I hope the new owner change it's name. There's a place at Tampines near Blk 419 called " Sun Plaza" too.
A taxi driver told me when passenger tell him Sun Plaza, he need to ask : " Sembawang or Tampines?"

since it's now for sales, dun think they will reno the cinema area for something new until new owners take over

Oh, isit didnt noe there's 2 Sun Plaza in SG....

so sad to hear that sun plaza is up for sales ... that's the only shopping and entertainment centre when me and my wife was still in sembawang ....

I think the population in Sembawang is not huge enough to support the size of Sun Plaza. As for cinema, its not easy anymore to run a cinema. Even Sengkang which have a larger population do not have a cinema. And a few cinemas have closed down for the past 10 years. Sun Plaza and cinema need residents from outside Sembawang to come and patronise it in order to be profitable for the management and tenants.

There are cinemas at Yishun and Ang Mo Kio too. Dont have to travel to town to watch movie. I think that is also one of the reasons why Sun Plaza's cinema close down due to close proximity of other alternative cinemas.

Northpoint used to be small too. But now expanded. Sun Plaza can be expanded as there are empty land around it. And quite sure the interchange will be integrated with it too if there is any expansion. 

according to my bf..its lousy plaza

been here for 10yrs, heres wad i rem..
countrymana is replaced by xin wang( which is gd),
cavana(replaced by thai express ^^)
,popular - when i 1st moved here, it's already there but closed down after a few yrs. cant remember wad replaced it. some homeware store..
and popular came back again and closed down loL..(gain city now)
b4 mos burger is here, i tink its a malay restaurant and a bubble tea restaurant.
delifrance replaced by pasta mania
Some chinese restaurant replaced by sakai sushi ...
and many other more..there's even a post office now. =x

the unbeatable - NTUC, MAC, KFC, watson, gardian, home fix, bubble tea (e uncle who say "drinks" everytime lol) Yamaha. cant rem..e rest.

i still sunplaza got improvement la..not so bad right.. quite sad eng wah is gone, but i really think its hard to earn $ ..
and im glad sembawang shopping center is back again.(daiso.giant, cotton on, mos..)

yeah.. but there is no movie theater in 38wang now. The nearest, GV yishun , if not is Cathay in causway point.

sembawang shopping centre is great!
like the tao sa pieh there.
a pity not so convenient to go there. parking also headache.
it will be great if thomson line will run there...dream on....

but at least Sun Plaza has a library when our children can borrow books to read.
i wonder if the Yamaha there is good.

There's a gong cha opening at sun plaza! 

@import url(/providers/htmleditorproviders/cehtmleditorprovider/dnngeneral.css);

??? What's that?

Wow, if Sun Plaza goes, it'll be sad. Worked at the macdonald's there during my early teens. Buts it's true, it's too small, and theres Northpoint, S.S.C and Causeway Point nearby, all new and renovated.

If they do redevelop it, I hope they keep its quaint and simple sembawang style. And rename it, cos theres also sunshine plaza in CCK.

Nowadays, anything that doesn't make enough $$$, have to go. Simple as that.

Well. I actually did wrote in to K-Box to suggest opening an outlet in Sun Plaza, told them that the cinema has closed for a few years and the space is empty since. But looks like K-Box also know Sun Plaza is not profitable.

Thinking of moving out of Sembawang, but now prices too steep to move. *sigh*

For. Sales ?
This is a good news.... maybe got better.
Upgrade of the old plaza
