MIRI (June 25): The Persatuan Prihatin Masyarakat Miri (PPMM) will be holding a 'Kek-Nyalang' multicultural cake sharing charity event on July 22 at Boulevard Shopping Mall, from 2pm to 4pm, in conjunction with Sarawak Day.
PPMM president and event organising chairman Lee Jun Tak said the event, carrying the theme 'Ethnic and Cultural Diversity', is an initiative to celebrate and support individuals with different abilities (OKU).
'Several OKU-related organisations have been invited to participate in the programme.
'Additionally, over 50 locally known cake brands from Miri will be taking part, offering more than 100 types of special cakes for visitors to enjoy. It is a dessert day for a charitable cause,' he said.
Lee added that the programme aims to raise public awareness about the underprivileged and promote kindness through the practice of giving.
Visitors are welcome to bring their own cakes to share and, in return, they may also enjoy the variety of cakes provided at the event.
Those who do not bring a cake but wish to join the cake-tasting session can make a contribution of RM50, which entitles them to sample all the cakes available.
'The monetary contribution will be fully donated to the Oikos Centre Miri to help cover the centre's daily operating costs and support families in need,' said Lee.
He added that each OKU representative from the invited organisations will receive a 5kg bag of rice, sponsored by Tong Seng Huat Rice Trading Sdn Bhd, as a token of appreciation for their support.
Members of the public are encouraged to participate in the meaningful community programme to help spread the spirit of compassion and love towards the underprivileged.
