Meaningful collaborations that give back
MyTOWN stated that this year, Weaves of Gratitude supports community empowerment and meaningful causes such as:
- Komuniti Tukang Jahit (KTJ): Together with KTJ, MyTOWN presents exclusive handmade patchwork redemptions, crafted by single mothers and B40 women. Each creation represents a story of resilience and care – offering these women sustainable income opportunities.
- Golden Hope Campaign: In collaboration with 22 students from Dasein Academy of Art, this initiative aims to raise funds for children bravely battling cancer, “helping to restore their smiles and childhood joys”.

Celebrating MyTOWN’s eight anniversary: Growing with our community
MyTOWN Shopping Centre general manager Azhan Che Mat said as the mall marks its eighth year, MyTOWN Shopping Centre proudly welcomes new tenants, reaching 98% occupancy with exciting brands such as New Era, Uncle Roger, Pandora and Arrowmatika. It also announced the opening of IDEAS Academy last week, a dedicated learning space for 400 students. This milestone reflects the mall’s ongoing commitment to being more than a shopping destination – a thriving hub for community, education and connection.
“We are honoured to work with KTJ and support their efforts in empowering women, as well as being part of the Golden Hope Campaign to bring joy to children in need. Giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to contribute through our corporate social responsibility initiatives.
“This year’s patchwork theme brings back memories of our grandmothers, who lovingly stitched together pieces of fabric to create something meaningful. Through Weaves of Gratitude, we hope to rekindle those cherished traditions and create a space where everyone can come together, celebrate and make lasting memories. As we mark our 8th anniversary and welcome new tenants, we remain committed to providing a dynamic and inclusive space for all.”
