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.

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?

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