Kuala Lumpur, 4 May - Pavilion shopping centre experienced a remarkable milestone on Labour Day as it welcomed its highest number of visitors since the first half of the year.
Pavilion shopping centre's Labour Day promotion, which offered exclusive discounts, complimentary gifts and other perks to visitors who spent a minimum amount, was a significant drawcard. Watsons is offering 20%-50% off most of their skincare products, while Parkson is offering RM100 off a purchase of RM700 or more.
A shop assistant, Chew Lan who works at Parkson, said: “That was a really busy day for us. We had discounts on a lot of products and we also offered gift cards for customers who spent a certain amount on Labour Day. Although the work is hard, It was great to see so many people coming in and enjoying the shopping centre.”

These discounts and promotions not only increase turnover on Labour Day, but also enhance the shopping experience for visitors, and the visitors were eager to take advantage of the deals and experience the diverse range of retail, dining and entertainment offerings on offer.
The pavilion is also hosting a variety of activities and entertainment options during the Labour Day promotion period.
Visitors can enjoy live performances by local artists, participate in art and craft workshops, or take part in interactive games and contests.
“When I was tired of shopping, I was able to enjoy the free Malay dance performance in the shopping centre, which was very relaxing and memorable,” said Zhang Hongpin, an international student from China.
