HEINEKEN Cares: Empowering Sabahans for a Better Future

HEINEKEN Cares: Mulinah's thriving farm

HEINEKEN Malaysia’s Seven-Year Journey of Uplifting Communities in Sabah Through Meaningful Partnerships

SABAH, 21 November 2024 – In many rural communities, progress is a journey shaped by collective effort, with each member having an important role to play. This holds true in Sabah, where HEINEKEN Malaysia has developed long-term partnerships with a local radio station and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to uplift communities and create a lasting impact by developing water systems, establishing organic farms, and organising women’s capability programmes. Over seven years, these efforts have empowered the community to build a future where they can thrive independently.

Since 2017, HEINEKEN Malaysia has worked with KupiKupi FM, Soroptimist International Region of Malaysia (SIROM), and Hopes Malaysia to improve clean water access by establishing rainwater harvesting systems and gravity water systems in several villages across Sabah. These NGOs provide essential support and resources to communities in 8 villages.

The villagers are then trained and empowered to manage and maintain the systems, some of which are connected to their community farms. Through the collaboration with these three local partners, 8 water systems have been set up, with more than 7,000 community members benefitting from the water systems, making a huge difference during dry seasons.

Stefban Sindeh, a community member from Kampung Kiau Taburi, Kota Belud shared, “I still remember back when we had to travel to the river to carry water back to our homes. Today, our village enjoys water supply for our daily home needs, crops, and fish farming. Having access to a clean and safe water supply means a lot to us and we thank our partners from Hopes Malaysia and HEINEKEN Malaysia for their support!”

HEINEKEN Cares: Florence harvesting vegetables from the farm for her family

Meanwhile, HEINEKEN Malaysia also collaborated with SIROM to roll out a series of initiatives in Sabah that to empower women in rural communities, which provides extra income to the villagers and further enhances their quality of life. One of the programmes includes establishing two acres of land for the organic farm which is connected to the gravity-fed water system for channelling water from a mountain stream to the village. With a reliable water supply to the organic farm, the women were trained to grow crops like leafy greens, corn and tomatoes for their own consumption. The steady supply of nutritious food and clean water helps improve the health and well-being of the villagers.

Laisah Udan, Head of Kampung Gana Women’s Association, shared that “With SIROM and HEINEKEN Malaysia’s support, we have been able to start farming and growing our own food. They helped us set up the farm and taught us how to grow our crops, which has been really meaningful. Now, we have fresh produce straight from our land and clean water every day. We’ve also registered our business to sell our excess produce at the local market! Each harvest helps us become more self-sufficient, strengthening our community.”

As a result, close to 40 women in the community are now empowered and trained in organic farming methods, earning additional income and achieving financial independence while contributing to their households.

Over the past seven years, communities in rural Sabah have seen positive improvements through the collaborative efforts between HEINEKEN Malaysia, and local NGOs under the HEINEKEN Cares programme.

Keeping the momentum, the brewer is continuing its commitment to support local communities with the latest phase of its HEINEKEN Cares programme, launched in November 2024. This phase supports four NGOs focused on selected causes related to water access and food security. For every RM10 donated, HEINEKEN Malaysia will contribute an additional RM40, amplifying the effect of each contribution. Explore the campaign site at sokong.org/campaigns/heineken-cares-2024 and be a part of creating impact today..

This partnership aims to introduce telehealth services within our tourism industry and create a safer bubble for travellers here in Malaysia

PAHANG, 21 November 2024 – MyCLNQ Health, Malaysia’s leading health tech company, has partnered with The Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands, introducing seamless telehealth services designed to elevate guest experiences by providing immediate healthcare access from the comfort of their rooms. Nestled amidst a picturesque 7-acre hill between Tanah Rata and Brinchang in Cameron Highlands, Strawberry Park Resort offers the perfect retreat for holidaymakers and business travellers alike. Now, with this collaboration, guests can enjoy peace of mind with on-demand healthcare services during their stay.

As Malaysia experiences a surge in tourism, welcoming over 9.48 million visitors in the first half of 2024 alone, many travellers remain cautious about their health and safety while away from home. Medical tourism, where healthcare and hospitality converge, has become an attractive offering for destinations. MyCLNQ Health addresses these concerns by offering an innovative solution: instant access to medical professionals through its telemedicine platform, enhancing Malaysia’s position as a forward-thinking travel destination blending wellness with world-class hospitality.

Guests at Strawberry Park Resort, recently recognised as the Award Winner Family Resort of the Year at the TDM Travel Trade Excellent Award 2024, can now consult doctors virtually, order prescribed medications for delivery, or request in-room emergency visits—all without leaving the comfort of their hotel rooms. This service ensures an additional layer of security for travellers, especially in light of health concerns such as the recent Mpox outbreak.

“Travelling can be stressful, especially when healthcare needs arise. Our telehealth service allows guests to access trusted medical care without leaving their rooms, creating a safe environment for all visitors to Malaysia,” said Anwar Rafique, Co-Founder and CEO of MyCLNQ Health. “We are excited to partner with Strawberry Park Resort to introduce our services in Cameron Highlands, a beloved retreat for both local and international travellers. Together, we’re setting a new standard for integrating healthcare into the tourism experience.”

Through the MyCLNQ Health app, resort guests can connect with certified healthcare providers from 9 AM to 9 PM. Services range from virtual consultations to prescription deliveries. After a brief phone consultation, guests can order medication for delivery directly to their rooms.

With this added advantage, hotel guests can enjoy a unique service that seamlessly integrates healthcare into their stay—something not commonly offered by many hotels or resorts.

“With the growing demand for telehealth and the booming tourism industry, this added advantage, hotel guests can enjoy a unique service that seamlessly integrates healthcare into their stay—something not commonly offered by many hotels or resorts.,” said John Yeo, Resident Manager of Strawberry Park Resort. “By integrating telehealth into our offerings, we aim to provide a seamless and secure experience for visitors, setting a benchmark for other hospitality providers in Malaysia.”

As part of the Ministry of Health’s Sandbox programme, MyCLNQ Health continues to enhance its services for a diverse customer base through innovative digital tools and partnerships. This collaboration with Strawberry Park Resort marks another step forward in bridging healthcare and hospitality, enriching the travel experience for both local and international guests.

This is the inspiration behind the launch of bibigo Ramyun as the perfect late-night companion, bringing happiness to everyone’s late-night moments. Additionally, we are excited to collaborate with Wootteo — a cute character designed by a world-renowned K-POP artist — featured in a special package design collection available exclusively in Thailand.” Mr. Kim Dong Hyun wrapped.
