Country all set for shopping festival

TheStar Online (November 19, 2009)

PETALING JAYA: Shopping malls and retailers are all gearing up for the Malaysia Year End Sale (M-YES) — a much-anticipated celebration of shopping, dining and entertainment from Saturday to Jan 3 next year, Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Ng Yen Yen.

Shopping is the second biggest share of tourist expenditures after accommodation, with its contribution of RM13,282.4mil in 2008, compared to RM12,254.6mil in 2007, being an increase of 8.4%, she said.

“The year-end excitement of school and winter holidays and festivities is clearly felt in Malaysia,” she said.

Ng added: “I believe that we are on target to reach 20 million tourist arrivals by the end of the year; final quarter events including M-YES will certainly boost our tourism revenue.

Over 44 days, M-YES brings to visitors and shoppers in Malaysia a host of events and bargains which will see some 350 retailers across the country taking part.

Among the specials awaiting shoppers to Malaysia are Privilege Cards at selected malls that entitle them to better bargains. They only need to present their passports and/or boarding passes at the customer service counters of participating malls in the Klang Valley.

Other promotions during the M-YES 2009 include the “180 Minutes Shopping Madness” at Suria KLCC where shoppers have to look out for Santarina in order to win a shopping voucher valued at RM500; and the MasterCard promotion offers a chance to win a Paris holiday with every RM500 charged to their card.

The fun and serious sides of blogging

BLOGGERS and those interested in sharing their thoughts on blogosphere are invited to the PJ Challenge ‘09 Bloggers Karnival: Feel Green in Knowledge City June 20.

The event, held in conjunction with the third anniversary of PJ becoming a city, will take place at the Jaya 33 shopping centre, touted to be Malaysia’s first hyperoffice and community mall.

The event, from 11am to 5pm, is being sponsored by Kaspersky Lab with the support of the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and the Association of Backpackers Malaysia (ABM).

Come all: Dr Wong (fifth from right) and association members with a poster of the PJ Challenge 09 Bloggers Karnival taking place on June 20.

Bloggers and non-bloggers alike are invited to join in the fun which includes classes on how to set up your own blog, sharing session with established bloggers, a treasure hunt, colouring contest for the kids, face-painting and even an opportunity to find your match.

Former Kelana Jaya MP and ABM president Datuk Dr Wong Sai Hou said charity associations and Chinese organisations in Petaling Jaya were now linked to one another through blogs.

“Now is the right time for such organisations to connect to one another through blogs not only to ensure the public are aware of their existence but also that they step forward to help them,” he said during a meeting with representatives of several charity associations and Chinese organisations.

Dr Wong said he had invited welfare officers to the meeting because he was concerned about the poor in Petaling district.

He said an outreach programme called “Projek Cari” had been launched to identify those in need of welfare aid.

The welfare officers will collect comprehensive data on the poor and the information would be sent to the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry for further action. He added that the outreach programme’s deadline had been extended until December this year.

Petaling district welfare officer Sunarni Mastury said RM300 monthly would be given to those who earn less than RM720 a month.

“Before aid is given we need to investigate to make sure the help goes to the right person. Due to a shortage of welfare assistant officers, we need members of the public to inform us of those in dire need of help,” she said.

At the end of the meeting, Dr Wong presented cheques worth RM2,000 each to five Chinese associations and organisations.

The total donation of RM10,000 was from the Prime Minister’s Department to help the associations in their annual activities.
