Alamanda Fetes Underprivileged Children To Heartwarming Festive Shopping And 'Buka Puasa'

PUTRAJAYA, March 11 (Bernama) -- In observance of the holy month of Ramadan, Alamanda Shopping Centre hosted children from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Amal Rukaiyah for a day of festive shopping and community bonding as part of its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR).

According to the statement issued today, Alamanda Shopping Centre said the programme aimed to ensure that the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration is a joyful experience for underprivileged children.

The afternoon began with a personalised “Baju Raya” shopping experience at Gene Martino, where the children selected their own festive outfits, while Bata generously sponsored a new pair of shoes for each child, ensuring they are fully prepared for the upcoming celebrations.

“Beyond the shopping, the children tried their hand at traditional Malaysian crafts with a Mini Wau Bulan and Ketupat weaving workshop. This hands-on experience offered them a chance to connect with their heritage while embracing the festive spirit of the season,” the statement read.

To bring even more smiles to the day, Alamanda Shopping Centre presented each child with duit raya to take home, and in a heartwarming show of support, Browniemunch also contributed to the festivities by gifting the children with not only duit raya but also delicious cookies and brownies to further brighten their upcoming holiday.

“Hari Raya is at its most beautiful when we share it with others. Watching the children’s faces light up as they chose their own Baju Raya and shoes reminds us what this season is truly about.

“At Alamanda, we don’t just want to be a place to shop; we want to be a place where memories are made and where our community feels cared for,” Francis Tan, executive director and chief executive officer of Suria KLCC Sdn Bhd, was quoted as saying in the statement.

The evening concluded with a warm buka puasa (breaking fast) session at Chakri Village, where the children shared a meal with members of the media and Alamanda’s management team.

Meanwhile, for the Aidilfitri 2026 campaign, Alamanda’s Centre Court has been transformed into a charming Bougainvillaea Garden, filled with vibrant blooms and traditional touches, where families can gather, share a perfect moment, and capture their own special Raya memories together.

Shoppers who spend RM700 in two receipts will be rewarded with an exclusive floral flask and a set of Raya packets, while those who spend RM1,500 and above will receive a RM50 Alamanda Shopping eVoucher, in addition to the exclusive floral flask and Raya packets.

“Additionally, Alamanda continues to champion social causes by supporting mental health awareness through the sale of ‘Green Ribbon Pins’ available throughout the campaign period,” the statement read.
