Sunway Pyramid's Raya Anyamans

The Official Deco for this festive Raya season, only at Sunway Pyramid

With Raya just another week left, im pretty sure that you realize that malls around Klang valley are up with their festive decorations to celebrate the festive season together with their loyal shoppers. And recently I was invited to the community engagement event which was held recently, and I have tons of things to share with you guys! Even Fahrin Ahmad, Amber Chia and Deborah Henry was there too!

The Anyaman of a Ketupat.

This year, you might want to drop by Sunway Pyramid to celebrate the festive season where this years’ inspiration would be ‘anyamans’ which surrounds the mall with its delicate yet simple art form to create an ambience like no other for this coming Aidilfitri. We had a lovely traditional performance as well, to officiate the launch of the Raya Theme and promotions happening at Sunway Pyramid too.

Ketupat Anyamans, fund raising for the National Cancer Society Malaysia

Why shop at Sunway Pyramid? From now till 26^th July, the mall will be holding a few exclusive anyaman workshops and exciting redemptions. Not only that Sunway Pyramid will be rewarding shoppers, but they are also giving backt o society with an interactive activity to enjoy with shoppers. We had celebrity attendees and shoppers of Sunway Pyramid folding ketupats at the event where each ketupat folded, Sunway Pyramid will donate RM5 to the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM)’s Childrens Home of Hope. So if you would like to contribute, do make sure you fold some ketupats when youre at Sunway Pyramid.

Kevin Tan gave a speech as the Chief Operating Officer.

At the event, we had Kevin Tan, Chief Operating Officer of Sunway Shopping Malls who said ‘ Shopping malls of today play a pivotal role in the community. They have transformed to become not only a place to shop but also a public meeting place where people integrate, socialize and harmonize.” Well said Kevin Tan.
