Selayang is a town in Gombak District, Selangor, Malaysia. A new township, Bandar Baru Selayang is sited just 2 km away and was named after the town, where Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS, English: Selayang Municipal Council) is located.
Selayang is located on the main route to Rawang through Jalan Ipoh, and this route is connected to Jalan Kuching as main Rawang-Kuala Lumpur route. It is also an optional getaway to Damansara by passing Kepong via Kepong-Selayang Highway, which is a neighbouring town to the southwest. A route connecting Selayang and Gombak in the east is Jalan Batu Caves, which is annually closed during the Thaipusam celebration.
Most of Selayang is administered by Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS). Part of the town that spills over into the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur is administered by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL, English: Kuala Lumpur City Hall).
The postcode for Selayang is 68100 Batu Caves, including the part of the town located in the federal territory, as postcode areas do not necessarily correspond to state borders. However, to minimise confusion, the postcode for the federal territory part is often written as 68100 Kuala Lumpur.
Among facilities and infrastructures accessible is bus transportation provided by RapidKL and Metrobus, Batu Caves Komuter station which was formerly the old Batu Caves railway, Stadium, the MPS Sri Siantan Sports Center (locating the public swimming pool, locally known as Kompleks Sukan Sri Siantan), hospital, public library, public university and access to the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2).
