SINGAPORE – Little India landmark Mustafa Centre will be open round the clock again come Sept 6, four years after its operating hours were reduced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
A spokesman for the mall confirmed its return to pre-pandemic hours and a large sticker announcing the return of 24-hour operations has been placed on the floor of an entrance to the well-loved building.
“We are making this change based on customer demand and feedback. The tourist numbers have also increased and we want to cater to their needs,” the spokesman told The Straits Times.
Since it first opened its doors in 1995, Mustafa Centre has been the go-to destination for late-night shopping.
When Covid-19 hit, the mall reduced its operating hours to 9.30am to 11.30pm. The closing time was later changed to 2am from July 2022.
A notice from the mall’s management, dated Aug 8, confirming the reinstatement of 24-hour operations has also drawn glee from netizens.
“Hooray! I can go buy urgent miscellaneous household stuff for apartment preparation at 3am, or over-the-counter medication or (go for) wee hours retail therapy!” commented Facebook user Jess Thia in one post.
