PETALING JAYA: The “Force” was with the Children from Pusat Penjagaan KanakKanak Cacat Taman Megah at the Kuala Lumpur Internatio­nal Airport (KLIA).

As special guests of the event, the children were also given festive gifts.

MAHB senior general manager of commercial services Mohammad Nazli Abdul Aziz said the yearend holiday season was always exciting and they were happy to host the children.

“We were excited to have this first collaborat­ion with Maybank, as well as spreading the joy of giving through our CSR initiative,” he said.

Adding to the holiday excitement,

Malaysia Airports delighted airportgoe­rs with glittery decoration­s and activities.

Our continuous aim is to add colours, excitement and joy in the lives of our patrons, he said.

“Festive celebratio­ns like Christmas and New Year give us the opportunit­y to do something special and truly memorable.

“We hope that they enjoy the fes

tive spirit, activities and performanc­es held throughout the month,” he said.
