HISTORY Subang Jaya was developed by Sime UEP Berhad, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby Berhad. The site was formerly an Oil Palm plantation called Seafield Estate. Construction work in Subang Jaya began in 1974 and was concluded in 1988. Upon the completion of Subang Jaya, in that same year Sime UEP began clearing land for the development of USJ . In 1997, Subang Jaya was granted with the status of a municipality. Local authority was transferred from the ''Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya (MPPJ)'' (Petaling Jaya Municipal Council) to the newly gazetted ''Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ)'' (Subang Jaya Municipal Council). The MPSJ holds local government authority not only in Subang Jaya, but USJ , Bandar Sunway, Puchong and other parts of Petaling district. AMENITIES AND ACCESSIBILITY Over the years, Subang Jaya has matured into a community well-provided with amenities. The township has numerous schools, colleges, a hospital, places of worship, and vibrant commercial areas. A shopping complex, Subang Parade and the hypermarket chain Carrefour serve Subang Jaya. In nearby USJ , another shopping complex, the Summit Square, and local hypermarket chain Giant provide alternative shopping destinations for Subang Jaya residents. Subang Jaya is well-connected to the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam and the townships of Petaling Jaya , Bandar Sunway and Klang via a network of highways, namely the Federal Highway , the Shah Alam Expressway , the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), the North-South Expressway Central Link and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway . Subang Jaya is also served by an urban-suburb rail link, the KTM Komuter. Given its high accessibility, ample amenities and strategic location, demand for properties in Subang Jaya has soared, pushing prices upwards by as much as over 100% in some areas. Subang Jaya has also become known as a higher education hub, with three large colleges in the area, namely Taylors College , Inti College , and Metropolitan College , and another one a few kilometres down the road.This has led to much of the housing in the area, especially in the SS15 section, being converted to accommodation for students. Also, many offices offering student services are located in this area. LIST OF SHOPPING MALLS IN SUBANG JAYA LIST OF HOSPITAL IN SUBANG JAYA LIST OF MOSQUE
