Grabbing a quick bite of roti canai at Subang Airport before catching a Firefly flight back to Seletar Airport in SG. The meal inclusive of a cup of kopi tarik cost MYR9, or SGD2.50 given the current exchange rate. Cheaper than an equivalent meal back home, but may not be seen as cheap by the locals. I spoke at and attended the Sustainable Malls & Retail seminar in KL yesterday, organised by Fuller Academy. One of the insights at the seminar was how consumers are tightening their discretionary spending because of inflationary pressures. Thus, malls and retailers need to deliver better value for money. More careful spending can lead to an environmental bonus in terms of goods and gadgets being used longer, hence less waste that heads to the landfill. An interesting development in Malaysia and elsewhere is that because of online shopping, malls are transitioning from being shopping-focused to experience-focused in terms of offering F&B, attractions, services and community events. It means that malls can and should step on their sustainability efforts as a "shield" (running efficient operations) and "sword" (market differentiator). Indeed a good "shopping" experience for all the industry attendees. P.S. Do consider taking the Firefly flight to KL. The turboprop plane emits less CO2 than a jet airliner. Besides, Subang is a lot closer to KL city than KLIA. #sustainablemalls #costofliving

📢 Japanese retailer Takashimaya is strengthening its foothold in Vietnam with a plan to launch a shopping centre in Hanoi by 2026. ➡ As reported by Nikkei Asia, Toshin Development, a subsidiary of Takashimaya, has started construction of a mixed-use complex that includes a department store, apartments, offices, and commercial spaces. Takashimaya is expected to invest an estimated 2 billion yen ($12.9 million) in opening the department store. The project will make it the first Japanese department store chain to establish a physical presence in Hanoi. ➡ Takashimaya positions Vietnam as a promising market and will aim to further expand sales opportunities. However, there is fierce competition as South Korea's Lotte Group has launched a mall and a department store in the capital, and Japan's Aeon Mall also operates in the city. #ipavietnam #investvietnam #tradevietnam

It was announced on the 9th that Ito-Yokado, a large supermarket chain affiliated with Seven & i Holdings, will close all 14 stores in Hokkaido北海道 and the Tohoku region東北地方. The Holdings will gradually close more than 10% of its stores nationwide starting this spring. In March last year, they announced that they would reduce the number of Yokado stores by 33 by the end of February 2026. The company has announced a policy of concentrating its stores in urban areas such as the Tokyo metropolitan area. This is the first time that store closures have been revealed across a specific region. Department stores and other businesses are recovering from the slump in the retail industry due to the pandemic COVID-19. However, Ito-Yokado was in the doldrums. Seven & i Holdings, whose original company is Ito-Yokado, is also promoting structural reforms, and even if they are the original super stores, they will have a policy of liquidating store groups that are not performing well. #itoyokado #superstorechainjapan #closestores #hokkaido #tohoku #yokadostores #sevenandiholdings #itoyokadochain

Intersection of North-South Expressway at Jalan Baru of Perai, Penang This image (NSEXPRESSWAY JALAN BARU 01) shows a combined modification on exit of North-South Expressway to the 1st Penang Bridge and exit at Jalan Baru of Perai. This intersections of the roads are governed by 2 parties, the North-South Expressway authority (PLUS) and the federal government of Malaysia. It shows the overall modifications needed to achieve a continuous flow of traffic at exits and nearby intersections. On this design, we attempt to get rid of traffic lights. Without traffic lights, basically we do not need to stop at any sections of the roads. In contrast, we will see vehicles queuing up to make U-turn during the rush hours. The first-come-first-serve rule will apply for making U-turns. On the design, we just need to build one bridge, namely for the northbound exit to Perai. The bridge will straddle the double-track railway line. You may install yellow stripes to alert drivers, and speed tables to actively slow down vehicles, at the locations that are deemed appropriate. In order to increase the efficiency of the roads, we need to make changes to as many adjacent intersections as possible, and get the synergy of the continuous flow of traffic. Modification at just one or two nearby intersections are basically not efficient. In my view, this improvement may increase the flow rate of traffic by 30%, at the least. This may be obvious during the moment of heavy traffic.
