The Curve shopping mall showcased their Chinese New Year decorations to ring in the Year of the Ox with 1960s vibes.
From Jan 9 to Feb 14, visitors to the Curve can stroll down memory lane, with its nostalgic Treasures of Yesteryears theme that is inspired by iconic scenes of 1960s Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
Visitors can relive memories of yesteryears as they step through the intricate Chinese archway at the mall’s centre court. Reminiscent of a time when people would flock to Chinatown to usher in the Lunar New Year, they can enjoy the nostalgia-themed experience, complete with artistic street murals, and cherry blossoms and bamboo plants completing the decor. A feature point of the Chinese New Year decor is the traditional lantern-lit bridge inspired by heritage lane “Kwai Chai Hong”.
While the decorations are up, it will be a quieter festival. There will be no dance musical showcase and lion dance performance this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
The Curve senior general manager Jazmi Kamarudin said, “In light of the MCO 2.0 situation, we have made adjustments to our Chinese New Year campaign for curbing the spread of coronavirus that continues to impact Malaysians. We are still doing our part to celebrate with our thematic festive decor that will greet visitors to the Curve. However, we will no longer have the much-anticipated festive musical performance and lion dance.”
Jazmi added, “To ensure the safety of all those at the mall, the Curve management continues to implement strict SOP during this time. The public can also rest assured the mall is cleaned and surface disinfected several times a day. We ask that all patrons on our premises observe the SOP, shop responsibly and stay safe.”
Exclusive for this festive period only, shoppers who spend a minimum of RM388 in a maximum of two receipts will be able to redeem an auspicious ceramic bowl which is available in five colours. While those who spend a minimum of RM188 in a maximum of two receipts will be able to redeem Huat-Huat angpow packets.
