We are most happy to work in strategic partnership with Aquila Emas to organize this meaningful berbuka puasa with the children of Rumah Jagaan Titian Kaseh. Meeting the children, talking to them and getting to know them is incredibly rewarding and truly promoted the spirit of Ramadan. We wanted the children to know that we care and remember them during this special festive season. There is no greater joy than seeing smiles on the faces of the children. We are indeed delighted to have all the celebrities and the team from Aquila Emas to join us to spread this festive cheer and promoting togetherness. This festive Charity event is part of our FHI Group’s continuous Sharing & Caring Community Commitments, and it gives us the opportunity to share our warm gracious Malaysian Hospitality with the children. August is also our Merdeka month celebration, and Malaysia will celebrate its 54th Independence Day as The Federal KL celebrates its 54thbirthday, being Kuala Lumpur’s first international class hotel opened just three days before Merdeka Day on 31 August 1957, to house foreign dignitaries coming to witness the historic celebration. In the spirit of Merdeka and One Malaysia, we join hands this evening together with the children, and led by the Celebrities & Stars of Aquila Emas to sing our beloved Jalur Gemilang song, to wave the Jalur Gemilang, our national pride as well as sing Merdeka songs in conjunction with this Merdekamonth and Malaysia Day celebration on 16 September. This is to help instill the Merdeka spirit among the younger generation, to cherish the peace, prosperity and harmony we are so blessed with.”
“This festive charity treat is part of our corporate social responsibility commitment. We have always encourage our teams to help make a difference to those in need. It is a joy to bring everyone together to break fast with the children and the celebrities. Our Federal Hotels International & Hotel Management Team will present the Raya Hampers to the Home, and will distribute raya packets together with Aquila Emas to the children of Rumah Jagaan Titian Kaseh. The children will also be receiving a Mug sponsored by Metrojaya.” said Mr Simon Leong, General Manager of The Federal Kuala Lumpur.
