MANILA, Philippines - 1Malaysia Mega Sale Carnival (1MMSC), one of Malaysia’s most anticipated shopping events of the year, is back with bigger and better deals as well as a grand prize of a RM100,000 shopping spree.
As the official card of the 11-week shopping extravaganza, MasterCard is presenting its cardholders with an exclusive suite of privileges and great deals, including promotions at the newest malls and trendiest retail stores in Malaysia.
The 1MMSC runs until Aug. 31.
