Malaysia Airports brings<br />
Raya festive cheer to less<br />
fortunate children<br />
108 primary school students were smiling from ear to ear after Malaysia Airports<br />
purchased new clothes, shoes and handed out 'duit raya' and chocolate hampers<br />
on 21 June <strong>2016</strong> as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR).<br />
The rambunctious bunch comprised students aged between 7 and 12 from Sekolah<br />
Kebangsaan KLIA (SK KLIA) and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi (SK<br />
BBST), Sepang. They were selected based on their families' financial standings.<br />
Malaysia Airports Managing Director, Datuk Badlisham Ghazali and his wife, Datin<br />
Rogayah Ibrahim accompanied the children alongside 23 other Malaysia Airports staff<br />
volunteers to Parkson Alamanda Putrajaya to shop for the Raya clothes and shoes.<br />
Each student was allocated RM300 to purchase clothes and shoes of their liking<br />
at Parkson.<br />
Badlisham said, "This donation is a sign of concern<br />
as a corporate entity and is also part of our<br />
corporate social responsibility initiatives to<br />
assist nearby local communities where we<br />
operate. Hopefully, with a little help and<br />
donations from us, we are able to bring<br />
happiness to these students and their<br />
families, especially during the Raya<br />
months of Ramadhan and Syawal."<br />
"In addition, I also hope that this<br />
contribution would encourage these<br />
kids to excel in their learning and to<br />
continue the legacy of devoting time<br />
to family, religion, race and nation in<br />
the future," he said.<br />
Post-shopping spree, the students were<br />
whisked to The Everly Putrajaya Hotel for<br />
a food buffet, which was also attended by<br />
media partners of Malaysia Airports.<br />
Students also received RM200 in 'duit raya' and<br />
chocolate hampers worth RM300 each at the ceremony.<br />
SK KLIA Headmistress, Rumiah Abd Jalil expressed her<br />
gratitude and said, "We at SK KLIA are very honoured by<br />
Malaysia Airports to ease the burden on our students in their<br />
preparation for the upcoming Aidilfitri celebrations. We hope<br />
that the noble efforts of Malaysia Airports and all the volunteers<br />
involved on this day would be rewarded, even more so during<br />
the blessed month of Ramadhan."<br />
Also present at the breaking of fast was Malaysia Airports'<br />
Chief Financial Officer, Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin, Malaysia<br />
Airports senior management, SK BBST Headmistress, Sa'adiah<br />
