Giant represents and means so much more than just a hypermarket or retail chain. As one of the oldest chain of hypermarkets in Malaysia, Giant has been committed to helping Malaysians, providing the best value for the freshest quality - making us one of the most trusted home solution partners for Malaysian families. To celebrate our 74th anniversary and Malaysia National Day, we collected Little Giant Stories from our staff as well as customers, to show what Giant truly means to Malaysians.
Inspiring and enabling Malaysians with opportunities
Not only a household name among Malaysian families, Giant also represents one of the largest employers in Malaysia. With stores in almost every community around the nation and 74 years of experience in the local market, it’s no wonder every one of us have a unique Giant story to tell - especially those a part of our Giant Family. Featuring some of Giant’s longest standing employees, these stories brings to life our employees’ relationship and experience with the Giant family from a personal perspective.
“I was recognized for my potential by Giant when I became the youngest store manager at 28 years old, after only working for 7 years and my highest qualification was SPM,” said Thangaraj a/l Panirsalvam, Store Manager. “I would not have been able to do it if Giant didn’t believe in me.”
Thangaraj has accomplished countless achievements throughout the 15 years that he has been with the Giant family. He says that he wouldn't have been able to climb and develop so quick without the opportunities and trainings from Giant and particularly the people who have believed in him over the years.
In this time Malaysians are appreciating rewards in the form of recognition of their efforts more than ever, as the likelihood of these are scarce more than ever. Jimmy Chu Chee Seng, currently a store manager, tells a story on how Giant surprised him for his contributions.
“Back in 2006, the store I was working at achieved the best performance out of the other stores. Everyone at Giant knew I was a football fan, they actually sent me on a 5 days 4 nights trip to the UK to watch a match. It meant a lot because they went out of their way to specially make me feel appreciated,” said Jimmy.
Some of our staff stories also includes the hardships that some of members of the Giant family have faced over the years. K. Malathy a/p Karuppiah, a single mother of two, reminisce on the early stages of her journey with Giant, working multiple jobs to support her family.
"When I started at Giant, I had to clean houses on my off days to support my family. Now I own three houses, two which I rent out. I don’t need to work anymore, since my kids are working already, but I feel I owe this much to Giant for their support throughout the years," says Malathy. “A lot of people looked down on me at that time, even making fun of how I was a cleaner. 26 years with Giant, I really believe that I wouldn’t have made it in life without the support and opportunities at Giant.”
