The Mall (Kuala Lumpur)
The Mall is a shopping mall located along Jalan Putra in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is situated across the street from the Putra World Trade Centre and the Pan Pacific Hotel. The complex was built by Metroplex Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (MHSB) and opened on 1987 by Mahathir bin Mohamad, the Prime Minister. At the time The Mall was the largest shopping centre in Malaysia and was built to attract more shoppers from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.
The Mall has many specialised outlets with a variety of items such as souvenirs, clothing and antiques.
The Sunway Group had acquired the mall in March 2011 and had since took over the operations of the complex effective 1 July 2011. The complex was renamed as Sunway Putra Mall.
The shopping mall will be closed on 1 May 2013 for refurbishment and it is scheduled to be complete by January 2015.

Famous quotes containing the word mall:
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
