Alor Setar , formerly known as Alor Star from 2004 to 2008, is the state capital of Kedah, Malaysia. It is the second-largest city in the state after Sungai Petani and one of the most-important cities on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It sits along the country's longest expressway, located 400 km from Kuala Lumpur and 79 km north of George Town, Penang. The city is home to the Central State Administration Centre and is the administrative centre of Kota Setar District. Alor Setar, known as the Tip of Malaysia, is one of the most-unique cities in Malaysia because the public and private sectors operate from Sunday to Thursday every week, observing a Friday–Saturday weekend, along with Kelantan, Terengganu and Johor. Its location along the main travel route from Malaysia to Thailand has long made it a major transportation hub in the northern Malay Peninsula. At present, the city covers a land area of 666 km2 , which is occupied by more than 300,000 inhabitants . At the local-government level, Alor Setar is administered by the Alor Setar City Council. The city is served by the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport, which began operations in 2006. The airport is not served by any commercial international flights; however, there are special seasonal flights to Saudi Arabia for Muslim pilgrims performing the Hajj. The city is connected to other parts of Peninsular Malaysia by the North–South Expressway, the Shahab Perdana Bus Station and the Alor Setar railway station. The city's Kuala Kedah Jetty is served by ferries linking the city with the resort island of Langkawi. Alor Setar is the birthplace of two Malaysian prime ministers, YTM Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad.
