'The Glittering Baubles of Life,' Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s 2017 Christmas charity project, successfully raised funds to heal disadvantaged children with heart ailments and other afflictions. Donors who pledged a minimum of RM1000 received one of 190 ornaments, which were used to adorn the towering tree in the hotel’s lobby. Lovingly crafted out of chocolate and marzipan by the hotel’s pastry team, each bauble represents a life given to a child. The official tree lighting ceremony was a real treat for the visiting group of underprivileged and refugee children from Tasputra Perkim, Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Taman Megah and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee (UNHCR).
