Pacific After the 58th Anniversary Shop & Win: Free RM10-RM50 Gift Voucher to 20 September, Cash Vouchers Expire 30 September
The Store Group's 58th Anniversary Shop & Win closed to entries on 16 September 2026, and its entry site now says the contest has ended and results are coming. Pacific moved on the same day. Until 20 September its department stores hand out a free RM10, RM30 or RM50 gift voucher when you spend RM150, RM300 or RM500 in up to three receipts on one day, next to a six-page Weekend Sale with luggage from RM109 and bedsheet sets from RM31. Pacific Grocer runs a five-day Value Promo with RM5 vegetables and RM6.99 Ramly fries, plus a 24-page mailer to 30 September that includes a member-get-member drive worth 300 points each. We read every poster and did the maths. The voucher tiers are bands, so RM300 earns three times what RM290 does. Diapers, cosmetics and groceries do not count. The voucher expires on 27 September. The 300 points are worth RM1.50. Any contest cash voucher still in your wallet is worthless after 30 September.

7 Best Cafés & Specialty Coffee Spots in Kota Bharu, Kelantan (2026): Ghibli Coffee Has Closed and Kopi Mesin Is Down to One Outlet
Kota Bharu is not just nasi kerabu and nasi dagang — the East Coast capital has a genuine café scene, from Kelantan's first third-wave coffee bar to a working in-house roastery. We re-opened every listing on 8 September 2026 and two things had changed: Ghibli Coffee announced its own closure and traded for the last time on 30 June 2026, and Kopi Mesin, which we described as a four-outlet chain, is down to a single shop in Kubang Kerian.
