KUCHING, Thursday – Dr. Mornie Kambrie is the first of many lucky draw winners, having received a free entrance ticket to the Borneo Jazz music festival.
He received the ticket when he found the ‘lucky number’ sticker under his cup during his MASwings flight, MH3201 from Kota Kinabalu to Miri, this morning.
The giving away of the free ticket is a special promotion between the festival organizer, STB and MASwings, which also gives special fares up to 70% off on flights to the festival cities in addition to the lucky draws on board the plane.
The Board promises more lucky draws where passengers on any MASWing’s flights to Miri and Kuching have chances of winning passes to the Borneo Jazz and Rainforest World Music Festival.
The Board also signed an agreement with Malaysia Airlines Berhad on April 12, solidifying the Airline’s place as the presenting sponsor for the Borneo Jazz and Rainforest World Music Festival for the next two years as well as paving the way for more fare promotions in the near future.
The Borneo Jazz Festival will be staged on the weekend of May 13 and 14 at the ParkCity Everly Hotel in Miri and featuring Jazz bands from around the world.
