Aha! This is the shopping mall that made Batu Pahat famous! It was up in Malaysian newspaper as well as Singapore newspapers.

If you want to read about the controversy, just either do a yahoo or google “Orang Orang Mall”, you can find lots of blogs, etc talking about it.

If you are lucky, you can also download the Parliament session discussions about it! (and be shocked at the corruption they discussed not only about this mall, and the other two malls before this post too! eg: Did you know that the carpark at Carrefour is suppose to be a water retention area? Also, how a big mall can be built just few metres away from Jalan Kluang the main road to BP)

Orang Orang Mall

Curious people, this is how it looks like. Simple structure, wonder what will happen to it? To be torn down soon?

To BP folks who have left BP long ago, this is where the Coronation School was. Behind Shell and Caltex Jalan Rahmat.
They pull down the historic school in Batu Pahat, and build this?!?! Maybe this should be pulled down and the old school rebuilt to what it was originally and used a tourist office instead.

Not sure if you can call it a mall, but its the next big thing in Batu Pahat after The Summit.
It was opened in September 2006, and mum said, ‘half the town’ was inside there.

Here’s some pictures of it. It was taken few weeks ago, as you have read from the news, it’s been pouring non stop, the skies have been dark like this.

Shopping Malls in Batu Pahat – The Summit

Long long ago, (just before 1997 ? somebody correct me if I am wrong) there was no shopping malls in Batu Pahat, there was only Fajar and The Store.

Then Summit Parade came along, which subsequently changed its name to The Summit.

Summit

This 6 storey mall is where you get The Store as the anchor tenant. It also has many other little shops. There are more than 300 specialty shops as well. (That’s according to their website at : http://www.thesummit.com.my/bp/ )

It’s also where BP’s first Cineplex is. Also the first air conditioned food court too. Well, if you want fast food in BP, you can get McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC here. (who needs them when people go back to BP to have real food. right?)

The location: 88 Jalan Bakau Condong, 83000 Batu Pahat.
