Date: 12 May 2013 Mother’s Day is celebrated internationally on the second Sunday of May and just like most cities, it is celebrated widely in Penang by people of different cultures and background. This celebration honours motherhood and is a day to show appreciation to all mothers. The most common practice in Penang is for Penangites to bring their mothers out for a dinner with the family at a restaurant. However, people with different ethnic cultures may celebrate it differently. Just like any other celebration in Penang, Mother’s Day is celebrated with enthusiasm and its festive mood can be felt at most public places especially at shopping complexes, hotels and restaurants. The Penang State Tourism Development and Culture Committee would like to wish all mothers a very Happy Mother’s Day! This Sunday, Queensbay Mall will also be organising a “Mummy and Me” photo moment at 2.00pm. This charity event encourages shoppers to make a difference by going a step further to support local single mothers. This is a simple promise-and-challenge fundraising campaign where RM2,000 will be donated to Women’s Centre for Change (WCC) if 100 shoppers join the “Mummy & Me” Photo Moment. To join, shoppers need to spend RM100 (maximum in 2 receipts) at any outlets in Queensbay Mall and register at the Info Counter, Ground Floor, Centre Zone, and capture a Mother’s Day photo. Participants will receive one 5R-sized photo with a frame and a stalk of pink daisy. In addition, participants can stand a chance to win one of the five lucky draw prizes worth RM100 comprising of products from The Body Shop.
