The
students, identified from needy families in the neighbourhood, enjoyed a sumptuous
spread dubbed Buffet ala Citrawarna
where appetizers, soups, local favourites, Raya delicacies as well as Arabian
treats and Chinese dishes were presented in a mouth-watering and colourful
palette.
This
annual charity event was part of Pulai Springs Resort’s Corporate Social
Responsibility Programme in caring for the less fortunate in the neighbouring
area and giving back to the community.
Aged
between 13 and 17, the students were mainly orphans and children from under-privileged
families, who were guests at the resort for the very first time.

On arrival,
they were welcomed by resort General Manager, Sunny Soo, and chairman of the
resort’s Sports & Welfare Club, Mohd Najib Sedik, along with committee
members and resort staff.
The
event kicked off with a word of welcome from Soo who said that the resort team
believes in the spirit of sharing and caring especially with the young guests
during this festive season. Hosting the Ramadan buffet was just one of the ways
of sharing this wonderful festive season with them.
“This
is an annual event and Pulai Springs Resort looks forward to celebrating many
more occasions with the less fortunate and share the company’s success with
them,” he added.
Soo
presented the students with duit raya in the sum of RM50 each,
contributed by the resort as well as their Sports & Welfare Club.

The
students also each received a goodie bag of stationery sponsored by Schwan-STABILO
Marketing and food items of cereals and chocolates that were generously donated
by a resident of Cinta Ayu Apartments in Pulai Springs Resort.
The
30 families represented also received a package of essential food items that
included rice (5kg), flour, sugar, coffee powder, condensed milk and cooking
oil, to help them prepare for the coming Hari Raya celebrations.
The
event continued with a prayer recitation by a resort staff, followed by the
breaking of fast with the tradition of eating dried dates before going into Maghrib prayers.
Then
the students returned to the restaurant to enjoy a leisurely meal from the
buffet and happily helped themselves to more of their favourite items.
To
add some fun to the event, the resort staff played a quiz game with the
students where prizes were given away for the right answers. Then a group of
vocally talented male students presented Nasyid
songs at the close of the event.
