Just recently, Facebook page Johor 柔佛 posted a telling insight into one of the hottest shopping malls in the city:
KSL City mall.
Though unfortunately, it doesn’t exactly look like a hot tourist destination. Not anymore.
Formerly a bustling location fraught with avid shoppers of all ages, it’s now inseparable from that one ghost town in Silent Hill.
Though the facilities remain as posh as ever, the lack of human personnel is more than evident.
Several shops were also spotted with their shutters down.
Indeed, the sight has led even the Facebook page to post the following cryptic caption:
“Now that there are no Singaporean customers, I wonder when things can get back to normal.”
You can view the photos down below:
To date, the post has garnered over 2.7K shares, as well as 772 likes & reactions.
Netizens, however, have not been too sympathetic.
In fact, some were positively “laughing” at the mall’s demise.
“Haha,” one commented. “Who asked you to brush off local customers and jack up the prices? The salary’s so slow, who can you blame?”
Indeed, many reiterated that the mall should have thought of local customers as well.
“We’ve been relying too much on foreign customers,” another Netizen commented. “If we actually took care of our local customers, it shouldn’t have turned out like this.”
Possible Travel Rearrangements?
Those dark days may, however, pass over soon.
In a recent report, it was revealed that discussions with Singapore on a border reopening could occur as soon as the relevant senior ministers in Malaysia give the go-ahead.
A proposal will be presented to the senior ministers, and an acceptance could mean the commencement of talks with Singapore.
Also, Malaysia has allegedly not been deterred by Singapore’s recent spate in cases.
Apparently, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Hasni Mohammad does not see it as an obstacle.
He expressed that he had also taken Singapore’s practice, which constitutes giving each family self-test kits, into consideration.
Over on this side, however, Malaysia’s own series of cases may be a tough wall to overcome.
Even with the lion city’s recent “streak”, it still pales in comparison to that of Malaysia’s, which was averaging 20,000 daily cases in end August.
But on a positive note, it was announced on 4 October 2021 that Malaysia had recorded less than 10,000 cases for the second day running.
