Over 100 children from five orphanages received duit Raya and gifts from KL Wellness City.
KUALA LUMPUR: KL Wellness City (KLWC) kicked off “Sejahtera Raya Bersama KLWC”, a Raya festive gathering that brought the community together through cultural performances, traditional delicacies and the premiere of a special Hari Raya music video.
The event, held at the KLWC Show Gallery in Bukit Jalil, reflected KLWC’s commitment to fostering community spirit, well-being and inclusivity.
In her officiating speech, Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif, praised KLWC’s efforts in fostering a sense of community and giving back during the festive season.
“In the spirit of Hari Raya, we are reminded of the importance of togetherness, generosity, and well-being.
“I commend KLWC for its ongoing commitment to community engagement, sustainability, and inclusivity. Their initiative today reflects the values that make Kuala Lumpur a city that thrives on compassion and shared prosperity.”
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) executive director (project management) Mohamad Hamim, who represented her at the event, read the speech.

A highlight of the event was the grand debut of a special Hari Raya music video, which captures the essence of nostalgia, unity and togetherness - a heartfelt tribute to the festive spirit.
The video showcases the talents of more than 25 KLWC staff members, who came together to sing, dance and act under the leadership of branding, sales and marketing director Datuk Seri Dr Vincent Tiew.
Spreading Raya joy to underprivileged children
“Sejahtera Raya Bersama KLWC” was not just about celebration, it was also about giving back. In the spirit of Ramadan and Hari Raya, KLWC extended its support to five orphanages with a RM12,500 donation, reinforcing its commitment to uplifting underprivileged communities.
The five homes that benefited from this initiative are:
> Persatuan Kebajikan Anak Yatim & Miskin Al-Munirah Klang
> Pertubuhan Pendidikan Anak-Anak Yatim Selangor
> Rumah Perlindungan Nur Qaseh
> Persatuan Kebajikan Rumah Jalinan Kasih Anak Yatim Miskin Selangor
> Persatuan Kebajikan Anak Kepada Pesakit HIV/AIDS Nurul Iman Malaysia
Since last year, KLWC has extended its charitable efforts to over 28 old folks’ homes and orphanages across various festive celebrations, including this Hari Raya event, ensuring that more communities experience the joy and warmth of the festive season.
“Sejahtera Raya Bersama KLWC” is a time for celebration as well as an opportunity to foster a culture of giving and togetherness,” said KL Wellness City managing director Datuk Dr Colin Lee.
“This is what defines KLWC. We are not just a wellness-focused township but a community that uplifts and supports those in need.”
A transformative vision
Beyond the celebrations, KLWC continues to make strides in its mission to develop a world-class wellness hub.
Since launching Phase One in May 2024, the project has progressed significantly, with 50% structural completion ahead of schedule.
The highly anticipated KL International Hospital (KLIH) and The Nobel Healthcare Park are set to open in the second half of 2026, further strengthening Kuala Lumpur’s position as a centre for medical tourism and healthcare excellence. Plans for a helipad are also underway to enhance emergency response capabilities.
In her speech, Maimunah highlighted KLWC’s potential to elevate Kuala Lumpur’s global standing.
She stated, “KL Wellness City is setting a new benchmark for urban development by prioritising health, accessibility and sustainability. From its wheelchair-friendly township to the management of the Central Park, this is a development designed for people, not just infrastructure.
“With the establishment of the KLIH, Kuala Lumpur’s reputation as a premier medical tourism destination will undoubtedly be enhanced. Beyond being an economic driver that generates job opportunities and attracts investments, this development supports Kuala Lumpur’s vision of wellness-focused growth.”
Lee added, “KL Wellness City is not just a development; it is a transformative vision that places Kuala Lumpur on the world medical map, positioning it as the destination of choice for health tourism.
“With state-of-the-art healthcare infrastructure, a fully integrated wellness ecosystem and a commitment to sustainability, KLWC is setting new benchmarks in medical excellence and holistic well-being.”
He further highlighted that KLWC’s Central Park is designed as a green sanctuary that promotes well-being and community engagement.
KL Wellness City invites the public to join its Hari Raya Open House on April 19, from 10am to 1pm at the KLWC Gallery in Bukit Jalil. Everyone is welcome to attend with friends and family and enjoy a festive celebration filled with traditional delicacies and exciting activities.
