To celebrate this jolly festive season, Sunway Malls collectively launched their unifying Christmas theme ‘My Christmas Story’ at Sunway Velocity Mall today. The launch marked the start of the mall group’s month-long campaign across its seven physical malls and one digital mall.
The celebration began with a welcome speech by HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Malls & Theme Parks followed by an official campaign launch with the various Sunway Malls centre managers – Phang Sau Lian, Senior General Manager of Sunway Velocity Mall; Jason Chin, Senior General Manager of Sunway Pyramid; Chai Wen Yew, General Manager of Sunway Carnival Mall; Danny Lee, General Manager of Sunway Putra Mall; Albert Cheok, Assistant General Manager of Sunway Giza Mall, and Loo Hoey Theen, General Manager of Sunway Malls Marketing, Business Innovation, and eMall.
The opening gambit saw HC Chan together with the centre managers waving their magic wands to bring the giant storybook to life accompanied by the magnificent lighting-up of the centrepiece “Threads of Tale” Christmas tree, a majestic 40 feet upcycled fabric Christmas tree at the mall’s Main Atrium.
The launch also witnessed the certification by The Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as a national record for the tallest upcycled fabric Christmas tree standing at 40 feet high.
The certificate was officially presented to HC Chan and Phang Sau Lian by MBR officials and witnessed by Nik Suzila and Sarah Kedah, founders of Kloth Circularity and Andrew Jackson, the Head of Business Development of Life Line Clothing Malaysia.
Also present at the event were partners L’Occitane, llao llao and Sunway College & STYLO, Fashion Design Technology Hub.
The creation of Malaysia’s tallest upcycled fabric Christmas tree saw a public donation drive over two months which resulted in the collection of 1.7 tonnes of unwanted fabrics from the various Kloth Cares recycling bins in Sunway Velocity Mall. The unwanted fabrics were then passed on to Life Line Clothing Malaysia for sorting and processing. Suitable fabrics were selected, cut and sewn to build the upcycled Christmas tree.
Additionally, hand-made fabric ornaments by the students of Sunway College & STYLO, Fashion Design Technology Hub were also added in. The core structure of the tree and vine stripes made from recycled paper were also used, making it an entirely sustainable project. The decoration inspired by Jack & the Bean Stalk was a testament to relentlessness in finding solutions in every situation.
“Sunway Malls has endeavoured to incorporate the reuse of materials or sources from sustainable sources for our festive decorations. This is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in which Sunway is a staunch advocate,” said HC Chan.
“As a leading mall group with 26 years in business, we take cognizance of the importance these opportunities offer to serve and create wonderful moments for our surrounding communities,” he added.
Sunway Malls “My Christmas Story”‘ pays homage to storybooks and storytelling. The mall group has recreated different experiences with different stories coming to life at all its malls with giant book displays in story town-themed décor.
Shoppers will be able to walk into books or experiential rooms hidden in a book and discover a variety of stories. Shoppers are also encouraged to share their own unique stories and #sunwaymalls on social media.
