This gigantic shopping mall was built on the site of the once-known Kemayan City, which had become a spooky ghost town after being abandoned for 20 years.


Who would have thought it would become such a popular mall?

I often spend at least 30 minutes looking for a parking space. Usually, only level 3 has available spaces. Levels UG, G, 1, and 2 are usually full.


This mall is quite large, offering attractions such as an ice skating rink, a huge GSC cinema, numerous sports shops, Singcube karaoke, Secret Recipe, Harvey Norman, Parkson, Mr. DIY, and restaurants like vivo pizza, BarBQ Plaza, A＆W, Starbucks, Marrybrown, McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Zus Coffee, Sushi King, and more.

You go paradigm mall then you know already


Limited parking space

Its for foreigners malls at JB? As most locals already at SG.

isnt the parking expensiv?
i rmbr got one mall i park rm23... fuuuuuu

Toppen JB is nice. Paradigm more crowded.

If i go Paradigm JB or Midvalley JB, i usually do it before 12noon. After 12noon will only go Aeon Bukit indah.

But, but, but, only Paradigm Mall got hantu at night.

Latest supermarket is Jaya Grocer at Eco Galleria .. pricier but many Sg folks are flocking there

This mall is bland. And thats the nicest way i can put it. Its really really bland. I went once and im not going again. All i remember were the blandness while going up the escalator and the really narrow entrance into the basement parking driving a hilux. Overall its a bland mall. I prefer midvalley or aeon near adda heights. The only place i see my favorite donut place in jb

Will just go sutera mall instead.
Paradigm is too big for uncle

There's nothing special. All malls are the same now. Cinema, fast food, family mart, mr diy, and a supermarket. Same shit everywhere.

Prefer Toppen, Ikea and Aeon Tebrau. All nearby each others

After 12pm no parking?

Just go Level 7 and park, then take the lift down from the cinema

Jb no whre to go,so malls only main attractions

Unless you are Singaporean, no reason to come to JB for Holiday

KL has x1000 more of what JB has to offer.
Also, no need to worry about J plate and gangsters.

secret to parking at pm-jb.

many come from opposite site then do uturn past the mall then turn left to enter.

what many miss is that at uturn there is an entrance that go to level 5 thru 7. less people easy to park.

Danga City mall a.k.a Best world is the best in JB & Singapore

Prefer mid valley jb mall. Parking quite many.

L4 L5 L6 L7 also hv parking spaces....nvr had any issues with parking....

GG by covid. last time IT mall still got some hope.

Paradigm mall biggest problem is parking too many levels but only oneline up, one line down internally.

The good thing about the car park is the back there got one lane that can direct go downhill from the top to bottom, avoiding internal jam. Externally, also got lane direct to 2nd top parking (i guess so). So need to pandai pandai use that route.

But the bane is, the direct route down is not open to all floors. So if you want fast exit if the ground exit is jammed, you need counter intuitive go to higher floors to exit, if you park downstairs. The worst about this is, you basically cram the road go up with incoming traffic.

Since parking at each floor is pretty small itself, basically only one lane only, jam la dalam easily. Finding car park is easier to avoid jam inside.
