In addition, airasia ride drivers and AirAsia staff are supported with healthcare benefits to ensure they remain healthy and safe on the road

MELAKA, 18 OCTOBER 2022 – Mahkota Medical Centre (MMC), one of the largest and most comprehensive tertiary private hospitals in Southern Peninsular Malaysia, proudly announces its first partnership with airasia ride (AAR).

As one of Malaysia’s top medical tourism hospitals, MMC sees approximately 95,000 international patients annually and expects this number to rise. Most recently, the hospital has been lauded as the Medical Tourism Hospital of the Year in Asia Pacific 2022 by the GlobalHealth Asia-Pacific Awards. As part of its commitment to uphold this standard, MMC is collaborating with AAR to offer discounted airport rides. New AAR users are entitled to RM3 off when booking a ride to MMC from any pick-up point in Melaka using the MMCRIDE promo code. Both existing and new AAR users can redeem the promo code MMCAIRPORT to get RM10 off a ride from KLIA/KLIA2 to MMC and vice versa.

This partnership also extends 30 AAR drivers each, a complimentary heart check-up at MMC from 29th September until 31st October. The first 100 Captain AAR drivers will receive a free blood screening worth RM300. A total of 100 First Officers and Cadet AAR drivers may purchase a Basic Blood Profile (includes diabetes screening, liver function test, blood count analysis etc.) at a discounted price of RM99. This MoU also offers the first 100 AirAsia staff, a cash rebate of RM200 on MMC’s Wellness or Premier Health Screening Packages.

Stanley Lam, CEO of Mahkota Medical Centre, shared, “At MMC, our vision is to be the most reputable referral hospital in South-East Asia. Today’s partnership with AAR will further solidify our goal to ensure international patients are supported throughout their journey to seek healthcare services. We also hope that the health screening packages offered to AAR drivers and AirAsia staff will help spur health awareness and conversations.

Lim Chiew Shan, Regional CEO of airasia ride, said, “We are proud to announce this partnership with MMC to provide health benefits to our ride-hailing drivers. As an e-hailing provider, drivers are essentially the most crucial part of the operations. We always prioritise our drivers’ health and well-being as we believe that our drivers will provide the best quality and safest service to our customers if they are physically and mentally healthy.

“We are extremely thankful to MMC for offering AAR driver partners and AirAsia staff these health benefits. We hope our drivers will take this opportunity to have regular health check-ups to stay in excellent condition on the road.”

Over 1,200 Music Festival-Goers pledges to #CelebrateResponsibly at Carlsberg’s sponsored Music Fests

The team of Employee Ambassadors deployed at the Genting Starlight Festival to advocate #CelebrateResponsibly.

In conjunction with the Global Beer Responsible Day on 18 September, Carlsberg Malaysia
advocates no drink driving over a month-long responsible drinking campaign

SHAH ALAM, 19 October 2022 – With music festivals brought back to life after the pandemic hiatus, Carlsberg Malaysia has stepped up in advocating the importance of responsible drinking by rolling-out a month-long #CelebrateResponsibly campaign at its sponsored music festivals held in Kuching, Miri and Genting respectively. The campaign saw over 1,200 consumers pledging to no driving under the influence of alcohol and had their blood alcohol content (BAC) tested against the national BAC limit of 0.05% (50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood).

The team of Employee Ambassadors at the Borneo Music Festival Live 2022 in Kuching.

Having run for eight consecutive years, the annual #CelebrateResponsibly campaign reiterates Carlsberg Malaysia’s commitment towards the worldwide Global Beer Responsible Day to promote the culture of responsible drinking, as well as in support of the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD), a non-profit organisation aimed at reducing irresponsible drinking. The campaign is the brewer’s flagship programme in delivering one of its sustainability prioirites – ZERO Irresponsible Drinking – which is aligned with the UNSDG Goal #3 – Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being
for all at all ages.

Mindful of the massive crowd who consumed alcohol at the festival grounds of the Borneo Music Festival Live 2022 in Kuching, the Neon Borneo Festival in Miri, and the Genting Starlight Festival at Genting Highlands, the brewer empowered 21 employees to play the role of #CelebrateResponsibly ambassadors to spread the awareness of the legal purchasing age, educate them on the national legal BAC limit of 0.05% and encourage them to get their BAC tested on the spot to change their mindset and behaviours about drink driving.

“With throngs of party-goers returning to festivals after having been cooped up indoors for the past two years, we took this opportunity to amplify our ZERO Irresponsible Drinking sustainability priority by encouraging our consumers to make responsible consumption decisions and change their mindset about irresponsible behaviours about excessive drinking and driving under the influence of alcohol, as advocated at our #CelebrateResponsibly campaign,” said Pearl Lai, Carlsberg Malaysia’s Corporate
Affairs & Sustainability Director.

“In driving mindset and behavioural change, we equipped consumers with the knowledge on one’s alcohol tolerance, of which factors affecting it are typically one’s body weight, gender and age, as well as the tools to measure one’s BAC after drinking, against the country’s permitted BAC limits. In addition, we also made alcohol-free beverage like Somersby 0.0 available for sampling as we are cognizant of the change in drinking habits as more people opt for non-alcoholic brews,” Lai added.

“This year, Carlsberg beer celebrates its 175-year young birthday while Carlsberg Malaysia is celebrating 50 years of local production of Carlsberg beer. For many years, we are committed to the craft of brewing the finest beers, stouts and ciders with utmost care, pride and quality. We want to share with our consumers the exemplary taste, quality and natural ingredients used in our brews, not the intoxicating effects of drinking alcohol excessively or irresponsibly. With this, I invite all of our consumers to join us in advocating a #CelebrateResponsibly mindset and behaviour to safeguard our health, wellness and accessibility to alcohol,” Lai urged.

In previous years, Carlsberg Malaysia has also shown significant support for their partners and consumers by offering incentives in the form of discounted rides in partnership with five e-hailing and chauffeur on-call service providers namely Grab, Riding Pink, airasia Ride, Lailah and Buddy Driver, in collaboration with over 3,000 bars, bistros and restaurants in its effort to fight against drink driving.
