Group managing director of Media Prima Rafiq Razali said: "Kuih Piknik is our unique way to embrace the multicultural spirit that defines our country and celebrate occasions that bring us together as Malaysians.
"As the nation's leading media group, we have the tools to create an event that helps unify Malaysians under one umbrella and inspire a sense of patriotism by celebrating the traditions and heritage of kuih, our mouth-watering Malaysian snack and sweets.
"Whether it's kuih lapis, ang ku or putu mayam, we cherish these delectable kuih at all times. Organising events that unify Malaysians brings so much joy to us at Media Prima as we value diversity in our company. We look forward to seeing all of you there!" he added.
Media Prima's Manis Pahit Bersama campaign aims to bring people together and strengthen relationships among the rakyat through their love for kuih. The company hopes the finale of its campaign will create a sense of togetherness and unite people to celebrate Hari Kebangsaan and Hari Malaysia.
