RMHC Malaysia and McDonald’s Celebrate Hari Raya with Underprivileged Children Through Festive Open House and Gift-Giving

A delightful movie day brought together more than 160 children from various orphanages for a special screening of A Minecraft Movie on 3 May 2025, creating memories filled with fun and excitement. Organised by Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) Malaysia in partnership with McDonald’s Malaysia, the event was hosted at TGV Cinemas, Jaya Shopping Centre, and welcomed children and caretakers from four homes: Padmasambhava Children Loving Association Klang Selangor, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak Yatim Mary K.L, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Ehsan Ash-Shakur, and Pertubuhan Pendidikan Anak-Anak Yatim Selangor.

To extend their support beyond just entertainment, RMHC Malaysia presented a total donation of RM10,000 to the participating orphanages, reaffirming their commitment to improving the lives of children in need. The experience was further enriched by McDonald’s Malaysia, who provided meals for all attendees after the screening and organised a birthday celebration for children born in April and May, adding a personal and joyful touch to the occasion.

This event was part of a broader global collaboration between McDonald’s and Warner Bros. Entertainment, with A Minecraft Movie serving as a key highlight for 2025. The initiative continues a meaningful tradition of movie day outings hosted by RMHC Malaysia and McDonald’s Malaysia in collaboration with TGV Cinemas. Previous screenings included popular titles like Minions: The Rise of Gru in 2022 and Despicable Me 4 in 2024, collectively bringing joy to more than 360 children over the years.

Dato’ Haji Azmir Jaafar, President of RMHC Malaysia, shared that such experiences are vital in creating moments of happiness and inclusion for children who often face life’s challenges at a young age. “It’s about more than just entertainment—it’s about showing these children that they are seen, valued, and cared for,” he said.

In addition to events like this, RMHC Malaysia continues to make a meaningful difference through its core programs: the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Sensory Room, Gift of Smile Program, and Back-to-School Program. These initiatives collectively support the health, education, and emotional well-being of underprivileged children across the nation, staying true to the charity’s mission of offering comfort and care where it’s needed most.
