Subang Jaya: Thriving but filthy

Unsavoury sight: Bags of rubbish and bulk waste can be seen at several places along the pedestrian walkways in SS15.

Subang Jaya has come a long way since the township’s birth three decades ago. It comes under the Subang Jaya Municipal Council, which also oversees Bandar Sunway, Puchong and Serdang. Starting today, StarMetro will highlight news, issues and events from the areas under MPSJ’s jurisdiction in our Greater Subang column.

Subang Jaya was developed by Sime Darby on a former plantation in the 1980s. Starting out as a modest residential area, the township has matured into a thriving neighbourhood with busy commercial areas such as SS15 and USJ10, among others.
