Private sector operators participating in this event include retailers and wholesalers, department stores, hypermarket, supermarket, and convenience stores totalling over 20,000 outlets.
The products will be discounted by up to 70 per cent, such as food and beverages, kitchenware, electrical appliances, clothes, construction materials, bedclothes, cosmetics, stationery, furniture and home decorations, as well as tyres and car equipment for which service fees will be discounted by 10 to 30 per cent.
