There is a new Tesco hypermart across the road from AEON Tebrau City. You will see it just before Aeon Tebrau City if you come by Tebrau Highway from Singapore direction. The two buildings are separated by the road that leads to the respective car parks.
Besides Tesco, there are also a Food Court, some F&B outlets like Kenny Rogers and food kiosk (toasted bread with kaya (Toastbox copy), waffles, ice cream, bubble tea, titbits, etc), toy shop, games arcade centre, shops selling clothing & accessories, shoes, locksmith, household items, Cosway, bakery, mini kiosk shops, massage, hair salon, etc.
However the shops other than Tesco are not as upmarket as AEON Tebrau City shops.
However, its worth a visit becos Tesco’s own housebrand products are wide ranging, cheap & good quality – similar to Carrefour in Singapore – and you can find more non-food, household items here. Jusco is more upmarket & expensive like Cold Storage.

The New Paper

Car windows smashed in JB, same items stolen

THESE two Singaporeans have more in common than just their names.

The men, who are both called Mr Mohd Rizal, went to the same mall in Johor Baru (JB) last Saturday evening.

They both had their car windows smashed and their performance gauges stolen from their vehicles.

The two men did not know each other before the incident, which took place at the carpark of the Aeon Bukit Indah Shopping Centre.

The mall, a 20-minute drive away from Tuas Checkpoint, is popular with Singaporeans.

Mr Mohd Rizal, 32, a technical officer, and his wife went shopping after parking his four-year-old Kia Rio at the mall’s carpark at 5.30pm.

At 9.05pm, the couple returned to the car – only to find the driver’s window smashed. His performance gauge, an Apexi S-AFC, was missing.

Mr Mohd Rizal, who goes to JB twice a month, told The New Paper: “Someone had cut the cable to the gauge.”

He had bought it for $400 from a car accessories shop in Singapore two years ago.

The device is popular among motorists who wish to lower their fuel consumption.

Mr Mohd Rizal said he alerted the security officer and filed a report with the mall’s management.

As it turns out, he was not the only victim.

Mr Mohd Rizal said: “The security guard told me he saw that the window of another car had also been smashed, but they did not know who the owner was.”

He later found out that the car’s owner was another Singaporean with the same name.

The other Mr Mohd Rizal, a 37-year-old senior process technician, was also shopping at the mall with his wife and three family members.

When they returned to the carpark at 9.45pm after three hours at the mall, they saw two security officers standing around their Subaru Impreza.

The car’s $600 gauge, also an Apexi S-AFC, was gone.

The thieves had smashed the driver’s window to steal the gauge. Although he wasn’t concealing it on purpose, Mr Mohd Rizal said he had put his baseball cap over the gauge.

“I don’t understand how (the thieves) saw the gauge. Perhaps they saw it before I covered it,” he said.

He too, filed a report with the mall’s management.

So who were the culprits?

The older Mr Mohd Rizal said: “The security guard told me he saw the thief from a distance. But he could not stop him and his accomplice, who was on a motorcycle, from speeding away.”

He did not make a police report as he felt it “would not do any good”, but the younger Mr Mohd Rizal did.

The technical officer said he asked police officers to check his car’s dashboard where the gauge was placed for fingerprints, but they did not find any.

Still, he is baffled how someone could have smashed the car window and steal the gauge without being detected.

“I parked at an open-air carpark and there were many other cars parked nearby. There was even a footpath nearby,” he said.

He added that he parked his car headfirst into the parking lot and had locked his steering wheel to deter car thieves.

Deactivated alarm

“I think the thief prised open the window frame to deactivate the car alarm before smashing the window,” he said.

However, the incident will not stop him from going to the mall, where he often buys baby products for his 7-month old daughter.

The older Mr Mohd Rizal, on the other hand, who visits the mall three to four times a month, said he intends to cut down on the number of visits.

An assistant manager in a Singapore car accessories shop, who wanted to be known only as Mr Yeo, told The New Paper that the Apexi S-AFC can fetch up to RM1,000 ($400) on the black market.

Last November, The New Paper reported that a Singaporean’s car was stolen from the Aeon Tebrau City Shopping Centre, a 30-minute drive from the Aeon Bukit Indah Shopping Centre.

The 29-year-old woman’s Mitsubishi Colt Plus was stolen in the 10 minutes that she left it to pay the parking fee.

In May 2008, a car radio was stolen from a Singapore-registered Honda Stream left at an open-air carpark at the Aeon Tebrau City Shopping Centre. The owner found his car window smashed.

Getting there – From CIQ, find your way to City Square, cross over, then go to Public Bank. Just wait around there, be patient, 9B took 15 min to arrive. After hospital, get ready to drop off.

Coming back – from Jusco supermart at G level, take travelator down one level. You will see carpark. Find your way out to the FRONT of Jusco. You will need to cross a road bridge to get to THE OTHER SIDE of a very busy road. There is a sheltered bus stop there. I took 77 back.

If I take a taxi back to City Squaare from Aeon Tebrau City, what is a good time to go back after a day shopping? How much is the taxi fare? Two days ago, I had to pay RM22 to City Square because many drivers refused to take us because it was around 8pm.

Hi Quah, it cost about RM$20 to get from Tebrau City to City Square. If you are talking about weekdays, anytime from 3pm – 5pm is good. Tebrau Highway, the main artery of Johor Bahru, gets clogged up after that.
