Dulux together with one of its business partners, Shong Heng Home Centre held the Dulux Colour In Store promotion early this month.

Held at the Shong Heng Home Centre branch in Seremban 2, the roadshow was designed to provide consumers with knowledge on colour and to advocate AkzoNobel’s sustainable efforts by educating the public on the application of healthy and eco-friendly paints solutions.

AkzoNobel is the world’s largest paints and coatings company, and a major producer of specialty chemicals since its acquisition of ICI Paints in Jan 2008.

The roadshow, themed “Adding colour to people’s lives” consisted of activities catering to both adult and children, with the highlight of the event being the painting of a canvas mural by the children of Rhema House.

Three weeks prior to the roadshow, Dulux and Shong Heng had worked hand-in-hand to repaint the interior and exterior of Rhema House, an orphanage in Seremban 3.

As a token of appreciation to both Dulux and Shong Heng Home Centre for giving their home a new coat of paint, the children painted and presented a canvas mural which was proudly placed in the Shong Heng store.

The children were thrilled to be able to express both their gratitude as well as creativity through the mural painting activity.

During the roadshow, Seremban residents had the opportunity to seek free colour consultation services provided throughout the entire programme. They were also treated to a special appearance by feng shui expert Kenny Hoo, who spoke on Colour Feng Shui for 2012.

In conjunction with the roadshow, Dulux and Shong Heng Home Centre arranged a special three-day promotion for Dulux paints, offering rebates through Shong Heng cash vouchers for purchases of Dulux range of eco-friendly paints.
