The five-storey portion of the building collapsed right to the basement, where the car park was located. A 10-storey office block at the other end of the building was not affected.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Soiman Jahid said 50 firemen rushed to the scene after receiving a distress call at 5.08pm.
The number of rescue personnel was later increased to about 150 with the police, Civil Defence Department and Petaling Jaya City Council joining in.
The old Jaya Supermarket building that was once a landmark in Petaling Jaya is now a rubble after it collapsed at about 5pm Thursday.
