The Star Online - Savoury Porridge, Essentials For Nine Welfare Homes

NINE welfare homes and orphanages across the Klang Valley received Hari Raya treats from Tropicana Foundation and Capri by Fraser, Bukit Bintang.

Tropicana group executive director Jared Ang said,“Raya is a time for appreciation, renewal and reunion, so we are pleased to give back to the community through this charitable endeavour.

“The bubur lambuk was prepared and packed by Capri by Fraser, Bukit Bintang, along with duit raya and sundries to support the homes in their daily needs.”
