MEGA FAM 2013 - Launch Event

Malaysia Mega Sale is back.

Also known as the 1Malaysia Mega Sale & 1Malaysia Unified Sale 2013, the event was officially launched this afternoon by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, YB Dato' Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Tan Sri Abdul Aziz (seen here wearing the white baju melayu).

Tourism Malaysia of invited a total of 134 participants from 17 countries to attend the launch which was held at KARYANEKA (Kuala Lumpur Craft Complex).

The programme for all the participants includes various presentations of upcoming events, a welcoming performance and a fashion show.

While in Kuala Lumpur, one cannot miss the iconic PETRONAS Twin Towers.  Located at the base of the towers is Suria KLCC – a mall with more than 400 shops housing many international brands.  It is also a foodie paradise with several renowned restaurants serving local fare.

We also learnt that the 2,000 solar panels installed on level 6 is capable of producing 660,000 kilowatts - enough to power  200 homes!

The Tallest Liuli Crystal Fountain in the country is located at the main entrance of the Pavillion.

Some participants took the opportunity to practice the European traditional way of throwing their coins backwards into the fountain.

‘Tokyo Street @ Pavillion’ is a little Japan away from the land of rising sun.

Daiso can be found here and so is this shop selling exclusively Japan-made Orient watches!
