A day in Setia Mall

Went to Setia Mall last Saturday, I was disappointed by the lack of preparation of the mall. If it weren't due to the Parkson 5x Bonuslink and its location (close to my side of the town), I wouldn't be there.

The map on the newspaper advertisement is amazingly simple, without road sign and landmarks.

There weren't a single sign board from highway/main road etc. leading to Setia Mall.
There weren't even a road sign around the mall.

Lots of illegal parking around the peripheral access road. (that's how we identified the entrance...)

The carpark floor was not epoxy coated, very dusty and still have the concrete cement smell.
Signage in the carpark was poor, lack of floor directories.

The glass panels were not cleaned, there were still some construction smudges all over the place.
The wood handles were not polished.

The mall was not properly lit, the air conditioning broken down, dusty floor, some shops still had those chemical smell of new renovation -- so strong it made me tear. Most shops had no internet line, phone line, as a result, they couldn't take credit card.

Parkson was one of the better prepared shop in the mall, but the brands in Parkson wasn't as complete as other Parkson in town. I visited the Ladies department, the clothing taste and brand location was disorganised -- you don't know if they are targeting youngsters, young adults, or mature adults.

I have to say Padini concept store has better fashion jewelleries than Parkson.

I didn't get to visit Uniqlo though, from the outside, they look well organised and prepared to do business in this new location.

I was glad that Setia Mall management decided to give out free parking for that day due to the dysfunctional air conditioning.
