KUALA LUMPUR: About 30,000 hearty cheers for Merdeka echoed across 763 Tealive stores throughout Malaysia including three loud ones from Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid during the Kopi Merdeka programme organised by Tealive at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur here today.
Through the Kopi Merdeka programme customers who proclaimed ‘Merdeka’ three times at its stores nationwide will be given free cups of coffee, limited to the first 10,000 customers today.
Rosol who officiated the event today said Tealive’s Kopi Merdeka programme was a good initiative to boost the spirit of the upcoming National Day celebrations.
“Love for the country can be expressed in many forms. Although this ‘Kopi Merdeka’ programme looks simple, I hope it boosts the patriotism and love for the country, especially among youngsters.
“I also encourage all of us as ‘Keluarga Malaysia’ to play our part in preserving the harmony, love, respect and togetherness in our nation, as underlined by the National Day celebration theme of ‘Keluarga Malaysia, Teguh Bersama’,” he said during a press conference after officiating the event by proclaiming ‘Merdeka’ three times.
Meanwhile, Loob Holding Sdn Bhd founder and chief executive officer Bryan Loo said besides the free coffee redemption programme today, Tealive is also offering a 31 per cent rebate for their signature coffee until Aug 31.
“We thought of building up patriotic fervour among Malaysians in the run-up to Merdeka Day on Aug 31. We are all humbled by Datuk Rosol’s presence at our concept store and this is a tremendous show of support for our programme.
“Once again, we are truly thankful to our loyal Tealive fans for their continuous support which has motivated us to grow in Malaysia and overseas.
“Thanks to them, we will be opening our 800th store next month and enhancing our lead as the top regional lifestyle tea brand,” he added. – BERNAMA
