THE Electra House mall is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and the Association of Merchants Electra House (AMEH) wishes to revive it to its former glory.

The mall, located at Jalan Power, was the first shopping mall in Kuching built in 1965. In its glory days, people from all over Kuching and out of the city would flock to the mall to buy supplies and to hang out.
