Your favourite childhood kopitiam. The weekend jogging loop everyone knows. That new cafe your friends have been talking about. Hey PJ! spotlights the places, faces, and stories that make PJ feel like PJ.
Created by UEM Sunrise as we prepare for our first chapter in this city. Think of it as us celebrating what's already here before we add our own story to it.
PJ's been around since 1952, but it's never been the type to act its age.
Old kopitiams. New cafés. Family workshops turned creative studios. Weekend markets that have been here forever, right next to whatever just opened last week.
That’s the thing about PJ - it grows without losing what makes it PJ. And that's exactly what we're here to celebrate.
Jom, let us take you to our favourite spots.
