The rapid changing skyline has definitely placed Malaysia as your holiday plan. With a healthy economy, rising standards of living and a well-paid populace, Malaysia is a shopping heaven for tourist and locals alike. The shopping malls and entertainment spot is a hit among foreigners where they flocked to shopping complexes to take advantage of the price offered. It is worth the while shopping in Kuala Lumpur as goods offered in Malaysia are value for money.

Petaling Jaya (commonly called "PJ" by locals) is a Malaysian city originally developed as a satellite township for Kuala Lumpur comprising mostly residential and some industrial areas. A prominent landmark is the Kota Darul Ehsan arch which symbolically marks the boundary between Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. This arch straddled the Federal Highway (Lebuhraya Persekutuan) which was originally the only highway link between Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. However, many links now exist as alternatives to the congested Federal Highway.

Close to the Kelana Jaya Line's Taman Jaya Station is the Thai Wat Chetawan temple. This ornate building is probably the only authentic-design Thai temple in the Klang Valley and is very popular amongst the Buddhist community. A short drive ahead is PJ State, the nickname for the Central Business District of Petaling Jaya with the landmark Menara MBPJ as a focal point. PJ State is more formally referred to as PJ New Town.  Mutiara Damansara is the shopping heaven in Petaling Jaya. Some of the well known shopping malls are The Curve, Ikea, e@Curve and One Utama.
