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.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
