With their Kiriman Raya theme, the Curve is throwing it back old school for the Raya celebrations this year, evoking nostalgia feels for timeless traditions

Paying homage to the age-old tradition of thoughtful gifting, the Curve promises an enchanting experience filled with cherished moments, from now until 14 April.

Inspired by the historic Pejabat Pos Bukit Rotan, the Ground Floor of the Curve will transform into a traditional kampung, showcasing a vibrant tapestry of shared moments. The Centre Court will be home to its very own Pos Malaysia service counter, various retro haven shops, and a bustling Raya bazaar.

You'll even be able to send your Raya cards and goodies to your loved ones through the Pos Malaysia mailbox and courier services on the weekends.

The mall has been awarded the title of 'The Most Extensive Display of Raya Greeting Cards' by the Malaysian Book of Records for showcasing over 10,000 Raya greeting cards, recognising it as the largest display of its kind in Malaysia

Spread out throughout the mall, the display is meant to revive tradition, reminding everyone to celebrate the long-forgotten custom of sending physical greeting cards to loved ones during Raya.

The best part is that these Raya cards won't go to waste, as they will later be repurposed for upcoming creative children's art workshops, collages, and other activities, in line with the Curve's sustainability efforts.
