In Singapore, it is very rare to see a shopping mall that is literally empty from human traffic. Even if people do not go malls to actually shop anymore, there will still be crowd of people queuing up for dining in a restaurant or a fast food joint. But Big Box in Jurong East is out to prove everyone wrong, that there is actually a mall in Singapore where ghost town is an apt description.
And due to an almost non-existant footfall at the mall, the shops there are obviously not doing too great, and the mall itself was recently put up for sale. It is not known why the crowds are not coming to the mall anymore, and how it manages to do the impossible in Singapore, by being an actual ghost town in a country that has barely space to accomodate its residents without having a sardine crush at anytime, anywhere.
One thing is for certain, the ghost town will be gobbled up and redeveloped into other uses pretty soon in land scarce Singapore.
