Its managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin was clear in stating that this is not a political campaign.
'We want the people to vote for our brands. That's what this campaign is about, a collaboration with our supplier partners who are rolling out exciting deals and rewards totalling RM6.8 million.
'Think of it as a campaign where brands are the candidates, campaigning to become the elected representative for their constituencies. But they have to stand out.
'It's not about just any promotion, it's about being distinct and creative. There's healthy competition, and that's the fun of it,' he shared this during a special press conference with media partners at Mydin Hypermarket Subang Jaya on Tuesday.

He emphasised that, just like politicians make promises during elections, brands in this campaign will be judged on what they deliver.
The ultimate goal remains simple, to support Malaysians by offering meaningful savings and value.
Adding a unique twist, Mydin customers will get the chance to 'vote' for their favourite brands in a mock-election setting. A total of 26 Parliamentary seats and 85 State Assembly seats will be contested.
Voting begins on July 24 and runs until Aug 31 2025, with every in-store purchase of a participating brand's product counting as one physical vote.
This fun and creative campaign is all about giving back, with loads of great deals and exciting rewards.
From Sept 1 to 16, 2025, customers can cast their votes digitally via the Mydin Rewards app. The brand with the highest votes in each category will be honoured as the YB, Yang Berhormat (The Honourable Brand).
To make the campaign even more rewarding, Mydin is launching three major initiatives:
People's rewards
From Sept 1 to 16 2025, those voting through the Mydin Rewards app stand a chance to win vouchers and cashback exceeding RM400,000.
People's cashback
From July 25 to Oct 5 2025, shoppers using selected e-wallets including Atome, Boost, MCash, SPayLater, Shopback, and Setel will enjoy discounts and cashback totalling RM300,000 across all Mydin outlets.
People's fortune
Customers who vote for their chosen products will unlock exclusive promotions and discounts worth up to RM1.68 million, along with competitions, special brand collaborations, and access to the Cash Out game via Mydin Pay.
A total of 26 parliamentary seats and 85 state assembly (DUN) seats are up for grabs.
The Mydin General Election Campaign 2025 runs from July 24 to Oct 6 2025 at all Mydin stores nationwide and on the Mydin online platform.
The final election results will be announced on Sept 18 2025.
Ameer also called on brands to run ethical and transparent campaigns.
'Don't backstab. Campaign honestly. Keep your promises. If you make a manifesto, stick to it and use social media wisely.
'Most importantly, to our loyal customers, this is your chance to vote with your purchases and support the brands you believe in,' he added.
This isn't just a sale, it's a movement. One where the people choose the brands that truly deliver.

Malaysia Reiterates Ceasefire Call On Thailand-Cambodia Conflict
PUTRAJAYA, July 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has reiterated its appeal to Thailand and Cambodia to exercise maximum restraint, undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine peace efforts. As the Chair of ASEAN 2025, Malaysia said it is deeply concerned over the escalation between the two nations, which has resulted in increasing casualties on both sides, destruction of public property, and the displacement of a large number of people along the border areas. 'We reiterate our appeal to both sides to exercise maximum restraint and undertake an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and refrain from taking any action that may undermine it,' Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said in a statement Saturday. bootstrap slideshow He further urged both sides to return to the negotiating table to restore peace and stability based on the spirit of the ASEAN family, unity, and good neighbourliness. 'We stand ready to continue our work through the good offices of the ASEAN Chair in facilitating both immediate neighbours and fellow members of ASEAN to resume talks and end the fighting,' he added. In the latest development, Malaysia will continue engaging with the leaders of both states to propose a peace process in response to the border conflict between the two countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai had expressed appreciation for his initiative to propose a peace process and a ceasefire. On Friday, Anwar said the government does not take lightly the ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia and its impact on Malaysia. Tensions between the two Southeast Asian nations have been escalating since May 28 following a deadly incident in the Preah Vihear area that claimed the life of a Cambodian soldier.

Armizan proposes allowing RM100 Sara credit to be used at mobile Rahmah sales locations
RANAU: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) has proposed allowing the RM100 Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) credit to be used at mobile Madani Rahmah Sales locations. Its minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the proposal aims to improve access for communities in rural and remote areas, who may otherwise struggle to redeem the aid due to limited fixed retail premises in their districts. At present, there are 4,152 authorised premises nationwide where the credit can be used, including only 470 in Sabah. These are mostly permanent outlets such as supermarkets approved under the Finance Ministry. 'To reach more people, especially those outside urban centres, we are propose that Sara redemptions can be made at mobile Rahmah Sales locations,' he said at the ministry's carnival and Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign in Ranau, Saturday (July 26). 'These mobile outlets include sales of local Malaysian products and essential items, and are regularly deployed across rural districts. We believe expanding redemption options beyond the fixed premises would significantly improve access, particularly in Sabah,' he added. The RM100 Sara credit — a one-off cashless aid credited to MyKad starting Aug 31 — is open to all Malaysians aged 18 and above. It is part of an additional RM2bil allocation announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 23, bringing the total allocation under Sara and Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) to RM15bil this year. The expansion of mobile Madani Rahmah Sales is supported by an additional RM300mil allocation under the government's Payung Rahmah initiative. The Cost of Living Ministry is targeting 20,000 mobile Rahmah sales sessions nationwide this year, with 2,276 planned for Sabah alone. Between January and July, 1,089 sessions have already been carried out in the state. As of July 2025, Sabah has received RM410mil in STR aid for 830,000 recipients, while RM500mil in Sara assistance has been disbursed to 506,000 people. The carnival and KBBM in Ranau is part of a broader outreach initiative to promote local products, reduce import dependency, and bring government services directly to grassroots communities. 'This is not just about aid distribution, but strengthening our local economy and empowering micro and small enterprises,' Armizan said.

BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 (Bernama) -- A total of 220 entrepreneurs from the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) will take part in the Mega 3 Dimensional Carnival (MK3D) from July 30 to August 3 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) here.
