Marketplace


Keramat Mall

Keramat Mall houses a wet market, a dry market, a food court, a multipurpose hall and parking bays. The cost of the project was RM70 million. However, Keramat Mall is far from being the buzzing marketplace it was envisioned to be due to the mall being "neither trader friendly or consumer friendly". In 2013, a Mini Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) was set-up in the marketplace.
