JULIAN Oh, 40, used to be a mall regular. The marketing consultant visited Subang Parade, a suburban mall, every week for groceries but in the past few months, the trips have been reduced to once a fortnight.

For Oh, the rationale is simple. “I have cut my spending because petrol prices, my mortgage and grocery bills have gone up significantly.”

  • Call me old fashioned but I really do prefer the high-street shops, the neighbourhood mom and pop's grocery store and I find more charm in the Pasar Malam. Oh, I forgot I don't do labels and I'm poor.

  • I don't even go to more than 20 malls for the past 10 years. Let alone 200+ malls. Everyday visit one mall it would take almost a year to complete visit all malls in Klang valley.
