History
The Mall was built at a cost of RM189 million and its launch was marked by a light show. The shopping centre was launched by Mahathir bin Mohamad, who personally buried a time capsule that will be unearthed after a century, in 2087. The capsule contains a message written by Mahathir and is addressed to the citizens of the future.
The Legend Hotel was built as extension to The Mall on 1993 and completed in 1996. In 1996, Yaohan departmental store was changed into Aktif Lifestyle and in 2004 the store was bought over by Parkson Grand. At the ground floor there is a food court named Medan Hang Tuah.
