3 months agoIt is a neat little museum located inside Taman Jaya. I never knew it existed until now. Very well organized and plenty of info about Petaling Jaya. And, I learnt that PJ got its name from the Petaling Tree!!! Now where do I find this tree? ?

3 months agoIt's a great experience. Even though it's lil bit small for a museum but the historical values are priceless. The history of Petaling Jaya where most people don't know were written here and can be read by generations.
