Five minutes' away is the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) with connections to Ipoh to the north and Shah Alam, Bukit Raja and Klang to the west as well as Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, KLIA and Nilai to the south.

Kampung Sungai Penchala has two mosques; Masjid Al-Hidayah, as well as Masjid Jamek Tengku Abdul Aziz Shah. Kampung Sungai Penchala has an ethnic Malay population made up of various hailing from a number of regions from Indonesia, such as Kerinchi, Boyan or Bawean, Java, and Minangkabau who have long lived in the village.
