KUALA LUMPUR, 16 DECEMBER 2025 – The halls of Pavilion Bukit Jalil were filled with an extra dose of joy and laughter this festive season as more than 200 little legends and their families from the Nicol David Organisation’s experienced a magical Christmas celebration they will not soon forget. From the excitement of a movie screening to the thrill of a shopping spree, the day was designed to give these inspiring children a holiday experience filled with wonder, warmth, and the simple joy of being celebrated.
For many of these children, the day at Pavilion Bukit Jalil was a first. The adventure began with a special screening of Zootopia 2, where the children were transported into a world of animated wonder. The magic continued with a delightful meet-and-greet with Peanuts mascots, followed by a hearty lunch and refreshments. As the atmosphere buzzed with excitement, the highlight many had been waiting for had arrived: a shopping spree at Parkson.
Pavilion REIT Malls contributed RM20,000 in Parkson shopping vouchers, transforming an ordinary shopping trip into an extraordinary experience. With dedicated volunteers by their side, the children explored the store, carefully selecting items and experiencing the joy of choosing something special for themselves. For children who are more accustomed to focusing on necessities, this moment of abundance was particularly meaningful – a chance to feel valued, celebrated, and cared for during the festive season.
The heartwarming initiative is a testament to the growing partnership between Pavilion REIT Malls and the Nicol David Organisation – a collaboration rooted in a shared belief that every child deserves opportunities to dream bigger. Earlier this year at the Pavilion Leadership Series, both organisations announced their two-year partnership, marking the beginning of a journey to empower young Malaysians through meaningful experiences and support. Since then, Pavilion REIT Malls served as venue sponsor for NDO’s successful Sports Summit at Pavilion Bukit Jalil, with this Christmas celebration continuing that momentum and more exciting initiatives already in the pipeline for next year.
At the heart of this partnership are the Little Legends themselves – children aged 8-13 from mid to low-income families who are being nurtured through NDO’s holistic after-school programme. Founded by squash legend Datuk Nicol David, Little Legends goes beyond sports, combining squash training with English tutoring and life-skills workshops to instill confidence, discipline, and resilience in children who might not otherwise have access to such opportunities.
This Christmas celebration reflects Pavilion REIT Malls’ evolving vision of what a mall can be – not just a place for transactions, but a community space where meaningful connections are made and positive change is nurtured. Through their support of NDO’s initiatives and creating experiences that go beyond retail, Pavilion REIT Malls is demonstrating that their commitment to the community runs deeper than storefronts and sales.
As the day drew to a close, the Little Legends left Pavilion Bukit Jalil having experienced something meaningful: the feeling of being seen, celebrated, and supported. In a season that’s all about giving, Pavilion REIT Malls and the Nicol David Organisation have given these Little Legends something truly valuable – not just gifts and experiences, but the message that they matter, their dreams are worth nurturing, and that their community believes in them.
