Bangsawan touch to Raya celebratio­n

-

HARI Raya Aidilfitri is the time of year for families and friends to get together, share and care. And at Queensbay Mall, the scene is set for joyful festivitie­s with a touch of grandeur.

This year, decoration­s and events take on a Bangsawan theme honouring the Malay noblemen culture of olden days. A palace-like courtyard has sprung up at the Central Atrium, complete with refined workmanshi­p.

It will be the stage for mesmerisin­g Gamelan and colourful Malay dance performanc­es throughout the month, leading up to the 1st of Syawal.

The festive event line-up kicked off with the ‘Kasih Aidilfitri’ Majlis Berbuka Puasa last Saturday where 50 children from the Pertubuhan Kebajikan Nasyiatul Aisyiyah were treated to a heartwarmi­ng gathering at the mall.

The home was presented with a RM3,000 donation, while each child received Raya goodies from AEON Queensbay Mall as well as duit raya from Shashas Collection. The group then broke fast at The Chicken Rice Shop.

The highlight of the month will be the Pandora Jewellery Showcase happening on June 9.

Be at the Central Atrium at 3pm to see models parade glittering jewellery from Pandora, matched with the latest Hari Raya apparels from Shashas Collection.

Shop for all your festive essentials at the Bazaar Ramadan ongoing until June 13 at the Ground Floor, North Zone. Treat yourself to mouth-watering titbits as you explore the vast assortment of Raya-themed hampers, delicacies and more on sale.

Those looking for stylish and elegant Baju Raya, will find great choices by Shashas Collection at the Central Atrium. So shop around and remember to snap photos with the grand Raya decoration­s.

The mall has many other exciting promotions lined up, including the Mesra Aidilfitri Gift Idea Redemption and Selera Ramadan Redemption which both kicked off last weekend.

Under the former, shoppers could use 2,000 CapitaStar STAR$ to redeem one Bath & Body Works 70gm Body Cream, perfect for oneself or as a gift for loved ones. In the latter, spending of RM200 in a single receipt entitles one to redeem a RM10 cash rebate voucher from The Manhattan Fish Market.

Both are limited to the first 100 shoppers only, so those who missed out, keep an eye out for other upcoming rewards.

Starting today is the Sampul Aidilfitri Redemption. Spend RM300 onwards (or RM200 with a HSBC credit card) in a single receipt to redeem a set of exclusive packets. Hurry, as it is only valid while stocks last.

Participat­e in the Spend and Be Enchanted contest running till June 17.

To get an entry, all one has to do is shop RM150 or more in a single receipt. Exciting prizes worth up to RM5,000 from Pandora are to be won.

Visit the mall this weekend on June 2 and 3 to enjoy the enchanting Gamelan and Malay cultural dance performanc­es starting 2pm at the Centre Atrium. Another session will take place on June 10, also at 2pm.

With so many exciting events and shopping treats lined up to enhance the festive atmosphere, it promises to be a truly mesmerisin­g Hari Raya at Queensbay Mall.
