Announcing the achievement, MR D.I.Y. Group Head of Marketing, Alex Goh said, “We are proud to be accorded this award by Frost & Sullivan for the third time in as many years. This is indeed great recognition of the work that we do everyday, and it also demonstrates that we continue to stay relevant to Malaysians with our promise of “Always Low Prices”.

This award goes out to them.”
“This month, as we celebrate Malaysia’s 65th Merdeka, we also celebrate the opening of our 1,000th store. We have come a long way since we opened our first store in 2005.
