Ng Suee Lim straight up said it himself

Sunway also said its Selangor government directive, then removed the posting probably due to pressure

Now NSL come out say not he do?

Want ban have more balls la next time

Original post from Sunway Square Mall

New edited version

you believe theres no directive, like that I got house to sell you la

Nobody even disagreeing with you man

Question is why government is intervening

People want boycott mall, boycott la. Government mall issit

Its too troublesome to be embroiled in politics when the politicians themselves seem to be unsure on the laws and keep uturn on their words. So better play it safe for now and do something with the least resistance instead of keep uturn here and there making everyone confused.

Money talks, yes. I'm sure Sunway already did their market research and saw that making it pet friendly is still lucrative. The crowds on opening week is testament to this. Also, the gang terpaling Muslim are actually a minority and most Muslim don't really mind going to that mall, also as evidenced by the malay crowd after mall opened. Most ppl who bising are those from out of state who don't even come Selangor before.

Political pressure. And its not an assumption because I know what happened behind closed doors. 

Money talks, and money talked way before this circus happened. But as you know, some people care more to live in poverty as long as their place in heaven is guaranteed, and often these are the loudest voices despite not being the most contributing.

As an answer to your second question, why not? There are actually more pet friendly malls coming up and planned in the klang valley but this recent stunt by Selangor state exco may make them rethink their strategy.

This is a very good point. The rules should be clear to avoid confusion and endless debate.

Viral + complaints/threat of boycott from puak terpaling suci

GE nearing mang, mesti tunjuk gomen buat kirija

Go for middle ground, introduce pet friendly zones in malls/parks

The whole mall doesn't have to be pet friendly

But idk mang, got some Malaysian pawrents really irresponsible af, let their pets pee/shit everywhere

This mall had the worst luck of being the trigger point

It was never an issue before

Case in point, timah beer, pork sold in pasar malam, muslim choice label, alcohol in gov post events

Which other same state pet friendly malls have indoor pet friendly policies? My understanding is that Sunway Square Mall is the first in Malaysia to do so.....so they are the first to get ban hammered. And now NSL seems to be shirking all responsibility saying it wasn't a ban and he was misquoted. (lol typical)
Then you should ask the question back to yourself, why other pet friendly malls can be so, money or political? Surely if its such a bad business decision, these malls should not exist?

Some restaurants there do allows dogs but only the outdoor patio portion facing the park.

There are some small malls that are pet friendlyand allow dogs inside but they are small n not well known like the mall inside megah rise at taman mayang.  Jayaone mall also has a alfresco bar section where the starbucks is located that has been dog friendly for years.

Way back years ago ikano mall in early 2000s had pet friendly policy where dogs were allowed to enter but had to go thru a special lift.

Don't think they are the first but certainly the biggest and highest  profile one and that's why it attracts the wrong attention

Its marketed as such. DPC is an open mall so i guess they don't regard it as an indoor pet friendly mall.
