KUCHING: Voters will get to enjoy a 30 percent discount off their bill at two SugarBun fast food outlets here when they show their finger with the indelible ink on polling day.
The discount programme which applies at the fast food chain outlet at Mile 4, Jalan Penrissen and in Aeon Shopping Mall, Jalan Tun Datuk Patinggi Haji Ahmad Zaidi Adruce, is to encourage more people to come out to exercise their rights and vote on Nov 19.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen said that he was delighted that the franchisee of the two fast food chain outlets, Bernard Chin, had approached him on offering the discount to the customers.
“We are very glad today that the owner of these SugarBun outlets has come forward to initiate a programme to encourage voters to come out to vote.
“Under this programme, his shop will be offering a 30 percent discount on everything they ordered on polling day.
“So after you have got your finger inked, voted, come to SugarBun and buy anything and you will get a 30 percent discount on your bill while stock lasts,” he said.
He said this to reporters in a press conference at the SugarBun, Mile 4 here today (Nov 7).
Chong, who is also the Stampin incumbent, also hoped more business owners could emulate Chin to come out with such an initiative as a way to encourage more people to vote.
Meanwhile, Chin said he hopes by offering such a discount, it will encourage more voters, especially those under 21 years old to come and vote.
“At the same time, I also hope other business owners will also do the same. Probably offer a drink at a price of RM1 for voters on polling day,” he said.
Also present was Bandar Kuching incumbent Dr Kelvin Yii.
