RAYA 2024 – EXPERIENCE THE TRADITIONAL ‘ANYAMAN’ CULTURE AT SURIA KLCC

Suria KLCC, the city’s iconic experiential shopping destination, is inviting shoppers to embark on a journey of cultural immersion

With Hari Raya falling on 10 and 11 April, Suria KLCC is running its joyous 38-day Hari Raya campaign from 15 March to 21 April, themed around the vibrant ‘Anyaman’ (weavings),  creating a picturesque setting reminiscent of a tropical garden.

There is a traditional ‘Rumah Kampung’ adorned with vibrant ‘Anyaman’ elements, symbolising Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage and the Centre Court of the Suria KLCC is transformed into a lush garden that is distinctly Malaysian with cascading bougainvilleas, majestic palm trees, as well as other local tropical foliage and blooms.

Nestled within this idyllic setting stands a traditional ‘Rumah Kampung’ elevated on stilts, creating a focal point steeped in nostalgia. Serving as the perfect backdrop, the scene is adorned with traditional woven crafts, such as baskets, hand fans, and trays. These woven elements in vibrant hues take centre stage to showcase Malaysia’s rich artistry and cultural heritage.

Here, shoppers can try their hands at traditional games like ‘Teng Teng’ (hopscotch), ‘Batu Seremban’, and ‘Congkak’ throughout the Hari Raya campaign. Shoppers can also capture cherished memories at the photobooth, where they receive both complimentary physical print-outs and e-copies. The festive atmosphere is further heightened on weekends with lively cultural performances.

In partnership with Kraftangan Malaysia, Suria KLCC will host activities such as Craft Demonstration and Craft Interactive sessions at the Centre Court, with local craft sales at Level 1, Ramlee Mall from 15 March to 7 April. 

Aligned with Suria KLCC’s enduring dedication to mental health awareness, shoppers who participate in the activities can purchase the Suria Ribbon Pin, priced at RM10 and receive an exclusive batik mask. Proceeds will be directed to support an NGO of choice.

Step outside at the Esplanade KLCC to witness a larger-than-life 60-ft Pelita, a record-holder since 2022, which returns adorned with the intricate artistry of ‘Anyaman’, complemented by enchanting Hari Raya lighting.

Suria KLCC’s festive shopping experience is enhanced with exciting rewards where shoppers spending RM1,500 and above in two receipts from 15 March to 14 April will receive RM100 Suria KLCC Shopping e-Vouchers and a set of exclusive Suria KLCC Raya Packets.

In addition to the rewards, the first 50 shoppers purchasing RM1,000 worth of Suria KLCC Shopping e-Vouchers will receive an additional RM100 e-Vouchers.
