Serdang ppl here, we seldom come to this mall one of the reason is due to the traffic from South City to The Mines is quite terrible... a better choice for us is just abit further away from here is IOI City Mall... anyhow, sometimes if look for some IT and electronic stuff, The Mines Level 4 is a good choice too.... but only limited to OFF-PEAK traffic time~
Hi Chester great informative video as always. Maybe can consider Amcorp Mall for the next video? Another mall that's relatively empty compared to its heyday.
used to live in serdang, this mall was my go to childhood location to lepak with friends. been awhile, sad to see the mines resort is dead, along with most malls these days
First time visited this mall back in like 2017 due to a robotic competition at MIECC (The convention centre), I still somewhat remember there was a grocery store near the "BookXcess" Also based on a few times I visited the other side of the mall (The bonus clip section), sometimes they held some booth like selling merchandise/books etc
I really hope The Mines will be able to revive itself, such a wonderful memories here since i am just living nearby for 24yrs. Its losing badly to IOI Putrajaya but still OK comparing to Emirin Mall next to my home 🙁
I am working quite nearby to this mall. It’s my quiet getaway during lunch because its so peaceful here. You can order your fave McD and kfc meals fast, without having to que or putting up with clueless amoi hogging the touch screen order lol
In my opinion I think the mall management should really consider building a pedestrian bridge between the Serdang KTM and the mall. It helps to boost foot traffic.
Visited this mall few times when was a student here, especially when there is Big Bad Wolf. But when IOI opened, I prefers there as it is only 10 mins ride from my hostel.
Oh yeah, I forgot about this mall. Been there so many years ago.. Anyways good of you for these videos. You may consider the malls in Ampang / Pandan area. Many with 50% or less occupancy.
Been here for big bad wolf sale like ten years ago. Ample parking space due to a convention center. Theres lots of food options and gym. Problem is: 1) confusing road to the mall, I cant get into the right road to the mall even with gps bcoz the high way split into 3 just after a bent 2) despite all these years, public transport is technically still as bad since thrs no lrt station near it 3) this shld be your Magnus opus to date but it is marred with the voiceover, reducing the whole surrealism that the viewers otherwise would have.
This mall is limited by the traffic congestion fr KL and Sri Kembangan.Most of time the traffic is jammed due to bad traffic flow planning.When new,it was attractive due to the attractions of a theme park(outdoor) especially during festivals seasons and the exhibition mall(Mines Exhibition Hall) next to it.After the closure of the park and less exhibitions business,the shopping mall suffer drop in traffic.Moreover,people in Sri Kembangan would rather go to the modern IOI City Mall and fr Balakong they would go to Aeon Mall in Cheras.
Still waiting for your strand review... By the way can you review Amcorp mall and Main Place mall in Usj 21? In the future, maybe to mix it up a little, you can also review smaller malls that are quite successful, not the Sunway pyramids, 1U, KLCC, MV or TRX
almost impossible to get parking when you go on the weekend years ago. but right now not anymore. they close theme park, food court, bowling, kareoke and make it boring
I rmb I went to mines wonderland too but since mines wonderland has been taken down, the mall vibrant slowly fades. Even not much ppl for the boat ride...
I only came to The Mines when there are anime event. That means I only went there once a year. I also went there back then during the Big Bad Wolf sale. That's really a long time ago.
@chestercheng.realestate not surprising since it doesn't feel claustrophobic than nearby malls, particularly Alamanda. Parking is confusing and expensive but once you learn the tricks, it's fine. Best go when people are broke as the mall is less packed
Been there long times ago,as i remember all the access to mall is blocked by multiple overlay highway and only those traffic direction come from bukit jalil is easier to entre the mall while other direction and surounding neightbour need take very far detour to cross the highway before reach mall entry.Not sure if this still the case there.
The singapore company asking too high rent make alot of retailers say bye to them they dont understand the culture and rental rate for msia market. They're using based on singapore style management. Almost all of their malls arent doing well
Apologies for that. I have lowered the background music a lot, during the editing phase, sounds ok. No worries other videos are raw and live only this video my microphone died on me
I remember the Big Bad Wolf book sales used to hold it sales there 24*7days at the Mines Convention halls. We go there for the water taxi boat ride where the water lock gate controls the water level up or down and go for the 30 minutes scenic lake rides. Now we seldom go there but I remember feeding the big fishes swimming around there with bread crumbs thrown around the mall water channel. Fishing is prohibited in that big lake area and the fishes have grown mighty big there. I might go back there if there could organized more family outings and maybe some fishing competition events yearly for fishing enthusiasts since there are so many big fishes swimming around the lake. We don't have to catch the fishes to bring home but release it back into the Lake. Maybe offer some prizes for the biggest different fishes caught there, etc. How about a small speed boat race along the channel to see who is the fastest competitor to finish the race? Just like the crazy hot wheels small car events in some shopping malls. I am sure any family water events will bring the crowd back to the mall. The wonderful unique water designed mall where the channel leads into it offering beautiful scenic spots to eat or spend your leisure quiet times there. That was the last visit since the books sales event have move elsewhere like you said we stayed in PJ and no reason to back there.
I recently (2 years ago) moved to Seri Kembangan, just 5 mins away from The Mines. I visit The Mines every week for grocery shopping (at Lotus) and fast food dining (McD, Zus, Starbucks etc). I love this Mall as a neighbourhood mall, it has a charming vibe (probably due to the canal) and not too crowded. Usually the foot traffic on weekend is more, much more than what you experienced in the video (maybe because it's not dinner time yet), usually a lot of families with kids. I think there's not much reason for people to travel to this mall, but I think the neighbourhood here appreciate this mall and the Mall will serve its neighbourhood quite well. Also noticed the management of this mall is doing a lot of activities to boost the traffic, keep it up!
Mall ini Bina Salah Tempat. Seri Kembangan@Serdang ataupun Balakong itu Tempat LAN-CHOON-Doi Lepak. All Ah Beng Ah Lien Suka Lepak sana. Lebih2 orang cina Serdang 100% Low Class punya! Bukak mulut saja = DLLM ,Mati lah mana ada orang Kaya berani masuk sana shopping,Nanti anak2 mereka pandai Cakap DLMCH😂
I remember meeting my pen pal a girl at this complex. In 1994. Also I dated my present wife in 1998, watching movie here. Now I am 58 . Time flies.
Used to hang out at this mall when I was in UPM back in 1999-2002.. watching movies late night at TGV. Good old memories.
You bring back those malls that almost faded in existance to our memories ...

Sir..

My childhood mall... Back then with Xtra supermarket and Ice skating circling around the top floor. Nostalgic 😔

Good old times. But definitely not dead yet, but there are surely on that trajectory

if i remember correctly, last time MATTA used to have their Matta fair at Mines2.
Visited this mall few times when was a student here, especially when there is Big Bad Wolf. But when IOI opened, I prefers there as it is only 10 mins ride from my hostel.
you all forgot there was even a zoo / themepark behind it...there were white tigers before
Oh yeah, I forgot about this mall. Been there so many years ago.. Anyways good of you for these videos. You may consider the malls in Ampang / Pandan area. Many with 50% or less occupancy.
Will look in to those malls
Ampang Point, Citta Mall
Love you5 titles. Don’t forget to cover the evolve mall in ara damansara

Good old days 🙂 since 2009 ❤

No longer visit this mall as the theme park is dying (been there a few years ago and it was almost nothing to play).
I used to love this mall but my children don't like it at all

Still waiting for your strand review... By the way can you review Amcorp mall and Main Place mall in Usj 21?
In the future, maybe to mix it up a little, you can also review smaller malls that are quite successful, not the Sunway pyramids, 1U, KLCC, MV or TRX
The traffic is so bad heading to this mall
almost impossible to get parking when you go on the weekend years ago. but right now not anymore. they close theme park, food court, bowling, kareoke and make it boring
Bowling & foodcourt closing? OMG.. I have no good reason to go there anymore 😢 they are losing to IOI Putrajaya so bad!.
So much have changed
I rmb I went to mines wonderland too but since mines wonderland has been taken down, the mall vibrant slowly fades. Even not much ppl for the boat ride...
I only came to The Mines when there are anime event. That means I only went there once a year. I also went there back then during the Big Bad Wolf sale. That's really a long time ago.
Me either the hall quite big.
used to have an arcade last time. where u play spend time playing games. now think no more
IOI City Mall, Alamanda and Dpulze for me
IOI City Mall is the current magnet. Crazy packed
@chestercheng.realestate not surprising since it doesn't feel claustrophobic than nearby malls, particularly Alamanda. Parking is confusing and expensive but once you learn the tricks, it's fine. Best go when people are broke as the mall is less packed
Assume Carl's Jr Burger are gone?? Very nice burger.
Please review 1shamelin
Not sure, but does seems mall that the lots are individually own, are harder to manage.
Been there long times ago,as i remember all the access to mall is blocked by multiple overlay highway and only those traffic direction come from bukit jalil is easier to entre the mall while other direction and surounding neightbour need take very far detour to cross the highway before reach mall entry.Not sure if this still the case there.
The singapore company asking too high rent make alot of retailers say bye to them they dont understand the culture and rental rate for msia market.
They're using based on singapore style management. Almost all of their malls arent doing well
there also used to have Speedy Video, where i used to buy DVD and VCD's
I think Speedy Video retail chain close many outlets
people used to go here for cinema and Giant, but now Giant already gone
Background music is a little too loud and distracting. Would rather hear what you have to say.
Apologies for that. I have lowered the background music a lot, during the editing phase, sounds ok. No worries other videos are raw and live only this video my microphone died on me
Sir Pls make a thorough video about the curve
Will check the place
do a video on ioi citymall, 1 Utama and Sunway Pyramid soon
Those malls are successful malls.. Maybe in my next series

Where they move big bad wolf to? I though they no longer have it since mco.
@@l_ifeefi_l1998 this year is at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre
No reason to come here anymore. The last time was many many years ago. Good luck.
