IJM LAND REJOICES WITH THE UNDERPRIVILEGED THIS FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

In conjunction with the “Festival of Lights” celebration, IJM Land Berhad made it their mission to provide support and extend joyfulness to five underprivileged families in Seremban by organising "Deepavali Charity Cheer" Programme.

The prestigious developer hopes to instil awareness that the needful should not be forgotten during joyful occasions by reaching out and spreading compassion and goodwill among underprivileged families by providing them with monetary support and groceries in the hopes of making a positive difference in their lives.

Dato’ Hoo Kim See, Senior of IJM Land (Central Region) General Manager, mentioned that this initiative allows the less fortunate to come along as one family and celebrate this festive occasion without worries.

The initiative was led by Dato’ Hoo and staff members of IJM Land Berhad, and also joined by honorable guest Yang Berhormat Tuan Arul Kumar A/L Jambunathan, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Bertindak Sumber Manusia, Perladangan dan Hal Ehwal Bukan Islam, Exco & Adun Nilai.

Goodie bags comprising grocery items of rice, milk, cooking oil, flour, cookies and others were distributed to all five families to lessen their burden in preparation of Deepavali celebration.

A sum of donation was also handed over to each family in attempt to ignite smiles on their faces during the Festival of Lights. One of the recipients, Ms Mariamma who suffers from memory loss received monetary help.

IJM Land also contributed assistance to another recipient Mr. Jakumar, a single father as well as beneficiary of last year's Home Rehabilitation Programme by keeping his house well-maintained and providing his children with shelter.

Dato Hoo’ explained that helping the needy isn't only about providing donations or money, but to also understand the background they come from and nevertheless still support them in the slightest way possible.

“We hope to light up the lives of these families, and to give them some hope and respite from their less fortunate lives – giving every family a chance to move towards a better future.” Dato Hoo’ concluded.
