Ara Damansara

It has happened again for the umpteen times! There are only two 4-ways junction in this neighbourhood yet this junction next to Dataran Ara appears to be one that is condemned. Many accidents have occurred here before and after the traffic lights were installed. Cars have turned turtle and there was one fatality apparently a [...]

Cukai pintu is due this month, have you paid? As it is Hari Raya next week, you have two more days to do this. The drive in counter at MBPJ has just been newly renovated so if you are around the area, you can do it there. Hopefully, the queue is not too long but [...]

If you are brought up in the kampungs, you may have the opportunity to experience this. It is a very beautiful sight, a sea of pinkish flowers at different stages of blooming. Sometimes, you may find a peddler by the road side with a few bunches of Lotus fruits. It used to cost 50 cents [...]

If you are a regular user of the Tropicana link, you know the road has been marked and the traffic lights activated. Many have questioned the need for a set of traffic lights at this junction as this is a very low density neighbourhood. This is another example where MBPJ has got its priority wrong. [...]

Since there is so much interests here on this neighbourhood mall, I decided to drop by last Sunday. Turning off from Jalan PJU 1A/1, almost immediately, I had to make a quick decision. Should I go straight or make a right turn? I had earlier saw a small notice for delivery trucks. And the same [...]

You may be wondering why the traffic light is not turned on. Why is the road not marked? Many may also recall the manholes at the pavement were not properly covered for a while. And the job to complete the road was done at lightning speed like a blitzkrieg. The workers were burning midnight oil [...]

He cited complaints from Kelana Idaman residents and that lorries at the construction site nearby were using the tunnel. It was only through the actions of a few residents here and [...]

There are a couple of shopping malls within a short driving distance: 1U, Subang Parade, Empire, Tropicana, Atria and perhaps the latest SS2 Mall. Closer to home, we have the failed NZX which is kind of sad. So much money has been pumped into it yet it couldn’t survive. Blame it on Feng Shui perhaps? [...]

Widening road works at Jalan Tanjung went into overdrive over the weekend and the road remained closed this morning. Many motorists were caught unaware creating a massive jam made worse by the morning school hours when many parents were dropping off their children. As you can tell from the sign board, work is supposed to [...]

Two weeks after our gotong royong exercise, there is little change to the condition of the road except the outgoing lanes. For some reasons, little waves have appeared making this stretch very uneven and slowing traffic almost to a halt. On the other side, the condition is still good and some drivers are testing their [...]
