marks the soft launch of <strong><em>Hoppers<\/em><\/strong>, Hektar Malls very first Kids Club loyalty programme, aimed at building lasting connections with young families beyond the Christmas period. Designed for families and young children, the seasonal d\u00e9cor, carousel festive rides, carolling and dances, transforms familiar malls into joyful festive playground, where children can create, explore, learn together in a safe and welcoming environment. Activities include Christmas ornament-making, Elf hat designing workshop, gingerbread cookie decorating sessions, and Christmas tree decoration contests, allowing children to learn through play while creating shared moments with their families. Participating shoppers will also receive exclusive BRYKS-designed commemorative keepsakes, as a small reminder of their festive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add to the Christmas magic, Subang Parade will feature a special alpaca walkabout and an indoor snow experience, offering families a unique and memorable holiday attraction. These experiences reflect Hektar REIT\u2019s commitment on creating inclusive, joyful and community-focused moments that appeal to visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the festive celebrations, the programme also supports Hektar REIT\u2019s broader focus on keeping its malls lively,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>bringing neighbours together, families recognising one another beyond workplace and school, children play side by side and the festive spirit feels shared rather than staged. Community-led performances, joyful dance segments, dress up moments and workshops into participation from local schools, residents, community groups, creating celebrations that feel heartfelt and personal. All CSR driven initiatives that encourage kindness, generosity and inclusion reinforcing the idea that the heart of the season lies in giving and togetherness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"149\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1.jpg 149w, https:\/\/klhappenings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Picture1-133x150.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Zainal Iskandar, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Hektar Asset Management<\/strong>, said, <a><em>\u201cAt Hektar REIT, we see our malls as more than transactional spaces, they are places where families gather, children learn and communities connect.
