Incidents

On 30 May 2017, a fire broke out on Megamall's second floor at 8:20 pm local time. The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department managed to put it out by 8:52 pm. A subsequent investigation traced the cause of the fire to a faulty facsimile machine. [6] [7]

On 17 May 2023, fire broke out at the mall. The fire started from the TNB substation plant but was brought down by the firefighters in less than an hour. The incident was believed to be caused by an overheating cooling oil within the TNB substation. [8]

The mall has 4,500,000 sq ft (420,000 m2) of total floor area, out of which 1,700,000 sq ft (160,000 m2) is leasable space. This whole area is sometimes referred to Mid Valley City. [9]

Transportation

Train

The mall is connected to the  KB01  Mid Valley Station of Keretapi Tanah Melayu.
