PJ: The little town that grew and grew

Good old days: Soraya and her mother Rogayah Ismail reminiscing about their times in PJ at their home in Section 14.

As we celebrate Malaysia’s independence, StarMetro takes a look at the places you grew up in and how they have changed. In this first part of the series, we take a look at Petaling Jaya, which was established years before the founding of this nation.

ARTIST photographer Soraya Yusof Talismail tried moving out of Petaling Jaya once, but her love for the satellite town — declared a city six years ago — drew her back in no time.
