KD area mall mostly struggling for traffic.

KD area mall mostly struggling for traffic.

they tried to compete with 1U and starlings but well...

don don donki also the fad gone already..if u go to sunway pyramid branch also like meh...

starling mall is right in the middle of offices and shoplots, many executives go there yamcha talk business, it's also alot smaller than Gardens tropicana, making navigating there easier.

Although Garden is situated in a very good area (got MRT, got sunway GIZA, Nexus, dataran sunway shoplots) it's like on the other side of the road, people rarely walk over to Gardens if they can get all the amenities around Giza shoplot area, also that road is always jam as hell.

It's not fad or anything but rather the pricing

In singapore Don Don doki keep opening new stores

It's cheap in SG, In certain malls b40 like me go there settle lunch ....

In msia even t20 will think twice or thrice to eat at Don Don donki

another dead mall... tropicana mall v2? IOI kena scammed?

IOI Properties said the acquisition of the freehold land in Pantai Kok, Langkawi at RM90.1 million is intended for a proposed hotel development

Forced sale ke? Tropicana no money till need to selll it's HQ mall... 2nd mall attempt failure after 3 Damansara..

in the 70s-80s, it was just a rectangle of grassland 

yup. cant remember much. but I know the old road to penchala/taman tun was like kampung road.

same thing like sunway lah. who expect those old abandoned mining mines can turned into mega mall like what we now in 2024?

i used to use that road quite often to go to kepong
it was very nice then
winding road through forest, then got that big granite or marble mine there
can see orang asli by roadside
