Discover the charms and vibes of Petaling Jaya’s oldest township!
Petaling Jaya Old Town, better known as PJ Old Town, comprises Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4. It was built as a satellite town in Selangor in 1952 by the British to address overcrowding in Kuala Lumpur. PJ Old Town has a rich history as it served as the first administrative centre in Petaling Jaya. It was also an important economic and social hub.
All the places of interest and local food stops in PJ Old Town are marked out in the “PJ Old Town Cultural and Food Map”, launched in September 2024. The project, conceptualised by Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, is a pilot initiative undertaken to inject life into the city’s old town. The Map highlights 18 landmarks including places of worship, 13 old shops and 18 types of food including both Muslim-friendly and non-halal options. The digital version is available at pjlestari.com/cultural-map/
One of the historical highlights is the PJ Old Town Bus Terminal in Jalan Othman. Originally a vacant lot occasionally used by visiting circuses in the 1950s, it was later transformed into the Petaling Jaya Bus Terminal. Its heyday was during the 1970s to the 1990s. In 2015, the old terminal was replaced with a modern two-story facility, completed in 2018. The new terminal features elevators, toilets, offices, ticket counters, a convenience store, 16 shops, a waiting area, and facilities for people with disabilities.
