THE first cineplex in Shah Alam was opened at the new Space U8 mall in Bukit Jelutong yesterday, making it a dream come true for residents in the area.
Space U8 chief exective officer Raja Ahmad Nizam Raja Razali admitted that the mall had achieved a major breakthrough by obtaining the approval for the MBO cineplex in the city.
“We are proud to be the first to bring cinemas to the city. MBO’s involvement has further boosted the image of the mall which was built using an eco-friendly concept,’’ Raja Ahmad Nizam said.

“This is going to be a happening place with various types of commercial and social activities,’’ he said during the soft opening of the mall.
