If you grew up in or around Subang Jaya, chances are you've been to Subang Parade, the OG shopping mall that's been around since 1988
And if you've been there, you definitely remember the bubble lifts — those cylindrical, see-through elevators to get from floor to floor.
Well, guess what? After years of being out of operation, those iconic lifts are finally making a comeback!
Subang Parade recently announced that the lifts are being revived and upgraded, and will be operational soon.
Following the announcement, many Malaysians are reminiscing about their memories of riding the iconic elevators
It's not exactly clear when the lifts stopped working, but one person mentioned it might have been around 2004.
Another claimed that when the lifts were non-functional, they were used as pop-up fitting rooms and carpet storerooms.
