Mall raises funds for tsunami victims

JAKARTA: Mal Taman Anggrek in West Jakarta in cooperation with the Singapore Indonesia Business Association is holding a Sharity Fair from Jan. 18 through Feb. 13.

The fair is offering various products, accessories and food to celebrate Chinese New Year, or locally known as Imlek, which falls on Feb. 9.

"A part of the money earned from the fair will be donated to the tsunami victims of Aceh and North Sumatra," the mall operator said in a statement on Thursday.

The mall has also extended its opening hours until Feb. 8 for late shoppers.

The traditional dragon dance, or barongsai, will highlight the New Year celebration in the mall. -- JP
