Malls cool despite power rate hike

Shopping in comfort: Most malls have maintained the temperature of their air-conditioners to provide shoppers a favourable environment.

PETALING JAYA: It’s still pretty “chilly” at shopping malls despite the electricity tariff increase. Most managements are still reluctant to compromise on shopping comfort in return for lower overhead costs.

“The shopping environment should be cool and comfortable,” said HC Chan, president of Malaysia Shopping Malls Association and CEO Sunway Shopping Malls and Theme Parks.
