KUALA LUMPUR,Malaysia,Feb. 27,2023 -- IPC Shopping Centre invites parents and their children to a meaningful,exciting and an educative school holiday adventure with its larger-than-life intricate balloon sculptures themed 'Ocean Heroes to the Rescue'.

From now until 5th March 2023,parents can bring their children to the centre's Concourse to enjoy and immerse themselves in an Ocean Playground that is made up of 85,000 pieces of biodegradable balloons. The Ocean Playground consist of beautifully sculptured underwater landscape while featuring five most endangered marine life - Hammerhead Shark,Orca Whale,Hawksbill Sea Turtle, Dugong and Giant Manta Ray. The installation uses 100% biodegradable Qualatex balloons which will be properly disposed at the end to ensure it does not end up in a landfill or the ocean.

IPC Shopping Centre has partnered with 20 world-renowned balloon sculpture artists from Hong Kong,Mainland China,Taiwan,and Malaysia to bring this extravagant installation to life. The team was led by Malaysian Balloon Master,Joseph Ho,and Taiwan's Godfather of Balloons,Ho Kun Leong,who have worked together on multiple occasions.

Ms Karyn Lim,General Manager of IPC Shopping Centre,said,"Malaysia is one of the top plastic ocean polluters and it is not something to be proud of. We need immediate action collectively to take better care of our ocean and marine life. Unlike other destinations,this Ocean Playground is our way of raising awareness on the importance of preserving our ocean for the livelihoods of marine lives and with hopes of cultivating our next generation Ocean Heroes."

Joseph Ho,Malaysian Balloon Mastersaid "I am excited to be working with IPC again as this marks the 5th year we've partnered together. The pandemic affected all large-scale balloon exhibitions,so I am thrilled to be part of the first and only sustainable balloon installation in Malaysia. I hope more shopping centres in Malaysia will follow suit and be more sustainable in-malls so that together we can create a greater impact on our people and planet together."

Over two weekends,IPC Shopping Centre will also be hosting educative on-ground activities and complimentary sustainability-driven workshops at Atrium,Level G for children aged 12 years old and below on a first come-first serve basis (priority is given to Små Club members).
