For shoppers, it's difficult to imagine a more relaxing and
varied retail retreat than Malaysia. There's something to suit
every taste, whether it's the energising chaos of street markets or
the refinement of designer boutiques.
In KL shoppers are spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping
centres - a direct result of the Malaysian passion with shopping.
Everything from a Hermes scarf to locally crafted shoes can be
picked up for considerably less than in New Zealand. But it's the
sales periods that make shopping in Malaysia particularly enticing.
There are sales for all kinds of things, even to celebrate the
Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The biggest of all the sales periods is called the Mega Sale,
which is held at the end of the year, and is the best time for the
serious shopper to head to Malaysia. This amazing event is a chance
to enjoy the benefits of department stores trying to outdo each
other's price cuts while offering shoppers wildly generous amounts
of gifts with every purchase.
