I moved to SJ around 25 years ago, that time, still no USJ, kelapa sawit all around, people complained it was 'very far' from KL, lel.

Remembered there was only some traffic, and the roundabout near SS19, subang parade was the go place to shop around.

Anyone got pics of the town's progress from years back? Nostalgia.

I recall when subang parade first open...my folks so eager to travel from bangsar to see the complex. My first stop was toy r us.

Nowadays Sunway area can call Little Jakarta.

1 because of the bad traffic jam, another because the mall seems to be populated by Indonesian Chinese students. Rich bastards. All studying in Sunway.

And across the NPE there is Mentari which is also a Little Indonesia-all the Indon stalls.

The estate lies five miles distant from Batu Tiga railway station, from which it is approached by a good cart-road. It embraces 1,075 acres, 310 of which have been planted with Para rubber, varying in age from two to seven years. In 1906, 11,000 lbs. of well for the future production of large quantities of excellent rubber.

GLENMARIE AND BATU ESTATES. These properties formerly belonged to the Selangor Plantations Syndicate ; but in January, 1906, they were taken over by the newly formed Batu Tiga (Selangor) Rubber Company, which has a capital of A60,000. Originally, about 260 acres of the Glenmarie estate, which embraces altogether 2,050 acres, were planted with coffee and pepper. This area has been interplanted with rubber, and, including this, there are altogether 910 acres under rubber cultivation, the trees ranging in age from a few months to ten years. Tapping was commenced in April, 1906, and the yield up to the end of the year was 2,260 lbs.

Been here for 23 years now, it's a great place but sadly many Subang people have moved out over the last few years due to congestion.

There's hardly any greenery around too besides the Subang lake sad.gif

I thought some houses facing the main road got affected seriously, sinking and they had to move out.
Took those Sj and klang buses plying this route... almost daily see the white ex-mining land...

IIRC those were Sri Jaya 252 and KL-Klang Omnibus No 51 from Kelang Bus Station to KL via old klang road
