AN ORGANISATION WITH A HEART
The Group is cognizant of its role in reaching out to
the community as part our corporate culture. During
the year in review, Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur made
efforts to engage in various community outreaches
such as hosting a Chinese New Year dinner for
the aged residents of Rumah Victory; a Ramadan
event for the children of Al Qausar, and a donation
of school items such as stationery, books, school
uniforms and shoes at a Christmas outreach to the
children at Rumah Tunas Harapan in Kuala Selangor.
In 2015, Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur raised RM 55,000
to build a play ground for Rumah Tunas Harapan,
and its efforts were recognized by the Public Welfare
Department of Selangor as well as the State’s Chief
Minister. Together with Super Bikers Club Malaysia,
Johan Junior, LC Production Sdn Bhd, and Gardner &
Wife Theatre, Hotel Royal Kuala Lumpur organized a
charity super bike ride and a charity matinee show
“Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus”, based on the
book by renowned author Mo Willems, to raise funds
for the playground.
