Tropicana Gardens Mall, the retail arm of Tropicana Corporation Berhad, entered into an exclusive partnership with the ShopeePay e-wallet and leading Malaysian artiste association Persatuan Karyawan Malaysia (“Karyawan”). The partnership will enhance retail and digital payment experiences across its facilities, just in time for the Ramadhan festive season.

Running from 11 April to 9 May 2022, the collaboration with ShopeePay offers enticing rewards for Tropicana shoppers using its ShopeePay e-wallet for digital payments throughout Tropicana Gardens Mall. In addition, Karyawan will showcase its support and promote local talents at the mall’s centre court, serenading visitors with easy-listening jazz rhythms until 30 April 2022.

Andrew Ashvin, Managing Director of Tropicana’s Group Assets Management division shared more on the partnership and Tropicana’s goal to bring people together as borders reopen in the new normal.

“It’s a new day for Malaysia, and Tropicana is excited to greet it together with our partners, ShopeePay and Karyawan. With our focus on Redefining the Art of Shopping, we cater to consumer preferences towards digital payments through cashback and gift redemptions for all ShopeePay transactions at our mall. We also provide a platform for Karyawan to bring people together through the medium of music and art as Malaysians reconnect and strive towards a new normal in the endemic phase, in line with evolving retail trends favouring experiential engagement,” he said.

Through Tropicana’s partnership with ShopeePay, existing ShopeePay users will receive RM3 cashbackfor every RM15 ShopeePay transaction at Tropicana Gardens Mall, while new users will receive RM5. Shoppers can also redeem Shopee green packets with every RM50 ShopeePay transaction, and an exclusive dining bowl set for every RM100 transaction.

“As the number of e-wallet users in Malaysia continuous to grow positively, this partnership with Tropicana Gardens Mall is timely. For the Ramadhan period and upcoming festive celebrations, shoppers can easily transact offline at their favourite brands or stores using ShopeePay on their Shopee app. For youths aged 18-20 years old, when they activate and claim their RM150 ePemula credit using ShopeePay, they will receive an additional RM500 vouchers that can be utilised both offline and online across a range of merchants. Many of the merchants include partners within malls like Tropicana Gardens Mall,” said Alain Yee, Head of ShopeePay Malaysia.

At the same time, the collaboration with Karyawan sees diverse local talents such as Don Guerzo & Headwind, Rozita Rohaizad, Salimah Mahmood and Zubira taking centre stage at Tropicana Gardens Mall. The performances run the gamut from Don Guerzo’s skilful stylings on keyboard and piano to Rozita’s soulful vocals, as well as traditional Raya melodies. Other routines include two-piece bands belting out Top 40 repertoires, as well as lively caricature drawings for passersby.

“Local entertainers have faced challenging times since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Through our collaboration with Tropicana, which is in its second year now, we are pleased to have a platform for Malaysian artistes to showcase their talents to an appreciative audience. We welcome and invite further collaborations in this vein, towards a more inclusive society for all,” said Freddie Fernandez, President of Karyawan.
