Portuguese settlement amps up its Yuletide celebration
Portuguese settlement amps up its Yuletide celebration
Finishing touches: Theseira adjusting the decorations at the Portuguese settlement in Melaka.
MELAKA: Come rain or shine, the annual Christmas celebrations at the Portuguese settlement here are set to go on and will be even merrier than previous years.
This is the promise made by the residents there and Kampung Attap Christmas’ celebrations joint committee members.
They said the rings of jingle bells would reverberate greater than before at the settlement in Bandar Hilir here.
Martin Theseira, a committee spokesman, said a host of programmes had been lined up to make this Yuletide a memorable one.
He said Christmas would be a lively affair despite the committee being cash-strapped and residents affected by the economic slowdown.
“The spirit of Yuletide will not be dampened and colourful decorations will adorn the settlement just like in previous years.”
Theseira said the settlement would also be the venue for the state-level Christmas celebrations on Dec 31.
“We were told that the state government is allocating RM80,000 for the event, which will further turn the settlement into a Christmas fairyland, ” he said.
Theseira said due to the lack of corporate sponsors, the celebration could not be organised on a grand scale.
“But we will plan a meaningful celebration accordingly with the available funds and resources.”
He expressed hope that Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong would be able to allocate some funds to light up the settlement.
Khoo, he said, was treated to traditional Portuguese dishes when he paid a visit to the settlement on Friday night.
Theseira also commended state executive councillor Datuk Tey Kok Kiew for providing financial support to organise several events for senior citizens and the disabled among the community.
He said the community would also hold prayer sessions on the eve of New Year.
As part of the Christmas celebrations in the settlement, children will also be given toys as Christmas gifts during a special get-together programme.
Portuguese Village Community Management Council head Jacinta Lazaroo said toys worth about RM60 each would be given away.
“We used our own funds to buy these toys. Hopefully, we will be able to organise charity giveaways with the collection through ticket sales during the event.”

In support of inbound tourism - Visa
In support of inbound tourism
Visa has announced its partnership with Mid Valley Megamall. At the event, (from left) Ng, Tourism Malaysia Package Development Division director Syed Yahya Syed Othman, Tourism Malaysia Package Development Division Secretariat Shopping Malaysia head, Norliza Md Zain and Mid Valley City chief executive officer Daniel Yong.
KUALA LUMPUR: In support of Visit Malaysia 2020, and its target of achieving 30 million international tourist arrivals, Visa has unrolled a series of initiatives to promote inbound tourism.
“We have year-long promotions and offers in various parts of Malaysia including Klang Valley, Johor Baru and Penang. Visa cardholders can enjoy discounts and benefits at family attractions such as Legoland, Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark, and KidZania, other outlets like BH Petrol and Swarovski, as well as hospitals such as ParkCity Medical Centre and Subang Jaya Medical Centre,” says Visa country manager for Malaysia, Ng Kong Boon.
Aside from establishing partnerships with such attractions, hotels and dining outlets, the company has also established tie-ups with major shopping malls to roll out attractive promotions in an effort to play its part in promoting Visit Malaysia 2020.
To this end, Visa has announced its partnership with Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur recently on Dec 12. Being the world’s leader in digital payments, this partnership seeks to encourage tourists to use digital payment for their purchases during the festive season.
With this campaign Visa cardholders can make payment with their contactless card for purchases made at Mid Valley Megamall here and The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Baru, to be eligible for redemption gifts. To sweeten the deal, when they shop on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and on the eve of public holidays and on public holidays, they will also receive eco-friendly metal straws and pans as giveaways for transactions about RM200 and RM350 respectively.
For the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration, Visa and Mid Valley will be introducing another campaign from Jan 5, 2020 to Feb 2, 2020 where Visa cardholders will receive Toys “R” Us vouchers when they spend minimum RM350 with their contactless cards.
Ng notes a tremendous growth in adoption of digital payment.
Visa cardholders in Melaka are also in for a treat as Visa has also partnered with Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall, Terminal Pahlawan and Hatten Square. From now till Jan 2, 2020 Visa cardholders will receive a specially designed Barbie canvas shopping bag when they spend minimum RM300 using their contactless cards.
According to Ng, this is part of the effort to propel adoption of digital payment, which has seen a tremendous growth due to the introduction of e-wallets. Furthermore, digital payments are a more convenient and safe way to making payment, as no physical cash is involved and tourists do not need to walk around with a big amount of local currency.
“Many people have the impression that the exchange rate applied when using their cards to make payment in a foreign currency is not as good as what they can get at a money changer. However, this is not necessarily true, as the exchange rate offered by the banks are just as competitive.
“We are extremely excited to promote Malaysia as a tourist destination, especially to our neighbours in Asia Pacific. Based on our data, Singaporeans, Indonesians and the Chinese are the top spenders when they travel to Malaysia. During this festive period, we are partnering with malls frequented by tourists to encourage them to use their payment cards, particularly contactless payments, when they make their purchases here. These promotions are designed to help boost tourism spend as part of the Visit Malaysia 2020 campaign, “ Ng said.

“The number of passengers was encouraging when services resumed after the weather improved.
