Galaxy Snooker Centre Review - Snooker Hall in Kangar, Perlis

Last updated: 30 September 2026

Galaxy Snooker Centre is the newest snooker centre in Perlis, located in the Kangar Jaya area of Kangar. What sets it apart from other venues in Malaysia's smallest state is its investment in premium equipment: a VVIP table with a built-in heater, Wiraka and Aramith balls, and all-new gear throughout the venue. For Perlis, where the snooker scene is modest, Galaxy represents a notable step up in ambition and quality.

The VVIP Heated Table at Galaxy Snooker Centre

The headline feature at Galaxy Snooker Centre is its VVIP table equipped with a heater. Table heaters are used in professional snooker to maintain consistent cloth conditions by reducing moisture absorption from the air. In Malaysia's tropical climate, where humidity regularly exceeds 70%, a heated table keeps the cloth drier and faster, resulting in a more responsive and predictable playing surface.

Heated tables are standard at professional tournaments and high-end venues in major Malaysian cities, but finding one in Perlis is unusual. For serious players in the state, this is potentially the best playing surface available without travelling to Kedah or Penang. The "VVIP" designation suggests this table may be in a separate area or offered at a premium rate, though specifics are not confirmed.

For more context on how table heating and cloth type affect play, our snooker table buying guide discusses these factors in the Malaysian climate context.

All-New Equipment: Wiraka and Aramith

Galaxy Snooker Centre uses Wiraka and Aramith balls, both of which are established brands in the cue sports industry. Aramith, made by Saluc in Belgium, is widely regarded as the world's standard for snooker and pool balls, used in professional tournaments globally. Wiraka is a well-known Malaysian brand for both tables and accessories. Having both brands represented is a positive indicator of equipment quality.

The "all-new" description suggests the venue opened recently with fresh equipment throughout, which is a real advantage. New cloth plays better than worn cloth, new balls roll more consistently, and new cushion rubber provides more predictable rebounds. The playing experience at a new venue with quality equipment is generally superior to older halls where equipment has accumulated years of wear.

Karaoke Entertainment

Galaxy also offers karaoke alongside snooker, which is a common combination in Malaysian entertainment venues. For groups where not everyone wants to play snooker, karaoke provides an alternative activity that keeps the entire group entertained. This multi-activity approach is practical for social outings and can help the business attract a wider customer base beyond dedicated snooker players.

Whether the karaoke enhances or detracts from the snooker experience depends on the layout. If the activities are separated, the combination works well. If karaoke noise bleeds into the playing area, it could be a distraction for serious players. We cannot confirm the layout.

What We Cannot Confirm

Despite its premium positioning, Galaxy Snooker Centre has notable gaps in publicly available information. There is no formal street address in any directory we checked, only the general Kangar Jaya area. There is no phone number, no website, and no published hours or pricing. The total number of tables and specific table brands (beyond the VVIP heated table) are unknown. The venue maintains a TikTok presence at @galaxy.snooker.ce, which may provide more visual information about the facility.

The absence of a formal address and phone number is a practical obstacle for first-time visitors. We recommend checking the TikTok page for visual clues about the exact location, or asking local players in Kangar for directions.

Who Should Visit Galaxy Snooker Centre

Galaxy Snooker Centre is the right choice for Perlis players who want the newest and most premium equipment available in the state. The VVIP heated table is a genuine draw for serious players, and the all-new Wiraka and Aramith equipment should provide a quality playing experience. Social groups will appreciate the karaoke option as an alternative activity.

For players who prefer a more established venue or who need to buy cues and accessories, BBC Snooker Club, also in Kangar, sells equipment alongside play. For players willing to travel beyond Perlis, the Kedah and Penang snooker scenes offer more options, though the drive from Kangar is at least 45 minutes to an hour.
