🛵 A Glimpse into Yesterday — Petaling Jaya Museum’s Hidden Charms

#summervacay #july2025 #citywalks #thingstodo Step into the past at the Petaling Jaya Museum, where the spirit of a township-turned-city quietly unfolds through black-and-white photographs, timeworn artifacts, and humble beginnings. One moment you’re admiring archival maps and street signs from the 1950s; the next, you’re face to face with an unexpected blast from the past — a life-sized mannequin of a vintage enforcement officer astride an old-school motorcycle, mid-mission, jotting down license plates of illegally parked cars. It’s a quirky yet nostalgic scene that perfectly captures a slice of PJ’s everyday life in its formative years — back when enforcement came with a notebook, not a handheld scanner. The museum may be small, but its charm lies in the details — a tribute to how far the city has come, and a gentle reminder of the way things once were.
