Bukit Jelutong In Pictures

Here I hope to share pictures of Bukit Jelutong as seen through my lenses or from pictures made available to me by friends, old and new, and also from other sources.

This is done out of love for this place called Bukit Jelutong.

First of all, let's see how would the world read about Bukit Jelutong if they stumbled onto it Wikipedia.

Bukit Jelutong is an upscale suburb of Shah Alam, the capital of Selangor state, Malaysia. The suburb is a planned community, with an area of over 2,200 acres (8.9 km²) and developed by Guthrie Property Holding Berhad (GPHB), the real estate development arm of Malaysian  conglomerate , Kumpulan Guthrie Bhd. Due to the suburb's upscale status, the residential units in Bukit Jelutong are mostly low-density bungalows and duplex houses, as well as some terraced houses. Bukit Jelutong has many parks and open grass areas.

Transportation

Bukit Jelutong is well-served by an excellent road network. The suburb is linked to Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang and other population centers in the Klang Valley by the North Klang Expressway (NKVE), the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), the Federal Highway and the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE). The expressways also link Bukit Jelutong to the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Port Klang.

Commercial

Bukit Jelutong has a small commercial center where sundry businesses and a supermarket are located. GPHB had intentionally avoided developing large-scale commercial areas to avoid traffic congestion and noise to maintain the suburb's atmosphere of serenity and exclusivity. Nonetheless, Bukit Jelutong has close proximity to the Giant and Tesco Extra hypermarkets, which are located just outside the suburb next to the GCE.

Industrial

The Bukit Jelutong Industrial Park is located in the eastern outskirts of Bukit Jelutong. It is a low-density industrial park hosting low-pollution, hi-tech industries as well as logistics warehousing and service facilities. The tenants are mostly multinational corporations  from various industries, such as Flextronics, Scania, ThyssenKrupp  and Schenker AG.

Recreation and leisure

Besides the abundance of parks, Bukit Jelutong is also notable for its proximity to several golf courses and country clubs. These include the Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, the Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, the Monterez Golf & Country Club, and the Saujana Golf & Country Club. The Shah Alam Stadium is also only a 5-minute drive away from Bukit Jelutong.^]

Community

The Bukit Jelutong community has proven to be a close community judging from its regular events. The main yearly event is the Bukit Jelutong Carnival held annually. The Carnival is organised by the Bukit Jelutong Residents Association.

Bukit Jelutong Residents Association

Registered in 2002, Bukit Jelutong Residents Association is very active. Regular events benefiting the residents are held regularly. Driven entirely by volunteers who are residents of Bukit Jelutong, the association is known for its close rapport with the local authorities.
