At one time, because there was rent control after the World War II, many of these prewar buildings were kept by the owners as there was no financial incentive without the ability to chase out old tenants or increase the rental rate.
Today, as you go around Seremban you can see the interesting design of the five-foot way outside each building - like a connecting corridor and the window and door decorations.

Perhaps before this shopping mall was built there was a small temple or a giant tree where a spirit is worshipped by the local Chinese.
When the shopping mall was completed, the shrine was rebuilt so that the local Chinese can continue to pay their respects and pray.
Small Chinese shrines like this are found in urban areas or even in compounds of multi-national factories. To demolish completely and forget about these holy shrines will be courting unknown disasters for the new tenants - so goes the beliefs.
