Jurong East Mall cancels today's opening

Cites 'administrative issue' as cause of delay.

Developers of the highly-anticipated Jurong East Mall (Jem) announced late Monday that the opening of Singapore's third largest suburban mall will be delayed. Lend Lease, the Australian developer behind the mall, cited administrative issues as the cause of the aforementioned postponement. 

In a release, the management said: "we would like to notify the public that Jem will not be opening on 11th June. This is due to an administrative issue. We were anticipating having received all the necessary endorsements by end of business yesterday however that was not the case. We have therefore taken the difficult decision of not opening the mall to the public today in order to adhere to regulatory requirements."

The management will issue further announcements to the new opening schedule.

Jem is directly connected to the Jurong East MRT station and located at the junction of Jurong Gateway and Boon Lay Way. It will be part of Jurong Gateway regional centre which will be 2.5 times of the tampines regional centre.
