Yayasan MR DIY, the philanthropic arm of MR DIY Group, brings the Chinese New Year joy to residents of 14 charitable homes and care centres across the country with its “Ular-lar” initiative.
The foundation led a team of volunteers consisting of MR DIY employees, to deliver “Ular-lar” care boxes to a mix of homes – orphanages, old folk homes and homes for individuals with disabilities, benefitting about 700 individuals.
The boxes were filled with Chinese New Year goodies and everyday essentials.

At the Yayasan Sunbeams Home, an orphanage in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, the team filled the air with joyous sounds of celebration as they hosted games, performed MR DIY’s CNY ‘Ular-lar’dance with the residents and decorated the home for the festive season.
They also organised a “lou sang” session, during which MR DIY Group’s vice president of marketing Alex Goh presented the home with RM3,000 worth of MR DIY shopping vouchers.
Yayasan MR DIY chief executive officer Zaleha Mohd Mydin said, “Chinese New Year is all about reuniting with family, friends and loved ones; however, not everyone has the opportunity to experience that. At Yayasan MR DIY, our mission is to ensure no one is left out of the festivities.”
“Our team went above and beyond this year by injecting the spirit of oooh-la-la into the festivities through our ‘Ular-lar’ initiative. A heartfelt thank you to the homes across Malaysia for working with us to make the festive season meaningful for their residents.
“We wish everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year; may this new year bring good fortune and wellbeing to all,” added Zaleha.
