SUBANG Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has built a RM45,000 sheltered rest hub for p‑hailing riders in the SS15 commercial district under the Teduh initiative.
The structure, located in front of the SS15 modern market along Jalan SS15/4, is part of the Teduh@MBSJ project – a collaboration between the city council and the Selangor government’s Islamic Affairs, Halal Industry, Digital Infrastructure, Science, Technology and Innovation Standing Committee.
In a statement, MBSJ said the shelter was equipped with charging ports, benches, fans, LED lighting, CCTV cameras and recycling bins.
“This initiative reflects MBSJ’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the use of sustainable technology, as well as improving public comfort and facilities for the well‑being of the community, particularly p‑hailing riders,” the council said in a statement.
Measuring 4.5m by 3.9m, the hub was completed in two months and opened for use last month.
The project cost RM45,447, with RM30,000 contributed by the standing committee and the remaining RM15,447 funded by MBSJ.
Teduh – short for “Tempat Elok Dikhaskan Untuk Hentian”, meaning “a shaded spot or shelter” – began as a small urban intervention by Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) to improve the daily working conditions of food delivery riders.
MPS first transformed an underused lane along Jalan 2/16, Dataran Templer, Selayang into a Riders’ Pit Stop in 2023. It has since attracted ride‑hailing drivers, postal workers and other gig‑economy users.
Following the pilot’s success, the initiative received state‑level recognition last year, prompting the Selangor government to adopt and rebrand it as the Teduh programme, with plans to roll it out across all local councils.
MPS has since built a second Teduh shelter in Prima Sri Gombak, which Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari visited in late December 2025.
Selangor Islamic affairs and innovation culture committee chairman Dr Mohammad Fahmi Ngah said the first phase of the programme would be implemented across five city councils and municipalities.
Petaling Jaya City Council has identified Taman Bandar SS2 at Jalan SS2/61 as its Teduh site, while Sepang Municipal Council’s shelter will be located off Jalan Teknokrat 6 in Cyberjaya.
Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) Urban Transport Department director Nurul Sheema Abdul Rahman said Teduh@MBSA is being built near Wisma Emas Anuar on Jalan Plumbum P7/P, in Section 7.
“This spot has been identified as a focal point for p‑hailing riders. It is currently under construction and is expected to be completed early next month,” she said.
“This initiative can improve riders’ welfare and well‑being by providing a comfortable and safe rest area, which would hopefully result in reduced accident rates and congestion.”
The shelter, costing RM49,912, is funded through a RM30,000 state grant, with MBSA covering the balance.
It will feature solar‑powered fans, benches, and phone charging facilities.
