RMHC Malaysia and McDonald’s Malaysia Light Up Children’s Day with Special Minecraft Movie Experience. Ronald McDonald House Charities Malaysia (RMHC Malaysia), in collaboration with McDonald’s Malaysia, recently brought joy and excitement to over 160 underprivileged children through a special movie screening of A Minecraft Movie on 3 May 2025. Held at TGV Cinemas, Jaya Shopping Centre, the event welcomed children and caretakers from four orphanages—Padmasambhava Children Loving Association Klang Selangor, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak Yatim Mary K.L, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Ehsan Ash-Shakur, and Pertubuhan Pendidikan Anak-Anak Yatim Selangor—for a heartwarming day of entertainment, connection, and celebration.
This meaningful initiative was further strengthened with a generous RM10,000 donation from RMHC Malaysia to the participating homes, reaffirming the organisation’s enduring commitment to uplifting underprivileged children across the country. Adding to the festive atmosphere, McDonald’s Malaysia treated attendees to delicious meals after the screening and celebrated the birthdays of children born in April and May—creating a truly memorable experience for all.
The movie day out is part of McDonald’s global collaboration with Warner Bros. Entertainment, which highlights A Minecraft Movie as one of the key features for 2025. This initiative continues a long-standing tradition between RMHC Malaysia, McDonald’s Malaysia, and TGV Cinemas, which has seen hundreds of children enjoy exciting film outings in recent years. Past screenings included fan favorites like Minions: The Rise of Gru in 2022 and Despicable Me 4 in 2024. Collectively, more than 360 children have benefitted from these joyful experiences, many of whom might not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy such moments.
Dato’ Haji Azmir Jaafar, President of RMHC Malaysia, emphasized the importance of creating opportunities like these: “Moments like these remind us of the importance of creating meaningful experiences for children, especially those who may not often have access to them. We are committed to supporting the well-being of underprivileged children in Malaysia, not just through our core programs, but also through special initiatives like this that bring smiles and joy.”
Beyond special events, RMHC Malaysia runs four core programs dedicated to improving the health and welfare of children in need—the Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Sensory Room, Gift of Smile Program, and Back-to-School Program. These initiatives reflect the organisation’s holistic approach to supporting children and their families, ensuring long-term care and meaningful impact.
Established in 1990, RMHC Malaysia is a non-profit organisation dedicated to removing barriers to care, strengthening families, and promoting healing for children in need of medical attention. Over the past 34 years, RMHC Malaysia has touched the lives of more than 250,000 children through its efforts in health, education, and welfare, supported by over RM60 million in funding. These programmes are made possible through the generosity of the public, with donations collected via coin boxes at McDonald’s restaurants and contributions from corporate sponsors.
