Petaling Jaya ( PJ ) Selangor

Heading southwest from Kuala Lumpur on the busy Federal Highway, one is greeted by a majestic arch marking the gateway to Selangor. Beyond the monument lies Petaling Jaya (PJ). Drive on, feel its pulse and if you keep going for another 40km or so, you will sense the different beats of two more cities.

Petaling Jaya

As you approach the third interchange on the Federal Highway, the city’s first international class hotel, Petaling Jaya Hilton, will be on the horizon. A left turn here will bring you to one half of Seksyen 52. This ‘New Town’, or ‘The State’ as the locals prefer, is the heart of PJ where various public, financial, and commercial services abound.

A right turn across the Federal Highway will bring you to the other half of Section 52, where Plaza Armada and Hotel Armada dominate the skyline. Section 14, a popular area for residents and workers in the vicinity to shop, eat and drink, is only a stone’s throw away. Another favourite haunt for the locals is SS 2, a busy commercial area known for its night market with a great variety of hawker fare.

To the north of Section 14, within 20 minutes drive away, lie another two bustling commercial areas which are only a few kilometres apart. While Damansara Utama offers an enclave lined with offices, shops, restaurants and entertainment outlets, Bandar Utama showcases one gigantic shopping complex in One Utama Shopping Centre where practically everything can be found under one roof. Both are also known for the nightlife activities they offer. The area beyond Bandar Utama, notably Bandar Sri Damansara, is becoming a much sought-after residential and commercial area.

Going straight along the Federal Highway after the third interchange will bring you to Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya, and by the Federal Highway Route II, all the way to Shah Alam and to the outskirts of Klang.
