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 was
granted city status on 20 June 2006.
Petaling Jaya is surrounded by the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur
to the east, Sungai Buloh to the north, the capital of Selangor,
Shah Alam to the west and Subang Jaya to the south.
Petaling Jaya is divided into several sections. Some are subdivided
into smaller neighbourhoods (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.
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.
Close to the Kelana Jaya Line's Taman Jaya Station are the Petaling
Jaya Museum Thai Wat Chetawan temple. This ornate building is very
popular amongst the Buddhist community. A short drive ahead is PJ
State, the nickname for the Central Business District of Petaling
Jaya with the landmark Menara MBPJ as a focal point. PJ State is
more formally referred to as PJ New Town.
Damansara is the main shopping hub of Petaling Jaya with many of the
city's shopping malls being located there. Some of the notable
shopping malls in the city include The Curve, Ikea, Ikano Power
Centre (IPC), One Utama, Tropicana City Mall, Empire Damansara,
Sunway Pyramid and Paradigm Mall.
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 size of Petaling Jaya township, properties development in the
area also includes small to medium-sized developers such as Sri Aman
Development and Nusmetro.
Before the rapid development and commercialisation of Petaling Jaya,
there were only a handful of residential developments which
comprises mostly low to medium-cost apartments as well as terrace
houses. By 2005, luxurious condominiums, semi detached houses and
bungalows are a common sight within the area. These high end
properties are mostly located at Bukit Gasing, Section 16 & 17, SS7
Kelana Jaya, and more recent ones such as Tropicana, and Ara
Damansara.
