Kuala Lumpur, 3 March 2026 – With Malaysia’s National Health and Morbidity Survey suggesting that more than 1 in 2 adults currently living with overweight or obesity(1), the need for a unified response is more urgent. Malaysia now ranks among Southeast Asia’s highest obesity rates, affecting over half of adults. This is a trend that continues to rise and place pressure on families, healthcare systems and the nation’s long-term productivity. In conjunction with World Obesity Day and International Women’s Day, Novo Nordisk Pharma (Malaysia) brought together the voices of healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, and people living with obesity to reframe how the nation understands and addresses this chronic disease. 

Anchored under the theme Women in Leadership and Health, the discussion emphasised the need for driving equity, leadership, and systemic reform for women, especially in improving outcomes for who disproportionately experience the complexities of living with overweight or obesity.

Obesity is increasingly recognized as a chronic, progressive disease shaped by biological, social, and environmental influences. Globally, women generally have a higher percentage of body fat content compared to men, and gender appears to be an important factor in the manifestation of central or peripheral obesity(2). When it comes to weight management, studies comparing diet and exercise interventions have shown that men generally lose weight more easily than women due to differences in body composition(3), as well as basal metabolic rate and energy expenditure(4).

Dr. Praful Chakkarwar, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Pharma (M) Sdn.Bhd., delivering his welcome note at Novo Nordisk’s International Women’s Day and World Obesity Day media event.

Dr. Praful Chakkarwar, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Malaysia said, “In Malaysia, women living with overweight or obesity often face a disproportionate burden, not only in terms of health outcomes, but also through persistent societal stereotypes that frame weight as a measure of discipline, appearance, or personal failure. These narratives can delay diagnosis, limit access to appropriate care, and contribute to stigma in healthcare settings, workplaces, and daily life. At Novo Nordisk, it is our commitment to support efforts that improve understanding, reduce stigma, and strengthen responsible, evidence-based obesity care in Malaysia.”

Professor Dr. Rohana binti Abdul Ghani, President of the Malaysian Obesity Society (MYOS) and Senior Consultant Endocrinologist added, “According to research(5), 45% of people living with overweight or obesity experience ongoing weight-related challenges, with nearly half feeling controlled by their weight and 57% relapsing into previous eating habits despite sustained efforts. These findings highlight that obesity is not a failure of willpower, but a chronic condition, one that calls for collective care, supportive environments, and shared responsibility from families, workplaces, healthcare systems and society at large.”

Shireen Kandiah, Director of Branding, Marketing, and Sustainability at the Asian Institute of Chartered Bankers (AICB) shared, “Supporting women to achieve and maintain better health, including a healthy weight, should not be treated as a peripheral workplace issue. It is a leadership decision that shapes culture, builds confidence and drives long-term organisational resilience and talent outcomes. When workplaces embed practical support such as flexible time for healthcare appointments and credible health education to policies that prioritise wellbeing without judgement, women are better able to sustain healthy routines alongside professional and caregiving responsibilities, strengthening productivity and contributing to more equitable and resilient societies.”

Sharon Foo, Group Chief Human Resource Officer, IHH Healthcare highlighted that, “The global call of World Obesity Day reminds us that there are 8 billion reasons to act. When we invest in the right infrastructure and access to support women’s health, providing her with the resources, the time, and the supportive environment she needs, we aren’t just helping one person, we are creating a ripple effect. When a woman is healthy, it leads to a healthy family, which builds a healthy workplace, and ultimately, a resilient community.” 

Ili Sulaiman, Celebrity Chef, TV Personality, and Health Advocate said, “Taking the first step to manage weight is never just a personal decision, it’s an emotional journey. Being surrounded with the right support system be it colleagues, friends, families, or even healthcare professionals make all the difference. When support is present, progress becomes more sustainable, setbacks feel less defeating, and managing weight becomes a shared commitment to better health, not a solitary struggle.”

This International Women’s Day and World Obesity Day, Novo Nordisk calls for more Malaysians to elevate women’s voices, choosing non-stigmatising and person-first language, challenge outdated stereotypes, and encourage more inclusive, supportive approaches to prevention and obesity care. 

As Malaysia continues to grapple with rising obesity rates, the need to shift public conversation is clear. Rather than framing obesity as an individual responsibility, Novo Nordisk remains committed to working with partners across sectors to advance health equity, strengthen community awareness, and build a future where women and all Malaysians can achieve better health outcomes without stigma.

Coca-Cola Malaysia Shares Ramadan Blessings with Communities in a Series of Nationwide Activations

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 3 March 2026 – Coca-Cola Malaysia is embracing the spirit of Ramadan with a series of nationwide initiatives designed to uplift underserved communities across the country. Guided by the theme “Rezeki Dikongsi, Berkah Diperolehi,” the campaign brings together NGOs, corporate partners, and local community to foster togetherness while extending meaningful support to those in need.

The spirit of giving in Ramadan affirms that even simple gestures carry meaningful impact, and Coca-Cola Malaysia’s Ramadan activations put this into action by bringing people together and turning everyday moments into acts of kindness. At selected Bazar Ramadan locations, every Fanta sample given to the public contributed a Fanta bottle to underserved families. These small yet impactful efforts demonstrate how collective action can create real change for communities. The collective spirit extended to mosque-based initiatives, where volunteers came together to prepare iftar meals for the community. Everyday moments were transformed into acts of kindness, fostering a shared sense of purpose that reflects the true essence of Ramadan.

Ramadan blessings were extended to reach those who are often overlooked, making sure no one is left behind. Support reached behind-the-scenes workers, including gig riders who continue to serve communities throughout the festive season. As the official beverage partner, Coca-Cola Malaysia proudly supported selected iftar programmes dedicated to celebrating and appreciating their contributions. Through the wider food basket distribution programme, an estimated 15,000 of families nationwide are expected to benefit, spanning urban communities in Kuala Lumpur to rural areas in Semporna Sabah, enabling them to celebrate Ramadan with greater ease and joy.

“Ramadan reminds us that true connection is built on compassion and a shared sense of responsibility towards one another. It is a time when communities reflect on the importance of supporting those around us. At Coca-Cola Malaysia, we see this season as an opportunity to come together with partners and community members to encourage small acts of kindness that can ripple outward and touch many lives,” said Amanda Lin, Senior Director of Franchise Operations, The Coca-Cola Company for Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei.

Collaboration remains central to the initiative. Partnerships with organisations such as Yayasan Basmi Kemiskinan and Yayasan Ikhlas, alongside business partners including Lotus’s Malaysia and KFry, have helped ensure that assistance reaches communities where it is needed most. At the same time, employees were empowered

Kerry’s consumer research shows that digestive health has become the number one functional health need globally, with 76% of consumers believing gut health affects overall health and wellbeing

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kerry’s BC30™ (Bacillus coagulans GBI‑30, 6086), a resilient, spore‑forming probiotic ingredient, has received regulatory approval in Indonesia for use with the “Live Culture” claim across applicable general food categories. The approval follows the inclusion of BC30™ in Indonesia’s permitted microorganism list under PERBPOM No. 38/2023, which defines the microorganisms permitted for use in processed foods in Indonesia.

Products containing BC30™ may communicate “Live Culture” on pack and in marketing communications, in full compliance with Indonesia’s National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) requirements. The approval applies to general food categories, excluding Category 13.0 – Special Nutrition Products, which are regulated separately under Indonesia’s food category framework.

“This approval represents an important step forward for manufacturers looking to develop credible, compliant functional foods in Indonesia,” said Olivier De Salmiech, Vice President, Health & Therapies, Kerry Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa. “Being able to communicate a ‘Live Culture’ claim with BC30™ provides new opportunities to meet consumer interest in digestive health, while maintaining the formulation stability and quality required for food and beverage applications.”

Kerry’s consumer research shows that digestive health has become the number one functional health need globally, with 76% of consumers believing gut health affects overall health and wellbeing. Across Southeast Asia, consumers increasingly seek functional foods and beverages that support everyday digestive wellbeing.

Designed for food and beverage applications, BC30™ (Bacillus coagulans GBI‑30, 6086) is known for its ability to remain viable through manufacturing, storage, and digestion, helping deliver live cultures to the gut.

To qualify for the “Live Culture” claim in Indonesia, products containing BC30™ must meet several key regulatory conditions. These include the declaration of the full genus, species, and strain name: Bacillus coagulans GBI‑30, 6086, in the ingredient statement. Finished products must deliver a minimum of 1 × 10⁶ CFU per gram or millilitre at the end of shelf life, supported by appropriate analytical data. In addition, clear storage instructions must be stated on finished goods to ensure compliance with BPOM requirements.

The approval of BC30™ supports Kerry’s ongoing commitment to enabling science‑based, compliant innovation in functional foods and beverages tailored to local market needs.
