Puchong

South-eastern Asia

Puchong is a major town and a parliamentary constituency in the Petaling District of Selangor, Malaysia. It borders Kuala Lumpur and is part of the Greater Kuala Lumpur area, and it is bordered by Petaling Jaya in the north, Subang Jaya in the west, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya in the south and Seri Kembangan in the east. The place was once a small settlement of tin mining and rubber tapping communities and has evolved into one of the most bustling townships of the Klang Valley. Demand for living space there is largely driven by the commute distance to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre and by sharp increases in property prices across the wider Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.
