Silverland Managing Director Shaik Rizal Sulaiman said, “The exhibition is run by a local company called WeGrow Global Sdn Bhd. Through this collaboration, we hope that it will not only boost tourism sector but also help with local economy providing job opportunities. The Dinosaur Encounter as one of the main attractions in the outlet besides F&B.”

According to YB Loh Sze Yee, the Chairman of Perak Tourism, Investment and Corridor Development Committee, that “Usually when tourists come to the state capital, Ipoh, they only go to places within the city. Now we want to focus on expanding the tourism culture within the greater Ipoh area such as Gopeng and Batu Gajah. Among the plans are to expand the Hop-On Hop-Off bus route for the Gopeng-Batu Gajah tourism cluster. This outlet is a combination between entertainment and education suitable for school children.”

I enjoyed walking around this new outlet mall over looking a lake with greenery surroundings. There are many activities for kids to try. The two outlets at Siverlakes Village link together with the longest floating bridge in Malaysia. Whilst the mothers go shopping, the fathers can meet new friends and chit-chat over coffee at one of the many F&B joints.

The mall was set to be Perak's first premium outlet & began construction in 2017. It was reported in 2013, that Silverland Capital Sdn Bhd collaborated with Metier Pte Ltd on RM250 million 1st phase of its proposed billion-ringgit Siverlakes property project in Kinta Valley. It has an exhibition known ‘Dinosaur Encounter’ with high technology features.
