The first Ronald McDonald House in the ASEAN region was established in 1999 and is located at the Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (formerly known as Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia), this "home away from home" is to provide temporary accommodation to families who make the journey to Kuala Lumpur for various medical treatments for their children at the hospital.

RMHC Malaysia also manages the Gift of Smile that provides FREE corrective surgeries for children born with cleft lip and palate.  The Gift of Smile is in partnership with Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur and McDonald's Malaysia.

The Ronald McDonald Sensory Room is another project for children with special needs. RMHC Malaysia donates imported multi-sensory equipment to non-profit organizations that help special children.

In 1997, RMHC Malaysia started TUNAS WAWASAN. The program is designed to financially assist students with academic potential from low income families. First began in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, this program has now expanded nationwide.

 

 

 

Every year, RMHC Malaysia organizes various functions during festive seasons to enable children in welfare homes to be part of the festivities that other children may take for granted.

Various donations are also made throughout the year to help financial-distressed parents meet medical expenses for their children or to children whose families have experienced natural catastrophes.
