Hotel staff has been busy packing premium dates imported from Saudi Arabia to be distributed to its clients and the less fortunate during the holy month.
"This is our way of giving back to . society. We have lines up several charity programmes during this period. The dates, for example, will be given to orphans, single mothers and the poor.
"We have been packing the dates since last week. We order one tonne of premium dates every year for this purpose," said the hotel's general manager, Dev Singh.
Outside the hotel, decorations of lighting were being set up, with trees near the hotel's entrance decorated like Singapore's Orchard Road during festivities.
"We want to add colour to the celebration. At the lobby, we will install similar lighting that change its colour at intervals. It will be beautiful."
A variety of dishes will be prepared for Ramadan from tomorrow until Aug 18 at Myra Bistro with the theme, Ramadan World.
From traditional local cuisine to Western and the Mediterranean, people will be spoilt for choice dining at the bistro from 7pm to 9.30pm.
The buffet spread is priced at RM68++ per adult, and RM30++ for children aged between 5 and 12.
