10 Amazing Merdeka Sales You Can't Miss

So our beloved neighbor, Singapore, recently celebrated their nation’s 50^th birthday with “SG50” clouding everything in our sight. Now, our National Day happens to be just around the corner and in conjunction with said special day, tons of merchants in the e-commerce universe are having some pretty awesome merdeka sales campaigns, offering their customers a wide variety of products and services at nothing short of incredible prices. As a smart consumer, I think it wise to be on the lookout for massive sales which online stores tend to have whenever there are big national events such as Chinese New Year and Hari Raya; our National Day happens to be one of these big events too. After much scouting the web, I have found 10 of the biggest merdeka-related sales which I think you ought not to miss.

Lazada’s Mega Merdeka Madness Sale

In the world of e-shopping, Lazada is pretty well-known for frequently having huge sales campaigns in conjunction with a related special event. As Lazada is the biggest online shopping mall in Malaysia, it is easier to get what you need all (under one roof *cross this out*) in one site. Their Mega Merdeka Sale sees sales of up to 90% off with absolutely free shipping to West Malaysia (now who doesn’t love anything free?), giving you more than enough reason to shop during this patriotic month of August. The page separates the sale items into four categories for easier navigation: electronics, home, fashion and health, beauty and family. However, it is a waste that vouchers are not applicable on items featured in this campaign.

Tip: Pay with your MasterCard on Monday; Maybank card on Wednesday; HSBC card on Thursdays and Fridays; and CIMB card on weekends to enjoy 10% OFF selected products on each day respectively.

ZALORA’s Merdeka Yard Sale

Next on the list is ZALORA, an e-commerce fashion store well-known not only in Malaysia, but in most of the Southeast Asian region. This year, ZALORA is having a Merdeka Yard Sale where many, many incredible pieces are made available to you with discounts of up to 58%. Among the many brands being featured are Steve Madden, Nine West, Lee and Swiss Polo. Besides the many international renowned brands, local designer labels (for women) are also aplenty; Jovian Mandagie, Rizalman Ibrahim and Woo/Fiziwoo to name a few.

Tip: Pay with your MasterCard on Thursdays to get an additional 7% OFF on top of the already discounted items.

FashionValet’s Merdeka Sale

FashionValet is Malaysia’s first online fashion store and was founded in 2010 with the aim of bringing the latest trends in the fashion world right to your doorstep. In conjunction with our National Day, FashionValet is having a Merdeka Sale with discounts of up to 31% with brands such as Malaya Co. and Gin&Jacqie. Up till the 31^st of August, you’ll be able to enjoy 10% off all Malaya Co. products which are already pretty limited. If you can’t seem to get enough of bags and happen to have a love for animals, Gin&Jacqie is giving all FashionValet customers 31% OFF everything under the Love Malaysia collection. Other brands featured are A A L E and Chasing Diana. Now, go give your local labels some love and support!

Ensogo’s 58^th Merdeka Madness Celebration

Ensogo is well known for offering a wide array of products and deals at irresistible prices and their Merdeka Madness Celebration is where you can find their best-sellers at the best prices out there. Some products you can find during this mad sale would be home furniture and deco such as the best-selling multi-functional wardrobe and 3D superhero wall lights. On the other hand, you can also enjoy the best food and going-out deals from only RM5. Get hotel-stays, food and beverage deals and theme-park deals for less. Looks like you’ve got your long weekend getaway planned out already (wink)!

I bet you guys are as excited as these two minions ;)

Tudung2u’s Jualan Lelong Merdeka Ekstravaganza

Now this store is one that muslimahs should watch out for. Tudung2u happens to be the biggest tudung online store in Malaysia with the trendiest and most up-to-date fashion styles for headscarves. Trust me when I say that you can get any sort of headscarf at this store; you’ll spoil yourself silly with the variety of headscarves made available to you. Tudung2u’s Merdeka Sale will be seeing over 300 headscarves and shawls on sale beginning from as low as RM5 and not exceeding RM44, displaying brands such as EDZ, Dania Bawal, tous jours and many more.

Photobook’s Merdeka Madness

If you have not yet heard of this awesome store, you should take the opportunity now to discover what they have to offer. It is at Photobook Malaysia where you can create and personalize lovely handmade photobooks to capture your memories in.  A reason why Photobook is a favorite of many is due to its wide array of templates and the flexibility of ‘buying now, creating later’. Enjoy massive discounts of up to 70% off photo books, wall décor, stationery, cards and prints during their Merdeka Madness campaign. The best part of it all is that shipping is free-of-charge!

All you have to do is purchase two items to enjoy 20% off; three items to enjoy 30% off; and if you purchase 4 items and above – 50% off! However, you will need to use voucher codes to enjoy the discounts so don’t forget to use ‘em upon checkout. This discount promo is also not applicable to Amnig’s Bon Zainal Collection.

AirAsiaGo’s Merdeka Sale

In my humble opinion, AirAsiaGo is a little underrated and doesn’t receive the credit it deserves. In case you are unfamiliar with AirAsiaGo, it offers a wide selection of hotels, activities and travel services to meet budgets of sorts at competitive rates – which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Of course, they are not falling short of a Merdeka Sale campaign and are offering customers up to 58% off flights and hotel packages. Among the few countries you can travel to via AirAsiaGo are Thailand, China and Australia. Booking period is from 24^th August till 4^th September and you can begin travelling immediately until 31^st January 2016.

Qoo10’s 58^th Merdeka Mega Sale

Qoo10 is fairly new in Malaysia’s world of e-commerce but is widely recognized in Singapore. It is an online marketplace which provides a platform for merchants to sell their products to potential customers. Their 58^th Merdeka Mega Sale is a pretty big one with up to a whopping 97% off; they’re having a “Shocking Hour” sub-sale which offers you the very best deals from between 5PM to 12 midnight; the “Negaraku Shop” sub-sale which presents the most incredible deals from local dealers with free shipping; and of course, the most-wanted exclusive giveaways with you getting free cart and shipping coupons. All you have to do is download them and voila – it’s time to shop!
