Since it is open from November last year (2008), and now is about 2 months, and if I’m not wrong, i went there for more than 8 times, most of the time is weekend, but i don’t find it is “happening” …

There are only numbers of shops are open, but by average the empty shop lot still a lots.

Only few are fully furbished and decor, one of them is our client “Sheerunique.com.my” which have a nice decor and signboard is up. One of their branch is there.

And also provide Free WiFi, but seems like not really working all the time, i only get connected during opening.
There is an optional “deConneXion” WiFi can be use, which is free, but the speed is limited.

To be honest, most of the time i went there just because want to use their WiFi to write a blog, and since they provided the power source.

But don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be sarcastic to mocking them and want to see they failed to be ICT Mall, I love gadget, and i do enjoy my shopping time in ICT mall, hope they can be “ICT Mall” all the time in future, and crowded like Lowyat in KL. May be we can assume is affected by economic crisis recently, so the result is not what we expected, but what do you think? Let’s see.

    Honestly, i don’t think they can maintain the mall as ICT Mall. Our population only around 600,000 people in kuching…compare to KL/SG, just less than 30% of their population…how to survive?

    May be soon or later the mall become pasar malam style.

    You have been there 8 times?! Wow, I have only been once and I don’t feel like going back! (shhh…) I guess I am just not an ICT guy to start off with….but the place is really quiet. Guess just not enough attraction at the moment.

    ha J = John? Anyway, i went there more than 8 times because to use their WiFi and take a rest when drop by. Ya, too many empty shop lots that’s why…but really hope they can replace current Wisma Serbakas
    - so difficult to climb up and find a parking slot. And difficult to compare price since got too many floors..i means Serbakas
