Sungei Wang Plaza transports you to a tropical forest flower village
this Ramadan. From now until 17 April 2024, be mesmerized by the unique floral theme, “Botanika
Raya” which combines both traditional and modern Raya elements around trendy fashion, traditional
music and arts.
A life-sized bull-cart at the Main Entrance will transport you back to the olden days. Marching into the
Centre Court is a traditional village setting where a sturdy ‘kampong’ house is surrounded by vibrant
flowers including the national flower, the Hibiscus blooming proudly among the bushes. It’s a lively
moment at the Centre Court where Raya preparations are ongoing with Bamboo filled rice (Lemangs)
lining in a row, a decorated pondok ready to host the guest and a comfortable child-friendly round
shaped swing ready to row. A decorated giant crescent moon structure is one of the centerpieces of
this setup which is synonym with Ramadan and the beginning of Raya celebrations. Throughout the
mall, the atmosphere is illuminated by shimmering lights fashioned in the shape of moons and stars,
complemented by an array of tropical flowers and decorations, lending a touch of enchantment to
every corner.
The General Manager of Sungei Wang Plaza, Mr. Joseph Teo said, “The Botanika Raya" campaign at
Sungei Wang Plaza rekindles the nostalgic olden days where it is important to embrace modernization
while preserving traditions, culture and nature. In this Holy month, we have curated a unique festive
ambience, complete with a bustling Blooming Raya Market, artistic redemptions, and engaging
performances that embody the spirit of this Ramadan.”
