THE M3ANING OF FRI3NDSHIP

On This Day:

Brunei ~

A friend is friendly, happy, and playful, too. A friend doesn't yell at you. You play with each other all the time.

You try not to fight with a friend. You help each other when you get hurt.

A friend is a person who comes and won't judge a flower by its color.

A person who will never give up on you.

A person who will comfort you when storms of tears are in your mind.

A person who will just have some fun with you and give you a good laugh.'

A person that doesn't mind expressing their happy or sad feelings to you.

A friend is someone you can depend on. Someone who you can talk to. A friend could be anything like a person, dog or cat. Whatever a friend is it doesn't matter as long as it's your friend. Many people don't know that. A friend is a friend and that's all that matters.

A friend is someone who is spectacular! You love them deep down inside your heart. Someone who helps you when you are hurt or sad, or even if you're happy.

A friend is someone who is kind to you and knows how you feel when you are scared.

A friend is someone who cares and helps you when you are in trouble or when you are hurt.

A friend comes in different ways.

A friend will always remember you in their heart and you will remember them, too.

GIANT HYPERMARKET is a major supermarket and retailer chain in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. It is a subsidiary of Dairy Farm International (DFI) .

Giant is a 60-year old Malaysian brand built on its ability to deliver low prices everyday to consumers, which started by the Teng family as a simple grocery store in one of the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur in 1944. Its mission was to offer a wide variety of products at the lowest possible prices. As its reputation grew, so did its business.

DFI, which acquired Giant in 1999, recognised that the key to Giant’s success had been its ability to continuously offer value for money products. It retained this core principle even as it began transforming Giant into a national and international brand.

Today, after six years of intensive efforts which included redesigning the stores, the introduction of the non-food products into the Giant hypermarkets, the implementation of international retail standards that includes safety, cleanliness, structured training and a vibrant shopping environment as well as centralized buying functions and improved operations, DFI has made Giant the undisputed leader in Malaysia’s retail sector.

DFI currently operates a total of 220 stores, comprising Giant hypermarket and supermarkets, Guardian pharmacies and Cold Storage supermarkets. Most of which mushroomed in the last six years.

The chain also includes 6 stores in Singapore and 17 hypermarkets in Indonesia. Giant hypermarkets offer a wide range of local merchandise, such as fresh local fruits, vegetables, and seafood within a wet market environment (http://www.giant.com.my/en-US/About+Us).

On this date March 22, 2008, the first Giant Hypermarket in Brunei Darussalam has opened its door at Kg Rimba.

I heard from a colleague that there was a very long queue along the highway and he also said that his friend was unable to go home for lunch as his house was on the same road to the Giant. WOW! I was so surprised to hear about it. He (my colleague) said "Iatah orang Brunei tu..." without explained it further and I assumed I understood what he meant......

So happy shopping & Welcome to Brunei, GIANT!
