[edit] Trivia
It is said that the mall has excellent feng shui giving that the atrium roof is shaped like a bagua.
There is also an existing Hindu temple, the Sri Devi Shakti temple, incorporated into the mall on the southeast side, in exchange for the right for the developer to build in the airspace above the temple.
