THE Section 17 commercial area in Petaling Jaya is well-known as a bustling hub for its morning wet market, kopitiam and other quaint sundry shops.

It was also not too long ago that the former Sentosa Cinema, which used to play many Shaw Brothers productions, would draw in crowds from all over the Klang Valley.
