I am familiar with the ongoings in the western part of Sinkieland.
JCube will be demolished to build another 'mixed development' nonsense on its site. The ice skating rink, Tiong Scarlett mart and Daiso will be missed. I am old enough to fondly remember the Jurong Entertainment Centre (JEC) that was on the spot JCube is standing on now.
Big Box is no more, it has been sold and renovated to become Perennial Business City, a place to rent rooms for conferences and events. There's a nice area on the ground floor where you can sit on the benches and relax. Big Box could never compete with its retail competitors of the Capitalmalls cartel nearby (JCube, Westgate, IMM) or the JEM mall next to it.
I totally cannot remember what was on jcube ground before jcube was built even I visited JE very frequently last time.I am familiar with the ongoings in the western part of Sinkieland.

JCube was a shopping centre located in Jurong East, Singapore that operated from 2 April 2012 to 6 August 2023. It used to house an Olympic-size ice rink and Singapore's first IMAX theatre in the suburbs. It was built on the former site of the Jurong Entertainment Centre

To cater for the influx of tiongs and their dirty money.
Yup...profitable developments like expensive foodcourts and fancy Michelin stars restaurants that only the rich elites can enjoy.Indeed. No room for ice skating... or horse racing. There are more profitable developments.
I think many little sinkies doesn't know how to skate and dance and doesn't want to learn or scare to do it so no market for it.Indeed. No room for ice skating... or horse racing. There are more profitable developments.

Also the hard-core horse punters already left with not many years of lifespan
Sad
SG does not have critical population mass even at 6m... We need to impork more than 20m to huat big big hahJEM and Westgate killed Jcube. Such a small area, how to support four malls? It's not Orchard Road.
Perennial Business City sounds... like an ok idea in the medium to long term, depends on how much the Jurong CBD can be built up in the next 5 to 10 years, with or without HSR.
I thought those were mostly all curious spectators and the skaters are always the same group of repetitive customersNot really, the JCube ice skating rink is always fairly crowded when I visited it.
'No market for this'... keep thinking along this line, no wonder the PAP technocrats love to screw you.
