As an artist and a committed patron of Spotlight Store Malaysia, I am deeply saddened by the looming closure of this essential store. This unique location is more than just a store – it is a hub for creativity and imagination, offering an unparalleled range of art and craft materials, a vast variety of fabric, and much more. Its closure would leave a gaping hole in the artistic community in Malaysia.

According to the National Department of Statistics, Malaysia's creative industry grew by 6.5% in 2018, contributing significantly to the economy. Areas such as art, craft, and design contribute significantly to this growth, and stores like Spotlight play a vital role in providing necessary materials and resources for these industries.

The closure of Spotlight Store Malaysia would not only affect the individuals who rely on it for resources but will also have a negative impact on Malaysia's creative sector growth. Therefore, we urge the relevant authorities to intervene, reevaluate this closure, and explore possible ways to keep Spotlight Store Malaysia open for all the dreamers, creators, and artists who need it.
