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 />
