JAKARTA - The simultaneous regional elections today are not only an important moment for democratic parties, but also an opportunity for all Indonesians to enjoy discount parties in more than 400 shopping centers throughout Indonesia.

The discount party titled 'King Fun' will offer a massive discount of between 10-50 percent that day.

Daily Executive (Plh) General Chairperson of the Indonesian Shopping Center Retailers and Tenants Association (Hippindo) as well as Chairman of the 2024 Communion Program Committee Fetty Kwartati said that this discount program is an appreciation for all people who have exercised their voting rights in the 2024 simultaneous regional elections.

"What is the ranking fun? Of course it is related to the appreciation that we have all exercised our respective rights to vote," Fetty said at a press conference at the Kota Kasablanka Mall, Tebet, South Jakarta, Wednesday, November 27.

This strategy is not the first time this has been done. The previous experience showed a discount after the general election (election) succeeded in attracting the public to visit shopping centers.

This event has been held three times, namely during the 2019 Presidential Election (Pilpres), the 2024 Presidential Election and the 2024 simultaneous regional elections.

"From ourselves, this is an event that should continue to be carried out. Because this is a form of joint celebration. Why? First, because the goal is also good and finally the transaction or the community's economy can be improved with all of us spending our money, spending our time, to advance the Indonesian economy as well as the retail industry and shopping centers," he said.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Indonesian Shopping Center Management Association (APPBI) Alphonzus Widjaja also welcomed this program. He said the discount or discount given by retailers and shopping centers was not only aimed at reducing the number of golput, but also to support the recovery of purchasing power for the lower middle class.

"So, I think this event is the momentum of the first step to move the retail industry. Because there is a regional election on November 27, then it will be continued in December ahead of Christmas and New Year's 2025. Continued with Chinese New Year, then Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr because of Ramadan, right, next year will progress. So in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, we are optimistic that the retail industry should improve," he said.

The discount party program will certainly present various types of promos, both from retailers and shopping centers.

Each shopping center will present a special program, while the main discount will be provided by retailers.
