About Petaling Jaya

Petaling Jaya is a large satellite city beside Kuala Lumpur in Selangor, a planned town of parks, malls, hawker streets and old coffee shops.

Petaling Jaya adjoins Kuala Lumpur on its western side, in the Klang Valley. It was begun in 1952 on former rubber estate land as a planned new town for the capital, with the first houses built around what is still called the Old Town, and became a city in its own right in 2006. Neighbourhoods are known by numbered sections and names such as SS2, with wide roads, schools, lakes and shopping centres. Its position gives quick rail and highway links to downtown Kuala Lumpur.
