That competitive business called hypermarkets. Another one sold and leaving Asia.
I love to shop in Hero Market. Somehow it has the choices I need and the prices I could accept. AEON supermarket is also okay but not my favourite. I have not been to any Giant hypermarket for many months. When it comes to Tesco, I will always have a soft spot because I shopped…

The 2 in 1 solution to too many malls and too expensive homes?
As they say, there’s just too many malls? Some say online shopping will kill most of these malls. I disagree and my recent article here: Online shopping will not kill malls. Better malls will kill the uncompetitive ones Now, before we talk about the potential solution, here’s another problem. Many people say homes are too…

1,200,000 sq ft of retail floor mall in Penang. Largest. Let’s visit (near future).
I just wrote about malls recently. Online will not kill malls So, do you shop online weekly? If you are a Penangite, where do you currently shop? My favourite mall when I was still based in Penang is Queensbay Mall. The reason I love it? It’s near to where I live and it has so…

Online shopping will NOT kill malls. Better malls will kill uncompetitive malls.
I disagree that more malls meant all malls will suffer. Sorry yeah, demand and supply does not work fairly. 10 malls and 10 million visitors meant every mall will get 1 million visitors on average. 20 malls does not mean all the malls will now get 500,000 visitors. In fact, the better malls will slowly…

Low profit margin and assets valued at multiple billions?
Sometimes, we look at the the price of a certain product during a sale and we know that it’s IMPOSSIBLE that the product could be priced so low. Surely the seller needs profit? Well, it may be sold at a loss and this is actually a real marketing strategy adopted by many, especially when competition…

Decathlon: Great selection, good prices and fun for kids
As a guy, I am in the minority when it comes to shopping. I meant I love to shop! I am not the kind that goes to a mall, buys what I need and leave. I am definitely not a guy with two pairs of leather shoes; one black and one loafer for example. I…

Parkson Suria KLCC ‘moving out sale’ is in progress.
After SPM, my first ‘part-time’ job was in Parkson in Ipoh Parade. Ms. S was my floor supervisor and Mr. L was my floor executive. Both were nice people and I enjoyed the three months that I was there until I started my Form 6. Ms. S even asked me to work part-time after I…

The tallest tower in Malaysia definitely needs to have a mall too.
Do you know which is the tallest tower in Malaysia today? Nope, the tallest tower is NOT Petronas Twin Towers. That remained the tallest twin tower in the world and Malaysia too. The new tallest tower in Malaysia will be PNB’s Merdeka 118. Thus far there has not been too much news about the tower…

We MUST change our usual ways. New Malaysia, right?
It’s always very unfortunate when accidents happen and it could have been prevented. Malaysia has had many of these happening within 2018 and I think the authorities have to serious in enforcing all necessary rules and regulations. Workplace accidents usually happen when proper safety management is not enforced either because the supervisors are not serious…

Too many shopping malls and retail scene are NOT the same
I think if we ask just about anyone on the street if there are way too many malls here in Greater Kuala Lumpur, the answer will have to be a Yes. By the way, Penangites may say the same thing. They are just two prominent malls there, the rest are trying their best to get…
