Recognizing this concern, Fernleaf presents its latest innovation: MultiGrain+ Formulated Milk Powder for children. We understand / care about parents’ needs to help their child feeling full, while supporting them to grow tall and strong. 

Milk is a good source of important nutrients that are crucial in supporting a child’s overall growth and development. On the other hand, grains are the primary source of carbohydrates, which provide energy to the body while supporting the feeling of fullness. With Fernleaf MultiGrain+, this unique blend seamlessly combines the goodness of milk with 3 types of grains – wheat, rice, and corn. Consuming milk with grains not only support the feeling of satiety between meals but also furnishing important nutrients crucial for their growth and development. Moms can now help their children achieve a balanced diet that supports their energy and nutritional needs.

Since 1893, Fernleaf has been offering innovative milk products that are loved by families all around the world. Fernleaf products are made with milk from New Zealand grass-fed cows. The brand’s commitment begins with the highest dairy production standards, where cows graze freely on lush green pastures in a clean, clear environment. This allows the cows to produce quality milk that reflects Fernleaf’s dedication to providing consumers with the finest dairy products.

The 3 types of grains in Fernleaf MultiGrain+ is a very fine blend of wheat, rice, and corn, to facilitate consumption by young children so that they can enjoy their daily milk-drinking routine as usual. Consuming milk with grains helps keep children feeling full and satisfied in between meals, giving them the energy they need to carry out their daily activities.

 

For children to grow tall and strong, Fernleaf MultiGrain+ also contains the important nutrients needed for children’s growing-up years, such as 5X DHA*, calcium, protein, as well as 18 vitamins and minerals.

Lim Siew Poh, Marketing Director at Fonterra Brands (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, explained the significance of introducing this innovative milk powder to mothers: “Our research has shown that many moms struggle to keep their active children feeling satisfied and full, especially in between mealtimes. Therefore, based on our unwavering commitment to innovation and R&D, we would like to introduce the concept of combining milk and grains in our formulated milk powder for children.”

“This way, they continue to receive the nutrients that Fernleaf milk is known for, and at the same time, gets the goodness of multigrain. We also took extra care to ensure the grains used are fine, so that children can continue to enjoy the familiarity of their everyday milk routine. To put it in a nutshell, Fernleaf’s new MultiGrain+ offers a convenient and nutritious option that moms can trust. Moms can now help keep their children feeling full while supporting them to grow tall and strong. It can be enjoyed at any time of the day, whether for breakfast, as a midday snack, in between meals, or after dinner!” continued Siew Poh.

George Oscar, his committee and the people of Kampung Ta-ee ready to welcome visitors to the Kampung Ta-ee Gawai 2024 celebrations

Serian, June 2, 2024 – The long-standing tradition of the Gawai parade in Kampung Ta-ee has once again drawn over 1,000 locals and visitors, celebrating the unique and vibrant Dayak culture.

The procession began with a creatively constructed float made from bamboo, followed by the Bi-Bukar Bidayuh community dressed in traditional and warrior costumes. Visitors who joined the procession danced joyfully to the music while admiring the beauty of the village along the 2-kilometer route.

The organizing chairman, Mr. George Oscar, expressed his delight, stating, “We are elated to welcome thousands of local and international visitors who have come together to celebrate Gawai with our community. This event transcends a mere parade; it is a vibrant showcase of the arts, culture, traditional dances, and music of the Bukar Sadong group of the Bidayuhs.

Throughout the festival, the community offered visitors the most exquisite traditional cuisines and the 2024 Limited Edition Harvest Festival Pepsi Cans.’ Mr. Oscar added, “We aspire for all attendees to leave with cherished memories that they can share with their friends and family.”

Gratitude was also extended to Pepsi Malaysia, the main sponsor of the Kampung Ta-ee Gawai Parade 2024. Pepsi proudly sponsored the construction of a grand stage for Kampung Ta-ee’s performers and the creation of the float for the procession. The float, shaped like a rice field, symbolizes the long-standing tradition of honoring Borneo’s rich cultural heritage and is dedicated to fostering unity and artistic appreciation. “Pepsi has provided an invaluable platform for our local community to promote our culture to the world,” Mr. Oscar remarked.

Amy Gan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika, expressed, “We are delighted to be part of Kampung Ta-ee Gawai, as Pepsi’s journey in East Malaysia is driven by a sincere commitment to preserving and promoting the unique traditions and artistic heritage of the region.”

“We are honored to support and uplift the local creative community. This year, we produced a captivating music video and song titled ‘Pepsi Harvest Festival Anthem.’ Witnessing both visitors and the Kampung Ta-ee community dance to our music during the parade was truly heartwarming.”

To celebrate diversity and unity, Pepsi has unveiled the 2024 Limited Edition Harvest Festival Pepsi Cans, exclusively available in East Malaysia. These cans, crafted by talented East Malaysian artists Daphne Siaw and Charles Mawan, showcase intricate patterns and symbols indigenous to Sarawak and Sabah. Seamlessly blending diverse cultural motifs, beloved by all, they symbolize the spirit of unity and celebration.

Looking ahead, the Kampung Ta-ee community will proudly participate in the 2024 state-level Gawai Dayak Parade on June 15 in Kuching City. We invite everyone to mark their calendars for this event to witness the stunning float, sponsored Pepsi and crafted by the Kampung Ta-ee community. Visitors will also be able to collect the 2024 Limited Edition Harvest Festival Pepsi Cans during the state-level Gawai Dayak Parade.

Yili Dairy’s Joyday ice cream is in Malaysia

Yili Dairy’s Joyday ice cream has been available in Malaysia since 2023. Kajang-based Elitgo Sdn Bhd distributes the Joyday ice cream in the country. Yili’s halal-certified ice cream Joyday is produced in its Indonesian factory, which exports Joyday to various markets overseas including to the Philippines and Tanzania.

Right now, Joyday ice cream is available at selected grocery stores. At one of the grocery stores that sells Joyday, the freezer contains both Joyday ice cream and Cremo ice cream, which Yili also owns through the acquisition of Thailand-based Chomthana.

Joyday’s ice cream is unique and affordable, including pineapple- or corn-shaped ice cream sticks and mochi ice cream. The products sold in Malaysia are priced between RM 1.00 and RM 7.50 (tub).

The key to winning in the ice cream segment is distribution and the ease with which consumers can access the products. Joyday doesn’t promote itself in the local market, which has resulted in poor consumer awareness. Having an attractive program that incentivizes vendors to shift to Joyday can improve product availability.

The brand can also make its products available online, especially on food delivery platforms, to make Joyday more accessible to consumers who buy in bulk for party needs or stocking up on their pantries. However, it is still important to ensure there are more vendors selling Joyday in physical brick-and-mortar outlets and that Joyday’s Indonesian or Philippine models can be replicated here in Malaysia.
