“It has been a tradition to celebrate the lighting of our Christmas tree, as the lights are a reminder of the warmth and light we bring to each other’s lives, especially during challenging times.
“Equally, highlighting the significance of coming together as a community to celebrate and share in the joy of the festive season,” said general manager of Hilton Kuching, Adrian Teh during the tree lighting recently.
This year, Hilton Kuching collectively contributed Christmas gifts for over 100 under privileged children, aged from one to 17, and essential household items for about 10 needy families.
