IPC Shopping Centre Introduces a New Retail and Lifestyle Experience through Lagom Life - A Balanced Way to Shop, Eat, and Connect
IPC introduces a new lifestyle concept that brings harmony to how you explore, indulge, and connect – not too much, not too little, just enough. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- IPC Shopping Centre introduces The Lagom Life – a refreshed brand positioning inspired by the Swedish philosophy of living with balance, simplicity, and purpose. Rooted in the idea of "just the right amount", the centre's new direction embraces a sustainable lifestyle that encourages visitors to slow down, savour the moment, and shop with meaning. A Place Where Simplicity Meets Purpose Whether it's family-first missioners looking to meet household needs while enjoying child-friendly spaces like playgrounds and play areas; outgoing status seekers in search of exciting new food options, unique experiences according to their passion, and the thrill of discovering what's new; or creative adventurers seeking a convenient weekday retreat for grocery runs, moments of relaxation, and weekend discoveries with loved ones - The Lagom Life is designed for all. "Life today can feel overwhelmingly fast-paced – from juggling work, family, or even something as simple as a grocery run," said Karyn Lim, General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre. "That's why we believe in offering a more balanced, intentional alternative. IPC is a place where simplicity meets purpose – where you can reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and your community in a meaningful way. At IPC Shopping Centre, we offer a balanced and sustainably-driven shopping experience where everyone who steps foot into the shopping centre can enjoy curated choices that meet their needs and desires." "More than just a shopping destination, we are a meeting place where simplicity meets purpose, providing offerings in a blissful, comfortable, and well-curated environment. Whether visitors are looking for a pleasant day out with family and friends or simply some well-deserved me-time, IPC delivers an experience that is both meaningful through our offerings and rewarding through our Tack Club loyalty programme on the IPC App that is designed to truly appreciate every presence," she added. The Lagom Life, It's Just Right From revitalised dining experiences and a sustainable retail mix to inclusive spaces and community-focused initiatives, IPC is more than just a shopping centre — it's a meeting place where everyday life flows with intention and ease. Over the years, IPC Shopping Centre has steadily refined its offerings by constantly identifying new experiences to meet the evolving needs of consumers. Recent additions like Canton Boy, FUIYOH! It's UNCLE ROGER, Chagee, and Luckin Coffee bring trending new flavours to IPC's dining scene. These new additions join crowd favourites such as ChaTraMue, Manjoe Taiwanese Dumplings, Taste of Medan and llao llao.

DIY Plus, Good Times DIY & Lifestyle Studio and Play United. IPC is also set to welcome the Brio Social Club, home to seven indoor pickleball courts to encourage healthy living and more meaningful connections with friends and family. Additionally, six Tesla EV chargers, of which four are Superchargers and two are Destination Chargers, will also be available in the third quarter, offering EV drivers greater convenience during their visits. Together, these enhancements reflect IPC's commitment to being a stress-free, balanced destination in the fast-paced urban life. Paired with IPC's "just right" scale and discernibly curated tenant mix, the centre also offers a purposeful, stress free experience that supports both practical needs and the pursuit of sustainable living. Staying true to its commitment to both the people and the planet, IPC also encourages conscious and sustainable living habits with the Recycling and Buy-Back Centre (RBBC) and weekend artisanal & eco-workshops during festivities and celebrations, making recycling easier, more accessible, and rewarding. Tenants such as H&M shares the same vision and offer in-store clothing recycling program for shoppers to drop off their unwanted clothes with ease.

Selangor to enforce ‘No Plastic Bag Day' across all 12 local councils by early 2026
KLANG, July 6 — The Selangor government is in the final phase of amending the relevant by-laws to standardise the implementation of the No Plastic Bag Day initiative across all 12 local authorities (PBTs) in the state. State Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said the move was part of a three-pronged approach to systematically and comprehensively address the plastic pollution in the state. 'The amendment process is expected to be completed this year, with wider enforcement of the No Plastic Bag Day to begin early next year,' she said in her speech during the Plastic Free Campaign Series 2 2025, officiated by Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari here today. Jamaliah said the state government would forge strategic partnerships with various parties to ensure the success of the plastic-free campaign. 'For example, present with us today are various parties who play an important role in tackling plastic pollution through awareness initiatives, recycling innovations, upcycling efforts and the provision of environmentally friendly alternatives, thereby supporting a sustainable and plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. Meanwhile, Jamaliah said the state government would continue to strengthen efforts to promote a plastic-free and environmentally friendly lifestyle through initiatives at the PBT level, as well as collaborations with schools and educational institutions in Selangor. 'Recognising that many parties in the state are actively working to reduce plastic use, the portal, which is currently being updated, will serve as a platform to bring together strategic partners and coordinate participation in the plastic-free campaign. 'Through this platform, organisers such as PBTs and schools can collaborate with non-governmental organisations, companies, social entrepreneurs and local communities, thereby encouraging the sharing of information, ideas and resources towards making a plastic-free lifestyle a daily practice among the people of Selangor,' she said. On the campaign, Jamaliah said the programme, which was first held in Sepang in May, was carried out without the use of plastic, relying instead on environmentally friendly and reusable materials to raise participants' awareness of the importance of caring for the environment. 'We will move to the next location, Sabak Bernam, on August 23 with the same spirit, a determination to break free from plastic dependence, and a commitment to a cleaner environment and to fostering a plastic-free lifestyle,' she said. — Bernama
