They say that people come and go, but some friendships can last a lifetime.
Malaysians were swept away by a wave of melancholy when MYDIN – Malaysia’s largest halal hypermarket chain – bid a farewell to an “old friend” to send a warm “hello” to its new neighbor/competitor, Lotus’s Malaysia.
In a quick correspondence on Facebook, the two hypermarkets were seen exchanging greetings to one another following Tesco Malaysia’s rebrand to Lotus’s.

“Cheerio. Ol’ friend. Sawadee and a warm welcome to our new neighbour,” wrote MYDIN in its post complete with a digital gift basket to greet its new Thai counterpart.
In its reply, the Tesco Malaysia official page sent its own computer-generated basket of goodies with a poem to their new “kawan” in the market.
Netizens were seen taking to the comment section to send their own goodbyes and welcomed Lotus’s arrival.
It was recently revealed that the Thai conglomerate, Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, had taken over Tesco’s operation in Malaysia and Thailand in 2020 from its original British multinational owners.
