What if you could step inside a rice cooker? MR DIY is inviting Malaysians to do just that with its first-ever giant rice cooker pop-up store in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur – part of its latest nationwide initiative, ‘Kini, Produk MR DIY Tahan Lebih Lama’ (Now, MR DIY products last even longer).

The immersive installation, complete with rising ‘steam’, lively music, and family-friendly activities, is MR DIY’s creative way of bringing its quality promise to life.

The 16-foot-tall rice cooker symbolises reliability and everyday comfort, just like the brand’s products, which are certified by leading national and international quality bodies, including Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) for water fittings, Standards and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) for quality and safety standards, Certificate of Conformity to European Toy Safety Standard (COC EN71) for toy safety, and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for multimedia equipment. These certifications highlight MR DIY’s dedication to providing products that are safer, stronger and meet the highest standards.

From 1 to 12 October, 2025, visitors to Bukit Bintang can explore the playful pop-up, shop exclusive items, and enjoy discounts on MR DIY products, including rice cookers, electric kettles, irons, trailing sockets, headphones, USB portable fans, lightbulbs, bluetooth speakers, and earphones.

To mark the launch, MR DIY turned up the fun with a dance performance featuring 20 PANDAi mascots. The event also marked the debut of its limited-edition merchandise – the BUDDiY mini plushie series (Steamie the rice cooker, Sizzy the iron, and A-Ha! the lightbulb). PANDAi sling bags, priced at RM25.90, are also available exclusively at the pop-up. Visitors spending RM25 or more on MR DIY products or PANDAi sling bags at the pop-up received a complimentary BUDDiY mini plushie.
