MIRI: Folk here are already on a shopping spree ahead of the Christmas celebration and the new school year.
In addition to that, long queues have been forming at the Sungai Tujuh immigration checkpoint since last Friday.
Some well-known shopping malls here have seen a dramatic increase in shoppers, as people shopped for new clothes for the coming festive season.
Promotional events launched by different malls offering gifts and discounts have also attracted a large number of shoppers.
However, some have decided to keep it ‘moderate’ during this festive period and Caroline Siburat has been cautious with her Christmas shopping list.
“I have prepared a list, but my priority is to my son who will be entering Primary One next year,” she said.
