History

Taman Midah was developed in the 1970s as part of the southern suburban growth of Kuala Lumpur. The area was originally known as part of “Peel Estate,” which comprised rubber plantations before urbanisation began. The township was designed to provide affordable yet spacious housing for the city’s growing middle class. Its name “Midah” is believed to have been derived from a Malay female name, chosen for its simplicity and pleasant sound1.

Today, Taman Midah is a self-contained neighbourhood that blends old and new. The area features mainly terrace and semi-detached houses, complemented by newer condominiums such as Laman Midah and Midah Ria.

Commercial activity thrives around Jalan Midah Besar, where residents enjoy easy access to local eateries, grocery stores, and small businesses2.
