Jusco Shopping Centre has been well known because its privilege card. The discount card or J Card can offer customers with exciting shopping promotions, discounts and exclusive gift redemption programme. It is one of the main attractions as customers can redeem their points for something.

Another coming specialty of Jusco is because of its MaxValue Market. The new PASAR RAYA MaxValu (formerly known as D’HATI) reflects on their concepts of providing ‘maximum value’ to all customers in terms of quality of goods, value-for-money prices, product freshness, assortment, and customer service. However, the stores are still very limited at certain neighborhood around Malaysia.

How many Jusco are there in Johor Bahru so far? There are four respective branches of Jusco around Johor Bahru. One is AEON Tebrau City Shopping Centre (picture below) which located at:

No 1, Jalan Desa Tebrau Taman Desa Tebrau 81100 Johor Bahru Johor.

It is one of the biggest shopping centre where there is cinema situated at the upper floor. Besides, there is one established Jusco at Taman University, Skudai (picture below) somewhere around Jalan Pendidikan. Even though the place do not has cinema as the main attractions, it becomes a place for mostly UTM students and staff gather and grab their necessities.

The two other Jusco are just new established in JB. One is Jusco Bukit Indah and the other is Jusco Permas Jaya. The addresses of both locations are as follow:

JUSCO Bukit Indah, Ground Mezzanine (above)
No. 8, Jalan Indah 15/2, Bukit Indah,
81200 Johor Bahru, Johor.

6 ways U can contribute (pick one):

1. Become a Volunteer and help distribute flyers/pamphlets/leaflets and coax/usher the crowd to donate blood.

2. Become a Blood Donor – donate your OWN blood. (no draculas around)

3. Become A Donor or Sponsor (monetary funds, other stuff, etc)

4. Send in someone as Your Representative (ask your children/relative/friend to become a Volunteer on your behalf)

5. Promote to Your Colleagues at Your Workplace n ask All to Donate Blood at any Jusco Nationwide. Check if Your Company/Workplace provides any incentives for blood donation in terms of cash rewards, this could help.

6. Promote to Just About Everyone You Know, and make sure they come.

Pick any one of the 6 options above, and let’s get involved (I’m saying this bcos I got lukewarm response so far. If We do something, let’s do it well. If not I won’t bother), why don’t we do this, it’s only once a year, if each and everyone gives some form of support, it will be an Overwhelming Success, an even bigger success compared to if we didn’t give it our support. And, it may turn out just like how we did it at the bowling the other day, right? Many of us were there…, it was like a one big happy family )

To continue…The Volunteer’s main objective/duty is to pull in as many people from the crowd as possible to donate their blood, and usher in potential blood donors to a professional team of doctors and paramedics from the Blood Bank. The Volunteer will be given flyers/pamphlets/leaflets (I’ve attached the flyer in this email) and is required to distribute to passers-by at entrances/strategic locations around Jusco and 1-Utama. The Volunteer does not need to donate their blood (if takut etc) but if they do, it is a big bonus. Abang 10Jen had personally done it about 7 times, and he said it is always a thrill to do it again and again. When the blood donor finishes the process, they are required to rest for a few minutes and then beverages such as milo drink and biscuits, plus iron supplements, are served to them, and a Certificate from the Ministry of Health is also given to acknowledge their contribution (Blood Donors may claim from their workplace/companies if they have this incentive). Also, the nurses will record on their record booklets of ardent/frequent donors. If we have some monetary funds (so far no donors/sponsors have come forward yet, donation from our batch75 is most welcome), we may be able to employ part-timers for flyers distribution (if we are still short of volunteers to cover the distribution of flyers at all busy entrances), make the place a lively one, with side activities in order to attract the crowd.

If you are Volunteer, when you approach the potential blood donor, an adult between the ages of about 20-51 years of age, you may say something like this (i.e. the below is the Script Guideline):

Assalamu’alaikum or Hi, Sir/Madam/Encik/Puan/Cik/Adik, would u like to donate blood to the blood bank? The country is in need of blood, especially before the festive season since many accidents happen during this blood. Lets help save lives….they could be someone you know, or your friends or relatives. (…or something like that..ok?)
