This mid-century government building at PJ State wasn’t exactly a design classic. The waiting hall had neon polystyrene alphabets to welcome guests with stories of

stolen passports and misplaced ICs. Look out for the depressing aquarium, stalls selling Uptown-grade pirated accessories, and a cut-and-paste display on the history of

citizenship registry (shown above is Damansara Heights-dwelling expat’s permanent resident card).

There is an vegan restaurant / shop in SS18 Subang Jaya called Organic Fresh Mart that sells really cheap economy

rice. My plate (foreground) was worth only RM 3! With free (cucumber-fl avoured) soup!

Kelana Jaya... this mature middle-class neighbourhood has a farmer’s market every Saturday morning, popular among senior residents, wives of Customs offi cers, and

retired footballers. What bothered me was the disorganised traffi c, chalky, pothole-ridden road surface, and a breakfast

selection of everything fried and greasy). It’s the 21st century, but trading conditions are as deplorable as pre-

Independence days!

In the next edition: cheap to eat, millions to build.
