SHAH ALAM - Malaysian favourite noodles, Maggi is holding its "Jom Masak & Berkongsi Bersama" contest with RM135,000 worth of prizes up for grabs in conjunction with Hari Gawai.

Money collected from entry forms will be donated to two charity organisations, Hope Place and Special Needs Society Kuching in Sarawak.

Business Executive Officer of Maggi, Nestle (Malaysia) Berhad Geetha Balakrishna said its an honour to be a part of the Sarawakian kitchen.

"Every year, we look forward to participating in this celebration of the culture and heritage of Sarawak.

"We at Maggi believe that through the goodness of homemade food, there is an opportunity to make a positive difference, for our loved ones and the community," she said in a statement.

Geetha also said in line with Maggi’s brand, 'You and Maggi Cook the Difference', cooking goes beyond merely satiating one’s appetite.

"Maggi strives to empower Malaysians in their culinary journeys, especially in creating good food moments with their loved ones," she added.

Meanwhile, President of Special Needs Society Kuching Joseph K L Chuo has urged the public to join in the community efforts to impart hope, compassion and love to the underserved segment of the society.

"The Gawai festival has always been synonymous with the spirit of caring and togetherness. We believe that expressing concern to those in need and caring for the special needs is a shared responsibility.

"We are glad that Maggi is one of the caring corporate citizens and we appreciate all their contributions and support," he said.

Hope Place has also expressed appreciation as it will make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged.

Hope Place serves more than 200 needy families in and around Kuching with basic food aid and necessities, meanwhile Special Needs Society Kuching provides shelter home programmes to about 40 young adults with special needs within the city.

The Maggi "Jom Masak & Berkongsi Bersama" contest will run until June 30.
