Petaling Jaya

Starting  as  a  small,  humble  town  in  the  50s measuring only 2.12sqkm, Petaling Jaya has developed into one of  the  most  important  cities  in  Malaysia.  Also  known  as  the  twin  sister  of Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling  Jaya  is  the  country’s  first  planned  town.  Consisting  of  numerous  commercial, residential and business  districts,  the  satellite  city  is  now  a  metropolis  of  500,000  inhabitants.  Due to its close proximity to Kuala  Lumpur,  Petaling  Jaya  remains  a  popular  choice  amongst  city  dwellers  and visitors alike. Aside from being  extremely convenient to get to the city centre from here, Petaling Jaya’s shopping and dining areas are also popular amongst ardent shopaholics and dedicated foodies.
