Ahead of Ramadhan, <strong>Tropicana</strong> Corporation Berhad<br />

(“<strong>Tropicana</strong>”) spread festive cheer by hosting 600<br />

underprivileged children at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall, Kota<br />

Damansara. <strong>The</strong> children, from 23 charity homes and<br />

orphanages throughout Klang Valley, were treated to meals by<br />

<strong>The</strong> Chicken Rice Shop and DubuYo, as well as ceramic coaster<br />

painting workshops by Good Times.<br />

<strong>The</strong> kids were also invited to meet their heroes at “<strong>The</strong><br />

World of DC Exhibition”, featuring iconic characters such as<br />

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash and<br />

more. Tickets for the visit were sponsored by WOW Event Asia.<br />

<strong>The</strong> initiative was spearheaded by <strong>Tropicana</strong> Foundation, the<br />

Group’s charity arm.<br />

“As Malaysia enters the fasting month, we wanted to give back<br />

to the community and bring smiles to the face of children<br />

in need. We did this by joining hands with our retail arm,<br />

<strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall, as well as working with tenants and<br />

partners such as <strong>The</strong> Chicken Rice Shop, DubuYo and WOW<br />

Event Asia. This festive initiative is in line with <strong>Tropicana</strong>’s core<br />

focus on Redefining the Art of Caring,” said Dion Tan, Group<br />

Managing Director of <strong>Tropicana</strong>.<br />

Taking place from 14 March to 16 March, the visits were divided<br />

into morning and afternoon sessions. Each session started with<br />

a walkabout of “<strong>The</strong> World of DC Exhibition” at the Convention<br />

Centre on Level 3A of the <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall. Running till 1<br />

April <strong>2023</strong>, the exhibition brought smiles to the children’s faces<br />

with life-size exhibits, costumes and interactive experiences<br />

showcasing the world’s most iconic Super Heroes and Super-<br />

Villains, vividly brought to life in the exhibition.<br />

Participating homes included long-term <strong>Tropicana</strong> Foundation<br />

partners such as Rumah Kasih Harmoni, the Ti-Ratana Welfare<br />

Society, Lighthouse Children’s Welfare Home, Rumah Ozanam Klang,<br />

Rumah Ozanam PJ, and Yayasan Chow Kit. <strong>Tropicana</strong> Foundation<br />
