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.
