A Particle of Boredom

(I was there behind VVIP (as i was invited as VIP……………… hehehe) tried to shoot few peektures with PDA coz i left my DSLR in my car)

MESRA MALL shopping complex on  Friday opened its doors to shoppers in the Kerteh which was dubbed at Petroleum Hub in Peninsular Malaysia. The shopping center which was built on a sprawling 30 acres site, “Mesra Mall” promises to be a new landmark for shoppers and tourists coming to Terengganu. With Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd managing the operations, the complex is developed by KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd through its two subsidiaries — Metro Kemasik Sdn Bhd and KLCC Projek Sdn Bhd.

For me who has the chance to see the early days of the development during Ground Breaking Ceremony till the Opening Ceremony, this is quite historical project which have involved great determination from the developer and KLCC parent company. ie PETRONAS. This Mesra Mall will serve the people around here and particularly PETRONAS Staff who currently spending their weekend in Kuantan. Mesra Mall floor area is 310,151 sq.ft and serves the people with its One-Stop Leasure, Shopping, Recreational concept.

The shop lot is almost full and its comprises of 40 retail outlets, 12 unit food stalls (in one food-court, 2 restaurant/cafe, 2 banks, and 2 push-cart stalls. The main or anchor tenant is Giant (Hypermarket) and Giant (Supermarket) but unfortunately during Opening Ceremony, its yet to be opened to public.

There are also Futsal Court, Cinema, Bowling Alley, Squash Court to be opened within a month ( as per KLCC CEO welcoming speech) and Mesra Mall also was built with approx. 800 pax Multi-Purpose hall. CEO of KLCC also added that this complex would serve as a catalyst for commercial development in Kemaman district and in Terengganu, adding that it had provided jobs for about 500 locals. 

Eventhough with the recent development brought by PETRONAS in Kerteh, it is still Kerteh as we always know and by comparing with MIri which is also Petroleum Hub in Sarawak, then we realise that Kerteh is still far behind as Miri was declares as a CITY 2 or 3 years ago. But nevertherless MESRA MALL quite a blessing to PETRONAS Staff especially who has been transfered from KLCC which well known for it’s ‘Canggih-Manggih’ Suria KLCC.

But sincerely for me … nothing change except may be I have the chance to have a RM 8.00 burger as my lunch there at Burger King or my quite little time with my lady in future to be opened Mini Cinema. 

Note — BTW, TQ KLCC and PETRONAS for this….
