The original building had four storeys of retail units, five storeys of office units and four storeys of car-parks. The building was earmarked for redevelopment, in which it would be demolished and rebuilt as a namesake shopping centre, with additional loading bays, access roads and security in the late 2000s.
Incidents
Collapse
On 28 May 2009, the original Jaya Supermarket collapsed while being torn down for redevelopment, killing seven Indonesian construction workers,[3] and injuring an unspecified number of people in the busy commercial district. An investigative committee found that the deaths were due to mistakes in the demolition process, and made recommendations for improvements in Malaysia's regulations on demolition projects.[3]
