Who say Malaysian has no buying power?

It's JCard Day (Jusco Card Members Day) at Bandar Bukit Raja, Klang yesterday. I was there with my wife and my daugther to buy my second baby neccessities. We remembered when JCard day is held at Bukit Tinggi with 5000 parking spaces, the parking is still not enough for the shoppers. So we wondered what's going to happen for a smaller Jusco like Bukit Raja. The difference between normal sales and JCard Day is that every purchase of RM100 at Jusco, you get RM10 Jusco voucher. Moreover, they topped up 10-20% discount on top of 50-70% items, i.e. 50%+10% or 70%+10% for example. Moreover, retailers other than Jusco joins to discount their items. Basically the whole shopping centre is having sales 10%-70%.

We actually went one day before to make booking for items we need. So we just need to collect and pay on the real day (yesterday). We found the crowd was ok only so we thought it's going to be poor this time. The next day, we went after work at about 6pm. Parking was the first thing to worry but we managed to get one wihtin minutes. The crowd was moderate. We guessed we went at the right time because most people are having their dinner. Moreover, Jusco has prepared more counters for payment. We colleced our things and paid. The line was short and we've done it quick.

1-2 hours later, more crowds are coming and it's gigantic. Their cash was like no limit until the trolley is damage due to overload. It may not be norm to some, but I saw shoppers buying 15-20 bags of Fab laundry powder, 5-10 bottles of 5L Dynamo Liquid. But honestly, things are very cheap yesterday.

We left at about 8pm and we were still seeing cars queuing from the entrance to the highway at the far back. So you see, who say Malaysian has no buying power.
