I was at a mall in Kuala Lumpur and was impressed that they had ice skating right in the middle of the mall. Thought that was pretty cool. It was really hot outside but walk into the mall and go ice skating. It was right next to a water park which was also really nice. It seemed like people were there to cool off and walk around but not really shop. Maybe that is the social gathering point for those communities? I was o key there for a week so can’t say I got acquainted with the community but it seemed kinda nice.
It is. Mall in Malaysia is more than just shopping, it’s the second place where people went for hangout and walk around and date. You can see multigeneration family went there and just window shop. Of course right now there’s a surplus of mall available and being build, because developer tend to have a mall right below their “luxurious” apartment so they can jack up the price, these mall are always either left empty or just struggling to have shopper. It’s a zero sum game that the developer are playing with, but it’s the shop owner and renter the one that’s suffering.
