The patrons of the Al Ikhlas Old Folks Care and Treatment<br />

Home at Puchong received a pleasant surprise in the form of<br />

a new gazebo, gift hampers and food when Malaysia Airports'<br />

Skuad Ceria paid them a visit on August 17.<br />

Part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme<br />

to contribute to society and local communities within their<br />

operation grounds, Malaysia Airports' newly-launched Skuad<br />

Ceria members provided assistance and support to the senior<br />

citizens living at the home. The Squad comprises Malaysia<br />

Airports employees.<br />

During the visit, Malaysia Airports launched a gazebo named<br />

'Teratak Ceria Malaysia Airports' which is set to be in front of<br />

the home for the comfort and convenience of its residents<br />

to relax and enjoy. The event also witnessed a cake-cutting<br />

ceremony and gift hamper distribution from Malaysia Airports<br />

(Niaga) Sdn Bhd (Eraman). Thereafter, residents were treated to<br />

lunch provided by Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport.<br />

Malaysia Airports Managing Director, Datuk Badlisham Ghazali<br />

said, "Malaysia Airports will continue to be committed in<br />

carrying out various corporate social responsibility initiatives<br />

to uphold the company's position as a responsible entity for<br />

local communities surrounding our operation grounds. The<br />

Skuad Ceria volunteer programme was launched in the hope<br />

of raising awareness among Malaysia Airports employees on<br />

societal and local community awareness. "<br />

The home which is run by ex-nurse, Muji Sulaiman, has 37<br />

residents aged between 50 and 90 years and 16 employees.<br />

Muji said, "We are very grateful that Malaysia Airports made<br />

an effort to visit and contribute time and resources with the<br />

residents here."<br />

Residents were happy to receive gift hampers<br />
