PETALING Jaya is set to be formally recognised as Malaysia’s first child-friendly city in September this year.

Petaling Jaya mayor Mohamad Azhan Md Amir said the city’s initiatives and projects since 2009, including involving children in the planning and city’s development process, had earned recognition from the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef).
