The Waterfront Shoppes opened in Gelugor, Penang, on Thursday 29 October. Drivers can park free for up to five hours until 30 November.
Shoppers who spend RM200 can also enter a lucky draw that runs until 3 January. We previewed the mall before it opened.
Here is how to claim the free parking, how the draw works and what is on this weekend.
How the free parking works
The offer covers up to five hours of parking per entry. It runs from 29 October to 30 November, the mall says.
First, you must enter with a bank card or a Touch ’n Go card. The offer applies only to vehicles that enter with one of those two.
Also, the offer is for the opening celebration period only. After 30 November, normal parking rates should apply, so check the mall before you go.
Next, scan the QR code at the Concierge Counter on the ground floor of Campbell Court. Then register your vehicle details.
Finally, leave with the same payment method you used to enter. The mall adds that other terms and conditions may apply.
The mall has about 2,500 parking bays across four levels, its website says. It also has bays for electric vehicles.
Drivers can reach it directly from the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway. The address is No. 1A, Persiaran Chin Fung Kee, Gelugor.
How the lucky draw works
The Opening Rewards campaign runs from 29 October to 3 January 2027, according to the mall.
To qualify, spend RM200 or more in a maximum of two receipts from the same day. Then take the receipts to the Concierge Counter.
Staff will register your entry and give you a card with a serial number. Keep the original receipts and the card until the winners are announced.
The top prize is a Proton e.MAS 7 Premium. Others include a Maldives travel voucher for two and return flights for two from Penang to Shanghai.
The mall says each qualifying spend earns one entry. Shoppers who spend more may therefore enter more than once, but check the full terms first.
There are also luggage sets, smart watches, earphones and pharmacy vouchers. The mall puts the total prize value at up to RM200,000.
Entrants must be Malaysian citizens aged 17 or older. The mall has not published the draw dates, so watch its social media for the results.
What is on this weekend
The mall is hosting a free Halloween Fest from 30 October to 1 November, its event page says.
Highlights include a haunted house, a costume competition and free Halloween makeup. There is also a pop-up market, trick-or-treat activities and a Squid Game walkabout.
Entry to the fest is free. In addition, DJs and a live band will perform. The page gives no hourly schedule, so check on the day.
Two other events run alongside it. Movie Under The Stars runs from 30 October to 1 November. The POP MART CRYBABY installation runs from 29 October to 1 November.
Families can also try the Xventure adventure park, which we reported on earlier.
The Waterfront Shoppes is open from 10am to 10pm daily. For questions, email [email protected] or call 04-240 6868.
Penang is also growing its air links. For example, Hainan Airlines now links Haikou to Penang.
