A heartwarming wave of unity swept through Malaysia as WM Senibong’s Walk for Hope Charity Walkathon rallied over 1,000 Malaysians for autism awareness.
💙 Johor Bahru Comes Together for Autism Support
The community spirit in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, hit an all time wholesome high as WM Senibong successfully raised RM100,000 through its Walk for Hope Charity Walkathon a meaningful effort dedicated to supporting individuals with autism.
Held at Emerald 3, Crest@Austin, the event turned an ordinary morning into a celebration of inclusion, understanding and Malaysian kindness.
With over 1,000 participants showing up before sunrise, the walk brought together families, students, corporate teams and young Malaysians who simply wanted to do something good. Children from Hope Garden also joined in, making the event even more touching.
🏃♀️ Community Vibes, Performances and Feel Good Energy
The event wasn’t just a walk, it was a full-on community carnival.
Participants enjoyed:
- Stage performances
- Kids activities and fun games

Special guests YB Jimmy Puah Wee Tse (MP for Tebrau) and YB Amira Aisya binti Abdul Aziz (ADUN Puteri Wangsa) were also present, showing strong support for the cause.
But the highlight came during the cheque presentation, where WM Senibong officially contributed RM100,000 to Hope Garden helping strengthen education, early support and care for children with autism.
