Hi Korang,

Concorde Hotel Shah Alam organized this event for the children from:
§ Pusat Jagaan Nur Ekwan Ku from Meru, Klang .
Ø Total 77 children
Ø 25 boys
Ø 52 girls
§ Rumah Sentuhan Budi from Kampung Sri Batu, Kuala Lumpur.
Ø Total 30 children
Ø 10 boys
Ø 20 girls
This will be our 15th year organizing this charity event as part of the Hotel’s CSR annual activity.
The children were entertained by ‘Bobo the Clown’ with colourful shapes and sizes of balloons. The event started with recital of ‘Tahlil & Doa Selamat’ lead by Ustaz Mohd Nizomudin.
YAD Dato’ Jugra Kurnia Diraja Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Syed Yusof bin Tun Syed Nasir, the Chairman of Shah Alam Hotel Sdn Bhd who were amongst the special guests quoted, “The practice of fasting presents social and spiritual purposes. Through hunger we are able to feel compassion for those who are in need, and focus on our relationship with the Almighty”.
He then, gave ‘duit raya’ and Goodies to the children. The children were smiling beamingly until the end of the evening.
Patrick Ng, the General Manager of Concorde Hotel Shah Alam said during the event, “Fasting teaches us unselfishness, patience and gratitude. The meaning of this experience in humanitarian context is that to sympathize with the needy around the world, and responding to their needs. We hope that through this humble gesture, these children get to fulfil their wish to celebrate Raya in a joyous mood”.
