government to organize the event, which last year received most
enthusiastic response from shoppers in Jakarta, other parts of Indonesia
and overseas with most malls offering some 70% discounts on attractive
items.
An FJGS Shopper Card will be issued, and
there will be musical stages and other performances presented to
attract the public. This is the time when shoppers can enjoy the best
bargains, relax at sumptuous restaurants while enjoying lively music.
The event will also be an excellent venue to collect Indonesia’s many
