PASAR Besar Jalan Othman – better known as PJ Old Town Market – has seen some changes in the past few months, notably after the detection of several Covid-19 cases.
In the ensuing closure for extensive sanitisation, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) decided to carry out renovations to improve the conditions at the premises.
Work on the city’s oldest wet market included installing perimeter fence and gates and repairing some of the broken tiles.

In its enthusiasm to go digital, MBPJ is demanding that payment for assessment bills be made only through digital means, without an alternative.
It also said that the council would not make exceptions for late payments, a harsh action that reflected how the local government had not considered the plight of the digitally disadvantaged.
