Classic Example of Dumb Management and Bad Planning - Mid Valley Megamall Shopping Center, KL

There are many cases of dumb management in Malaysia. You know... the kind that are promoted to management while having no logical thinking skills whatsoever. One clear exampl of this is our very own Mid Valley Megamall Shopping Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I only need to state two cases, both having to do with the Car Park planning:
1. Carpark through Entrance G
2. Carpark for Disabled People on Level 3

Just to paint the picture clearer, I went to Mid Valley with my wife and two babies about a month back. This means, two strollers, bags, and other stuff that you have to carry around with babies.

We went in through Carpark entrance G and parked at level 2b. We noticed (after lugging everyone and everything out of the car), that all entrances into the shopping mall involves having either to CLIMB up or down a flight of STAIRS. This is classic dumb management. How can you do that with two babies in two strollers and bags and stuff? Wasn't anyone thinking?

So.. we got back into the car. We noticed that there was 'Disabled Persons' parking on level 3. So we drove up and parked, near the disabled carpark, thinking that the dumb management of Mid Valley would at least build a convenient entrance for disbaled persons. But... we were wrong again.

The main entrance for the Disbaled Persons had STEPS.. instead of a slope. How dumb is that? How in the world could the dumb Mid Valley Management think that disabled persons could go down steps. Why don't they just build a slope?

Again, classic dumb management in Malaysia.
