01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Selayang Baru Utara—542,409, Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.

The city row itself was updated 2024-04-22; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
