History
Damansara Jaya which was developed by Paramount Garden, then part of the See Hoy Chan group in the mid-seventies originally encompassed just Section SS22 of Petaling Jaya. Section SS22A which mainly consists of bungalows and semi-detached homes was later added to Damansara Jaya. Construction commenced in 1975 and the early residents of Damansara Jaya first occupied their newly completed double-storey terraced homes in 1978.
The latest addition to Damansara Jaya is some 14 units of semi-detached three-storey houses. This development was originally known as Aman Residency but after completion was renamed as the Damansara Residensi. These are relatively large homes with some 6,000 square feet (560 m2) built up area and up to 6 bedrooms. They were constructed on leasehold land during 2005 and 2006 by Genting Citra on a piece of land which was formerly secondary jungle behind the Jalan SS22/37 cul-de-sac. This new development is a gated community and is located on the Jalan SS22/47A cul-de-sac which joins the original Jalan SS22/47 behind the Damansara Jaya Primary School. Property in Damansara Jaya is generally considered to belong to predominantly Chinese and upper middle-class owners with the bungalow and semi-detached homes particularly sought after.

“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
