Ben, when in malaysia don't hesitate to ask any random guys for direction, they will be glad to tell you.

[@benfishermin]

Yea true I try to ask whenever I really need help, I thought google maps would get me there this time but it failed 😂

[@anuardalhar6762]

So many foreign workers and PATI in KL. I doubt he can get any answer. Most foreigner cannot tell the differences.

[@Feizal_Lasim]

Yup.. why not asked 2-3 random guy's (Malaysian will ya') .. here we are Asian not Western world.. we glad to helps others..😊

Sunway Putra Mall or Yaohan (The Mall) when it was open in the 90s was the "IT" place for teenagers to spend their time with friends ie. Melepak. We used to call it the Mall. It used to have an indoor theme park like the one in Berjaya Times Square with rides and all but smaller scale. But when newer mall open, it was kinda forgotten. There's a few more shopping complexes that's the place for "melepak" at the time. Pertama Complex, Campbell Complex and if you want to rollerskate there's Semua House etc.

[@amiadam522]

Melepak = loitering

[@benfishermin]

Sounds like it was pretty cool back in the day!

[@denoiz]

@@benfishermin yup.....

[@YeniTung]

Thanks for sharing insights of ur childhood; sounds similar to what most people in Malaysia do spends weekends w family at the malls. Esp so much diverse activities from bowling, ice skating, wall climbing, movies, adventure flying, yoga, karaoke, gym etc aside from widespread of f&b, diverse range of groceries, electronics bargains, fashion and events.

[@benfishermin]

You’re welcome thanks for the comment 😁😁

[@buburbibik]

Next time to go to sunway putra mall you can take the lrt from masjid jamek station going towards sentul timur and get off at pwtc station

[@kokchoongtan2456]

Ya, you are right. Better option is LRT from KL Sentral station => Masjid Jamek station => PWTC station.

[@benfishermin]

Thanks!

[@TheSryn1]

LOL... you're fully fledged Malaysian now you've left your dance steps here... there are dance games in every arcade in the FT and Selangor- thanks for sharing your play w us... and if you want to make a living with arcades nearby- check out Genting Highlands one of these days

[@benfishermin]

Haha, too bad I didn’t see any locals playing still, maybe I need to check a more popular mall/arcade. I know they just had a pump it up tournament at Sunway Pyramid in KL, maybe more regular players there

[@JonReactsMalaysia]

Good to see you in Malaysia, I was tempted to leave Chiang Mai for KL when I went on holiday there last year, got this separate channel for my Malaysia videos, hoping to make some more there this year some time :)

[@benfishermin]

I still wonder about Chiang Mai and all of northern Thailand since I haven’t been yet. After burning season at some point soon I’m gonna check it out. Is that your favorite place in Thailand?

[@JonReactsMalaysia]

@@benfishermin yeah for me Chiang Mai is the best of Thailand. Apart from burning season :)

[@MagicalKid]

Have you been to Genting Highlands? There are huge arcades there.

[@benfishermin]

I haven’t but I’m considering to go, after watching videos I wasn’t super interested but maybe it could be worthwhile

[@AlamSementara]

should take the lrt. The station just beside the mall and is connected.

[@benfishermin]

True, learned my lesson for sure 😅

[@hishammohd7194]

Hi ben. Been watching your channel. Like to welcome you to KL. Sme rips on the malls in malaysia which is worthed visiting. 1) One Utama mall in PJ 2)Sunway Lagoon mall in sunway 3) Berjaya Mall in KL 4) Genting Highland, 5) GPO in genting 6)IOI Mall putra jaya. These are some recommended mall Around KL, PJ and genting not too far from KL. 4)

[@benfishermin]

Thanks a lot for these. I was actually at IOI mall in putrajaya yesterday which was crazy, maybe the best mall I’ve ever been to. Which one is your favorite?

[@tazzznphilly]

Cool, Benjamin. They say white men cant jump....but they CAN move those legs on Dance Revolution. Ha! Cool seeing you have fun. ~ Tazzz ~

What a good way to burn the calories😮. Ive never play it.

Yea it’s fun and keeps you fit 😁

[@gan247]

This was originally known as *The Mall* when it opened in mid 1987. It was the largest mall in Malaysia and also _the_ mall to go to at the time. The anchor tenant was Yaohan, a department store from Japan. This was an exclusive place to shop. There was an arcade cum amusement park on the top (5th) floor of the west wing. They had a pirate ship, a Matterhorn ride and bumper cars. During 1988 Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon, they hung a dragon, several hundred feet long, that circled the iconic main atrium (5-storey high, but gone now after the major renovation in 2013). Shoppers who made purchase of a certain minimum value in the mall were entitled to enter a contest to guess the length of the dragon. I don’t remember what the prize was and the actual length of the dragon. My guess is 88 metres (288ft) to coincide with the year 1988. In the mid 1990s, new malls were built in KL and that pulled the shoppers away from The Mall. 1997 was pretty much the nail in the coffin when Yaohan in Japan went bankrupt (eventually sold to AEON of Japan in 2000) and had to close all their stores in Malaysia. The Mall went into a decline and was acquired by Sunway Group which renovated it in 2013 (and removed the iconic main atrium) and reopened it as Sunway Putra Mall in 2015. It’s not the anymore. 😢

[@benfishermin]

Wow sounds like it used to be a really cool spot if you grew up in that time!

[@garyflim349]

Have u been to the long nite market in taman conaught..only on wed..lot of food there..

[@benfishermin]

Not yet, I missed it a few times now hopefully I can make it there next time I’m in KL

[@IsniRashid-jy1tb]

Try to explore the area outside Kuala Lumpur. putrajaya or klang or petaling jaya, damansara, cyberjaya. hard maybe you can see more opportunities better. or to Johor or melaka penang kelantang terengganu pahang sabah serawak as well❤

[@benfishermin]

I spent the whole day and night in putrajaya yesterday, such a nice place, more relaxed than KL I really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to checking out Johor Bahru soon too

[@IsniRashid-jy1tb]

@@benfishermin yes good, johor is also the focus of Singaporeans because the currency exchange is better and goods are cheaper in malaysia 1 bottle of coca cola in singapore sg 1 but in johor RM 1. malaysia is cheaper. and many Singaporeans live in Johor Bahru cheaper and Malaysian workers commute to work in Singapore because the salary is higher.

[@IsniRashid-jy1tb]

@@benfishermin but before to JB why dont look around melaka ..

[@mohammadhasniibrahim9752]

Actually you have to cross the road from the Bank Negara station. and walk from there via the River of Life route.

[@benfishermin]

Thanks 🙏🙏

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Sunway Putra Mall used to be one of my favorites mall due to ease of location from the apartment I used to live, two lrt stations away.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

You should have taken the lrt line and stop at the Putra station, and if you stop at the next station which is Titiwangsa, you can walk to the Lake Titiwangsa garden.

[@benfishermin]

It sounds like it used to be a great mall too in the past everyone says, and went downhill

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@benfishermin The Sunway Putramall was previously known as The Mall. It went through a major renovation last decade and it's still a good mall. 😁

[@AbiARDH.Official]

You should go to Berjaya Time Square, they got indoor theme park

[@benfishermin]

I actually went there looking for this game because it said online they have Dance Dance Revolution but I didn’t find it. I gotta go and try the theme park though thanks!

[@NabilNakim]

back in the mid 90s i used to work in a thai restaurant inside the mall. Back then, the top floor was the best, they even had a roller coaster and a Zamperla - the huge swing ship, During break hours me and my manager would duel on arcade games. Btw you can easily go to the mall by taking LRT, the station is just next to the building

[@benfishermin]

Damn it sounds like this place used to be a hotspot and it went downhill! I’m glad they had this game I wanted at least. True from now on I’ll be using LRT

[@the7asmann]

man you're good 👍

[@benfishermin]

Haha thank you

[@ccw2472]

You could try passing your free time watching movies in KL. The movie ticket price in KL is a lot cheaper in compared with other Asian cities like HK, Japan or Korea etc.

[@benfishermin]

I still haven’t watched a movie in KL yet but I do check the listings sometimes, waiting for something I really want to see!

[@MouTik]

Your arcade adventure got you a subscription! 🙌

Awesome thanks 😁😁

Bro I know you can Break Dance with ease 🤣🤣💯

[@MojoZ20]

Sunway Putra Mall used to be a prime mall...wayyyyy back in late '80s until mid '90s. Refitted physically & reoriented with a bunch of lowkey stores since. Not in the best location in the city tho.

[@benfishermin]

Ah wow, so it went downhill then, this happened to a TON of malls in the US too, malls that used to be super lively especially on the weekends, big hangout spots, and now a lot of those are very weak

[@MojoZ20]

@@benfishermin yeah im sure amazon pretty much wiped out jc penneys, dillards, macys, and other regional big stores (which tend to be a huge chunk of any decent malls in usa)...just changing with time i guess ✌️

Arcade during 90's. Don't forget LAN party too

[@benfishermin]

Oh yes LAN centers were big too and also mostly died in my neighborhood where I grew up. We had one in the mall which was a really good time in my life!

[@Lin-ur6nw]

What is LAN party?

[@MrCyberizal]

you shouldnt take train komuter. because train komuter is a long route system on railway track means each train takes longer time to restart each journey, so u should take lrt instead, it is connected to sunway putra mall on side entry.

[@benfishermin]

Ah yea thanks lesson learned, I’ll never take that train again lol

[@MrCyberizal]

​@@benfishermin but there are many routes that aren't available for lrt mrt where it does covered by ktm komuter train. U shall try take one long route back and forward and u can see some unusual view of greater klang valley. The train can be extend towards negeri sembilan as well. I bet u gonna love watching and filming them and we gonna love watching bcoz we too busy with work and daily life and couldn't even visiting them.. Could be a Lot of change in recent years
