Reporting about the current Sembawang Shopping Centre situation.

Sembawang Shopping Centre, managed by Capitaland, the same company which manages Vivocity, is about to be semi-demolished. It will then be expanded and more basements will be built. And it is indeed a very major decision, as all the shops will be affected. The revamp will take place some time before Chinese New Year. The tenants were only given two months notice, and many have decided to move out of Sembawang Shopping Centre and will not come back even when the revamp has been completed. However, major shops such as Giant, Guardian, Kopitiam, Burger King, KFC, and Pizza Hut would be coming back once the revamp is completed. The shop owner of Arcticsports said, ''They plan to completed change this place. It will become a more 'high class' shopping centre, with all the high end boutiques and shops.''

I think this is bad. Sembawang Shopping Centre will become like Northpoint and Junction 8, with all the high end shops managed by big companies. Sembawang Shopping Centre is good because a lot of the shops are individual shops, with only one branch, and that is the branch at Sembawang Shopping Centre. They sell stuff you usually wouldn't find at other classier shopping centres. And the aracde at Sembawang Shopping Centre is Funland. I think Funland will move out. Then the big playa Timezone will take over as the sole arcade. Terrible.

Watch this video I made.


Merry Christmas everyone!
