Petaling Jaya
Petaling Jaya (commonly called "PJ" by locals) is a major Malaysian
city originally developed as a satellite township for Kuala Lumpur.
It is located in the Petaling district of Selangor with an area of
approximately 97.2 square kilometres (37.5 sq mi). Petaling Jaya
granted its city status on 20 June 2006. Petaling Jaya is the
central hub of Klang Valley as it is located in between Kuala Lumpur
and West KL which includes Subang Jaya, Puchong, Shah Alam and
Klang.
On 1 January 1977, Petaling Jaya Town Authority was upgraded to
Petaling Jaya Municipal Council (MPPJ), pursuant to the Local
Government Act 1976 by the government. On 20 June 2006, Petaling
Jaya Municipal Council was upgraded as Petaling Jaya City Council (Majlis
Bandaraya Petaling Jaya, MBPJ).
Now, the administrative area of MBPJ is 97.2 square kilometres which
is rapidly growing. Petaling Jaya has a total population of over
619,925 people and the number of property holding of 217,930.
Petaling Jaya is now known as the leading growth centre in Selangor.
Petaling Jaya is divided into several sections. Some are subdivided
into smaller neighborhoods (kejiranan), for example SS5D. Some
sections have their own names (SS1 as Kampung Tunku), while other
sections are grouped together (SS3, SS4, SS5, SS6 and SS7 as part of
Kelana Jaya). Besides that, Petaling Jaya also comprises the
affluent township of Damansara. These sections names are used in the
addressing format for locations in Petaling Jaya.
A
prominent landmark in PJ is the Kota Darul Ehsan arch which
symbolically marks the boundary between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling
Jaya. This arch straddled the Federal Highway (Lebuhraya Persekutuan)
which was originally the only highway link between Petaling Jaya and
Kuala Lumpur. However, many links now exist as alternatives to the
congested Federal Highway.
Active property developers in Petaling Jaya are PKNS, (which are the
main pioneer of development for PJ), Sunway Bhd, Tropicana Bhd,
AmCorp, Mah Sing Group and Guocoland as well as many others. Due to
the immense size of Petaling Jaya township, properties development
in the area also includes small to medium sized developers such as
Sri Aman Development and Nusmetro.
The introduction of the Putra Light Rail Transit (LRT) (now known as
LRT
Kelana Jaya Line) service in 1998 saw the addition of the Rapid
KL feeder bus services. The combination of
LRT
Kelana Jaya Line and feeder bus brought a relief to many
Petaling Jaya residents especially those who had to rely on public
transportation.
