your shopping for the festive? In conjunction with Ramadhan and Hari Raya
Aidilfitri, Sunway Putra Mall has launched their ‘Klasik Raya’ event with a
blast.

Taking centre stage at the main concourse is a magnificent
60’s theatre or affectionately known back then as ‘Panggung’ surrounded by
quaint vintage shop house, a vintage car and oil lamps as to complimenting the
final look. The theme for this year brings shoppers back to the heydays of 60’s
when vintage and modish were the rage.
To start off the festive season, the mall invited media and
bloggers together with 30 Yayasan Chow Kit (YCK) children for an early Raya
celebration. Classic songs were played to greet the guests as they crowd around
the Main Concourse, captivated by the illuminating decorations.
