Don Don Donki Sunway Pyramid Closing Down On 31st July; Offering Discount Up To 30%

Don Don Donki Sunway Pyramid Closing Down On 31st July; Offering Discount Up To 30%

Hype Malaysia16-07-2025
Another one bites the dust. Just two months after closing down its Nu Sentral outlet, Japanese discount store chain Don Don Donki will close its outlet at Sunway Pyramid by the end of the month.
Reports of the closure emerged after shoppers noticed a sign outside the store. The sign read, 'We Are Moving' in large font, with an explanation below. The store announced that it would be moving its business location effective 31st July 2025 (Thursday). At the same time, Don Don Donki also thanked customers for their support throughout the store's operations. At the same time, it invites the public to shop at its other outlets.
Customers who visited the store after the announcement received confirmation from staff about the closure. As part of the closure, the store is also holding a clearance sale with discounts ranging from 15% to 30% on all products, excluding perishables and delica. While unconfirmed, there are also reports that the store is moving to the Lot 10 Shopping Mall branch in Bukit Bintang.
This closure marks the fourth Don Don Donki outlet to cease operations since the company entered the Malaysian market in 2020. Since then, the company has established several outlets in the Klang Valley, including at Nu Sentral and IOI City Mall. Unfortunately, four out of six outlets have closed down, leaving only the Lot 10 Shopping Mall and Mid Valley Megamall outlets in operation.
Netizens have shared mixed reactions to the closure. While some were surprised to learn that Don Don Donki is closing yet another branch in Malaysia, some argued that it was to be expected, given the lack of crowds. However, it's worth noting that the Sunway Pyramid outlet underwent a revamp in March, relaunching its store with a new layout and wider selection of items.
Only time will tell the future of Don Don Donki in Malaysia, but let's try to enjoy the store while it's still here. If you're looking for good deals on Japanese treats, make sure to visit Don Don Donki in Sunway Pyramid before the end of the month.

Malaysia agrees to boost tech, LNG purchases from U.S. as part of trade deal

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will spend up to US$150bil in the next five years to buy equipment from U.S. multinationals for its semiconductor, aerospace and data centre sectors, part of a deal with Washington to cut tariffs, its trade minister said on Monday. The United States announced last week that it would impose a 19% tariff on Malaysia starting from August 8, lower than a 25% levy threatened last month. State energy firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS) will buy liquefied natural gas worth US$3.4bil a year, while Malaysia will commit to US$70bil in cross-border investments in the United States over the next five years to address the trade imbalance between the two countries, minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz told parliament. The United States ran a goods trade deficit with Malaysia of US$24.8bil in 2024, government data showed. Tengku Zafrul said the two countries were finalising a joint statement covering the commitments made, following weeks of negotiations over the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. "Despite expecting lower tariff rates, the ministry believes that these negotiations have succeeded in achieving a result that is reasonable with the offers made by Malaysia," Tengku Zafrul said. Other concessions by Malaysia include reducing or abolishing duties on 98.4% of U.S. imports, the easing of some non-tariff barriers, and the removal of a requirement for U.S. social media platforms and cloud service providers to contribute part of their Malaysian revenues to a state fund. Last week, Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia had secured tariff exemptions on its pharmaceutical products and semiconductors exported to the United States, and was seeking further cut-outs for commodities such as cocoa, rubber and palm oil. On Monday, however, he warned that semiconductor chips may still be subject to additional tariffs under U.S. laws based on national security reasons. "Therefore, we need to continue to be prepared for any possible additional tariffs imposed on the semiconductor industry," he said. - Reuters

Palm oil reserves in Malaysia seen surging to 19-month high

Palm oil inventories in Malaysia climbed to the highest level since December 2023 as production in the world's second-biggest grower rebounded, according to a Bloomberg survey. Prices in Kuala Lumpur declined. Stockpiles surged almost 10% from a month earlier to 2.23 million tons in July, a fifth month of gains, the median of 12 estimates in the poll of plantation executives, traders and analysts showed. Estimates of higher supplies in the Southeast Asian nation, coupled with sluggish demand from overseas buyers, could weigh on benchmark prices at a time of the high production cycle, which typically peaks in October. Still, a brighter outlook for purchases from top buyer India ahead of local festivals, as well as robust biodiesel consumption in Indonesia, has cushioned prices recently. Benchmark palm oil futures fell 1.7% to 4,175 ringgit a ton by the midday break on Monday, the lowest intraday level in more than two weeks. That followed an increase of more than 6% in July - the biggest monthly jump since February. Crude palm oil production last month rose 8.3% to 1.83 million tons, the highest level in 11 months, the survey showed. That compared with a decline of 4.5% in June. Exports increased 3.2%, according to the poll. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board will publish its monthly data on August 11. Stockpiles are expected to rise due to a jump in Malaysian production and lower domestic consumption in July, said Anilkumar Bagani, head of research at Mumbai-based Sunvin Group. Still, a level above 2 million tons during the peak production season may not be too "burdensome to prices,' especially when Indonesian palm oil supplies are tight because of high blending rates with petroleum, he said. - Bloomberg

Tycoon who brought F1 to Singapore pleads guilty in graft case

Singapore-based billionaire Ong Beng Seng was charged in October last year with helping former transport minister S. Iswaran cover up evidence in a graft investigation. 04 Aug 2025 04:12pm Malaysian hotel tycoon Ong Beng Seng (L) leaves the State Court in Singapore on August 4, 2025.

(Photo by Roslan RAHMAN / AFP) SINGAPORE - A Malaysian hotel tycoon who helped bring Formula One to Singapore pleaded guilty Monday to abetting the obstruction of justice, in a rare corruption case in the city-state that saw a former transport minister jailed last year. Singapore-based billionaire Ong Beng Seng, 79, was charged in October last year with helping former transport minister S. Iswaran cover up evidence in a graft investigation. He was also accused of showering Iswaran with lavish gifts including tickets to the 2017 Singapore Formula One Grand Prix, flights on a private jet, business class travel, and a luxury hotel stay while Iswaran was working in his official capacity. Ong entered his guilty plea from a glass-encased dock at a district court in downtown Singapore on Monday. Prosecutors sought a two-month jail term after Ong agreed to plead guilty. He will be sentenced on August 15. But prosecutors also agreed with defence lawyers that the court could show "judicial mercy" -- which could further reduce any sentence. Defence lawyers pleaded for clemency, saying their septuagenarian client suffered from a litany of serious ailments, including an incurable form of cancer. They asked for a "stiff fine" instead of actual jail time. "The risks to Mr Ong's life increase dramatically in prison," lawyer Cavinder Bull told the court, saying prison could not give his client sufficient care. "This man is living on the edge," Bull added. The trial of Malaysia-born Ong had attracted significant media attention due to his links with Iswaran and the affluent city-state's reputation as one of the world's least corrupt nations. Ong owns Singapore-based Hotel Properties Limited and is the rights holder to the Singapore Grand Prix Formula One race. He and Iswaran were instrumental in bringing the Formula One night race on a street circuit to Singapore in 2008. In July 2023, Ong was arrested as part of a graft probe involving Iswaran and was subsequently released on bail. In October last year, Iswaran was jailed for 12 months after he pleaded guilty to accepting illegal gifts worth more than Sg$400,000 ($310,000). He was also found guilty of obstructing justice, in the city-state's first political graft trial in nearly half a century. Iswaran completed serving his sentence on June 6. - AFP More Like This
