All You Need To Know About Mustafa Shopping Centre

History:

Mustafa Shopping Centre primarily marketed ready-to-wear apparel before branching out into electronics sales. Mushtaq relocated his business to the first level of Serangoon Plaza in 1985. Mushtaq purchased a store on Syed Alwi Road as his business grew. He eventually got the adjacent buildings and chose to construct a new mall to house his business. In the year 2000, the company extended globally to Chennai. Mustafa Center is one of several COVID-19 clusters, with over 100 cases among foreign workers’ dormitories on April 2, 2020. It was shuttered, disinfected, and partially reopened on May 6, 2020, after Singapore officials relaxed preventive efforts to control the virus’s spread.

It had temporarily limited its operation hours since reopening since unbelievable that many people would remain late during the epidemic. Mushtaq announced cost-cutting measures on August 27, 2020, affecting certain workers’ salaries and the non-renewal of work licenses for its international personnel. The corporation had also been collaborating with various unions and government organizations to assist in redeploying surplus staff generated by the epidemic to other companies, therefore avoiding the necessity for downsizing.
