I believe that with the development of new ways of shopping like online shopping, it has made it easier for people to access many essentials or items that they need. So I think that it’s no longer very necessary to build large shopping malls in towns and cities. Don’t you think so? I don’t think that I agree with you to a certain point.

Mind you, I think that building large shopping malls in towns and cities will provide jobs for people and it could uproot the quality of people’s lives financially and help them meet their needs. Instead of being loosey and sad, it will be grim and glad. Don’t you think that’s more… Can you give me… Providing jobs. Yes, I do believe that malls can provide jobs for people, especially youngsters who are looking for small jobs or a part-time job that they can work at between their schools or at weekends. On top of that, I think that shopping can help with a very good social activity as people… You’re not talking to me for a moment. Why? I was just starting from Badri. What about you? I was… Mom!
