  "summary": "Nestlé Malaysia and the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) have prepared 7,000 flood aid packs worth about RM1.8 million to support families in flood-prone communities as the monsoon season approaches. The relief supplies are already being sent to Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu, with a separate initiative in Sabah mobilising 40 volunteers to prepare 1,000 aid bags for deployment within the state. The annual Nationwide Flood Aid Relief initiative marks the fourth consecutive year of collaboration between Nestlé Malaysia and MRC, providing assistance to over 30,000 families affected by floods since 2023. The aid packs contain essential food and beverage products, including Milo, Nescafe, Maggi, Nestlé breakfast cereals, and more. The Kuala Lumpur packing exercise involved Nestlé Malaysia employees, MRC volunteers, and representatives from various universities. The initiative also involves the National Disaster Management Agency and its agencies as partners in this year's relief efforts.",
