I think
it’s wonderful to introduce the children of today to the colourful characters
of Sesame Street where generations of youngsters were educated in identifying
the alphabets, counting numbers, friendship and good family values through play
and fun.
It was
like reliving my childhood again when I was at R&F Mall JB to see the
entertaining and interactive activities for children and to meet with live-size
character mascots for Elmo and the Cookie Monster.
The main
concourse of R&F Mall JB was transformed into a giant Sesame Street
playland that features popular Sesame Street 3D characters like Elmo, the
Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, and even Oscar the Grouch in his dustbin!

There is
a giant inflatable playground where kids aged between five and 12 years may
enjoy the slides and dive into a colourful ball pool.
Every
weekend in June, visitors may look forward to meeting with Elmo and the Cookie
Monster live-size characters at their appearances at 1pm, 3pm and 7pm and grab
the opportunity for photos with these lovable mascots.
There are
kids colouring activities to enjoy and exclusive Sesame Street merchandise on
sale during this celebration month.
On Level
One, located just next to the entrance to the CIQ Link Bridge, meet the largest
Elmo inflatable display in South East Asia, who is ready for more photo
opportunities.

“We are
delighted to partner with Sesame Workshop in celebrating Sesame Street’s 50th
anniversary this holiday season,” said R&F Mall JB Marketing Director,
Daphne Tan.
“Sesame
Street has been on air for half a century and we believe that this evergreen TV
show will not only appeal to kids but also to adults who are young-at-heart,”
she added.
R&F
Mall JB, the first shopping mall opened by R&F Princess Cove Malaysia,
officially opened its doors in March 2019.
The mall
is strategically located close to the Singapore-Malaysia Customs Immigration
Quarantine (CIQ) in JB and just one km away from the causeway that links
Singapore and Malaysia.
