Siti Khadijah, Malaysia Airports Partner To Enhance KLIA Prayer Facilities

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- Siti Khadijah Apparel Sdn Bhd (Siti Khadijah) and Malaysia Airports have signed a sponsorship agreement to enhance prayer facilities for Muslim passengers at KLIA Terminal 1.

In a statement today, Siti Khadijah said the sponsorship would involve the gradual supply of its prayer essentials to prayer rooms at the terminal to provide greater comfort for Muslim passengers performing their prayers before continuing their journeys.

The initiative will begin at the Viewing Deck Area prayer room, where prayer essentials for male and female worshippers will be provided, along with improvements to display racks and facilities incorporating the brand's elements.

This will be extended to several other prayer rooms at KLIA Terminal 1 in stages, with supplies tailored to the needs of each location.

Among the items provided are the Telekung Modish Zaila for female worshippers, Pelikat Rena An-Nafees from the TEMAN men's collection and Sejadah Hazrat Carpet.

Siti Khadijah Group chief executive officer Mohammad Munzir Aminuddin said the one-year sponsorship agreement would allow the company to extend its role in meeting the needs of the Muslim community.

"Travel takes us to various destinations, but performing prayers remains an essential part of a Muslim's daily routine.

"Through this initiative, we can provide Siti Khadijah prayer essentials at prayer rooms in KLIA Terminal 1, allowing passengers to perform their prayers more comfortably," he said.

He hoped the initiative would enhance passengers' experience and pave the way for continued collaboration between Siti Khadijah and Malaysia Airports.

Meanwhile, KLIA senior general manager (Passenger Experience and Operations)  Abd Hasman Abd Muhimim said efforts to maintain the facilities would include regular cleaning, with the prayer garments washed twice a week to ensure users' comfort.

"Enhancing the passenger experience at KLIA is not limited to facilities and operational efficiency, but also includes their comfort and needs while at the airport," he said.

He said Malaysia Airports remained committed to improving the airport environment and thanked Siti Khadijah for supporting efforts to provide a better experience for visitors to the country's main gateway.
