Bold temple-within-a-mall move pays off for Mid Valley


Good move: the Sri Maha Sakthi Mohambigai Amman Temple standing tall at the Mid Valley Megamall.Inset: Sen

PETALING JAYA: Nestled in the centre of the sprawling Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur is an unexpected piece of serenity among a madness of commercial activities – the Sri Maha Sakthi Mohambigai Amman Temple.

The story of which came first – the temple or the mall – is a beloved part of the city’s story, one that has spurred urban legends of how the temple had ‘protected’ the mall during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
