Thanks all for your kind words! I processed the original raw file twice.
The original here has too strong bright areas (similar to Bruce’s “Schooner in the City”). I hardly reduced exposure in raw editor to get the brightest parts look acceptable, send result to PS as smart-object, created a copy of it, loaded the copy back to raw editor, corrected exposure & colors for the rest of the picture, send it to PS and merged two layers into one, masking out the brightest zone. Then did some small color correctness & sharpened the result. That’s it.

Impressive that you carry a tripod around with you and that you have the dedication to work in the rain. -Doug

Love it when I visited Singapore many moons ago, and now you are making me want to visit again.

This could be a strong entry in the cslr "Reflections" challenge. Looks good here too. -tv

I like the look of the mall and the refelctive glow but maybe the blue is a little bit too bright for my taste. Penny Street
