Cheras Sentral: Inside the Ghost Mall of Cheras...

[@kinmeng123]

Yeah my mum met one of the management when she worked there before.....she mentioned that the mgmt is not keen or enthusiastic to find new tenants or make improvements on the mall. Is kinda like a passive thing to them.... What a waste! Since they built a bridge that linked to MRT station...

[@ryan_go_where]

@@kinmeng123 that's so sad .. it has so much potential

[@anasqai]

I think should maintain the name as "Plaza Phoenix" as it's definitely a Nostalgia thing. Cheras is Multiple Rhyme. I think when changing the fence it becomes higher confidence to biz here.

[@anasqai]

Connaught definitely not the name, Silka then unknown like meant for this. A pretend psychic requested and scripted?

[@ryan_go_where]

Yeah perhaps. At least people are used to the name

[@namelessguy199]

I think the MRT connection is actually against it's success. Last time it is very hard for people to go taman cannaught due to the 8 lane highway in between. After building the MRT, it is just 1 station over to leisure mall.

[@alleymittanderson5799]

The overcrowded foreigners living the area becoming the fear factor and uncomfortable to moving around. Not to mentioned a petty crimes and crazy traffic are scary.. With the MRT, its even much convenient for residents surrounding the area to go to Kajang, Damansara or KL for shopping & window shopping.

@@alleymittanderson5799 ohhh I see the mrt became a double edge sword

[@joelchong5562]

Years ago I rmb I came here to watch a movie then had some steamboat rice, but after some time I came back and found that the restaurant I ate was gone. Is it closed down or since business cnnt continue as the mall is getting abandoned

[@ryan_go_where]

Ya many shops have closed down unfortunately. Too many malls within the vicinity.

[@somethingtobelievein]

The dead malls in the Klang Valley is absolutely insane.

[@ryan_go_where]

Tell me about it. But well it offers a place of respite if we ever wanna take a break from the crowd in Klang Valley.

[@kittybaskinginthesun285]

When I did part-time @ the cinema my manager used to joke that it was built on cemetary ground 😅😅

[@ryan_go_where]

Kinda seems like it. Whole place is just deaddd...

[@alleymittanderson5799]

This is the old mall that in my list of research study for my thesis, as i believe its dying due to "old" and no longger attractive and i was suggesting a revived to survived in 2007. The Mall, Indah Parade, Ampang Park, Ampang Point, PKNS Shah Alam hardly surved and need major interior upgrading to maintain its attractiveness & energy saving. My research subject as example of new modern concept & excellent well survived Pavillion, The Garden, Sunway, Midvalley, KLCC Mall. My 5 subject to be upgrade for competitiveness and revived The Mines, IOI Mall Puchong, Metro Kajang, Alamanda Putrajaya, Lot 10. Architecture, Interior Design and well maintained facilities playing a good major roles for anchor tenant & customer attractions.

[@yuyij6703]

Alamanda also not too many people. I remember when Subang Parade was first opened I was so excited I went there via the komuter from PJ. Wasn’t too impressed with it even then. It was the one and only time I went to Subang Parade. It was dying from the start

[@ryan_go_where]

Thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps I can cover Alamanda in my future videos. :)

[@rlsh5598]

So sad. Use to be very happening ler. Singer also go there. If you go upstairs they are selling cars at the parking😂. And the cinema still working?

[@ryan_go_where]

@@rlsh5598 cinema yes, still surviving

[@shaqisumari304]

Wow, but cleaner than klang though

[@ryan_go_where]

@@shaqisumari304 🤣🤣🤣

[@xxWidex]

Wow, even Endah Parade has more foot traffic than this.

[@ryan_go_where]

Ya, seriously no kidding. The mall was literally deserted save for the cinema.

[@unholygamingchannel4625]

nah... when it reopen during mayland time, the occupancy is even worse than before due to those strata owned lot is not occupied. kinda a similar case with jaya shopping center after reopen but this is worse. The moment Fajar move out is the downfall of this mall.....

[@ryan_go_where]

@@unholygamingchannel4625 interesting 🤔 thanks for sharing the backstory

[@siewkee6093]

The traffic😅

[@ryan_go_where]

Ya somehow doesn't flow into the mall :(

[@leongweiseng2211]

Hmmnnnmn......do not understand entirely why malls as such not willing to open up to discuss on how to revive it...maybe come to conclusions on lower rental or even consignment...wonder how much is the minimal maintenance cost for utilities...i should think as long as it cover all the maintenance and utilities cost and make it alive is worth a try...

[@ryan_go_where]

@@leongweiseng2211 ya agree

[@YIPTUCKCHEONG]

ALL SHOPPING MALL ARE DYING

Yeah whey... saddd

[@Nouserdefault]

rumors has it that there's ghosts, need to go at night only can see but no one dares

[@AverageZhouInvests]

I went in the evening already felt the chills. 😂

[@ryan_go_where]

Holy cow! Luckily I didn't know about it before I explored the mall. If not I wouldn't have dared to explore. I am curious, is that the reason why Plaza Phoenix business went south?

[@mikolee6921]

@@ryan_go_wherewhen I was a kid I rmb my mum brought me to plaza phoenix for the arcade; then later on we just stopped going but she never said why- till I was older she told me that a friend told her to not bring kids there as the place was haunted. There are also a few stories I’ve read posted on lowyatforum.

[@subarashiidesuka]

I went there at night for cinema and anime events a few times No ghosts haiya
