One of the most unique things about Malaysia are our shopping malls because they are always beautifully decorated several times a year to celebrate our cultural diversity. You can be assured of amazing festive decor during Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Christmas.
With so many malls to visit, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping during festive seasons.
With Hari Raya just around the corner in about 2 weeks, before you go shopping, it is a good idea to pay a visit to the Facebook pages and websites of some of the top shopping malls around Klang Valley to check out the Raya promotions and decorations. That's exactly what we did so you can have all the information on one page to help you plan your shopping trips, dates, days and times to coincide with the events that have been put together by the various malls.
All photos in this post are sourced from the Facebook pages of the respective malls which we provide a link to at the bottom of each image.
