THE 1Malaysia Year End Sale or 1MYES is here again. From now until Jan 5, shopping centres and retail outlets throughout the country offer irresistible deals and discounts, ranging from 30 to 80 per cent.

With Christmas and New Year around the corner, now's the time to grab great bargains from more than 2,000 participating retailers. MasterCard (Worldwide) holders can enjoy great rewards when they spend at any of the major shopping centres such as The Gardens, Farenheit 88, Publika, Paradigm, and selected merchants in Suria KLCC such as Aigner, Hugo Boss, Marks & Spencer and others.

There are also many opportunities to win attractive prizes in shopping-related contests and activities organised nation wide.

One of them is the YES Shopaholic Award. There are four categories - Top Fun Spender, Top Food Spender, Top Future Spender and Top Fashion Spender - to choose from. Accumulate a maximum of 10 receipts with the highest amount from each outlet at The Mines and you could be the winner.

Shoppers who spend a minimum of RM100 on a single receipt at any outlet at Straits Quay, Penang will get a chance to win a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland.

At CityOne Megamall, Kuching, Sarawak, shoppers stand a chance to drive away a brand new Myvi 1.3 SE (M) by just spending RM30 (S$11.63) in a single receipt at Facelook TM.

The fun extends beyond the shopping centres and markets to hotels, restaurants, tour operators and transport companies which have come together to offer tempting holiday packages, F&B deals and lots more, making 1MYES even more exhilarating.

There is perhaps no better way to end the year than rewarding yourself with an unforgettable shopping spree during 1MYES 2013.
