Built around the concept of “Ekstra” — extra value, extra care and extra thoughtfulness — the campaign goes beyond discounts to offer a complete festive shopping experience, covering everything from daily groceries and reunion dinner essentials to rewards, activities and immersive in-store experiences.

    According to Lee May Li, Commercial Director of Lotus’s Malaysia, the campaign is centred on delivering practical value without compromise.
