Take the NKVE towards Klang.
Take exit # 103 (Bukit Jelutong, Guthrie Corridor Expressway, Shah Alam, etc.) and proceed north onto the Guthrie Corridor Expressway.
Take exit # 3505 for Bukit Subang and turn RIGHT over the top of the Guthrie Corridor. Proceed to the T-junction and turn RIGHT again onto Jalan Sungei Buloh going towards Monterez intersection.
After about 1km - turn RIGHT at the light (may or may not be working) with hash signs.
If you reach a Shell station on your left, you missed the turn - go back!

If you want to avoid the Guthrie Toll, try these directions:
Get on the NKVE going towards Klang.

Alternatively, if coming from the north, it may be easier to go via Jalan Sungei Buloh from Kota Damansara or Sungei Buloh.

For Kota Damansara, take NKVE exit #107.
About 1.5km after the toll, take flyover to Persiaran Surian (heading north). After flyover, turn LEFT at 2nd lights (after passing McDonalds on right).
