The campaign, which involves all Mydin outlets nationwide, strives to reduce the burden of communities by offering discounts and special promotions.
Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin said various promotions and activities would be held during the campaign.
“Mydin being a local brand has gone through various difficulties, good moments and challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As such, we will offer various promotions to reduce the burden caused by the rising cost of living,” he said.
Ameer explained that they would also be organising various contests with the support of the campaign’s strategic partners, with prizes worth RM1mil up for grabs.
“We will collaborate with 84 strategic partners, such as MyDebit, Atome, P&G, Shopee and Boost for our 65th anniversary celebrations.
“However, the main partner for our BMP campaign is the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry,” he said.
Customers who spend RM100 and above using MyDebit ATM card (in a single receipt) stand a chance to win items worth RM1,000 or Mydin cash vouchers.
“We will give RM1,000 to 65 main prize winners to buy basic necessities, while 650 people will get Mydin vouchers worth RM300. About 20 people will get Mydin vouchers worth RM2,000 for the ‘MyDebit Je dan Menang’ contest,” he said.

On the BMP campaign, Ameer said they wanted to revive local businesses, especially the small and medium enterprises affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We will have a special place for these products at our malls’ concourse to provide more visibility. We want to support smaller players and give them opportunities.
“We are also trying to support companies with unbranded products, as we want to help them survive these difficult times.”
Ameer said government agencies and those who wanted to help needy groups could include local products in the aid packages given out by them.
Additionally, he said Mydin would create opportunities for new entrepreneurs to expand their businesses and penetrate new market segments through the “Pitch to Win” contest.
“We want to give opportunity to new entrepreneurs to introduce their products through the Pitch to Win contest.
“We will select three main winners who will qualify for our total marketing packages worth RM100,000,” he elaborated.
