PETALING Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) free bus programme, the recycling bag made of bunting by housewives and the city’s library in the park initiatives were among the notable projects that earned the city council the Learning Cities Award 2019 by The Unesco Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL).

Deputy mayor Johary Anuar said MBPJ took a year to compile activities that were carried out for the community which encouraged growth in terms of learning among city folks.
