Not only that, the artisanal ice cream specialist also teamed up with homegrown fashion labels Third Culture and Pantun Pins to celebrate their Malaysian origins!

Termed the 'Merdeka Collaboration' in conjunction with Hari Merdeka and Malaysia Day, Third Culture and Pantun Pins launched a Merdeka-exclusive T-shirt as well as a pin design inspired by Softsrve's new flavour and its tagline, "All things are soft before it gets hard".
