The Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur (as it was known then), the oldest Rotary club in Malaysia, existed in spirit as early as 1918, when leaders in government, commerce and professions residing in Kuala Lumpur mooted the idea of forming an association to promote community service and inter-community harmony.
The club was officially founded in 1928, and with a short interruption during the Japanese occupation, when the club did not function, has been active ever since in community-related service projects, helping the needy and underprivileged, the youth and in many more areas of focus.
Today, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja, being one of the largest and most active Rotary clubs in Malaysia, is busy as ever, doing a multitude of service projects.
