context_section_description: Pasar Baru began to lose out to modern shopping malls of the 1970s and 1980s, such as Gajah Mada Plaza, Aldiron Plaza and Ratu Plaza; as well as large air-conditioned malls in the 1990s. Despite of this, Pasar Baru continues to survive with a more mid-market target.
  A roof was installed over Pasar Baru street to protect shoppers from the rain.
