August 31 is a date that bears a great significance to all Malaysians. The seasonal rise in the nation\u2019s love for its country is attributed to the independence of Malaysia and is fondly referred by Malaysians as Hari Merdeka. At its 58th<\/sup> year, it is only natural for such a significant date to be remembered and celebrated. Hari Merdeka, like any other national holiday or festive season, is a colourful time where the streets are filled with all sorts of seasonal sales and promotions across the country.<\/p>\n

Timing is everything, especially for consumers who need to make big purchases. Knowing the best time to buy something \u2013 from a car to a TV \u2013 goes a long way toward saving big bucks. The best time to shop for a big-ticket item is usually when a newer model is introduced as the older ones will now come with a discount. Or during holiday seasons like Hari Merdeka!<\/p>\n
