The Iconic Hotel Penang started off its Christmas Tree tree lighting ceremony to mark the start off the holiday season.

In keeping with their role to help the underprivileged, boys from the Salvation Army Home were invited to join in the fun.

The boys from the home presented Christmas carols and an entertainment routine followed by the Iconic Hotel staff performance.

In his opening address, general manager, Kevin Cheah said that although it is great to be back and meeting you all face to face, he reminded everyone not to forget the existing SOPs.

“Christmas is a special time for giving thanks, a time to look back and to look forward, a time to be with family whether they are close at hand or simply in your thoughts – This is a time to remember and reflect.

“Although it has been tough for all of us because of Covid. Thank god we managed to overcome all the challenges with your support. Not forgetting each team member of the hotel and our owning company for being there when we need most,” said Cheah.
