KOTA KINABALU: With the help of Sabah folk, food and beverage company Love a Durian Sdn Bhd has set a new Malaysia Book of Records for the largest number of people doing hand gesture.
The organiser gathered 1,608 people at Suria Sabah Shopping Mall for the event, which was witnessed by Kota Kinabalu mayor Datuk Yeo Boon Hai.
The hand gesture event, held under the theme “Passion of Giving, Joy of Receiving,” was in conjunction with the launch of the company’s Love a Durian Coffee and Malaysian Breakfast Coffee in Sabah.
“There will be a hand-gesture photo event to gather people who believe in a common purpose and performing a random act of kindness.
“This is a call for anyone who wishes to give back to society,” said Love a Durian managing director Benson Wong.
“Some of us are fortunate enough to be able to extend a helping hand to others in need, let’s do so now.
“Giving is the ultimate expression of joy, and it releases truly positive energy. The energy that you create by giving is more important than the gift itself.
“The essence is always joy although the form can be anything. When you give with unbridled joy and happiness, the gift is blessed with positive energies and it will flourish further for those who receive it,”
Love A Durian also channelled all the sales on that day (RM5,000 and three hampers worth RM1,500) to three shelter homes namely Rumah Anak Yatim Al Sakinah, Sabah Cheshire Home and Services and Bukit Harapan Trustees.
“Hopefully, this new record will be the catalyst that will further explode exponentially across all race and creed,” Wong added.
