Flash flooding following the Feb 25 thunderstorm has sparked concerns over Petaling Jaya’s infrastructure, particularly in areas with ongoing construction. These incidents have raised questions about whether the city’s existing systems can cope with further development proposed by the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) under the Petaling Jaya Local Plan (RTPJ) 2035 (Replacement). The RTPJ 2035 (Replacement) will guide land use and development across Petaling Jaya for the next 10 to 20 years. Once the proposed local plan is adopted, developments that comply with it may proceed, making public review of the plan at this stage especially important. Residents are encouraged to examine RTPJ 2035 (Replace­ment) once it is released and to participate in the formal feedback process.
