EMPIRE SHOPPING GALLERY AND EMPIRE HOTEL OPERATIONS HALTED TEMPORARILY

In view of the unfortunate incident that occurred at Empire Shopping Gallery early this morning, the management of both properties have taken the decision to halt all operations until further notice. Firstly, allow me to record my appreciation to all of you, valued tenants, for your understanding and patience over this unfortunate incident. It has undoubtedly been a trying experience for all of us.

Following our discussion with Bomba and the Royal Malaysian Police, I would like to provide an update on the current situation at Empire Shopping Gallery.

  • The authorities, especially Bomba and the Royal Malaysian Police are still investigating the cause of the blast. They have indicated that a report could be expected sometime tomorrow.
  • In view of this, the premises will still be cordoned off. Our contractors have started remedial work we hope to get the essential supplies connected as soon as possible.
  • We understand your concerns on your fixtures, fittings and other belongings and assure you that we have positioned tight security around the premises to safeguard the property.
  • As investigations are on-going, we have no way to ascertain at this point the severity of the damage inside. Safety remains are of highest priority and we request for your patience in accessing your individual premises.
  • You can get updates or request for information via the various channels we have implemented, namely through the website (www.esg.com.my), (Empire SHGallery.com). Alternatively, you can call Retail Network Sdn Bhd at 03-7728 4773.

Again, we thank you for your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back at our beloved Empire Shopping Gallery in the very near future.

Best Regards,
May Woo
