Old PJ hawker centres need rejuvenation, enforcement


The food court near Jalan Othman market has broken wall and floor tiles, and the flooring could do with thorough cleaning.

FOOD courts under Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), especially those located in the older parts of the city, are rundown and its facilities are in need of repairs.

A survey by StarMetro found many stalls either closed or misused. Some have become offices for insurance and travel agents, and some are electrical appliance repair shops.
