KL Wellness City (KLWC) launched “Sejahtera Raya Bersama KLWC”, a festive gathering that united the community through cultural performances, traditional foods, and a special Hari Raya music video. The event at the KLWC Show Gallery in Bukit Jalil showcased KLWC’s dedication to community spirit, well-being, and inclusivity.
In her speech, represented by the Executive Director of DBKL, Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Seri TPr (Dr.) Maimunah Binti Mohd Sharif, the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, commended KLWC’s efforts to promote community bonding and generosity during Hari Raya. “We are reminded of the importance of togetherness and well-being. KLWC’s initiative reflects the values that make Kuala Lumpur a city of compassion,” she stated.
Also present was Y. M. Tengku Dato’ Dr. Hishammuddin Zaizi Bin Y.A.M. Tengku Bendahara Azman Shah Alhaj, the VIP Guest, among other distinguished attendees.
A highlight of the event was the debut of a special Hari Raya music video, capturing nostalgia, unity, and togetherness—a tribute to the festive spirit. The video features over 25 KLWC staff members singing, dancing, and acting under the leadership of Dato’ Sri Dr. Vincent Tiew, who noted that celebrating Malaysia’s festive seasons, from Chinese New Year to Raya, is a cherished KLWC tradition. He expressed hope to continue this meaningful tradition for years to come.
Giving Back: Spreading Raya Joy to Underprivileged Children
“Sejahtera Raya Bersama KLWC” was not only a celebration but also an effort to give back. During Ramadan and Hari Raya, KLWC donated RM12,500 to five orphanages, showing its commitment to support 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 (PERNIM)
Since last year, KLWC has expanded its charitable work to over 28 homes for the elderly and orphanages during festive celebrations, including Hari Raya, helping more communities enjoy 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 Dato’ Dr. Colin Lee, Managing Director of KL Wellness City. “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: Wellness and Medical Excellence in KLWC
Beyond the celebrations, KLWC is making strides in developing a world-class wellness hub. Since launching Phase One in May 2024, the project has reached 50% structural completion ahead of schedule. The KL International Hospital (KLIH) and The Nobel Healthcare Park are set to open in late 2026, strengthening Kuala Lumpur’s position as a centre for medical tourism. Plans for a helipad are also underway to enhance emergency response capabilities.
In her speech, Dato’ Seri 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 1.33-acre 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.”
Dato’ Dr Colin 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.”
