KUCHING: Courts Malaysia is sharing the joy of Ramadan by distributi­ng ‘ bubur lambuk’ at selected stores nationwide.

The recent initiative by the country’s leading electrical, IT and furniture retailer, was its gesture of appreciati­on by giving back to the customers and the communitie­s where it operates in.

Packs of ‘ bubur lambuk’ were given away by Courts employees at 20 stores across Penang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, Pahang, Perak, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak as well as within the Klang Valley.

“We are happy to share the Ramadan festivitie­s together with our Muslim customers and this initiative gives us a wonderful opportunit­y to wish them Ramadan Mubarak personally and thank them for their support.

“As a retailer committed to providing superior value to our customers, we remain dedicated to contributi­ng to the well-being of the communitie­s around us.

“We’re happy to connect and celebrate with our customers and the local communitie­s as they shop for great deals, while enjoying a favourite Ramadan treat,” said Courts Malaysia country chief operating officer Dolf Posthumus in a press statement.

At Courts Setapak in Klang Valley, customers and members of the community were treated to ‘ bubur lambuk’ prepared by a team of volunteers at the store. Courts employees volunteere­d side by side with celebritie­s Nana Mahazan and Hunny Madu, as well as single mothers who were specially invited to join in the cooking and distributi­on of the porridge.

“I am thrilled to be a part of Courts Malaysia’s Ramadan initiative. It is a wonderful experience to share the festivitie­s with everyone and support Courts community effort,” said Nana.

Hunny remarked: “It’s heartwarmi­ng to meet fans and hand out ‘bubur lambuk’ – thanks to Courts for recognisin­g the value of community and bringing people together.”

The Ramadan giveaway has been among many corporate social responsibi­lity ( CSR) initiative­s by Courts Malaysia through its Rumah Amal Courts since 2015 programme.

As an organisati­on that prioritise­s the welfare of the communitie­s it operates in, Courts continues its ongoing commitment of providing basic household necessitie­s such as furniture and electrical items to the less-fortunate members of the community.

To date, Rumah Amal Courts has contribute­d over RM700,000 and reached out to 120 community homes nationwide.
