Deciphering One S from another.

Pee Jay - my beloved, roundabout filled home for most of my life. It's great, you get the bestest bubble/nata tea, the number of people at the mamaks are big enough to rival most attendees at a football game (or a chinese wedding dinner), it's location is so central that you can shoot off to kl or subang and reach either in the same amount of time.

BUT FOR HEAVENS SAKES BE WARNED - pj roads are despicable. im not even saying that the road maintenance is deplorable, im talking about the road signs! ss lah, then got s lah (section), then got pju, then got pjs, right anot?i mean, what the hell?

overseas, and i dont mean to compare to hail the white people, its just why do we have to make our roads so statistical sounding? they've got road names like Mulberry Street...we've got Jalan 17/13. And you can't say it's becos it's easier to write or remember cos check the next one out - the've got The Great Ocean Road, we've got Jalan Opu Daeng Merewah Satu 9/2A - alphabets AND numbers.hwaliao,brilliant.

so i stumbled across this site that explained it more clearly - S or Section are road names in the East of Pj, SS stands for Subang-Sungei Way meant for West pj, PJU stands for PJ North, and PJS is PJ South...so even if i should get lost, i'd at least know if were in the east or west..or in kajang.
