well i saw they're trying to do some change into this shopping centre (and those near to it, namely Beauty World Plaza, Beauty World Centre, Bukit Timah Plaza) but they're not really changing the shops in it aren't they? Because I feel that it's the shops that matters.
Currently it's like, they're all selling old-fashioned stuff or so...I went to Bt. Timah Plaza and saw that people still push those ntuc trolleys up to the 4th floor using the lift. And many of the shops sell clothes that are out of fashion and the way they man their stores...basically nobody goes there if they ever need something, with only a few exceptions. I seem to find that some of the more popular and successful type of shops are Barbers/Hairdressers, and LAN shops, though many other stuff like Travel Agencies occupy the rest. I was just wondering if they wanted to put some success into the few buildings, because they were popular once, but times have now moved on. Otherwise they might just go to waste.
They generally serve to the needs of those residents staying above the shops... There are some nice food to talk about both in bukit world plaza and bukit timah plaza.
