Suria KLCC Evokes Nostalgia and Tradition In This Year’s Raya Celebration

Suria KLCC are set to transport shoppers to the coastal fishing villages of the East Coast this Raya season in conjunction with its Hari Raya campaign starting 24 March until 1 May 2023. This year’s decorations may bring back memories for some, while for others, an appreciation of the simple pleasures found in a traditional fishing village.

The Centre Court is the hub of the festivities, featuring a traditional wooden village house set amidst a picturesque landscape dotted with coconut trees that immerses visitors in the vibrant atmosphere of a Malaysian village.

An interactive wayang kulit (puppet-shadow play) gives shoppers a hands-on experience of moving and controlling the shadow puppets. Apart from that, visitors can have a go at nostalgic childhood games such as teng teng (hopscotch), gasing (spinning top) and congkak at the Centre Court.

Festive songs wafting through the air serve to enhance shoppers’ Hari Raya celebratory mood. Those who are light on their feet can dance along to cultural dances that will be performed at the Centre Court and Ramlee Mall, throughout the Raya campaign period.

A photo booth is also available for shoppers to take festive photos with loved ones, and complimentary photo print-outs is provided.

At Esplanade KLCC, the 50-ft Pelita Replica that made it into the Malaysia Book of Records in 2022 as the Largest Pelita Replica makes a comeback this year to be showcased along with other traditional Hari Raya elements.

In an ongoing initiative of the Mental Health Awareness programme, Suria KLCC has pledged to support NGO(s) championing mental health through monetary sales of the Suria Ribbon Pin. The ribbon pin can be purchased from the Concierge at RM10 per pin.

Throughout Ramadan, the Concierge Team will hand out ‘kurma’ (dates) in preparation for shoppers to break their fast.

From 30 March until 24 April, shoppers who spend RM1,000 in two receipts at any specialty stores will receive RM100 worth of Suria KLCC Shopping e-Vouchers and a set of exclusive Suria KLCC Raya Packets. The first 100 shoppers who purchase RM1,000 worth of SKLCC e-Vouchers during this festive season campaign will receive an additional RM100 worth of e-Vouchers.
