Wish-come-true at Pullman for children from Miri Methodist Home
MIRI: Twenty children from Miri Methodist Children’s Home (MMCH) were treated to a pre-Christmas Hi-Tea at Pullman Miri Waterfront, in conjunction with Interhill’s Christmas Wish Tree project which was launched in early November.

“We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this project to make this Christmas a memorable one for the children from Miri Methodist Children’s Home,” general manager of Pullman Miri Waterfront Michael Weiss remarked.
He added that the Christmas Wish Tree which was placed at the hotel lobby for a period of one month has raised a total of RM2,077 from staff as well as from public donation.
