KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian businesses and service providers are celebrating the appointment of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the new Prime Minister by offering "PM10" discounts, as well as producing themed merchandise focused on him.
From dental services to custommade T-shirts, the Pakatan Harapan chairman's appointment is being celebrated like no other, a stark contrast from the previous elections. Many online retailers are offering a 10 per cent discount with the code "PM10".
"I don't recall seeing so many PM10-themed until he became PM.
I even bought myself a PM10 sanitiser," information technology executive Salbiah Ibrahim, 34, told The Straits Times.
Vintage Custom Shop has customised lighters.
