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?

yes indeed.

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

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.

Wait ah.. I slowly dig back some old pictures

not really related to subang/usj but nearby also lah

this one , somewhere in the 80s





as u can see, kesas is not even there yet. on the left near the track is the the current Taman Perindustrian Uep area

the sri hijauan condo, first condo in shah alam was built in 1992-93 just after proton factory ( jalan bukit hijau area )

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.

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.

the culprits are the traffic lights at the giant and also at the Da Men . plus the long wait at the summit usj traffic lights.

but yes, after lrt was completed the traffic has lesser a lot .
but I noticed USJ also got plenty of old people ... like me.

lots of old people around usj. u come to taipan sure can see plenty of my mates there

at least subang jaya SS area you still can see lots of youngsters around the college/uni area

u come to taipan area morning sure old folks here and there...

reminds me of PJ Jalan Othman area

FMHO I think even up to last 10 years traffic was quite bad around USJ. always stuck like forever in front of the summit traffic lights.

but yes, usj 2 got lots of youngsters too.

anyway

last time usj.com.my forum very active...during jeffooi time... nowadays like... meh?
