JCUBE MALL CLOSURE: AN IRONICAL DEVELOPMENT

Dear readers, I read with disappointment that JCube mall will close down in August this year to make way for a 40-storey residential development, that will include commercial space on the first and second storeys. JCube mall is one of the shopping malls under Capitaland.

There are some whom I have read in the newspapers that also express disappointment and regret over JCube mall closing, all share the same reason that JCube mall hosts Singapore’s first and only Olympic-size ice skating rink.

I seldom patronise JCube mall but of the few times that I am there, I cannot help but feel amazed at the Olympic-size ice skating rink that really makes JCube mall a unique shopping mall in Singapore. Lets be frank, there are just so many seemingly identical malls all over Singapore. Only the iconic ones leave a deep impression of me.

I remember there were efforts to make some parts of Somerset appealing to youngsters in the coming years. Singapore already has a thriving and proud ecosystem in JCube via the ice skating rink that appeals to youngsters. Closing down JCube mall is hence an ironic development in the above front.

That’s it for my insights today.  I Thank you once again for your support of SG STOCKS INVESTING, your Money and Lifestyle magazine! Connect with me here to follow the daily exciting and useful posts on these two blogs, Thank You for your support!
