In yesterday’s event, more than 1,500 residents participated in all the activities organised by MBSJ.

MBSJ closed the road starting from Persimpangan Jengka up to Persimpangan Persiaran Kemajuan for this programme to take place.

“Selamat Pagi Subang Jaya took place for the second time this month. We will host it in other locations if it is well received.

“We would like the programme to reach more people. This programme could also help MBSJ to examine and evaluate the infrastructure in the local areas,” he said at a press conference after attending the Selamat Pagi Subang Jaya programme.

Among the locations proposed for the programme expansion are Seri Kembangan, Serdang and Bandar Kinrara.
