In the spirit of compassion, generosity and togetherness that defines the holy month of Ramadan, Eastin Hotel Penang warmly welcomed 25 students and 5 teachers from Ma’had Tahfiz Al Ahmad Darul Quran for a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) iftar gathering at the hotel.

The students and teachers were treated to a warm and memorable buka puasa experience at the hotel’s Ramadan buffet, where the atmosphere reflected the essence of the sacred month. More than just a shared meal, the gathering created a space for reflection, appreciation and togetherness. As the call to prayer signaled the breaking of fast, the students and teachers gathered in quiet anticipation before beginning their iftar, embracing the blessings and spiritual significance of the moment.
Adding to the joy of the evening, each student and teacher received a specially prepared goodie bag from the hotel as a token of appreciation and care. The thoughtful gesture symbolised the spirit of giving that lies at the heart of Ramadan, ensuring they left not only with full hearts and fond memories, but also with a small reminder of the shared celebration.
