Aman Central 'Knot of Harmony': the Cheap Bazaar Route Ends 31 August — the Tiffin, the 5 September Workshop and RM3,200 Run to 20 September
Aman Central in Alor Setar is running "Knot of Harmony", its Merdeka and Malaysia Day 2026 campaign, from 13 August to 20 September 2026 — and on 1 September it changes shape. The free Merdeka Bazaar and the free Unity in Motion dance performances both end on 31 August, and with the bazaar goes the cheaper route to every gift in the campaign: the exclusive tiffin reverts from RM850 of bazaar spend to RM1,500 mall-wide, and the Muhibbah Knotting Workshop on Saturday 5 September reverts from RM200 to RM350. What survives into September is the RM100 tote, the tiffin, the workshop and a short-video contest with RM3,200 spread across 34 cash prizes. We re-read every campaign page and every piece of campaign artwork on Aman Central's own site on 31 August 2026: nothing has been extended, no Malaysia Day event has been posted, and the mall's "Wave of Harmony" page still carries the wrong description entirely — it repeats the knotting workshop copy, more than two weeks after we first flagged it. One piece of local context decides which September day you should go: Kedah is one of only three states that still runs a Friday-Saturday weekend.
