KL offers shoppers a brilliant experience! The choice is almost overwhelming!

Don't miss the Shopping Carnival an annual sale which takes place every October/November in KL and major cities.

Malacca is most famous for its sale of antiques when it comes to shopping. However, there is a fine balance with modern shops and malls if you're looking for designer brands. Handicrafts and cultural souvenirs are also found in abundance, so you'll always have something to bring home for remembrance.
