Shell is allowing ‘buka puasa’ delights to be sold at 950 of its petrol stations
From 4th May until 23rd May 2020, Malaysians will be able to purchase a variety of Ramadan local delights such as Nasi Campur, Nasi Beriani, Asam Laksa, various selections of local Kuih, Murtabak, Bubur Lambuk, drinks and many other local delicacies at 950 Shell stations nationwide for takeaway.
A quick check by us at two Shell stations in our neighbourhood, we are not seeing the Ramadan fare on sale at the time of publishing this news release.
Apart from these pre-packed Ramadan delicacies, customers are also able to make it a combo along with Shell SELECT and deli2go favourite snacks and beverages at promotional prices, starting from as low as RM6.
Rising to the call to participate in the #RamadanWithShell initiative is Shell Station retailer in Pontian, Johor, Siti Zubaidah who invited Azizah, a local vendor to sell her kuih at the station.
“When I was informed about the #RamadanWithShell campaign, Azizah’s offering came to mind. Her spread of local kuih are delicious and I was extremely excited to provide Azizah a platform to sell her Ramadan delicacies,” said Zubaidah.
“I am extremely thankful to Puan Zubaidah and Shell for inviting me to sell my selections of local kuih during this Ramadan month. With the movement control in place which can make it difficult for small businesses like mine to thrive, this initiative by Shell is a welcome help as I am able to continue selling my kuih here at the Shell Station,” said Azizah, a single mother with 5 kids.
Part-time vendor Mazlan and his 14-year-old son Mohd Alif Mazlan said, “In the beginning, we were rather worried for this year’s Ramadan. Every year we would sell Air Tebu at the local Ramadan bazaar, and things looked bleak this year without the yearly Ramadan bazaar. Thankfully, with the Shell initiative, we are able to sell about 30-40 bottles of Air Tebu a day at Shell Station Inderapura in Kuantan, Pahang. Thanks to Shell for helping us through this difficult time and providing us the avenue to promote our product.”
Azizah, Mazlan and his son are amongst the many vendors who are participating in the #RamadanWithShell campaign nationwide to market their goods at Shell stations until 23rd May 2020.
