to our increasingly digital-savvy customers who are constantly looking for
convenience and value-add purchases, we innovated our business and ventured
into the e-commerce segment. Towards this end, Shopee was the first e-commerce
platform that we partnered with as they have a wide appeal amongst the local
market, coupled with its value-added services and innovative campaigns,” said Aadrin Azly, PETRONAS Dagangan Berhad’s
Head of Retail Business. “Our partnership with Shopee has enabled us to
successfully expand our online brand presence and reach out to a greater base
