Dear readers,
At 50 years old, Queensway Shopping Centre is a little bit shabby, but even on weekdays it is still bustling with shoppers.
Over the years, the strata-titled mall has stood the test of time by maintaining its niche as a sports retail hub, while also nurturing a new reputation as a spot for secondhand and thrift stores.
Things are starkly different at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre where quiet corridors and empty storefronts tell of a fading glory.
All across Singapore, strata-titled malls are facing such mixed fortunes.
Some argue that more should be done to save these malls, but whose job should it be, and what will it take?
Dive into this week's Big Read to find out. Yours faithfully, Yasmine Yahya
