Lower your cholesterol with the NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS 30-Day Challenge and stand a chance to win attractive prizes!

Attention Malaysians! You could have high cholesterol but not know it! You need to act now. Take charge of your heart health with the NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS 30-Day Challenge.

This year, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS is partnering with BookDoc to continue its mission to motivate and educate Malaysians to be proactive in taking care of their heart health.

Running now up to June 30th this year, one has to simply purchase RM20 worth of NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS products to sign up for the challenge. Participants will then get a free BP Healthcare lipid profile test and those with results that indicate high or borderline high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, will be eligible to start their 30-day journey with NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS. As part of the challenge, participants will also receive a free 5-day starter kit accompanied by support from professional health coaches via the BookDoc App to help with their 30-day journey to healthier cholesterol levels.

It’s so easy to get going. During the 30 days, simply consume two servings of NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS daily to give your heart 1.2g of ActiCol plant sterols that have been scientifically shown to lower cholesterol levels**. Lower cholesterol levels can reduce the risk of heart disease. Be sure to record your consumption in the BookDoc App by posting a photo each time. Participants who successfully reduce their LDL levels during the challenge will be eligible to win exciting prizes, including a RM5,000 domestic vacation or RM500 sports gift card.

Many Malaysians are unaware of the dangers of high cholesterol being a significant risk factor for heart disease. Currently, four out of ten adult Malaysians have high cholesterol and almost half of them are under the age of 40. This reality is made worse when only one in four are aware of their high cholesterol levels.

NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS has been a strong advocate for heart health in Malaysia for over 20 years and believes the path to better heart health starts with awareness on the factors affecting it, including high cholesterol. The 30-day Challenge is among its various initiatives to encourage Malaysians to adopt a healthier lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, and complementing it with two servings of NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS daily.

“We are thrilled to resume the 30-Day Challenge and inspire Malaysians to prioritize their heart health. We hope that many Malaysians will join us on this journey and see the benefits of reducing their cholesterol levels. The 30-Day Challenge has continued to motivate and educate Malaysians to be proactive in taking care of their heart health and we are confident this year, many more Malaysians will take up the challenge,” said Kenny Wong, Business Executive Officer, Dairy and Adult Nutrition Business Unit at Nestlé Malaysia.

Devdas – The Musical makes its World Premiere in Singapore’s Esplanade Theatre

Showing in Singapore for one weekend starting on 21 April, ‘Devdas – The Musical’ — a Broadway-style rendition of the timeless Indian love saga — will pull at the heartstrings with its opulent sets, soul-stirring melodies, stunning dance sequences and poignant performances

Singapore, 27 March 2023 – Theatre enthusiasts in Singapore are in for a dazzling treat, as Devdas – The Musical makes its world premiere on 21 April at the Esplanade Theatre. Inspired by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic novella of the same name, India’s leading live theatre producer AGP World, along with Arte Compass and Zee TV APAC, brings one of the most famous love sagas in Indian literature to life in Singapore.

Ashvin Gidwani’s Devdas – The Musical is 100-minute multi-starrer that explores the saga of star-crossed lovers Devdas and Paro, torn apart by unfortunate circumstances. This iconic tale of love in its purest form has been re-told time and again, the most notable on-screen adaptation being a Bollywood blockbuster movie starring Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan in 2002.

Now, watch this timeless tale come to life in an incredible Broadway-style production with
elaborate set designs, vibrant colours, evocative lighting and special effects that recreate the opulence of India’s former capital, Calcutta, during the early 1900s, which acts as a spectacular backdrop for the musical, featuring unforgettable music, exhilarating choreography, and a heart-rending, universal story — all packaged together to create one of the most gorgeous theatre productions ever brought to life on stage.

There will be two shows in Hindi with English surtitles at 8pm on Friday, 21 April and Saturday, 22 April, and two shows in English with Mandarin surtitles on Saturday, 22 April at 3pm and on Sunday, 23 April at 5pm at the Esplanade Theatre.

This multifaceted production features prodigious performances from well-known Bollywood actors such as Sunil Kumar Palwal, Aanchal Chauhan, Bhavna Pani, Jayesh Thakkar and Smita Jaykar, who play key roles in the musical. Adding to the star-studded lineup is Arif Zakaria, who will play the role of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the writer of the classic tale. The musical is further enriched with songs from the original score of the Bollywood chartbuster movie Devdas, as well as mesmerising new melodies – such as Woh Zindagi Hi Kya, Shyam Tore Rang Me, Toota Re Manwa – that feature an entirely original soundtrack sung by some of the most prominent Bollywood singers including Shaan, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, Suresh Wadkar, Shail Hada, Bhoomi Trivedi and Antara Mitra.

In addition to the songs, the musical boasts of an elaborate and larger-than-life stage design. The poignant music is brought to life by graceful choreography, featuring stunning performances and a fusion of Indian classic and contemporary dance styles artistically choreographed by passionate Choreographer Devendra Singh (Debu).

Eminent British theatre director, writer, actor, and teacher Toby Gough — who previously
scripted The Merchants of Bollywood, Taj Express and is well-known for devising multi-cultural adaptations of Shakespeare plays — comes on board as the Creative Director for this grand musical, which is co-directed by renowned Indian director Ranga Godbole. Together with Technical Director & Production Designer Tom Kitney, Ashvin Gidwani’s Devdas – The Musical is sure to be a show that’s not to be missed.

Ashvin Gidwani, Producer & MD, AGP World says, “I am thoroughly excited to bring this
classic on stage and showcase the first World Premiere in Singapore. Devdas has witnessed several renditions in the Indian cinema, yet there is something about the epic that connects with the audience. A saga of love presented by multiple onstage and offstage talents; Devdas promises to be a production never seen before on Indian Stage. We are very excited to be premiering this in front of an international audience for the first time, and Singapore’s diversity and thriving arts community makes it the perfect place to do so.”

Akila Iyengar, Managing Director, Arte Compass says, “The original work of Devdas has
captivated Literature and Cinema lovers alike for over a hundred years. We are proud to bring the epic to the stage for the first time ever in Singapore, produced in two languages. The production is all set to thrill diverse audiences with a highly talented cast, extravagant sets, aerial dance choreography and the original classical as well as contemporary music scores.”

Sanmesh Thakur, EVP – APAC, Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. express, “Zee in
Singapore has been known to support and co-produce high quality productions. We are
extremely proud and excited to be associated with Devdas, one of the most highly awaited shows of 2023!”
