KUALA LUMPUR, 9 October 2024 – Pos Malaysia Berhad (“Pos Malaysia”), the national post and parcel service provider, today joined postal services around the globe to commemorate World Post Day.

Observed each year on 9 October, this important day celebrates the anniversary of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) while bringing awareness to the role the postal sector plays in people’s and businesses’ everyday lives and its contribution to the world’s social and economic development.

The theme for this year’s World Post Day, “150 years of enabling communication and empowering peoples across nations”, took centre stage at the local celebration held at Pos Malaysia’s headquarters in Dayabumi Complex earlier today.

Graced by YB Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications, and YB Teo Nie Ching, Deputy Minister of Communications, the event spotlighted Pos Malaysia’s new short film which showcased the Company’s remarkable transformation story over the past two centuries to become more than just a post office for the rakyat today, and its steadfast commitment to delivering connections and improving lives. The two-minute short film drew thunderous applause from the audience at the end of its screening.

Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar, Chairman of Pos Malaysia, said: “This short film not only pays homage to Pos Malaysia’s rich and long-standing heritage in the country but more importantly it signifies our commitment to continuously meeting the changing needs of the people of Malaysia in this digital age. Today, Pos Malaysia no longer just delivers mail and parcels; we now offer a variety of innovative products and services, ranging from end-to-end logistics, and aviation (ground handling), to retail and digital solutions. We have come a long way in our purpose of connecting people and businesses for a better tomorrow.”

YB Fahmi Fadzil echoed Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar’s sentiment: “Even as we stand at a crossroads between tradition and innovation, Pos Malaysia continues to be a backbone of our country’s trade and economic development. As we come together to celebrate World Post Day, let’s be reminded that postal service is more than just a system to deliver mail and parcels. It represents a critical infrastructure that supports economic growth, facilitates trade, and connects the communities. The value of the personal and tangible touch of postal services remains irreplaceable in the fast-paced digital communication era that we all live in today.”

He commended Pos Malaysia on its continuous strive for service excellence. Pos Laju successfully attained a 4-star rating from the MyKurier programme and was crowned the fastest and most reliable courier service provider by the MCMC Star Rating Awards 2023.

“So, to everyone in Pos Malaysia – from the Abang Pos who are out on duty come rain or shine, to the staff at the sorting centre, back office, and service counters – we appreciate your dedication. You are the unsung heroes who play a vital role in keeping our nation connected,” YB Fahmi added.

The Minister later presented long service awards to sixteen (16) Pos Malaysia employees who have been with the Company for 35 years and above.

During the event, Pos Malaysia also unveiled a set of specially designed commemorative stamps launched in conjunction with World Post Day. Priced at RM50.50 each, this limited edition set – which comes in a folder consisting of a stamp sheet, a miniature sheet, a First Day Cover envelope with a stamp, and a First Day Cover envelope with a miniature sheet – is available at all Pos Malaysia’s Philatelic Bureaus, including 13 General Post Offices nationwide, and online at https://shop.pos.com.my while stocks last.

The celebration concluded with YB Fahmi, YB Teo, and special guests flagging off Pos Malaysia’s latest batch of electric vehicles (EVs), underscoring the organisation’s commitment to delivering a greener future. More than 1,000 electric bikes and over 300 electric vans are scheduled to join its already impressive EV fleet in the coming months.

“As a progressive organisation in championing sustainability for both Malaysia and the logistics sector, we are proud of the progress we have made thus far in our sustainability roadmap launched last year. Currently, Pos Malaysia has 200 electric motorcycles and 143 electric vans, which have covered a distance of 2.8 million kilometres, equivalent to 71 times around the Earth. Central to our path to Net Zero is the transition to EVs, where we now have the largest EV fleet in Malaysia’s logistics sector. Our growing number of EVs is a testament to our ongoing focus to reduce emissions generated by vehicles and ultimately achieve 100% first and last-mile green delivery by 2030,” said Tan Sri Syed Faisal Albar.

Pos Malaysia is slated to kick off the promotion of its new brand film from 9 October on various touchpoints including social media and digital billboards. This is followed by a series of exciting activities that will be held at the post offices, with limited edition merchandise up for grabs for customers who make transactions at any of the post offices from 16 October until 31 December 2024.

One-stop healthcare hub set to boost health tourism in Johor

JOHOR BAHRU, 10 October 2024 – Regency Specialist Hospital (RSH) proudly introduces the newly opened Regency Medical Care Centre (RMCC), strategically located in The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey. As the first ambulatory care centre located in a shopping mall in Johor, RMCC is designed to be a one-stop healthcare hub, providing convenience and accessibility to quality medical services right in the heart of the city.

The opening event, graced by Yang Berhormat Tuan Ling Tian Soon, the Johor Health and Environment Committee Chairman, further reinforces RMCC’s pivotal role in supporting the health needs of local and international patients.

Yang Berhormat Tuan Ling Tian Soon commended RMCC for aligning with government initiatives aimed at boosting medical tourism and improving community health. “RMCC exemplifies the success of public-private partnerships in advancing healthcare. It not only strengthens Johor’s position as a healthcare hub but also encourages proactive health management and disease prevention for the benefit of all.”

As Malaysia moves toward achieving its goal of becoming a premier global healthcare destination by 2025, the medical tourism sector is poised to generate an estimated annual revenue of RM2 billion in that year.[i] Aligned with this, the upcoming Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, expected to be finalized during the 11th Singapore-Malaysia Leaders’ Retreat, will further strengthen healthcare collaboration and enhance medical tourism across borders.[ii]

Speaking at the launch, Ms Serena Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Regency Specialist Hospital, outlined RMCC’s commitment to becoming a leading healthcare hub for patients from all walks of life, both domestically and internationally. “What truly sets RMCC apart is our focus on early detection, preventive care and overall health management. As we embrace technological advancements, we continually strive to enhance our offerings for the benefit of our patients. The new HMI One app, designed for local and international patients exemplifies this commitment by simplifying scheduling appointments at RMCC.”

In recent times, Johor has also seen an increase in health cluster outbreaks from food poisoning to the influenza virus and dengue cases in June 2024.[iii] As a convenient ambulatory care centre, RMCC focuses on health screenings, specialist services, occupational health, and diagnostic imaging to enhance patient care by connecting to Regency Specialist Hospital’s renowned healthcare expertise.

In line with rapid technological advancements, as seen in the government’s 2022 initiative to test medical robotics across five hospitals,[iv] RMCC is equipped with state-of-the-art technology—such as X-ray, ultrasound, Digital Mammogram (Tomosynthesis), CT scan, and Bone Densitometry Examination (DEXA), to ensure fast and accurate diagnoses, leading to improved health outcomes.

“Medical tourism is a rapidly growing sector, and by combining world-class medical technology, skilled professionals, and a commitment to patient-centred care, RMCC has the potential to be a driving force in attracting international patients, particularly from Singapore, Indonesia and other neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia.”, said Ms Chin Wei Jia, Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of HMI Medical, highlighting RMCC’s role in boosting Malaysia’s medical tourism industry.

RMCC is now open, ready to serve the community and international visitors alike. With a steadfast commitment to advancing health and well-being, RMCC aims to leave a lasting impact through accessible, high-quality healthcare services.

In conjunction with its opening, special offers await the first 150 customers who sign up for any two of the wellness packages at RMCC to receive complimentary services worth RM500! Find out more at www.regencymedicalcare.com

Thailand’s First! ‘Five Star’ Embraces FSC-Certified Packaging, Pioneering Sustainable Franchise Model

Tuesday 08 October 2024 – Five Star, a leading food franchise in Thailand, has become the country’s first to introduce eco-friendly packaging certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standard. This move underscores the company’s commitment to environmental consciousness and sustainability at both national and international levels.

Mr. Sunthorn Jaksukan, President of CPF Restaurant and Food Chain Co., Ltd., emphasized Five Star’s dedication to delivering product quality while developing sustainable business operations. The company is actively promoting eco-friendly packaging and reducing plastic usage. The company has adopted biodegradable packaging and recently become the first Thai franchise brand to use FSC(R)-certified food packaging and also replaced plastic bucket lids with FSC-certified paper alternatives.

The STAR Coffee brand, under Five Star’s umbrella, has adopted 100% biodegradable, environmentally friendly cups.

FSC certification ensures that packaging materials come from responsibly managed forests, benefiting the environment, economy, and society without encroaching on forest areas. These materials are recyclable and certified food-grade safe, free from harmful residues.

“Our eco-friendly packaging strategy addresses growing consumer demand for brands that offer quality products at reasonable prices while supporting ecosystem balance and climate change mitigation. This approach bolsters consumer confidence and positions us as industry leaders in positive environmental change,” Mr. Sunthorn stated.

Additionally, Five Star has also joined the “No Refry” campaign, a collaboration between Bangchak Corporation Public Company Limited (BSGF) and the Department of Health. This initiative encourages food businesses to avoid reusing cooking oil and instead sell it for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.

The FSC certification, an international standard for sustainable forest resource management, ensures significantly reducing environmental impact while safeguarding natural resources. Key principles include: Protecting local community rights, conserving biodiversity, reducing harmful chemical use, preventing illegal logging, ensuring forest workers’ quality of life, respecting indigenous peoples’ rights to promoting transparent forest management, attempting to prevent human-caused forest fires as well as encouraging sustainable use of forest resources.

Khairul Azman, founder of Petals Malaysia with staff and their many orders from Shopee's customers

Petals Malaysia’s Annual Revenue on Shopee Boosted by 48% as Affiliates Drive 4 in 10 Orders

Local businesses in Malaysia are rising to meet the growing demand for homegrown products, supported by platforms like Shopee. According to Shopee’s recent Sayangi Malaysia, Jom Rai Lokal survey, 98% of Malaysians believe that shopping locally can uplift underserved communities. Moreover, over 80% of Malaysians prefer to buy Made-in-Malaysia products, driven by their desire to support local communities, reduce environmental impact, and preserve cultural heritage.

The Shopee Rai Lokal initiative celebrates the inspiring stories of these homegrown entrepreneurs who break down barriers and achieve success in the digital realm. They utilise tools such as storefronts, live-streaming, video content, and personalised chats to connect with customers. Brands like Petals Malaysia exemplify this trend, leveraging e-commerce to expand their reach, foster national pride, and showcase Malaysia’s vibrant entrepreneurial spirit.

Petals Malaysia Infusing Malaysian Pride into Every Hair Color

Khairul Azman, the founder of Petals Malaysia, recognised the increasing demand for local solutions in a market saturated with international brands that often overlook the specific needs of Malaysians. He launched Petals Malaysia to provide sustainable, Made-in-Malaysia hair care products that cater to local preferences and values. The brand’s signature Hair Colour Shampoo transforms grey hair in just 15 minutes without the need for mixing, making it environmentally friendly and wudhu’-friendly—addressing the unique needs of Malaysian consumers.

Understanding the modern consumer’s emphasis on community and sustainability, Khairul sought to expand his reach. In 2021, after facing the limitations and costs of traditional social media, he turned to Shopee. “Our journey is more than just selling a product,” Khairul explains. “Shopee allows us to share our story, rooted in local ingredients and sustainable practices, all delivered with 100% effectiveness.” Through various online touchpoints, Shopee connects Malaysians with products crafted with care and an understanding of their unique needs.

Leveraging Shopee’s Multi-Faceted Approach

Petals Malaysia has transformed the shopping experience for a diverse customer base, including older Malaysians, sustainability enthusiasts, and Gen Z. By leveraging Shopee Live, they create a communal atmosphere that invites customers to participate in product demonstrations. During live-streaming sessions, Petals Malaysia showcases their Hair Colour Shampoo in action, turning grey hair into vibrant hues in real-time. This interactive experience allows customers to engage directly with the brand, ask questions, and receive immediate responses. “We cater to Malaysians who want to see results before they believe,” Khairul shares. “Shopee Live lets them witness the transformation, building trust and confidence in our product.”

These interactive sessions also provide a unique opportunity to delve into the science behind their products, highlighting how locally sourced ingredients minimise environmental impact while bolstering the local economy. “Every ingredient reflects our commitment to Malaysia’s environment and community,” Khairul adds proudly. Furthermore, Petals Malaysia uses these sessions to offer flash deals and bundle offers tailored specifically for Gen Z shoppers, creating a sense of urgency that drives faster conversions.

Beyond live sessions, Petals Malaysia captivates audiences with Shopee Video content, featuring inspiring “before and after” transformations, heartfelt customer testimonials, and insights into their sustainable practices. “We’ve seen a significant boost in engagement, particularly among Gen Z, who value real-time interaction and authenticity,” Khairul notes. “This has helped us build a loyal customer base that shares our values.”

To reach even more Malaysians, Petals Malaysia strategically employs Shopee Ads and targeted promotions, connecting with customers who seek products that resonate with their values. By offering exclusive live-stream deals, Shopee Coins, and follower vouchers, they ensure their offerings stand out. Major sales events like 9.9 and 11.11 further amplify their reach, attracting shoppers prioritising quality and affordability.

Petals Malaysia also excels in Shopee Affiliate Marketing, partnering with trusted beauty bloggers and influencers to engage audiences passionate about beauty, sustainability, and local craftsmanship. “Our multi-faceted approach not only builds credibility but also educates customers, empowering them to make informed choices,” Khairul emphasises. This strategy effectively connects with consumers eager to support products that align with their values and specific needs.

This comprehensive strategy has propelled Petals Malaysia to impressive heights, achieving a 48% year-on-year revenue increase with affiliate marketing efforts now contributing to 4 in 10 orders, showcasing the power of their multi-faceted approach and their strong connection with consumers.

A Partner for SME Success

“Shopee proudly supports homegrown brands like Petals Malaysia,” says Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing and Business Intelligence at Shopee Malaysia. “The innovation and creativity of Malaysian businesses inspire us, and we are committed to helping them thrive online. Our platform offers a comprehensive suite of sales channels and resources to fuel their success, as exemplified by Petals Malaysia. For instance, Shopee University provides free online courses led by experts and experienced sellers, covering vital areas like sales, marketing, and operations, while keeping everyone updated with the latest e-commerce trends.”

Tan adds, “We invite everyone to explore the vibrant world of local products and support exceptional brands like Petals Malaysia. Download the Shopee app and explore the ‘Shopee Rai Lokal’ circle, where you can uncover local treasures that reflect the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of our entrepreneurs. Each product tells a story, showcasing the unique talent and dedication of Malaysian creators and businesses. By choosing to shop locally, you are not just purchasing a product; you are supporting a vision and empowering local communities.”
