Puchong: The heart of Greater Klang Valley’s development

Puchong, emerging as the central development hub of the Greater Klang Valley, is set for rapid growth, providing essential amenities and sustainable living for its residents.

Selangor state executive councillor for investment, trade, and mobility, Ng Sze Han, emphasised the focus on development while preserving environmental beauty at the Puchong Community Arts Festival (Coart) in Taman Wawasan Recreational Park.

Sustainable growth in Puchong

Ng Sze Han highlighted the ongoing efforts to upgrade Puchong’s infrastructure and facilities.

“Puchong will become the heart of the Greater Klang Valley, and this is a challenge for us as we continually upgrade and provide basic amenities,” he said.

Over the past two decades, significant changes have been made to benefit the people, including expanding the transportation network and planning future facilities.

Ng also announced plans for an international-standard sports complex in Puchong.

“This complex will be equipped with futsal courts, basketball courts, and a safe jogging track. We hope these facilities will provide comfort and encourage the younger generation to build their families here,” he added.

Greater Klang Valley’s economic potential

The Greater Klang Valley initiative, first announced during the 2024 Selangor Budget, integrates Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, and Klang.

With the potential to become a major economic hub in Southeast Asia, it could rank among the top five valleys in Asia if fully realised.

The Puchong Community Arts Festival (Coart), which showcases local arts and culture, is expected to attract 8,000 participants.

Ng Sze Han emphasised the festival’s role in uniting various ethnic groups and promoting the beauty of nature.

“This festival highlights the arts and cultural life in Puchong and serves as a platform to unite various ethnic groups, encouraging residents to appreciate the beauty of nature and balance recreational and artistic activities,” he said.

Puchong’s strategic development aims to create a balanced and sustainable environment for its residents.

With ongoing infrastructure enhancements and community-focused initiatives, Puchong is poised to become the vibrant heart of the Greater Klang Valley, offering a high quality of life and economic opportunities.
