Resorts World Genting (RWG) hosted a Christmas celebration for 23 visually impaired individuals from the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB).
The event at Resorts World Awana involved Genting Green Generation (G3), RWG’s employee volunteer programme focusing on fostering community engagement and promoting environmental sustainability.
The celebration began with an exhilarating adventure at Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park, where the participants were paired with G3 volunteers to ensure a seamless experience.
Equipped with earpieces for clear communication, participants were fully engaged in the Epic Hummingbird Flyers and Sid’s Rock ‘N’ Slide rides while guided by the Theme Park Ambassador’s explanations.
The festivities continued with a Christmas-themed luncheon at Resorts World Arena, where participants were treated to live Christmas songs and a trumpet performance by the Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park Entertainment team.
G3 volunteers ensured the participants were comfortably served and assisted throughout the lunch, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and connection.
Special appearances by Mr and Mrs Claus along with Benny the Entertainer, a Sun Bear mascot from Genting’s Highland Heroes, made the celebration more memorable.

The event also featured an engaging interactive game session where the participants, guided by their sense of touch, identified mystery items hidden in a box.
This activity highlighted the importance of sensory exploration in creating inclusive experiences. A lucky draw added to the festive cheer.
The participants were also presented with delightful mini cakes as mementos.
RWG Corporate Relations and Communications vice-president Datuk Seri Kay Atisha Parasuraman said, “This year’s Christmas celebration underscores our commitment to inclusivity and creating meaningful experiences for all.
“The event was thoughtfully curated to provide the participants with sensory-rich activities and engaging entertainment that could be enjoyed beyond sight, fostering connection and festive cheer.
“I am also proud of the dedication shown by our G3 volunteers and the tremendous support from teams at Genting SkyWorlds and Resorts World Awana in making this event truly special.”
