Magnum Group CSR head Beh Swan Swan said Gawai Dayak is one of numerous Magnum Cares programmes initiated in support of the local community.
“We hope with our visits and wishes, we will help generate more awareness to others to think of the less fortunate and help in our own way to lift up the spirits of deserving folks during this auspicious festival; after all nobody can do everything but everybody can do something,” said Beh.
“In essence, during this joyous festive season, Magnum hopes to light up the spirit of the less fortunate and local community to welcome the festival with smiles and a happy heart. I wish to take this opportunity to wish all our Dayak friends a Happy and Blessed Gawai!”
