From a planned dormitory town that was intended for folks who worked in KL to a self-sustaining satellite town — the growth of Petaling Jaya has been nothing but expected. The meticulous disarray of Petaling Jaya's sections and sub-sections only tell part of each community's unique niche and neighbourliness: trusted grocers, food stalls, and schools. Badan Warisan Malaysia’s Elizabeth Cardosa joins the show to talk about Old Town versus New Town, and Petaling Jaya, then & now.
