They were both closed in the early 1990s. At that time cineplex still did not exist, and there were still crowds at cinema at popular places back then. But then suddenly the cinemas closed down. What were the reason? Some said got fire, some said got ghost, what was the real story actually?

bts no more cinema too.

The cinemas closed down before vcd appeared in the market. vcd should be around 1997 onward, not cheap at the beginning either, more expensive than a few tickets.

Piracy at its best … kill alot cinemas back then

place look like shit u dun close down bring shame to the rest of the golden triangle area.

there was another cinema there

why need to go cinema when can just go chap fan stall, eat chap fan and order countless 'shuet cha'and binge watching stephen chow movies at food court.

Wah... this must be old timer > 50 yrs old.

Its hard to survive for smaller cinemas like President Cinema and Sg Wang Cinema during that time .. Malaysia is shifting towards huge corporations like Tanjong (TGV) and Golden Harvest (GSC) entering the scene and introducing multiplex format

Even not so small Cathay is gobbled up due to the two behemoth.
Other smaller independent cinemas is either shutdown or being acquired by the big two.
