SYARIKAT Takaful Malaysia Berhad (Takaful Malaysia) brought cheer to 30 orphans from Rumah Anak Kesayanganku in Bukit Berun-tung, Selangor, recently.

These children aged between six and 12 years were beaming with smiles during the Hari Raya shopping spree at the AEON Bukit Tinggi in Klang.

According to its group managing director, Datuk Hassan Kamil, the company has aggressively pushed its sustainable CSR brand “TakafulmyJalinan”, including contributions to orphans, single mothers, the less fortunate, enhancing the level of education in rural schools as well as environmental-related activities.

So far, almost RM3mil has been spent to help enhance the quality of life for the needy.

Shopping spree: Children from Rumah Anak Kesayanganku having a good time picking out their favourite baju raya.

As part of its 25th anniversary celebration this year, the company has chosen to collaborate with Astro on its road tour to further create “Jalinan” with potential customers at selected areas in Malaysia.

Takaful Malaysia is the main sponsor for various competitions organised as part of “Marhaban di Astro” road tour, including Islamic “Khat” writing, Islamic story-telling and Islamic-themed fashion competition.

The prizes offered by Takaful Malaysia included 10 Umrah packages and other cash prizes totalling RM100,000.

For this final leg of the Marhaban tour, Takaful Malaysia is inviting the orphans to be part of the Marhaban tour activities.

Despite observing their fasting obligation, the orphans clearly had a good time and were full of excitement and energy, picking out their favourite baju raya and a pair of new shoes each.

Amid their shopping spree, they were further treated to a surprise appearance by popular “Akademi Fantasia” celebrities as well as singers Aisyah and Yasin.

The highlight of the day was the Buka Puasa treat jointly hosted by Takaful Malaysia and Astro at the Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam.

The children and 250 other guests were further entertained by performances from the “Marhaban di Astro” entertainers.
