Subang Jaya (commonly called "Subang" by locals) is a suburban city in the Klang Valley, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located about 20 km west from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. It comprises the southern third district of Petaling, making it the 5th most populous city in Malaysia. Subang Jaya consists of SS12 to SS19, Bandar Sunway, USJ, Putra Heights and Batu Tiga. The city is governed by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ), which also governs other areas of the Petaling district under Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Puchong and Seri Kembangan.

Subang Jaya was originally a township of Petaling Jaya. However, due to the high population and rapid developments, it has earned its own municipality. The city was developed by Sime UEP Berhad, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby. The site was formerly a rubber plantation called Seafield Estate under the municipality of Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya. Construction work for the development of Subang Jaya began in 1974 and was concluded in 1988. Upon the completion of Subang Jaya on the same year, Sime UEP began clearing land for the development of USJ. In 1999, Sime UEP began the development of Putra Heights.



In 1997, Subang Jaya was granted the status of a municipality. Hence, the local authority was transferred from the Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya (MPPJ) (Petaling Jaya Municipal Council) to Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) (Subang Jaya Municipal Council). The MPSJ holds local government authority not only in Subang Jaya, but also USJ, Putra Heights, Batu Tiga, Bandar Sunway, Puchong, Bandar Kinrara, Seri Kembangan, Balakong, and other parts of Petaling district. Subang Parade, Empire Subang, Sunway Pyramid and the hypermarket chain Aeon Big Subang serve as the main shopping attractions around Subang Jaya city centre. In adjacent township of Bandar Sunway, there is the popular Sunway Lagoon, an amusement water theme park which is a popular landmark across the nation.



Subang Jaya is well known as a light industrial hub in the Klang Valley. The main industrial areas are in the city are Subang Industrial Park SS13, Sime UEP Industrial Park, Subang Hi-Tech Industrial Park and USJ 1 through USJ 8, involving in both light and heavy industry. The Malaysia headquarters of PROTON, Lotus Cars, Faber-Castell and many other major international companies are located in Sime UEP Industrial Park.

Back in the early 90s some retiree folks inform me their homes used to be shunned by most ppl due to its too far location from kl and dalam hutan...how rapid times have changes...

anyone remember the old kfc? drive thru wan now become the golf range there

Dunno lol. The vid mentioned subang jaya.

Yea, I remember that. Used to be my family fav eating place other then a&w pj.

Who remember mind shop infront of subang parade used to buy comics there

i only remember the one at the now 3k centre there...some comic book shop very long time ago

Oh yes, my source of Archie comics.

Good times....will always be a proud Subangian. I always believed this place will be awesome one day so made investments in a couple of properties about 7 years back and not disappointed. Also, its great to not have the Federal government in charge of this place.

last time play squash in the country club there

The time b4 usj ever existed . Whoever bought usj property when it just opened sure happy now

thank you for the history lesson ts. Been living here my whole life.

Moreover parade used to be a hangout spot.

I can still remember Sunway Lagoon was surrounded by empty land with grasses in 1993.

Fuuu..subang...last time xda usj..hidup tenang..bukak usj je..adoiiiiii

problem pegawai?

moved to subang jaya, when people said to my parents "gila ka? situ hutan kelapa sawit je, kenapa duduk dalam hutan?"

my house price was rm100k, now it's rm1million

now lots of people want to move here, and can't afford to buy a house here too.

and ss15 was always a peaceful place, buy breakfast at the square (now market sudah pindah situ) nasi ayam kak laily or nasi lemak. Seng hup lamp shop was there, there was no traffic light, all roundabouts. not many cars last time. it was when kesas was completed then suddenly jadi gila the traffic here.

DCM....

mestilah...

History repeats intself presently. New township are being shunned due to proximity and face problem. Everybody want cheap housing around Klang Valley as near as possible to KL and claimed the rest as "not for human live one".

ada sos tak...

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.

GodTown for god people only

i was the first batch of Bandar Sunway.
before they have pyramid, lagoon and the LDP.
those time, no traffic at all.
noww.. its grrrr..

also, my uncle was the first batch of SS18 subang.
always go over to his place.
now his house is worth close to 1mil.
same case with sunway's area. typically PJS 9 tho

manyak syioookk oh.
dulu buy not even 100k. lol

25 years ago , all the way from Kepong.. my unker and aunt took me (by bus) to Subang parade when it first opened and bought me a LEGO from TRU there. Seemed like an outstation journey.

but usj 1

currently living in BS for almost 4 years..bought a house there..
hurm...

Yea, that place very . Not sure hows the property value there. Much crazy they are building another soho beside summit. Wonder how they got approval.

But what I know is, those that bought area usj taipan n around goodyear court sure happy happy now

around taipan ok la..
usj 4-6..but usj 1..fuh...da men new soho..
fuhh....even i go to giant there..still cant bear the hectic jammsss

USJ 1 has Empire remix, You one(dunno if got commercial or not), Giant, Maidin, DaMen, Summit, LRT soon... What else? I really hope they restart the plan to build a bridge from puchong to usj 1 via the lake

Sorry to dig old thread. feeling nostalgic somehow

kojack18 remember when old folks dem scared if one day those houses at taman subang indah in front of pyramid will collapsed one day?

budak subang jaya~ memang ada gaya~ macam hari hari, hari raya~

bila pergi fifteen, still so fresh so clean~

I remembered being taken to subang by my Uncle and Aunt on their vespa, almost 30 years via jalan sg buloh I think.. halfway lotsa forest/palm trees and there's a small river where I stopped to dip my feet and play with the water there. At the very end of the road there's a T junction with a huge tree nearby (and the racetrack shouldn't be far)

I recall the biggest worry about house sinking was wangsa baiduri

all unker unker subang jaya

not for human live one

yes indeed.

and some folks scared if one day wisma tractor kana crashed by some airplanes from subang airport

During those times even bangsar also people not keen to buy coz ex estate area.

>SS15
>clean

Hahahaha. Tikus, lipas everywhere, kek.

Memang nampak ballin’, walaupun tengah miskin,

its about budak subang jaya, bukan ss15 punya area yg fresh and clean

And proudly so.

First moved to SS15 35 years ago and gosh how much it has changed.

I moved into 19 recently, by god SS15 is some place I totally wanna avoid

Well it wasn't always that way... now ppl park cars like beruk.

SS15 not for human live one.
Jam like F

Last time kampung ma... Nak o bike susah, no o bike drive then join in part of beruk..

last time during 90s traffic much worse lah during the completion of sunway pyramid + NPE. sometimes the roundabout at the ss15 virtually not moving at all.

Another one is this....

Recently went back after 5 years....dem feel so nostalgic to be stuck in jam in a perodua hahahaha

K0070232 by vmwt, on Flickr

Wait ah.. I slowly dig back some old pictures

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.

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.

back then, MVF not yet been built... and the track also...

during last job, park at the IWK loji there and walking towards their lab... i think around 1km almost...

i thought why go notices on the dashboard... due to this...

the map is the old and from there we can conclude real damansara is located in shah alam area...hehehehe others are copy2 only...

25 years of living in Subang Jaya.

Miss the good ol KFC Drive Thru and A&W.

Ayyyy, at least we have A&W in Taipan 😁

Restoran Mee Yoke lol

Subang is way too slow

I remember subang ended at a line of palm oil trees. Now, that line of trees is d kesas. time flies ...

Ya man, i remember the last movie watched there was batman forever, edi out for quite awhile, so quite empty in the cinema.

Subang Parade was the bees knees during my childhood. I like going to toys r us.

Is it? I remember some pasar madam stalls there before that. Which year was the cinema there?

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

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







in the late 80s KL-Klang use to have Volvo bus. damn fast I tell you. if federal highway no jam ( mostly after 9PM you can reach klang town within 1 hour )

but if sri jaya using this hino bus ah? will take forever especially during climbing the now batu tiga federal highway road

the A&W at the old 3K center(now closed) and thew one at taipan also sucks big time IMHO. I think the upper management kinda clueless on how to manage a good business lah. u see the taipan branch one. staff also clueless most of the time. damn long queue.the old 3K center one even though 24 hours but somehow always don't have enough staff + waffle will take forever to cook.

the better one is at hentian seremban towards JB.

Last time subang especially usj area got many MAS stewardess staying there bcoz of the Subang airport and even after KLIA open, they still prefer to stay in Subang area. Not sure their whereabout nowdays bcoz ayam no longer go clubbing

yes they used to stay around subang, then in the 90s many of them moved to goodyear court area. more privacy

USJ=Seafield Jaya

those were the days lah

Sooner or later places like salak tinggi and nilai will be near...

Jalan Puchong (State Road B11)

There is no LDP prior to 1998 lah. That time,
- on Central PJ side,there was a dual carriage way road from KDU all the way to Kelana Jaya & ended up joining fed highway at sg way ( without the bridge). On Sunway side, the road is a dead end till the current Caltex stn b4 the toll plaza. Sunway was so peaceful and quiet prior to 1998.

-on Northern PJ side, the road after KDU or after Uptown Damansara was just a narrow kampung road i.e Jln Damansara all the way to Kepong - yeah toll free and jam for sure.

-on puchong side, there was no road linking Sunway to Puchong - didn't exist at all. The main road was the okr - kinrara till puchong perdana ( which was upgraded to 2 lanes in mid 90's. After puchong Perdana, it was a tiny jalan Puchong lama linking from Hicom shah alam to puchong and thereafter a very winding narrow road thru Pulau Meranti and never ending narrow road with a branch towards dengkil & another towards kajang..really narrow prior to yr 2000!

Yup. To be precise, the actual location of Damansara is actually surrounding the current F&N factory / Tiong Nam area. That was the last inland klang river jetty before goods trf from boats to lorries via Bt 3 to KL.

I love Subang Jaya. It is the best place. It is the most established township too. Others not as good as Subang Jaya.

All hail Subang Jaya

Among all USJ area, USJ 1 is the worse place to live in

after the existence of LRT, the traffic has lesser a lot compare to older days.

SJ is a damn freaking awesome place to stay!
