Popular’s Mega Bookfair returns, with more exciting offers and activities
KUCHING: Popular Malaysia will be holding its ‘Mega Bookfair’ at CityONE Exhibition Centre here from this Dec 22 to Jan 1 next year.
This year’s fair marks the fourth edition of the largest trilingual – English, Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia – book showcase in the state.
Throughout the Mega Bookfair, visitors will be able to enjoy offers from as low as RM5 on more than 120 selected items, ranging from books to gadgets. The special prices will vary each day.
Those who purchase a minimum of RM60 on a single day will also stand for the ‘purchasewith-purchase’ deals comprising savings up to 50 per cent off selected utensils and gadgets; those with a minimum purchase of RM80 in a single receipt on a single day will receive RM20 worth of Popular vouchers – consisting of two RM5 vouchers that could be redeemed at any Popular Kuching outlets, and a RM10 ‘Bonus Treats’ voucher.
The Bonus Treats voucher is only applicable at the Bonus Treats Counter of the Mega Bookfair – it is valid only on the date of issuance with purchase of any selected item at the counter.
For visitors with a minimum purchase of RM150 in a single receipt on a single day, they will receive two fancy notebooks of their choice for free – while stocks last.
There will also be special deals on selected products for Popular Privilege Card members during the Mega Bookfair. For new members or those renewing their three-year card membership, they stand to get a range of premium gifts including a Popular-exclusive multi-purpose bag, while those applying for or renewing their one-year card membership will each receive a multi- function stylus pen.
There will be a host of fun-filled activities at this year’s Mega Bookfair – one of the highlights is the ‘Little Eco Warriors’ recycling carnival, based on the comic book ‘ Little Eco Warriors’ published exclusively by Popular Malaysia earlier this year.
The comic narrates the adventures of a group of youngsters, who band together to save Planet Earth from pollution.
