The general manager of Hard Rock Hotel Penang, John Primmer, said that the hotel’s windows were lit up to instill hope to the local community affected by COVID-19 and raise the spirits of Malaysia’s devoted frontlines who are fighting this battle.
Their ongoing commitment to the residents’ health and safety is indeed evidence of great leadership to the world.
Shining a light to help spark hope and solidarity
Primmer also dedicated this glowing light display to show solidarity and continuous support to our employees and travel trade partners affected by the curtailed international tourism.
“Although our doors are currently closed, our hearts remain open with our motto ‘Love All, Serve All,’” he added.
