#BUROGIVEAWAY MERDEKA DAY 2025: TAKE HOME EXCLUSIVE PRIZES WORTH MORE THAN RM26,000!

The BURO Merdeka Giveaway is back with prizes worth over RM26,000 for 14 lucky winners. Celebrate the season and stand a chance to win luxury stays, dining experiences, and more.

August will always be a month to remember for us. This is when we come together as one to celebrate the unity and resilience that shaped our freedom. Everywhere you go, the Jalur Gemilang flutters proudly from buildings, cars, and homes, filling the air with patriotic pride. It is also a season to treasure the little moments that remind us how proud we are to be Malaysian.

We want to mark this special time with you in the best way possible. That is why we are bringing back another round of giveaways to keep the festive mood alive. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene retreat, a workout that sparks real joy, or home gadgets and style objects that elevate your everyday—we’ve got you covered. With seven standout brands on board this year, this might just be the sweetest way to wrap up the month. 

 

ELSE KUALA LUMPUR

If the city ever feels overwhelming, Else Kuala Lumpur offers a serene retreat right in the heart of Chinatown. The Sanctuary Room invites you to slow down with soft lighting, soothing views, and thoughtful details. You’ll find linen robes by Lulla, lavender sleep masks by The Asli Co, and MUNI’s eco-friendly tote bag waiting by your bedside. Modern touches such as Dyson hairdryers, Harman Kardon speakers, and sleek 55-inch TVs add comfort. But the true indulgence is the floatation pod. Here, warm Epsom salt water holds you weightless in silence, giving your mind and body the rare gift of complete stillness.

Dining makes the experience even harder to leave. At Yellow Fin Horse, a Mediterranean spirit meets KL energy in a Chef’s Selection Menu built around wood-fired flavours and vibrant seasonal produce. The dishes arrive generously and are made for sharing, much like the best dinner party, but elevated with storytelling cocktails. Just steps away, RAW shifts the mood with bold and inventive plates that surprise at every turn. Its Chef’s Selection Menu evolves with the seasons, ensuring each visit feels entirely new.

One winner will enjoy a 2D1N stay in the Sanctuary Room with breakfast for two, worth RM3,000. Another will relax with a one-hour floatation pod session for two, set at RM300. A third will indulge in the Season 2 Chef’s Selection Menu at Yellow Fin Horse, priced at RM350. The fourth winner will savour the Chef’s Selection Menu at RAW, valued at RM300.

 

THE RUMA HOTEL AND RESIDENCES

The RuMa Hotel and Residences is set in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle, only steps from KLCC Park and Pavilion. Inside, the property offers 253 hotel suites across twelve levels, along with 200 serviced residences above them. For a comfortable retreat, the 43 square metres Deluxe Room features a king bed, rainfall shower, bathtub, smart TV, minibar and coffee machine. Meanwhile, the 111 square metres RuMa Suite delivers a bedroom, living and dining areas, a kitchenette, dressing room and sweeping views. In addition, the hotel provides an infinity pool, a 24-hour fitness centre and UR Spa with results-driven treatments.

On Sundays, ATAS invites guests to indulge in its buffet priced at RM 228 nett per person. The Lobster Extravaganza highlights River Lobster Sizzle with spinach cappellini and a decadent Borneo Lobster Thermidor. Beyond these, an array of international dishes and smoky Mibrasa charcoal-grilled specials enhance the experience. Guests can also enjoy freshly fried favourites that add a comforting balance to the lavish seafood spread. Beverage packages include free-flow wine and beer for RM 200 or sparkling wine for RM 288.

Three lucky winners will each take home a prize. The grand prize is a 2D1N suite stay with breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two, worth RM3,042. The second prize is a 2D1N stay in a standard room with breakfast for two, worth RM1,250. The third prize is a Sunday Brunch voucher for two, worth RM456.

 

SUN:DAY PILATES

Studios in Tropicana Avenue, Bangsar, and Subang Jaya offer classes designed to strengthen the body and mind. You can explore reformer or mat pilates, barre, yoga, and even sound healing. Skilled instructors guide every session, helping you refine posture, build strength, and increase flexibility. Memberships start at RM299 per month in Subang Jaya, with Bangsar priced at RM399. For more variety, Platinum at RM599 per month gives access to all studios. It also includes a free birthday private class, friend passes, and event priority.

The third is a four-month Bangsar Membership worth RM1,596, offering a premium setting in one of KL’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.

 

UNDER ARMOUR

Picking the right sneakers is about comfort as much as style. They should feel effortless on long walks and look good everywhere. The UA SOLA answers that needs with a bold design that merges classic preppy vibes with modern streetwear. This unisex sneaker works for campus life, streetwear, or layered vintage looks. It comes in two material options: open mesh with metallic overlays for a retro-future edge, or rich suede with tighter mesh for a premium touch. The sleek midsole and dynamic silhouette highlight the UA heartbeat logo, nodding to the brand’s heritage and forward movement. Available in White, Stone, Metallic Silver, and Ultimate Black, SOLA lets style-savvy wearers express themselves confidently.

RM1,000 in-store credits are up for grabs at Under Armour. Three lucky winners will each receive this prize and shop for their favourite full-priced pieces. The credits are valid for all items in the store except those already on sale.

 

BIRKENSTOCK

Birkenstock’s latest collection shows that timeless style and comfort can coexist in expertly crafted, thoughtfully designed footwear. Leading the lineup is the Tracy shoe, a graceful revival inspired by ballet flats. Its diagonal strap and matte buckle exude feminine charm, while the natural leather upper offers breathability and durability. A cork footbed and leather insole mould to each step, and the lightweight EVA outsole ensures every stride feels soft and effortless.

Next, the Florida Sandal brings a contemporary lift with a flexible platform sole. Its Birko-Flor® upper is skin-friendly and easy to care for, and three adjustable straps with metal pin buckles ensure a secure fit. The contoured cork-latex footbed and microfibre lining offer consistent support and comfort from morning to evening.

Rounding out the lineup, the Boston BS Mixed Leather in Concrete Gray is a year-round classic. Soft suede envelopes the foot, complemented by a thick oiled nubuck strap for structure and style. Natural leather lining promotes breathability, while the cork footbed and EVA outsole provide reliable cushioning and long-lasting ease of movement.

Three winners will elevate their footwear game with Birkenstock classics. One will claim the Boston LEVE/LEOI in Concrete Gray, valued at RM 859. Another will enjoy the elegant Tracy LENA in Black, worth RM 729. The third will step into the Florida III Flex Platform in Eggshel VEG, priced at RM 529, combining style with comfort for every occasion.

 

HIZERO

Cleaning floors can feel like an endless cycle of sweeping and mopping and drying. However, the Hizero F300 changes that with UltimateClean™ Technology. The high-density polymer roller lifts dust and debris as well as liquids and hair without suction. As a result, dirt does not spread and your home stays spotless. In addition, the roller rinses itself with fresh water during use to deliver consistent cleaning. The lightweight body also glides easily across wood, tile, and laminate. Moreover, its quiet operation below 60 dB lets you clean without disruption. The charging dock also doubles as a self-cleaning station to keep the F300 ready for the next run.

Two winners will each receive a Hizero Floor Cleaner F300, valued at RM2,999 per unit, offering a complete all-in-one solution for effortless floor cleaning.

 

MARSHALL

Music sounds better with the right gear at home or on the move, and Marshall has you covered with the Emberton III Sage and Minor IV Cream. The Emberton III Sage is built for gatherings and outdoor adventures, delivering room-filling True Stereophonic sound with over 32 hours of playtime. Its tough, water- and dust-resistant build makes it the perfect travel companion, while the built-in mic keeps conversations clear on the go. The Sage finish also brings a refined edge to its rugged design.

On the other hand, the Minor IV Cream is designed for personal listening throughout the day. Its angled fit remains comfortable even during long wear. Touch controls let you manage music and calls without reaching for your phone. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth multipoint ensures seamless switching between work and play. The Marshall app also allows you to fine-tune the sound to your preference. With a compact design that slips easily into a pocket, it is well-suited for commutes, workouts, or travel.

Three lucky winners will walk away with a Marshall audio gear. One winner will take home the Emberton III Sage, valued at RM999. Additionally, three winners will each receive a pair of Minor IV Cream earbuds, priced at RM699 per unit.
