Miharja flat vs shopping mall expenditure/spending..

answers is there.. more like trying to say I m staying there in d past..

See I didnt simply comment.. Damen give d same feeling at premium price and newly opened.. own turf I oso no give face..

but with night club opening it will survive long time

only sohem Manutdgiggs tink god place.. zzz

how if night club sapu by police enforcement ?

pasar bella STILL not open at DM yet, right?

What is DM ? Digital Mall at PJ seksyen 14 ?

So, mall next to flat can't do well, although it is located only around 5km to KL city center lah...

20km from town also can success like ioi city mall

Got nightclub??? Repoman claimed loyar really cincai tok.

Location not critical, size matter?

Pity Viva.. not dead? RIP..

nope.. a newly-opened mall located at USJ

oh, the tenants are gone one by one? The last time I've been there was 2014. That time also felt like abandoned mall.

yes.. tenants are gone one by one even till now

Window shopping got a lot, shall review again 2yrs later once the tenancy agreement expired

Check who d boss first baru sapu..

Not many have effect like IOI city mall success

actually enforcement don't care who the f* are you. they care for the $$$ amount u hand over to big boss

Nothing much to shop there

Dat y I say check d boss... operating like dis no big boss covee can work

u always go there & enjoy?

Do I look like someone dat high an earning to be able to spend there..

drugs places.. vips.. per room minimum 2k to 4k.. most exp 10k above.. per night...

One my sub tenants work there

setia alam mall is another success.

yeah, judging from the photo.. seems like a lot of people just window shopping.. on a side note, NU Sentral suffers although it seems the footfall is high on everyday

Many so called popular shopping mall very easy to get parking nowadays, all go to buy property already where got duit to spend?

No need review after 2 yrs. sudah check kao ioi city mall few shops and few booths business Liao. Buying power here is Sibeh strong. Consistent every month very good sale result. High growth sale result can fight with many famous mall. Most Taukeh very happy open shop here. Now many fight pecah head to get a good spot here.

Da Men mall USJ 1

Tis Mall is another sad story

True, the crowds from Kajang, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Seri Kembangan.

Hard to compare this mall with Metro Kajang, Alamanda, DPulze, Mines respectively.


As for Viva Home, i think people prefer to go Ikea Cheras, Aeon Maluri etc....too much competition.

This post has been edited by wchinwai: May 22 2016, 04:29 PM

true. IOI city mall is sibeh good. very lucky those open shop there

Despite many hentam this area to death in Lowyat.net. let me share back what people said a few months back

1. This place malay area. No buying power
2. This place gomen area. No buying power
3. This place less chinese. No buying power


I dunno why people think like that. Please put racism aside guys. Now i read people keep saying about Bangi area:


1. Malay area. So chap
2. Malay area no buying power
3. People with terrorists mindset live here.


Omg, dunno what to say. Say no to racism. Rich people can be either malay, chinese or indian or any other races. Stay united and objective as malaysians is better.

+1

thanks for certain parties to be in power, we're so divided nowadays. everything needed to link to race & religion

gomen staff is the one who spend a lot.. yes. salary not much compare with private sectors, but they don't save much too. juz see when gomen give out bonus or BR1M. all the mall will be full with people, esp those halal food outlets & fast food places

I disagree.. setia alam was never even considered sucess.. the occupancy rates there are not enough to support d business..

currently all comes from outsider for d park oni.. drawbacks will be seen much later..

ioi city mall caters different group of customers..

Well there are such ppl who tinks like dat....

Lets put racism aside and concentrate purely and objectively some where along the lines they are true isnt.. d prices variation shows all.. despite I knew bangi is highly populated by malay..even some high ranking officers

spending powers I shall not agreed upon.. in fact spending is equal or even higher.. however choices of food.. commercial activities really a big drawback.. rationally

absence of toto.. magnum
Drinking places
massage places ... be it good or bad
food places korean and japs taiwans.. hong kong etc etc are limited
saloons
workshops hmm large scales
banks are limited
second hand dealers

my 2 cents bro amint.. it will affect kajang 2.. nadayu.. of course TH factory area..

I think perhaps for non-malay investors who bought residential prop in malay majority area lose the advantage to malay investors due to the bumi discount? But for commercial prop is a different consideration all together. Boss AMINT, u think my thought valid or not?

Bear2 is the biggest racist in Lyn. Every project without above he said will gg.com. He though every non-malay same as him needs Toto, liquors, BKT, massage didi, and etc...
From my own observation, Malay has more spending power, especially in F&B and retails...
Ah bear's main contribution are gaming, chabo, drinking..

But I dont solicit those.. I heard u are running business isnt related ah? If you want to buy numbers u call dengkil kaki buy right black market..jeng hu no open there

as earlier stated.. I agree their spending are higher..

But d problems is limited retail and f& b to be invested.. chinese muslims food is a good bank

don't u wish one day u become boss of massage parlors and earn some bucks from em?

but it's a little too late... if u did this past few yrs u can get huge sum of profit from it

starting end of 2014.. massage & ktv no good liao

Earn big bucks is a go9d idea.. but via massage parlour not my game.. .. and immigration body..for workers.. u know a lot right.. u bail for them so many time..

I want to earn money via gemerlang cemerlang and terbilang

hmm... resemble your signatures "keadilan melalui undang2" ? but... but... when u gonna succeed in life working cemerlang and terbilang?

u hav plan?

glad to hear that ioi city is doing well.. thought most of them are just window shopping based on earlier photo..

should visit ioi city again in next few weeks

I think cheras people mostly go to Aeon Maluri/cheras selatan, Ikea Cheras or Cheras leisure Mall.. hardly see any crowd coming to viva home..

Still working on it.. but heading to right direction.. going for some more consolidated.. institutionalize law business ... like insurance.. banks.. irb.. tnb.. indah water..developers and etc.. after dat I will diversify in f&b or sth I like

started bridging good relationship with officers via quality work.. and relationship like help to hit target .

sadly I be approaching grey area..eh I though I migrating... pass business contacts to me..

Agree cheras folks go maluri.. like one stop for everyting other malls like viva mall.. south gate... 1 shamelin...giant connaught.. tesco midah.. carrefour jln peel..cheras sentral border line.. not going to do good...
not to forget other service apt shops and retails..

all those big companies 1.. if ur company is interested i will pass to u when we meet

how much u expect profit for every month? 100k? 500k?

All people come from different background, education level, different thoughts, vision and exposure.
All kind of immature racism discussion should be stopped because all arguement will be endless.
Wise is wise, blind is blind. All in brain and not by words.

Wah .. me aim 20k.. first 100k earning opex too high.. furthermore I got better tings to in my life... family.. vacations..histories

Society acceptance is in such a fashion.. generally and majoritily.. of course there are exceptions.. one of d party need to prove it.. to make d barrier disappear.. but only dat particular person or persons..

having said that I m open to any possibilities.. just dat I m straight to d point.. pusing pusing games is used to tackle girls only

must aim high ma if u wan to be successful in life..

gambateh!

Did you agree about Cheras people going to Leisure Mall(LM) too? Didn't see your text spelling LM with respect to earlier forummer's post.
Just seeking your confirmation only. Peace.

Yaya leisure mall not to be forgotten.. weird place.. but draws crowd.. really dunno why.. later will be better with eco vest and mrt.. the rows of shops are d generating factor...

behind leisure mall many old housing estate bkt segar.. etc etc..

and only d f&b wing is happening. D giant wing there bit deem.. parking issue was rampant.. but with d newly constructed elevated parking facility opposite maybank.. can gua.. friday pasar malam.. etc etc..

but things in commom

toto magnum
massage places thi best.. reborn.. etc .
F&b of variety ah roy thi.. taiwan.. jap.. etc
banks maybank.. cimb.. hong leong.. bsn..
cinemas
workshops

Leisure Mall has been there since early of 90s and still drawing footfall today. Yes it maybe interpreted weird, but this mall has been collective memory of Cheras people.

True enough.. leisure mall gives me a constant renewing feeling with variety of F&b.. mini cinema...everyting of sth but smaller scale than maluri aeon..

I treat not only leisure mall alone as mall d shops adjacent too as part of it.. just dat no kfc.. no burger king.. wendy..thou I dun eat them dat much..I work b4 in leisure mall.. during weekdays .. it is really leisure to walk..

it is luck factor I suppose..

If it is luck then luck has been with Leisure Mall all these yeats, relative to Phoenix and UE3 ....

if not mistaken, UE3 building has undergone refurbishment for the 2nd time (till become Viva Home for now) but still not doing well..

This post has been edited by MonGJiHyo: May 22 2016, 10:49 PM

Yup...the UE3(then) became Viva(now) and Phoenix(then) became Cheras Sentral(now)....
Luck is with Leisure Mall then and now, as compared to these revamped malls?

Maybe its because of the ease of entrance for Leisure Mall. Don't forget that in future there'll be MRT / LRT direct to Cheras Sentral, Leisure Mall and Viva Home.

Perhaps their value will be unlocked by then.

Not sure about any MRT1/LRT direct to Viva Home than what is already in placed.

MRT1 will have direct link bridge to LM and Cheras Sentral.
Cheras Sentral MRT station status has already been "downgraded" from an interchange status to just a station status after the new alignment of MRT2 that never passed thru Pandan to Cheras Selatan. Cheras Sentral is not a sentral kind of status.
I do hope MRT1 helps their business.

yeah.. luck is always with leisure mall

Viva will suffers even more once mytown and velocity opens its door

huh? there will be upcoming MRT to Viva Home? where are they gonna build it?

dont think they will be build another LRT station as Miharja LRT station is just nearby..

[Latest update]: RHB Bank(the only bank at Viva )has closed down its branch at Viva Home recently.. that means there wont be any cash deposit machines available at Viva Home starting from now on..

Following the closure of RHB Bank on last week, Hair Zone by Michael Poh also closed down its outlet at here recently.




Attached thumbnail(s)

i heard there is a high class night club here.

once bank branch are closed down. others business will follow suit to close

but are you rexona user?

yep, saw few others closed down as well following the closure of RHB..

all these happened before the opening of Mytown & Velocity.. wonder what will happen to Viva after both of the new malls opens

something wrong with their feng sui

Viva home is not doing well now?
Used to visit there, quit ok 1 ler

[QUOTE]

Change the shoplot into small office except for the ground floor

not doing well ler.. always empty like a ghost mall especially weekdays.. not much of people on weekends too

when was your visit?

This post has been edited by MonGJiHyo: May 25 2016, 10:03 PM

there used to be a very nice Chinese restaurant that was well patronized...not sure if its still there?
maybe they need to have more eateries and make it into some kind of concept mall

you mean Oriental Viva ?

yes.. it would be great if they can bring more eateries

[quote=bob,May 25 2016, 04:40 PM]
[QUOTE]

[/quote]

huh? do you think it will work?

maybe ....bcoz now many biz people looking for small office ..enough for 2-5 people only.
as long as the rental is reasonable, then should be ok lah.
viva also got many parking space ... another advantage for office

Was there two month back and I think the crowd is ok. It's a furniture mall anyway and people don't frequent it every week. Cater for special purpose

I know it's a furniture mall but it can't be that QUIET and dead like literally nobody at all in the entire walkway..

even some staff are sleeping in some of the restaurants

perhaps there were some events going on the time you visited the mall?

This post has been edited by MonGJiHyo: May 26 2016, 05:21 PM

Last visit about 1 year plus ago.
The Giant grocery also not many people?

i stay at miharja flat just opposite to viva home mall and i am a frequent visitor. i think the mall is doing quite good compare to 1shamelin or cheras sentral. There is MBO cinema but sometimes i opt to go BTS or Pavilion for movie. There are many eateries such as japanese, korean, kenny rogers roasters, subway, oldtown, kam lian kee, boston and so on. Mr DIY just opened a few months ago. I think the management good in organizing events like Popular book fair, wedding fair, sports apparel stock clearance and furniture fair. Another good thing is Vivatel tenants can shop there. Parking is not expensive. The mall is quiet during weekdays but is consider okay during weekends. I think most mall is like that except what some of you mentioned above like IOI City Mall which is quite far for me.

heard that those furniture outlet there are supplying instead of doing retailing. probably that is why they can still survive.

Giant have some crowd on weekends only, quite quiet on weekdays

They should put Giant at LG Floor in the 1st place instead of at the end of G Floor.. IMO.

I could see some people still asking the security guard of the location of Giant

Yaya, it memang like hiding in 1 secret corner. Lousy planning.

1 shamelin is really a FAILED mall.. went there for once only and never step inside again

Cheras Sentral also dying badly probably because the access road is BAD and the road in front is very JAM

My office is very near to 1Shamelin Shopping Mall. I was just having my lunch at old town white coffee. Wong Kok Char Chan Teng was fullhouse just now. TLC was closed. Most ppl come here for badminton. There is a TGV cinema here but i never watch any movie here. Good thing here parking is free.
