Padini Is Clearing Out The Spring Kuching From RM9 Before It Shuts for Renovation
Padini Concept Store at The Spring Kuching started a renovation clearance on 10 September 2026 with stock from RM9, then closes temporarily for renovation. Padini has published no end date and no product list, and the poster's fine print is the whole rulebook: only valid at The Spring Kuching, no reservation, no refund, while stocks last. We read Padini's own store locator and its online catalogue this run. Only three of the 131 items on Padini's Concept Store page cost under RM20, and once this shop shuts, Kuching is left with a single Padini Concept Store.
Everrise 33rd Anniversary RM100,000 Contest, 4 September to 31 December 2026: RM100 in One Receipt Enters You
Everrise's 33rd Anniversary flyers of 3 and 4 September carried a gold star reading "THE MORE YOU SPEND, THE MORE YOU WIN WORTH RM100,000" with no mechanic printed anywhere, and this article first read it as a supplier campaign. Everrise has since printed the rules on its 5 and 6 September sheets, and the contest is its own: 4 September to 31 December 2026, at all outlets, members who spend RM100 in a single receipt storewide, for a grand prize of RM10,000 cash, a first prize of RM5,000 cash and two Disney Cruise special prizes. QL Eggs' Beli & Menang Telur Emas, 1 August to 30 September 2026 on a minimum RM15 of QL products, is a separate contest on the same paper. The three-day members' price list ran 4 to 6 September at 19 of Everrise's 21 stores, and the four regional sheets do not agree with each other: PediaSure 1650g is RM204.99 in Kuching and RM194.99 in Miri and Bintulu. A separate one-day Members' Best Value sheet then ran on 6 September at 8 of the 14 Kuching stores and beat the anniversary sheet in the same shop on several lines.
Car Rental in Kuching 2026: The RM90 Headline, the RM5,000 Excess, and the Ring Around the City You Cannot Drive Out Of
Kuching is one of the cheapest places in Malaysia to rent a car and one of the easiest places to misread the bill. Eight operators publish daily rates and the cheapest headline is RM75 a day, but the daily rate is the smallest number in the contract. Two bigger ones sit underneath it. The first is the damage excess: Alpha and Wagons both print an accident liability of RM5,000 on a compact car and RM13,000 to RM14,000 on a van or a luxury MPV, and buying it down costs RM40 to RM150 a day and only halves it. The second is geography. A Kuching rental car is contractually confined to a ring covering Kuching town, Kota Samarahan, Bau, Lundu, Sematan and Serian, and driving past it to Sibu costs RM300, to Miri RM600 and to Limbang or Lawas RM1,000, with a RM500 penalty at one operator for going without asking. We read all eight rate cards and every published set of terms this run.
Everrise Members' Weekend and Merdeka Flash Sale, 28-31 August 2026: the Sarawak Price List for Kuching, Miri and Bintulu
Everrise posted four Members' Weekend flyers on 27 August 2026, and three of them are Sarawak. Kuching gets 14 stores, Miri gets three and Bintulu gets one, all running Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August. Every price on those sheets is member-only, and since April 2026 "member" means you open the Grab app at the till. Here is what the Sarawak flyers actually cost, where Kuching, Miri and Bintulu disagree, the two outlets that are not in it at all, the three side campaigns riding on the same paper -- and, added on 29 August, the three further flyers Everrise posted on 28 August, including a Bintulu government Rahmah Madani sale that undercuts the members-only price on five lines. Updated 31 August: the weekend is over, and a one-day Merdeka Flash Sale has replaced it at only 11 of the 18 stores.
