15 Dec 2009 Update
A blast took place at AEON Bandaraya Melaka just three days before its grand opening, killing one person and injuring sixteen. A gas leak is blamed for the explosion. Firemen from the Kubu station rushed to the scene upon receiving a distress call. The blast created a 2-meter wide hole in the wall. It also shattered glass and caused debris to fly in the 25-meter radius. It caused the opening of the mall to be shelved.
