Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport celebrated Chinese New Year by sharing their joy with the underserved.
Ushering in the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration this year held at the Grand Hotel Lobby of Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport, the Hotel gathered 20 senior citizens from Calvary Land.
Acting General Manager Sundra Kulendra said, the Hotel continued to uphold its brand promise of 'Making Meaningful Connection' by sharing memorable moments together with the surrounding community in the Hotel's yearly event.
"It's part of the Sama-Sama way in connecting with our guests. No matter the scale of the event is.
"Most importantly, we want them to know that we care and remember them,” he said at the event, yesterday.
Sundra said, while Chinese New Year usually spent with a gathering of family and friends at home, the Hotel hoped with such festive annual events organized by Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport would also be a platform to introduce Malaysian aesthetics to tourists visiting the country.
"The Hotel is strategically located right beside KLIA main terminal building. It is the perfect venue and a gateway to showcase Malaysia melting pot of culture especially for foreign guests who are staying with us," he said.
Guests were welcomed with a mesmerizing acrobatic lion dance performance by the Shaolin GC Showtime Academy. The event followed by a yee sang tossing ceremony that is joined together by the senior citizens and the management and associate of Sama-Sama Hotel KL International Airport.
In conjunction of spirit of joy and togetherness, guests were then treated to a sumptuous Chinese themed spread at Palmz coffee house while the senior citizens and their guardians adjourned to all-day dining restaurant, Degrees for a chinese set dinner specially made by Executive Chef, Chef Ahmad Farhan Noorzali.
