En. Mohd Amirul Rizal Abdul Rahim, Senior Director Advertising and Digital Division Head of Secretariat Visit Malaysia 2026, representing YBhg Dato’ Yeoh Soon Hin, Deputy Chairman of Tourism Malaysia, who graced the event as the guest of honour, highlighted the importance of corporate initiatives in enriching Malaysia’s cultural and social landscape.
He remarked, “Celebrations like these are a beautiful reflection of Malaysia’s unity in diversity. It is heartening to see KL Wellness City lead by example in giving back to the community while preserving cultural traditions. KL Wellness City’s commitment to supporting underprivileged communities while fostering a wellness-focused lifestyle sets a meaningful example of how corporations can positively impact society.”
“As Malaysia takes on the role of ASEAN Chair this year, initiatives like these showcase the nation’s leadership in cultural preservation, inclusivity, and community engagement. Tourism is not just about places—it’s about people, traditions, and the shared experiences that bring us together. I applaud KL Wellness City for creating a celebration that embodies these values.”
In his opening address, Dato’ Dr. Colin Lee, Managing Director of KL Wellness City, emphasized KLWC’s vision for a wellness-driven and inclusive community, while highlighting the unique essence of this year’s Chap Goh Mei celebration:
“KL Wellness City’s Chap Goh Mei celebration goes beyond the usual food, drinks, and festivities. It offers a distinctive experience that blends cultural heritage, wellness, and community support, setting it apart from conventional celebrations. Today, we come together for a heartwarming gathering with children from five orphanage homes, followed by vibrant lion dance and emperor drum performances, along with traditional activities designed to capture the unique essence of Chap Goh Mei.
In addition to today’s festivities, KL Wellness City extended its spirit of giving last month by presenting financial contributions to five elderly care homes in the Klang Valley, along with angpau distributions to spread festive cheer.
This year is a momentous one for Malaysia as we proudly take on the role of ASEAN Chair, highlighting our leadership within the region. For KL Wellness City, it is equally special as we continue to champion our position as ASEAN’s first integrated healthcare and wellness city. This celebration of Chap Goh Mei is not only a reflection of our cultural heritage but also a testament to our commitment to fostering unity and wellness across the ASEAN community. We are proud to align our efforts with the spirit of collaboration and inclusivity that this year represents.”
