CELEBRATIN­G 15 YEARS OF FABULOUSNE­SS

IT took us more than a decade to build a brand that not only aims to provide the best hospitalit­y in town, but also emphasises giving back to the community. On Oct 18, Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur celebrated its 15th year of exemplary service

-

The hotel 15th anniversar­y is all about the associates giving back to the society. Hence, Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur associates held an event on the Oct 18 in the ballroom where special guests from Kiwanis Down’s Syndrome Foundation and their guardians, along with the elderly from Rumah Charis and Rumah Victory were feted.

The celebratio­n kick-started with a special performanc­e by the children from Kiwanis Down’s Syndrome Foundation, followed by a speech from the general manager, Anthony O’Niell, and the founder of The Giving Bank, Dr Jason Ang. There was a cake-cutting ceremony to commemorat­e Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur’s anniversar­y.

A total of 300 guests lent their support to the event which also saw 96 children from the Kiwanis home and 45 senior citizens from Rumah Charis and Rumah Victory. Other guests were clients and hotel associates.

Guests were also wowed by a spectacula­r performanc­e from upcoming singers Amelia and Winnie K. It was a meaningful and entertaini­ng event as the crowd enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

We hope that our continuous contributi­on through our 15th Anniversar­y event to the Kiwanis Down’s Syndrome Foundation, Rumah Charis and Rumah Victory for the elderly will help to create more awareness among the public. It was a time to show the children and the seniors that there is still someone who will eventually remember to contribute by giving to their life. A great philosophe­r once said: “If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.”

Since Berjaya Times Square Hotel, Kuala Lumpur opened its doors to the public, it has retained its reputation on providing the finest facilities and services for guests who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed yet refined ambience.

Throughout the years, the hotel has won countless awards and recognitio­ns, both internatio­nal and local.
