Talk:Petaling Jaya

Usage of "PJ"

I propose that future edits of this article use the proper name "Petaling Jaya" instead as "PJ" except in certain common place names such as "PJ North" so that it is consistent through-out the artice.

It would be nice if somebody could list all the divisions in PJ (the sections i.e Sec 1, SS2 etc). As I dont live in PJ, have limited knowledge about it. Anyway, it's one of the hallmark of PJ if compared to all the other cities in Malaysia. Thanks --Bukhrin 15:46, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

590 industries??

Removed "Petaling Jaya provides facilities to more than 590 industries such as Ford, Dunlop, Johnson & Johnson, Hilton Hotel and Siemens. "

Few issues with this one

1) provides facilities --- can we change this to "plays host"??? 2) 590 industries --- What is this number based on? Are you sure you don't mean "companies" or "industrial companies"?? example, Ford is not an industry, mooring is....???

Correction regarding history

The information about PJ's first 4 schools may not be accurate. This was probably picked up by the Wikipedia author from the Star Metro article of 4 May 2007, which has other inaccuracies including the Section 14 mosque being the first mosque in PJ and Jaya being the first supermarket.

The first mosque is that in Section 3, serving the Muslim residents of the Kawasan Melayu.

The first school in PJ is likely the Jalan 10 primary school in PJ Old Town. Other early schools include La Salle and the Assunta primary school. Both La Salle as well as Assunta secondary school came much later. Sri Petaling or SSP is definitely not from PJ's early days. SSP was established as late as 1969 or 1970. Other schools from PJ's 1960s probably include the Petaling Garden Girls School, the Jalan Selangor Primary School, the Methodist Primary School as well as Catholic High School.

We must also not forget about the Tamil primary school in Section 8 and the Chinese school in Old Town. I believe both of them existed since the 1960s. 58.26.54.142 03:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Jaya Supermarket

Is it worth writing so much about Jaya Supermarket?I think the section should be shortened to 1 or 2 sentences.Wai Hong (talk) 07:13, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Removed Otomotif College

I've removed Otomotif College from this section. The content is self-serving, unverifiable, and written like an ad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leemeng (talk • contribs) 01:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Grammar

Badly Written

This article is so badly written. It needs a complete overhaul, it lacks good grammar, intelligently written content, and focus. This page as with alot of pages about Malaysia is utterly despicable. Jdbepono (talk) 13:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

To add to article

Basic information to add to this article: the etymology/origin of the name "Petaling Jaya." With such a detailed article, how could the author(s) possibly have forgotten to include something so fundamental? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 16:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
