F1 Batam Club which is located at level 1 of Planet Holiday is the only disco i know is open. I no longer interested to frequent at disco at my age, so don't look around and explore. I know F1 club is open as I've already been staying in Planet Holiday for a week. Went to Lucky Plaza and Nagoya Hill again yesterday. All shops at Nagoya Hill seem business as usual, the mall doesn't look any different as i last went there in 2019. However, Lucky Plaza and Center Point which used to be vibrant 20 years ago are half dead. Especially Center Point, only shops at the external part of the building seem occupied, like ghost building. While Lucky Plaza, seem that only hp shops are doing well, no more food court,Matahari also no longer there. Most shops opposite there are closed. Beside some shops space at the ground floor of Formosa Hotel, the entire building is in darkness at night. Covid has killed several well known popular hotels such as Formosa and Harmoni at Batam. Businesses here don't get the level of government support as their counterparts in Singapore. Some of the Gojek drivers have tell me that many ceweks are now staying at Reddoorz awaiting for booking, some are staying at Pacific but those staying there charge RP2 to RP3 million for overnight booking. Many Gojek drivers have offer me to find ceweks.
