With so many shopping malls popping up all over Singapore, it’s a wonder how some of them can still get really crowded after work hours and over the weekends. But with the growing population of malls also comes with it a set of issues that are getting many Singaporeans all frustrated about. Have a look at my reasons and see if they coincide with yours.
Too damn crowded
Too many people are crowding up the malls everywhere! All the pushing and shoving doesn’t sit too well with me. How would you like it if I shoved my bag in your ribs while you were checking out a nice dress?
Repetitions. Repetitions everywhere.
Because there are so many malls all over, the same stores are in almost every single one of them. Cotton On is everywhere, and so is Uniqlo. What’s new seriously?
No parking
Obviously because everyone who has a car will want to drive to the mall and clog up the entire system.
No private space
You can’t even have a proper meal at the food court without someone staring you down waiting for you to vacate your seat.
Where did that plot of land go?
Remember that huge grass patch in front of the MRT station you used to play catching at? It’s now a brand new mall! Surprise!
The layout is so confusing!
Every mall wants to be slightly different from the other so what do they do? Create layouts that are so confusing, no one can ever find their way to the basement level without stopping every 2 minutes to check the directory.
What’s so great about Orchard Road now?
Orchard Road used to be THE place to go to for shopping and good food and fun. Nowadays, you can literally do it anywhere.
Which is which?
All those names! Central and Central Mall? Which is located where? Why must the names sound so similar?
Convenience at the price of over saturation
Malls now are almost like an infestation, sprouting up everywhere and anywhere just to fit in with proximities to offices, residences and the like. With that, everything else loses its meaning and value.
Unneeded competition
Everyone is out to beat everyone at his or her game. The more competition there is, the more copy and paste malls we will likely to see in the near future.
