SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, KUALA LUMPUR CONTRIBUTES TO FLOOD VICTIMS
IN EAST COAST
PR DIRECTOR DATO ROSEMARIE WEE AND HOTEL GM MANFRED WEBER WITH GOODS FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan have been badly
hit by floods as heavy rains continue unabated in that part of the country.
With deep concern for the welfare of those devastated by the floods,
the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur has galvanised into action and put together
a collection of items to send to the victims.
This includes two lorry loads of bed sheets, towels and duvet
covers, bathrobes, soaps, toothbrushes, 200 pairs of school shoes, school bags,
books, toys, used clothing, shampoo and hair conditioner.
Manfred Weber, general manager of the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala
Lumpur, handed these items over to K. Balasupramaniam, founder and chairman of
the Malaysian Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association (MVFRA) on 26 December.
Members of the hotel staff helped in loading boxes of the items on to the MVFRA
truck.
The truck will make its way to Pahang and Terengganu to deliver
these items directly to flood victims in shelters where they have been
evacuated, to provide them with some relief and comfort.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts remains committed to
operating in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible manner
while balancing the interests of diverse stakeholders. In striving to be a leader in corporate
