The mall is launching the “Shop and Redeem: Bag It Bah!” campaign.
The initiative aims to reduce plastic waste and promote eco-friendly practices.
From Aug 24 to Sept 4, shoppers who spend a minimum of RM100 in a single or combined receipt during the anniversary celebrations will receive a foldable reusable shopping bag.
“This campaign aligns with City Hall’s 3B Campaign ‘Bawa Beg Bah’, as announced by the mayor in June 2024.
“A total of 3,600 reusable bags will be distributed to encourage sustainable shopping habits.
“The mall extends its gratitude to City Hall for their support in the clean-up activity and to sponsors whose contributions were instrumental in making this event a success,” she added.
The mall’s management encourages everyone to participate in future events and contribute to preserving the natural beauty of Sabah’s beaches which would be updated through on their official social media.
