Boustead Properties and The Curve bring joy and festive cheer to the less fortunate at four homes who are impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration.

Boustead Properties, developer of the Mutiara Hills township in Semenyih, contributed RM15,000 to three homes within the area, namely Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Cornerstone Selangor, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Al-Fattah and Joy Garden Old Folks Home, benefitting a total of 82 residents consisting of children and senior citizens.

In addition, representatives from the Curve, a shopping mall under Boustead Properties, visited a nearby old folk’s home, the Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Kenang Budi Kuala Lumpur, and distributed necessities such as rice, oil, flour, sugar and other grocery items, along with face masks and hand sanitisers for its 15 senior residents.
