A combined total of RM89,520 was raised by Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur and Four Seasons Resort Langkawi from this year’s Terry Fox Fun Run.
 
The cheque was presented to Andy Khoo, CEO of Cancer Research Malaysia (right) today by Simon Barnett, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel KL (left) and Ivan Giles, General Manager of Four Seasons Resort Langkawi (centre).
 
Held in May and June this year, the two hotel teams along with over 1,350 guests turned out in full force to participate and support the Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope which is celebrating its 45^th anniversary in 2025.
 
Initiated by the late Terry Fox who lost his leg to bone cancer in 1980, the then 22-year Canadian ran 5,374 kilometres across Canada raising CAD 24 million and spurred greater awareness of his vision for a cancer-free world.
 
Four Seasons founder Isadore Sharp made a commitment to uphold Terry’s legacy and today, more than 12,000 Terry Fox Memorial Runs take place around the world annually, supported by Four Seasons in several locations.
 

GREEN IS THE WORD THIS CHRISTMAS AT DORSETT GRAND SUBANG

 

From now until 31 December 2023, give to those in need with Dorsett Grand Subang’s Greener Me Charity Tree Project.

The fund-raising initiative features three towering “Christmas trees” built from repurposed wooden pallets, fashioned into multi-level decks holding pots of money plants and festooned with fairy lights. 

Guests of honour (top pix) Vice Chairman of Dorsett Hospitality International (Malaysia), Datin Jasmine Abdullah Heng (right) and Area General Manager of Dorsett Hospitality International (Malaysia), Datin Christina Toh (left), together with Datuk Zainal Abidin Putih, Chairman of Telekom Malaysia Berhad graced the festive light-up ceremony.

Dressed in red, children from Rumah Charis also added to the merriment with their rendition of popular Christmas songs. Members of the public are invited to pledge minimum RM10 for each pot of plant. The plants can either be taken home or replanted later by the hotel upon request when the charity project has concluded.

Each contributor will have their name(s) displayed on the Christmas Charity Tree until 31 December 2023. In addition, contributors stand a chance to win weekly lucky draw prizes such as complimentary hotel stay and dining vouchers from the hotel.

Names of the donors will then be compiled for the Grand Draw on 2 January 2024, entitling them to win hotel stay vouchers from Dorsett Kwun Tong and Lan Kwai Fong @Kau U Fong in Hong Kong as well as Dorsett Grand Subang.

Funds collected from will be presented to the National Heart Institute Foundation and Subang Jaya Community Ambulance Service.

RETRO CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT DORSETT KL

Vibrant shades of red, orange, green, pink, purple and blue sets the Christmas tree at the lobby of Dorsett Kuala Lumpur lobby apart this year. General Manager Adele Ang waved a ‘magic wand’ to officiate the lighting up ceremony. 

The hotel also invited a group of refugee Myanmarese children from from the Shalom Education Center to perform Christmas carolling before guests were ushered to Checkers Café for dinner. 

In line with the Dorsett group’s “Stay Vibrant” global brand proposition, a green Instagrammable wall beckons selfie enthusiasts to strike a pose. After pre-dinner drinks and live entertainment by resident band, DMJ Trio, guests proceeded to the lobby for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

The culinary team left no stones unturned in their quest to impress, showcasing a kaleidoscope of Yuletide specialities. Colourful and dainty portions of appetisers such as Pate with Peach and Mini Sliders jostle for attention amidst international Cheese Platter and Seafood on Ice.

 

Pasta cooked a la minute and the carvery counter feturing Whole Roasted Turkey with Giblet Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, Chestnut Stuffing, and Salt Baked Salmon with Mustard Dill Cream Sauce garnered long queues that evening.

 

If you’re planning to reserve a seat for the upcoming Christmas Eve Buffet Dinner (RM118nett per person), the extravagant menu includes grilled meat from the live Barbeque station in addition to a plethora of hot dishes: Beef Goulash, Lamb Navarin, Grilled Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce, Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Tomato Seafood Ragout.

 

Over at the sweet wonderland of dessert, Gingerbread in different shapes and sizes beckoned invitingly. Luscious temptations such as Chocolate Yule Log, Christmas Cookies, Macarons, Berry Trifle, Cheesecake and Stollen were laid out too.

 

 

Checkers Café will also serve an equally lavish New Year’s Eve Buffet Dinner (RM118nett per person) from 7 pm onwards on 31 December. Guests may proceed to Dorsett Residences Bukit Bintang at the hotel’s annexe, to catch the fireworks at the rooftop pool area on Level 30.

 

 

For festive takeaways, Christmas Treats are sold at Windows Lounge. Assorted Christmas Cookies, Almond Stollen Bread and other goodies are available while Roasted Tom Turkey and Roasted NZ Leg of Lamb can be reserved ahead of time.
