Bandar Seri Begawan - Thousands of people, some waiting for three hours, thronged the grand opening of the "Midnight Crazy Sales" in one of the biggest textiles stores in the Sultanate last Saturday night.

"It was a huge crowd and we came as early as 7pm," said Hjh Norhayati. She added all her family members waited for more than three hours for the "midnight sale,"

More than 5,000 people flocked to the Nazmi Textile Mall, which slashed prices to rock bottom.

Thousands were stuck at the main door before entering the Mall, and police personnel had to control the crowd.

Most were attracted to the free Sahur buffet offered at Faize Restaurant. Some even came with more than 10 family members to dine and they said they were very satisfied. The seven-hour Midnight Crazy Sale kicked off at 10 pm and every single people left with a huge smile, when it ended at 4am.

"This was a good opportunity and it will encourage our people not to fly abroad and this offer came at a good time when the festive celebration is around the corner," said Hj Badaruddin.

This will help the country's economy and stop our money from flowing into neighbouring countries, he said.
