Berkeley is an old established township in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. In the 1970s, Paramount Property Development Sdn Bhd developed one of the earliest housing estates in Klang, Taman Berkeley.[1]

Background

Before it got its name of Berkeley, it was used to be known as "Taman Bukit Raja" in the early-1970s to the 1980s before having a change in its name. Berkeley Garden's township location is just adjacent to another old township, Taman Eng Ann & the newer township, Bandar Baru Klang (BBK) where most of the business areas & retail outlets including the AEON Bukit Raja Shopping Centre (Bandar Baru Klang) are situated.

Cuisine

Berkeley is famous for its food such as fried porridge,[2] claypot chicken rice,[3] mee hoon kueh[4] and bak kut teh.[5] [6]

Transportation

Berkeley is located near the Federal Highway. The township will be served by the planned BRT Federal Line's Berkeley station once the project starts its operation in 2018.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] The BRT project was shelved indefinitely following government's plan to build the Bandar Utama-Klang LRT line.[12]
