hopoh shopping mall before construction

 An advertisement placed in a publication during the construction of Bangunan Wisma Hopoh in 1983.

When the initial construction plan was drawn up in 1977, the Hopoh Guest House Building would be built with nine floors. Due to financial problems, it was reduced to five floors.
At that time, Wisma Hopoh was a shopping paradise for visitors.
For everyone's knowledge, the first and oldest KFC restaurant in Sarawak is located at Wisma Hopoh.

Wisma Saberkas

Wisma saberkas dirasmikan sekitar 30 tahun yang lepas iaitu pada tahun 1985.Pada ketika itu,hanya ada beberapa bangunan tinggi yang ada di bandaraya Kuching.Pada zaman kegemilangannya,Saberkas menjadi tempat tumpuan orang ramai untuk membeli belah.Dahulu.terdapat open air food centre di aras atas shopping kompleks ini.Ianya ditutup sekitar awal tahun 2000.

Mungkin kerana sudah mendapat kurangsambutan ..Bahagian atasnya pula terdapat pejabat-pejabat kerajaan negeri seperti Jabatan Pengairan dan saliran,Jabatan Kerja Raya,Pejabat Saberkas dan lain-lain lagi.Dalam era moden sekarang,terdapat berbelas Shopping Kompleks yang lebih besar dan mewah dari Wisma saberkas serta menyediakan pelbagai jenis barangan yang mahal dan bertaraf antarabangsa.Walaupun  adalah mustahil untuk bersaing dengan komplek-kompleks membeli belah itu,namun masih ada pekedai yang berniaga di sini dan masih ada pelawat yang datang untuk membeli belah.

Sekarang,Wisma Saberkas terkenal dengan tempat jualan barangan dan gadget eletronik.Barangan yang paling besar,yang kecil,baru serta alat ganti boleh diperolehi di sini.Diharap satu masa kelak,Wisma Saberkas dapat berdiri megah kembali seperti dahulu dan ramai orang akan membanjiri kompleks ini semula.
