During this festive period, they would appreciate having some company as it gives them the assurance that there are others who are looking out for them. We at 7-Eleven Malaysia strongly believe in uplifting the lives of those who need us, and knowing the positive impact we make encourages us to continue our endeavours of being Always There For You.”
