00:00Vehicles crawling along congested roads, shoppers circling endlessly for parking,
00:08crowded walkways, and sales assistants serving both physical and virtual customers.
00:13This is the daily scene at Bangi Central as Hari Raya approaches and shopping reaches its peak.
00:19Despite the hustle, many returning shoppers say Bangi Central is an
00:25unmissable stop for their annual Raya preparations.
00:28I came here for the Raya preparations.
00:31My wife and daughter came here.
00:34We come from Kuantan.
00:36We came here because we knew we would come here.
00:42This place is well-known and famous here.
00:44It's a popular place, so we went here.
00:46There are a lot of places here, a lot of choices.
00:49The price is also good, interesting.
00:51The price is beautiful here.
00:53I came here at 10.30am.
00:57I usually go to Bangi Central because there are a lot of choices here.
01:05There are a lot of Malay clothes.
01:06It's easier for us to choose.
01:09For the preparation for this year's Raya, I bought a lot of Malay clothes.
01:16I think the price is still the same as last year and there are no changes.
01:22There are some changes for me.
01:24We arrived around 11am.
01:28We came early to avoid the crowd, but it's still crowded.
01:33But it's fine, it's a festive season, so we cherish the moments.
01:38If you find a low price here, you can look for other reasonable or high-end products.
01:48It's quite accommodating, it's quite easy to find around here.
01:52This is our first Raya together as husband and wife, so we're looking for matching clothes.
02:00With the last week before Hari Raya approaching, traders are gearing up for a surge in customers,
02:05especially those shopping after receiving their paychecks.
02:09The reception is amazing.
02:11We can see that the presence of the customers is also inspiring.
02:18I can't comment on the increase or decrease in sales, but we can see that there are a lot of people.
02:24Like last year, they said there would be more people in 4-3 days before Raya.
02:28Usually, our shop will be full normally 6-7 days before Raya.
02:36For the time being, we have prepared our team to stand by for the last-minute crowd.
02:42And maybe this year we will have a proposal for customer safe checkout.
02:47Because we have an online store, we have apps, right?
02:51So from the apps, we can do a safe checkout.
02:54So they can do a safe checkout and just pick up the goods here.
02:57So we are educating our customers to make it smoother.
03:03According to traders, burgundy, teal blue, silver grey, pink and sandy brown
03:09are among the most sought-after colours this Raya season.
03:12As the final shopping days approach,
03:14Bangi Central remains the go-to destination for families preparing for the festivities.
