MRCA CHRISTMAS CHARITY CELEBRATION 2018
With the set-up of this Foundation, the MRCA started to work on giving back to the society through visitations and donations to Charitable Homes during Malaysia’s main
festive seasons – Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas.
SUBANG JAYA, 18th December 2018 - Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA) under the leadership of
past MRCA President, Dato’ Tay Sim Kim, set up the MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation in
the year 2010 with the RM1 million fund raised.
One of Foundation’s main projects is to give back to the community and in conjunction Christmas festive that is coming up, the MRCA Foundation organized a Christmas celebration for 115 underprivileged children and teenagers from Pertubuhan Perkhidmatan Sosial dan Pembangunan Komuniti Daerah Gombak, Selangor - PSPK (Association of Social Services and Community Development of Gombak District, Selangor).
Each child received a goodie bag, mini hamper and ang pow. All the children also had a great time with performances, best dressed contest, games and lunch prepared for them to enjoy.
The celebration was attended by Datuk Albert Chiang, Founder Chairman of MRCA Foundation, Datuk Seri Garry Chua, MRCA President together with Organizing Chairlady, Datin Flora Tan, MRCA Council Members, Youth Members and Members.
According to Mr. Henry Sandanam, Chairman of PSPK Gombak, the children who attended today’s event are mainly from families living in the low-income bracket have various struggles. Most of them live in the low income apartments constructed by the government. The parents in these families are not educated and hence end up in jobs that do not provide them enough resources to support their families. In addition to it, they get involved in substance abuse and spend the little income they earn. The children are those from various cases of families’ issues. Mostly are broken, disturbed and under privileged families. PSPK would connect the children personally mentor them in their personal lives and wean them away from other distractions. We believe that both competency and character go hand in hand to help them become fulfilled adults.
