21 Jun – Since its announcement early in the year, the double opening of Golden Screen Cinemas' (GSC) cinemas, GSC Setia City in Shah Alam and GSC Paradigm in Petaling Jaya has been long anticipated, with GSC finally opening both doors to the public on 20 and 21 June respectively.

Setia City Mall was the first of the two to be launched yesterday, providing moviegoers in Setia Alam with an opportunity to catch movies nearby as the only other cinema in Shah Alam was MBO Space U8 Mall which opened in November last year.

The event was graced by speeches by Ms. Koh Mei Lee, CEO of Golden Screen Cinemas Sdn Bhd, followed by Y.B. Tuan Ronnie Liu Tian Khiew, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tetap Kerajaan Tempatan. The highlight of the event was the 'live sand' drawings by a guest artist, who drew out the history of GSC in sand along with iconic movie scenes.
