Since this year me and family celebrate in KL, me and wife purposely go lepak kl area. We thought to check out SG Wang to bring back some memory.
We parked at Lot10 and stroll around there before walking over sg Wang... As we step into the mall for the first time in more than 5 years, it looks pretty dull and lifeless. As we walk around reminiscent our old memory, we couldn't help but to feel sad with its current sorry state. Upper level floors seems mostly close now. Used to play arcade game there, now all gone d. Top floor mostly become either hobby shops or store.
Hopefully the management would do something to revive its glory days. BB Plaza is being developed into mix development now. Let's see if Sg. Wang will undergo some major renovation or not. With the mall competitions so intense these days, especially with BTS taking the crown from them in that area, they need to make changes quick.

QUOTE(JimbeamofNRT @ Feb 11 2016, 02:06 AM) it has getting worse for , what, 6 years I think. used to be a happening mall. but now? It was the most happening mall in that area even in the early 2000. Still remember went for a massive New Year countdown with a lot of superstars invited... It was so freaking awesome with performances start as early as 5pm running all the way till midnight. MyFM always got event there. Now?  I am surprise that BTS actually survived its early days slow start and surpassed Sg. Wang now... Constant improvement has drive them up the competition. Hoepfully SG wang management would do something about it soon.

No choice, else the competition will leave them behind.

QUOTE(Vape On @ Feb 11 2016, 12:10 PM) There is no way sgwang can be revived. Bts surpassed it in everyway. Including car park. And there are simply oversupply of shop lots in the golden triangle after Bts opened up. Not to mention people now can shop at other places like 1u midvalley sunway. The real attraction of sg wang is nearby the lowyat plaza and those hobby shop in bts. Else i dont see the attraction point BTS used to be shitty in the early days. It is not nice to shop in BTS coz its vertical up instead of horizontal wide. It has up to 10 levels and usually ppl dun wanna go all the way up when they shop... However, it managed to hang on and redeem itself by constantly improving the structure, layout, and shopping experience. A big different when u have a rich management team in Berjaya Group.
