Genting Kelang Market

Genting Kelang was once known as Peng Chong or biscuit factory in Cantonese. The market used to be located by the roadside under the current pedestrian bridge. However, because of the jams created each morning, the hawkers and traders were relocated to a better place opposite the old side, just within walking distance from the multi-storeys that are Pelangi Court (the one facing the main road) and Genting Court.

Apart from vegetables, fish and meat, you can also find clothings and household utensils here. The pork selling area is at one corner with a sign that says Tempat Menjual Daging Khinzir. You will see a small red shrine near this area.

Air Panas Market

The Air Panas or Hot Springs market is a hive of activity from 6am daily. This wet market is a favourite of those who stayed in the vicinity. Things are relatively cheap and within the heart of this building are foodstalls, surrounded by the vegetable and meat stalls.

There is also an in-house pork selling area but since this is haram to Islam, the pork sellers are relegated an area at the end of the market.

You can find mutton and some beef here, too. the vegetable section are located beside the main road. Parking is across the street and free. On weekends, opposite thr road from the market's entrance is a collection point for recyclables.

Section 2 Mosque

This is one beautiful structure, a huge mosque that sits diagonally opposite the Alpha Angle shopping complex at the hillside facing Section 2. It was built in 2007 and is still being beautified. This is one of the many mosques you can find in Wangsa Maju, this of course being the largest. Within shouting distance are various suraus and madrasahs.

Help! Someone's cutting down the trees in Genting Kelang!

Trees that were grown for over 10 years chopped off just like that. What the heck is happening?

Can the MP find out what is happening? Trees along Jalan Genting Kelang opposite the Golf Range until the JPJ is being lobbed off and the stumps left. The trees were on what City Hall calls "Kawasan Hijau" or Green Area. After these few days, it wo't be green any more. What a waste of funds.

City Hall trucks were seen loading the debris and carting them off elsewhere.

Is a road expansion plan being undertaken? If so, then it is about time. Maybe someone can enlighten?

Taman Sri Rampai

Rampai Business Centre

Taman Sri Rampai is a slightly more "upmarket" housing area with its houses (terraced double-storeys) being more expensive than the cluster houses at Taman Setapak Jaya. The residents here are predominantly Chinese and the residential area surrounds a bustling business district where a bank, shops and other amenities are located.

There is a multi-storey Rampai Business Centre which is struggling with its occupancy with only the ground floor being occupied by business ranging from phone shops and pharmacies to tailors and opticians.

The only multi-storey accommodation here is the Rampai Court Apartments - a four to five-storey walk-up gated apartment complex of several blocks. Half of it sits on a hillock behind which is the up-market condominium Desa Putra.

Rampai Court - one of the earliest multi-storey housing in Taman Seri Rampai.
Neighbouring Taman Seri Rampai are low cost flats overlooking the lake where lotuses can be seen all year round. It used to be an abandoned lake till City Hall in 2007 rebuilt it and introduced a fountain as well as jogging paths and trees as part of the refurbishment.


Yes, even Taman Seri Rampai has some night life
