Sunway Putra Mall broke the Malaysia Book Of Records with the most number of origami rabbits to celebrate this year's Mid-Autumn festival. It was a different shopping experience with the Japanese culture as part of their décor and activities. My son and I enjoyed seeing all the origami rabbits and we learnt to make one too.
‘Tales of the Moonlight’ décor is inspired by a folktale of the ‘Rabbit on the Moon’ where the mall’s visitors will be welcomed with a view of 8,888 origami rabbits displayed in different sizes and colours, surrounded with warm coloured lanterns, and a 14 feet pagoda that resembles the legendary folktale ambience.
In conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival happening from 6 to 24 September, Sunway Putra Mall has been awarded with The Malaysia Book of Records for the ‘Most Number of Origami Rabbits’ under the Human Achievement category as displayed at their Main Concourse.
During the event, The Malaysia Book of Records certificate was presented to MsPhang Sau Lian by The Malaysia Book of Records representative Mr K.Buvanasewaren Naidu A/L Krishnasamy.
