Singapore

AS retailers forge ahead with efforts to go online, a move hastened by the Covid-19 pandemic, mall operators in Singapore should also align themselves with the trend to stay relevant - not just to consumers, but tenants as well, according to industry consultants.

This is important given that the diminished foot traffic at malls could persist even after the pandemic situation improves, as consumers are likely to remain cautious. Malls may also have to continue to comply with rules for safe management and crowd control.
