“We owe our success to the public for their loyalty and support. When they are in need, it’s only proper that we support them,” said Aruldoss, adding that the retailer was prepared to help more charity organisations
This year’s recipients were Rumah Victory Children and Youth Home, Yayasan Sunbeams Home, Beautiful Gates Foundation, Pusat Jagaan Insan Istimewa and Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation.

Interestingly, the bedding segment has contributed strongly to Malaysia’s overall exports with the export of mattresses reported at RM300.2mil last year compared with RM282.8mil in 2014.
“In the coming years, I am confident that the bedding segment will benefit and I am hopeful that Malaysian manufacturers will further diversify and expand to other new and emerging markets,” said Ong.
