IN appreciation of their work in maintaining security during the movement control order (MCO), a hotel in Batu Ferringhi has been providing lunch and dinner daily to the police and armed forces personnel manning the roadblock along Batu Ferringhi Road.
Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa general manager Elaine Yue said they have been consistently serving the meals to the security personnel since the MCO was enforced on March 18.
“The Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa’s dedicated culinary team made a pledge to continue serving more than 20 personnel daily,” Yue said.
“To make the menu more appetising, the kitchen team prepares different sets of meals for lunch and dinner.
“In addition to serving meals, the resort allows the security personnel to access the resort’s restrooms, shower rooms and surau.
“During this difficult time to contain the spread of Covid-19, the resort has also extended support by installing piped water on site and provided electricity supply,” she added.
Yue said with Ramadan beginning soon, the resort is committed to preparing the breaking of fast (buka puasa) meals for the personnel stationed at the roadblock until the end of the MCO period.
“Although the resort is closed to staying guests, we are still operating on a limited capacity with a focus on takeaway food
“The least we can do now is to provide some measure of comfort, proper meals, and amenities for the hardworking officers.
“Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa has always played its part as a responsible corporate citizen by supporting the police and armed forces at the frontline on a daily basis.
“We believe that having a decent environment, nutritious meal and refreshing drinks build high level of morale among the dedicated personnel and encourage them to look forward to going a long way during the period of their duty,” she stressed.
