Bataras Promotion Now: Sipitang Hypermarket Grand Opening Deals to 7 Oct 2026 — and Why the Expired Merdeka Catalogue Is Still Online
Update 24 September 2026: the only live Bataras prices right now are at the new Bataras Hypermarket Sipitang, which opened today with daily RM1, 50 sen, 20 sen and 10 sen doorbusters to 27 September and a Harga Gempak list valid to 7 October, all printed "Sipitang only". Bataras' Merdeka Bersama, Jimat Bersama catalogue ran from 28 August to 8 September 2026 across 58 named outlets in Sabah and Labuan. It has now expired — and when we re-checked on 9 September, the day after, nothing had replaced it and nothing had been taken down. bataras.com still serves all eight flyer pages, the site's media library has accepted no upload since 28 August at 2.29pm, and every dated card on the official Facebook page still reads "Sah Sehingga 08/09/2026". The prices are still on screen and none of them is valid. Two things came out of that re-check that were not in the catalogue at all: a Facebook-only price list carrying Econsave house-brand stock on Sabah shelves, which is the plainest evidence yet of the May 2025 takeover, and KAMI PATUH, Bataras' standing written promise to honour the lower price when the shelf label and the till disagree.
