Malaysians Can Enjoy Additional Protection for Online Purchases, Up to Six Months After Receiving Their Purchases

Online shoppers can insure their purchases against accidental damages, including wear and tear, for less than RM1 and enjoy coverage of up to RM10,000 with PolicyStreet’s Damage Protection Plan.

KUALA LUMPUR, 14 FEBRUARY 2023 – Malaysians can bid goodbye to their worries of accidentally damaging their online purchases during normal usage. Protecting online shoppers in Malaysia, PolicyStreet is launching its Damage Protection Plan, Malaysia’s most comprehensive embedded protection product to date. Starting at less than RM1, Malaysians can enjoy damage protection of up to RM10,000 on more than 800 categories of items available on partnering e-commerce platforms.

The Damage Protection Plan protects shoppers’ purchases against accidental damage, fire, flood, and theft for up to six months after delivery. Baby clothing, furniture, travel and luggage, mobile phones and gadget accessories are also eligible for wear and tear damage compensation up to three months after purchase. Wear and tear coverage in the Damage Protection Plan acts as a quality assurance policy, allowing customers to be compensated when gradual damages such as shrinkage, rust, or damage by rodents or insects occur due to the nature of the product itself.

“Online shoppers are typically concerned with ensuring that their purchases arrive in good condition, but they frequently overlook that the risk of product damage does not end there. With life’s uncertainty, material damage caused by unforeseeable events can be financially draining. Being a licensed Reinsurer and General Insurer, we are committed to underwriting a product that addresses the protection gap in this respect,” says Lee Yen Ming, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of PolicyStreet.

“Understanding that nine out of ten Malaysians prefer shopping online[1], we are partnering with e-commerce platforms to address the issue at its source. Rather than proactively encouraging Malaysians to insure their belongings, we’re incorporating damage protection into their online purchase journey, so online shoppers can be protected from the moment they receive their purchase,” adds Yen Ming.

Mirroring the technologies and processes used in PolicyStreet’s Gig Workers’ Claims Platform, the Damage Protection Claims Platform simplifies the claims processes by providing shoppers with clear guidelines and next steps. After submitting a claim, shoppers can also track the status of their claims through the same portal. Shoppers can also decide where the claims are paid, either by bank transfer or their respective E-Wallets supported by the respective e-commerce platforms. Processing periods for the E-Wallets will take 3-5 working days, whereas bank transfers will take 7-10 working days.

Malaysians were eager to adopt the Damage Protection Plan as millions of policies were sold in just one month. As an emerging insurtech company, the positive response is a testament to PolicyStreet’s understanding of consumers’ needs and its commitment to protecting communities through its innovative range of insurtech products. To better reflect the company’s ability to offer innovative insurance solutions, the insurtech company refreshed its branding by launching a new logo. The updated logo consists of the company name’s acronyms (PS), creatively depicting a shield to represent their commitment to protecting communities.

Don’t miss out on additional protection; Check out PolicyStreet’s latest insurtech offering and enjoy the benefits of the Damage Protection Plan now by opting in at the checkout page!

Fernleaf Expands Its Range to Support Gut Function and Well-Being

An affordable & enjoyable way to maintain good gut function every day!

The foundation of a strong body lies in a good digestive system. The gut, which primarily carries out functions like digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste excretion, can affect our overall health and wellbeing. Factors such as poor dietary habits, stress, unhealthy lifestyles, medication, and aging can disrupt our gut function. This can result in imbalanced gut bacteria, where too much harmful or bad bacteria starts to grow. If left untreated, this may lead to digestive issues including diarrhoea, constipation, change in bowel habits, and more[1]. Hence, protecting and keeping our gut environment in its best possible condition is essential in ensuring that our body’s defence system is working properly[2].

Bringing New Zealand dairy goodness to Malaysian families every day since 1982, Fernleaf, a Fonterra brand, introduces an affordable and enjoyable way to help replenish good bacteria for the gut! Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+ is the only cultured milk drink in Malaysia that contains a combination of three (3) scientifically researched probiotics, namely Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 (DR20), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (BB-12), and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5.

Taken as part of a daily balanced diet, combined with an active lifestyle, the three scientifically researched probiotics helps to maintain good gut function. Achieving good gut function helps to support the body’s defence system.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), probiotics are live microorganisms[3] that bring health benefits to the host when consumed in adequate amounts. Also known as “good bacteria”, probiotics help to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria to ward off negative health-related effects caused by them[4], while replenishing the good bacteria within, thereby enhancing the body’s defence system. For that reason, maintaining balanced gut bacteria should be practiced every day to support good health and wellbeing.

Ms Liew Yen Lee, Assistant Nutrition Manager of Fonterra Brands (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, explained the importance of incorporating probiotics into one’s daily diet: “70% of our bodies’ immunity lies in our gut, which is constantly exposed to external ‘enemies’ like bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. Therefore, having a good gut environment is extremely important to support a strong body defence system, which needs to be ready to ward off any troublemakers that can affect the body or cause unwanted infections.”

“When we get sick, bad bacteria takes the opportunity to multiply and thrive in our bodies. Regular consumption of probiotics helps to improve gut function, keeping the good bacteria in our gut at a healthy level, so that the body can re-establish its natural equilibrium and keep the body defence system working normally,[5]” continued Liew.

In order to deliver gut benefits to Malaysian consumers, Fonterra’s Research and Development (R&D) team worked closely with established probiotic experts from Chr. Hansen to develop Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+. Puan Megawati Suzari, New Product Development (NPD), Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Director, Fonterra Brands (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. elaborated “The benefits of the three probiotic strains used in this cultured milk drink are backed by science, and have been rigorously researched in many scientific studies, making it suitable across all ages. As a family brand, Fonterra aims to support all adults’ and childrens’ gut function. When your gut is working well, it not only helps maintain good body defence system, but also encourages regular bowel movement, effective digestion, and nutrient absorption[6].”

“That’s why Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+, with three types of probiotics offers a convenient and affordable way to help replenish good bacteria in the gut. With the increase in disease emergence, the most recent being COVID-19, supporting our body defence system has never been more important. Though we have stepped into an endemic phase and COVID-19 is no longer life-threatening thanks to the advancement in medical technology, we hope that Malaysians will continue to watch their health, as good health helps all of us enjoy a better quality of life,” said Megawati.

Fernleaf Cultured Milk Drink Probiotic+ is now available at 99 Speed Mart and AEON in West Malaysia at RRP of RM4.35.

Malaysian Book of Records certificate presentation to Amy Gan

With Goodday KidSTART recognized by the Malaysia Book of Records as the kidpreneur programme with the most participants, Goodday Milk empowers the next generation with a solid foundation to build their business dreams while cultivating good financial habits and critical life skills.

12th February 2023, KUALA LUMPUR – Goodday Milk, a leading milk brand in Malaysia, has concluded Goodday KidSTART, the biggest kid-preneur challenge in the country successfully today. Launched in November 2022, the challenge saw 340 participants from across the nation take part in this competition designed to create financial literacy among children, as well as drive the spirit of entrepreneurship and responsibility.

Goodday KidStart Participants

Speaking about Goodday KidSTART, Etika’s Vice President of Marketing, Amy Gan said, “Goodday KidSTART is a first-of-its kind in Malaysia, in keeping with Etika’s tradition of innovation and path-breaking ideas. The programme is in line with Goodday Milk Malaysia’s mission of providing nutrition that helps the development of mind and body in children. We are also delighted to be featured in the Malaysian Book of Records as the biggest kid-preneur programme in Malaysia, achieving the greatest number of participants for a kidpreneur programme.

Recognising the lack of financial literacy in Malaysian youth, we wanted to equip children with the right knowledge to develop strong money habits early on to ensure they are on the right track to a financially sound future. By instilling confidence and imparting the skills required to fuel a child’s entrepreneurial spirit, we are teaching our kids to understand the concept of money so they can make responsible financial decisions. Thus, we see Goodday Milk as a brand that doesn’t just provide goodness in the form of nutrition but also goodness in the form of well being to the community, in this case financial soundness.”

Bootcamp activities

From the 340 submissions, 20 children, including 2 less fortunate children from charities based in Selangor, were shortlisted for a 2-Day business bootcamp that concluded with a pitching session to a panel of judges comprised of Ernie Chen, Chairman of Portman Education Group, Social Entrepreneurs Faridah Halina Zairi, founder of Coffee for Good and Salena Ahmad, Founder & CEO of Suri Inspirasi Sdn Bhd, as well as Chin Yien Yien, Senior Brand Manager for Goodday Milk.

Photography session with the winners

The bootcamp saw them go through a series of modules, from learning good entrepreneurial and financial habits to the A – Z’s of pitching a business plan to potential investors. At the end of the bootcamp, 8 winners walked away with cash prizes from a fund pool of RM51,000 to kick start their business ideas.

1st Winner of Goodday KidStart – Fatimah Basyeerah

The first prize of RM20,000 was awarded to 10 year old Fatimah Basyeerah Binti Mohamed Ackiel from Dengkil, for her stroke cognitive skills recovery software application, an idea born from her desire to help her grandfather who suffered a stroke. Fatimah impressed the judges with her charismatic presentation and ability to articulate her business idea clearly. The judges also collectively expressed their excitement to see the idea come to fruition.

Speaking after her win, Fatimah said, “I did not expect it. I’m so happy, thankful and excited to grow my business. Goodday Milk and the rest of the team have been very encouraging and I’m looking forward to using the prize money to develop and test my app on stroke patients.” When asked if she had any advice for the next group of KidSTART participants, she said, ”My advice is, believe in your idea, stay calm and do your best.”

The second prize of RM10,000 went to Ong Joon Zach for his business, CocoCool, the first innovative coconut extractor that can extract and cool fresh coconut water directly from its fruits hygienically in one-single step, while the 3rd to 5th prize of RM5,000, RM4,000 and RM3,000 was awarded to Fredston Wang Le Dong, A’isy Sofyan Bin Mohd Salehuddin and Ahmad Zulfazriel Iman Bin Ahmad Faizul respectively. Muhammad Danish Bin Mohamad Zamri, Joe Chew Thong Yao and Tan Shwen Yin took home the awards for Best Presenter, Most Innovative Idea and Young Emerging Star, each walking away with RM3,000.

Ariel, mother to 3rd place winner, Fredston said, “I wanted to expose Fredston to other like minded individuals, taking this entrepreneurial journey with them. He’s participated in other contests but Goodday KidSTART was the first platform to allow him to think out of the box and place importance in building not just a successful business but one that has a positive impact on others and the planet.”

Joe Chew’s mother, Yvonne added, “I’m really happy that there is a platform like this
for my children. We see this happen frequently in other countries and having a programme like this in Malaysia gives me assurance that our kids aren’t left behind and have the opportunity to progress, on par with others. I think more corporations should follow Goodday Milk’s lead and start paying attention to our future generation.”

Etika’s Vice President of Marketing, Amy Gan said, “We are delighted to see the enthusiastic response of kids aged 7 to 14, who have embraced this innovative program. During the bootcamp, I was particularly humbled and touched to learn of the stories of two finalists who, despite having faced difficult family situations and are in the welfare system, have shown passion and drive to better their lives. This experience was truly inspiring, and I’m happy that Goodday KidSTART was able to provide opportunities to invest in a child’s early years of development. A huge congratulations to today’s winners; we look forward to seeing their ideas become a reality! We are also grateful to our collaborators, Dwi Emas International School, My First Seed and the other organisations involved for their support throughout this campaign. Only with their help could we reach this many children and allow the campaign to have the impact it has had.”

She added, “Looking at the overwhelming response we received in round 1, we will be launching round 2 of Goodday KidSTART later this year, so we encourage parents to keep an eye out and urge their kids to enter!”

The Goodday KidSTART kid-preneur programme phase 1 ran from 21st November 2022 to 25th January 2023, with kids submitting their ideas through video format. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/gooddaymilkmalaysia.
