Insufficient hypermarket in Bandar Jengka

Bandar Pusat Jengka or Jengka Town Centre is a main town in Pahang, Malaysia. Bandar Pusat Jengka is the centre of the Jengka Triangle which is known as FELDA Jengka. The Jengka Triangle (Malay: Segitiga Jengka), which is the largest FELDA settlement in Malaysia, is one of the successful Malaysian government's project to eradicate poverty among its citizen.

Insufficient hypermarket is a common problem in Jengka.

Every day, many of us go out to buy daily necessities. However, in Jengka not many options were offered. This happens due to lack of hypermarket that providing basic necessities to meet the needs and demands of Jengka society.

The existing hypermarket, which is U-Mart and Bumi Maju that located in the heart of Jengka cannot fulfill the demand from Jengka society that consist of rapidly increasing especially since Universiti Teknologi Mara have been established in Jengka.

Businessman do not want to open a business due to business monopoly in Jengka, limited diversity of goods for consumer to choose in Jengka, did not get good respond and support from society for new businessman who want to set up the business in Jengka. Due to this problem, the buyer power will be reduced or limited due to the lack of choice of goods .No competitor among businessman in Jengka and it will effect the market in Jengka and monopoly by the main supermarket that already existed in Jengka.

For the solution, we believe that the businessman should increase the variety of goods, attract more outside businessman to set up their business in Jengka, build more hyper market and provide more service shop in Jengka to fulfill the demand from local household. They really should expand their horizon and try to enhance the quality of goods and services provided by them.
