JUST spray for relief and comfort with Eugica Herbal Mouth Spray

If your mouth feels dry and sticky with saliva that seems thick and stringy, you probably have a dry mouth! What can be worse is if you have difficulty chewing, speaking and swallowing, offensive breath and mouth ulcers, which are all signs of an irritated mouth!

A dry and irritated mouth is usually caused by viral infection or allergies. However, there are also other factors like ambient air pollution, weather changes, and smoking that can aggravate the condition. As viral infections are the major causes of dry and irritated mouth, most cases do not require any antibiotic treatment.

People usually turn to herbal remedies made of natural ingredients such as honey, propolis, aloe vera, and peppermint, which are commonly used for anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, cooling and soothing to relieve the symptoms of dry and irritated mouth, such as bad breath or mouth ulcers. Now, a mouth spray made from natural herbal ingredients works more effectively while providing on-the-go convenience!

About Eugica Herbal Mouth Spray

MEGA BiO-LiFE introduces Eugica Herbal Mouth Spray, a natural and herbal solution for refreshing breath and mouth soothing. It contains a blend of seven carefully-selected natural plant extracts and oils which are chamomile flower extract, honey, peppermint oil (Menthol), licorice root extract, eucalyptol, propolis powder, and aloe vera powder to work in synergy, and reducing bad breath.

Suitable for all age groups, Eugica Herbal Mouth Spray can be used for mouth soothing & reducing bad breath. It is also handy during Malaysia’s current transition to endemic phase, festive occasions, hot and rainy seasons, or when consuming too much “heaty” or oily food.

Smokers who have other concerns like bad breath or dry mouth, can also use Eugica Herbal Mouth Spray for relief and comfort. It tastes natural, and convenient to carry with you anytime, anywhere!

To use, spray 2 to 3 pumps directly into the mouth, as often as required.

Tomato Bruschetta

Kuala Lumpur, September 06, 2022 – Cooking is a life skill that is increasingly valued globally. Families are encouraging children to start cooking from a young age to encourage their independence.

Encourage your child, starting with simple tasks such as preparing cold beverages, salad or other dishes that require assembly or baking rather than stove-top skills. As they gain confidence they can graduate to stove-top cooking with your guidance. With more practice, they can soon prepare snacks, drinks and salads for themselves and for the family.

Some of the easiest recipes for children use condiments to impart flavours that uplift even the simplest preparations to the next level. Alce Nero™, a leader in organic food including, pasta, pasta sauces, honey, jams, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and balsamic vinegar among others is here has compiled four simple recipes to get children started on a culinary journey in time for World Parents’ Day Celebration on July 24 and for everyday thereafter.

The condiments featured are Alce Nero™ Apple Cider Vinegar, Alce Nero™ Balsamic Vinegar,  Alce Nero™ Organic Wildflower Honey and Alce Nero™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil. These organic condiments are packed with health benefits, being a mainstay of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet[1].

Share these recipe ideas with your kids and help them pamper you!

Caprese Salad

Caprese Salad

Caprese salad offers great flavour from the combination of just a few ingredients. Only the tangy balsamic glaze requires minor stove top time.

Make the balsamic vinegar glaze by placing the Alce Nero™ Balsamic Vinegar into a small sauce pan, bring to a gentle boil on low heat. It should reduce and thicken in 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside. Select fresh, juicy and sweet tomatoes, Roma tomatoes are best but any large red tomato can be used. Slice tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into 1 cm thick rounds. Eat the less than perfect rounds of tomatoes and cheese – chef’s treat!

On a plate or platter, arrange the tomato and cheese slices, overlapping and alternating them. Wash and pat dry fresh sweet basil leaves. Arrange over the beautifully assembled tomato and cheese slices. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar glaze andAlce Nero™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil before sprinkling with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.Caprese Salad done and dusted!

Why this recipe: Output is greater than input. You will be impressed, kids will be delighted by their own capabilities, and everyone can dig in to one of the simplest and tastiest salads.

Prep time: 10 minutes, cook time: 10 minutes, serves: 4 pax

Sparkling Apple Cider Vinegar Limeade

Sparkling Apple Cider Vinegar Lemonade

The kids can energise weekend meals, or weekday dinner with this sparkling apple cider vinegar limeade. So easy and so refreshing, especially on hot days.  In a drink dispenser combine 3 litre sparkling water, 3 tablespoon of Alce Nero™ Apple Cider Vinegar, juice from 5 limes, 4 tablespoon of Alce Nero™ Organic Wildflower Honey. Mix well, then top up with ice cubes.  Pour into pretty glasses, garnish with lime slices, take a sip, sigh with happiness and enjoy with family.

Why this recipe: Great for young children as it is so simple but can look so fancy with a bit of garnish and a metal or glass straw. For parents, it is a healthier option to coffee.

Spaghetti with Olive Oil and Garlic (Aglio e Olio)

Spaghetti With Olive Oil And Garlic (Aglio e Olio)

Perhaps the simplest spaghetti dish for beginners but the taste is worth much more than the minimal effort. Your child may require help with this one if they are inexperienced with stove top cooking.

Prepare 450g Alce Nero™ Spaghetti according to the pack instruction. Six minutes in boiling water for al dente pasta. As the pasta cooks, in a large fry pan combine garlic, Alce Nero™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, and red pepper flakes to taste, and warm over low heat until the garlic softens and turns golden. Chef’s tip if you love garlic add more for an intense yet mellow flavour.

Drain the pasta, reserving about a ½ cup of the cooking water. Add the Alce Nero™ Spaghetti and the reserved water to the garlic mixture. Mix well until the Alce Nero™ Spaghetti is well coated in garlicky olive oil. Transfer to a large serving bowl or divide among individual plates. For garnish, add parsley and lemon zest.

Kaspersky unmasks active malicious campaigns targeting Android and iOS users in APAC

Kaspersky elite researcher – Suguru Ishimaru

Global cybersecurity company shares how to secure smartphones from “Anubis” mobile Trojan and the infamous “Roaming Mantis” campaign

5 September 2022

With the continued uptick in the adoption of mobile banking in Asia Pacific (APAC), global cybersecurity company Kaspersky warns of more attacks against Android and iOS devices. Particularly, active monitoring shows the notorious Anubis Trojan now delivers a combination of mobile banking Trojan with ransomware functionalities to its target smartphones.

Kaspersky elite researcher – Suguru Ishimaru – zeroed in on the mobile threat landscape in APAC to answer: what if there are no smartphones? Sharing the reality that users cannot live without a mobile device, he unmasks the latest malware targeting iOS and Android users in APAC during the company’s 8th Cyber Security Weekend in Phuket, Thailand.

Mobile banking Trojans are one of the most dangerous species in the malware world. This type of threat steals money from mobile users’ bank accounts usually by disguising the Trojans as legitimate apps to lure people into installing the malware.

Anubis is a mobile banking Trojan targeting Android users as early as 2017. Its worldwide campaigns targeted users from Russia, Turkey, India, China, Colombia, France, Germany, the US, Denmark, and Vietnam.

This malware family continues to be one of the most common mobile bankers, according to Kaspersky’s latest mobile statistics in the second quarter of 2022. In this period, one in 10 (10.48%) of unique Kaspersky users globally who encountered a banking threat has encountered Anubis mobile banking Trojan.

Initial infections are done through multiple ways – legitimate-looking and high-ranking but malicious apps available on Google Play, smishing (phishing messages sent through SMS), and Bian malware, another mobile banking Trojan.

Once in, this infamous mobile banker can do a complete device takeover. It can steal personal information and identity, access private messages and login credentials, record sound, request GPS, disable play protect, lock the device’s screen, and more.

“Anubis is known for compromising hundreds of bank customers per campaign, proving that it’s among the most active malware targeting Android users right now. Our recent findings show that the cybercriminals behind this threat have started implementing ransom functionalities. If this modification proves to be successful, chances are other malicious groups will copy the same technique of stealing data and holding devices hostage. As a result, I expect to see more of such attacks in APAC due to cybercriminals’ strong financial motivation,” says Suguru Ishimaru, Senior Malware Researcher for Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) at Kaspersky.

The threat against Android and iOS users: Roaming Mantis

Another prolific threat actor targeting mobile banking users, globally and in the APAC region, is Roaming Mantis. The group carries out malicious campaigns that target Android devices and spreads mobile malware initially via DNS hijacking and currently through smishing.

Kaspersky experts have been tracking its operations since 2018 and detected almost half a million attacks in APAC from 2021 to the first half of 2022. Most numbers of the malware were blocked from infecting Kaspersky users in Russia, Japan, South Korea, India, and China.

Ishimaru also underlined that while the cybercriminal group is known for targeting Android devices, Roaming Mantis’ recent campaign showed interest in iOS users.

Using the same techniques, the smishing messages targeting iOS users contain a very short description and a URL to a landing page. If a user clicks on the link and opens the landing page, there are two scenarios: iOS users are redirected to a phishing page imitating the official Apple website, while the Wroba malware is downloaded on Android devices.

If a victim inputs his credentials to the phishing website, it will then proceed to the 2FA (two-factor authentication) phishing website. This allows the attacker to know the user’s device, credentials, and 2FA codes.

“There is a notion that iOS is a more secure operating system. However, we must take two things into account – the increasing sophistication of mobile bankers’ social engineering techniques and malware arsenal and the possibility for human errors. Remember that both Anubis and Roaming Mantis require user’s participation before they can take over a device. With more than half (63%) of digital payments in APAC doing their financial transactions online through mobile devices, awareness is no longer enough. Protecting our smartphones is a step that everyone should be doing by now,” adds Ishimaru.

Kaspersky expert suggests two layers of protection for smartphones

  • Basic security
    • Keep phones up-to-date and install the latest patches
    • Reboot daily
    • Do NOT trust third-party apps and mobileconfig
    • NEVER click on links sent through SMS
    • Install a security solution like Kaspersky Total Security
  • Advanced protection
    • Use a VPN to mask your traffic
    • Check live network traffic using live Indicator of Compromise (IOCs)
    • Use Lockdown Mode for iOS 16 users

MALAYSIANS’ TOP FIVE CUISINES ON SHOPEEFOOD

Celebrating local food trends in conjunction with 9.9 Super Shopping Day

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 SEPTEMBER 2022 – With our rich food culture, Malaysians are often spoilt for choice. What immediately comes to our minds about our delicious array of food are the charcoal-flamed, flavourful plate of Penang Char Kuew Teow, succulent and the goodness of Ipoh Chicken Rice, the iconic and aromatic Nasi Lemak, and one of the Top 50 world’s best desserts, Cendol. Getting hungry, already?  

The food delivery industry in Malaysia has seen an increase in popularity, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the convenience and wide variety of food options available at their fingertips, Malaysians increasingly prefer online food delivery. According to Statista.com1, in August last year, 33% of Malaysian respondents stated that they spent between RM20 – RM30 on one order via a food delivery app and around 11% of those spent RM50 or more.  

ShopeeFood connects Shopee users to various eateries, from popular joints to local street food stalls, at the best value. ShopeeFood is available in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Selangor, Penang, Johor, Ipoh and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. There are over 2,000 cuisines to choose from depending on your mood and taste for the day.  

“In today’s world, people are becoming increasingly reliant and comfortable with digital services, including food delivery. Malaysians have readily adopted this trend as it provides the convenience, value, and variety that online food offers. ShopeeFood is thrilled to offer our users the best food and at the same time enjoy the seamlessness of our platform by paying with ShopeePay, our integrated mobile wallet,” said Mr. Cheok Tuan Ee, Head of Marketing for ShopeePay and ShopeeFood. 

ShopeeFood User’s Top Favourite Cuisines 

As they say, you are not a Malaysian if you do not like Malaysian food. ShopeeFood users from all six locations seem to have a top favourite, which is the crispy and hearty Roti Canai. Whether it is Roti Canai Biasa or Telur, top it with your favourite curry, it is worth savouring every bite. Another hot favourite from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Johor and Penang is the popular beverage, Coffee. Hot, cold, grande or local kopi at the Mamak, coffee is a much-needed boost.     

ShopeeFood users didn’t leave out the most important staple food in Malaysia, which is rice. Penangites of course love their Nasi Kandar and Selangor and Penang has a favour for a delicious packet of Chicken Rice. How can we forget our favourite Nasi Lemak as users from Selangor and Johor voted it as one of their top favourite food. 

“Looks like the popular everyday Malaysian food, Roti Canai is a winner on ShopeeFood across our locations. Who doesn’t like a hot steaming plate of Roti Canai especially when it can be delivered right to your doorstep? Our merchants work hand in hand to provide a smooth delivery experience including going digital by using our mobile wallet, ShopeePay,” quipped Mr. Cheok Tuan Ee. 

Here is the complete list of ShopeeFood user’s top five favourite cuisines!  

Let’s Get Hungry with ShopeeFood!  

Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya  

‘Bang, roti canai, satu,’. Sounds familiar? Looks like the staple food for most Malaysians is the ‘Roti Canai Biasa’ and Coffee, whether it is for breakfast or supper. Satay ‘Ayam’ or Daging’ seem to be a favourite choice too, especially added with the delicious and flavourful ‘Kuah Kacang’. Next up we have the famous Fried Rice, particularly for ‘Nasi Goreng Kampung’ followed by ‘Nasi Goreng Ayam’. Oh, wait! Don’t forget the Fried Egg too or fondly known as ‘Telur Dadar’.   

  1. Roti Canai  
  2. Coffee 
  3. Satay (Chicken and Beef) 
  4. Fried Rice (Kampung and Chicken) 
  5. Fried Egg (Telur Dadar)

Selangor  

‘Roti Canai Biasa’ tops it again as the first choice. Now, we have another Malaysian favourite, the iconic and aromatic ‘Nasi Lemak Biasa’. It is like food for the soul for us, don’t you agree? The popular Chicken Rice is a must too. It may look like it is just a plate of rice and a cut of steamed or roasted chicken, but the flavours come alive with each spoonful. Another food choice Malaysians can’t live without is Fried Chicken, especially on cheat days. Love spicy food? ‘Nasi Ayam Penyet’ accompanied with flaming ‘sambal’ has that kick you can’t resist!   

  1. Roti Canai  
  2. Nasi Lemak  
  3. Chicken Rice 
  4. Fried Chicken 
  5. Nasi Ayam Penyet 

Johor  

‘Roti Canai Biasa’ scores again with the additional favourite of ‘Roti Canai Telur’. Malaysians do love their eggs! Coffee seems to be their favourite too followed by ‘Nasi Lemak Ayam’. The crunch from the fried chicken or the spice from the chicken rendang does the trick every time. If you are a fan of comfort food (though most of our cuisines are comfort food), Bubur or Porridge seem to be a favourite for Johorians. Warm and tasty! And lastly, we have one of the 50 best street foods in Asia, released on CNN recently on their Asian food list. Drum rolls, please. The sweet and sour-fish-based soup, ‘Asam Laksa’. Can we get a bowl, please?   

  1. Roti Canai  
  2. Coffee 
  3. Nasi Lemak Ayam 
  4. Chicken Porridge 
  5. Asam Laksa

Penang  

The succulent Chicken Rice hits the spot as the top favourite followed by again, ‘Roti Canai Biasa’. Next up we have of course the ‘Nasi Kandar’. Almost everyone who visits Penang won’t leave without a hot plate of Nasi Kandar. Now, you can order via ShopeeFood, anytime! Penangites do love their Coffee and guess what, Iced Tea too. Certainly, refreshing on a hot day. Lastly, we have an international cuisine which is loved by Malaysians, ‘Sushi’. Goodness in every bite.   

  1. Chicken Rice 
  2. Roti Canai  
  3. Nasi Kandar 
  4. Coffee and Iced Tea 
  5. Sushi

Ipoh 

Ipoh is known for its beautiful limestone karst mountains, caves, serene hot springs, and delicious food. ‘Sushi’ seems to be a favourite and wait for it, ‘Roti Canai Biasa’. ‘Keropok Lekor’ is top of the list too, as it is a popular snack any time of the day. Fried Chicken is also a local favourite, an easy-to-order food. Oh, finally a dessert. Ice cream is a must-have choice to complete a meal or whenever you like it.   

  1. Sushi 
  2. Roti Canai  
  3. Keropok Lekor 
  4. Fried Chicken 
  5. Ice Cream

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Besides the majestic mountains and beautiful beaches, food is an attraction too and ShopeeFood delivers right to your doorstep. Let’s explore the top cuisines. The award should be given to ‘Roti Canai’ as it is one of their top favourite foods to order, both ‘Roti Canai Biasa’ and ‘Roti Canai Telur’. Another favourite is Pasta, and you can find a variety of Pasta on the App. Chicken Porridge is popular too, perfect for a cold night. Now, on for some sweet treats. ‘Milk Tea with Pearls’ has become a popular beverage, especially among millennials. Sabahans also like ordering Waffles, which can be enjoyed and is available any time of the day.     

  1. Roti Canai  
  2. Pasta 
  3. Chicken Porridge 
  4. Milk Tea with Pearls

148% Boost in Affiliate Sales for Local Prepaid Sellers on Shopee

Malaysians help local sellers to drive tangible results with Shopee Affiliate Programme

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 SEPTEMBER 2022 – The internet, social media, and affiliate market have changed dramatically over the past year. Enabled across the board and many product categories, the top three most popular products among Shopee Affiliates span across telco prepaid cards, followed by mobile phones and women’s watches.

Shopee witnessed a 148% year-on-year boost in local telco prepaid cards sold through the Shopee Affiliate Programme throughout Malaysia between January to August 2022 compared to last year. Between 1 July and now shows that local sellers selling prepaid cards have received a traffic boost of at least 6.1 million clicks from Shopee Affiliates.

According to Shopee, this trend aligns with market data towards an increase in millennial spending and telecommunication penetration rate. Users have become much more tech-savvy and are actively seeking services that suit their increasingly digital lifestyle, from how they reload mobile prepaid to how they pay their bills. This reflects the need for users to source more affordable and convenient alternatives in the market.

Huiyan Pan, Head of Brand Marketing at Shopee Malaysia, shared that telco prepaid cards are popular among Shopee Affiliates to promote and for industry players to keep ahead with more promotional activities. With many new channels evolving and affiliates thriving on their knowledge and influence over niche audiences, they have become an important channel to drive sales and awareness for sellers on Shopee.

“We want to open up more opportunities for affiliates to earn a side income by optimizing their social media following while increasing sellers’ online sales. As the market continues to grow, the programme’s benefits are more apparent to sellers of all sizes, and we can expect to see more involvement of Shopee Affiliates in the coming years,” added Pan.

Shopee strives to empower affiliates to showcase their creativity and build authentic connections while helping local sellers grow their social presence and drive tangible results.

The Shopee Affiliate Programme is a free initiative for affiliates to earn cash incentives for every completed order via their personalized link. The programme currently serves as a means for non-Shopee shop owners to earn additional income from their social media followings.

Badminton legend Datuk Rashid Sidek’s active lifestyle and passion is being fueled by the new MILO® HI-FIBRE which is high in fibre and with the great MILO® taste for all to enjoy

Kuala Lumpur, August 17, 2022 – Datuk Rashid Sidek joins forces with MILO® on a mission to energise Malaysians to bravely step forward with the new MILO® HI-FIBRE. Having made the nation proud with his numerous accomplishments in a decades-spanning career as Malaysia’s legendary badminton player, Datuk Rashid Sidek is now taking another brave step forward to continue championing an active lifestyle with the nutrition and energy of the new MILO® HI-FIBRE as his MILO® of choice that fuels the next chapter of his life.

MILO® HI-FIBRE is a new addition to the growing range of MILO® products with additional nutritional benefits of high fibre content, while maintaining the goodness of Malaysia’s favourite blend of malt barley, milk and cocoa with essential vitamins and minerals. Each serving (30g) of MILO® HI-FIBRE contains 3.7g of fibre, which fulfills 12% of daily fibre needs[1]. Dietary fibre is a critical component of a wholesome, balanced diet to maintain digestive function. Additionally, this new product contains only about half a teaspoon of sugar (sucrose)[2] per serving, suitable for those who seek less sugar options in their diet. Even with this combination, Malaysians will be able to appreciate the iconic MILO® taste that they love.

“Having grown up on MILO®, I am pleased that MILO® too has evolved with me to meet my needs as an adult today. MILO® HI-FIBRE gives me the energy to carry out my daily activities. On top of staying active with my family, I keep my days busy coaching young badminton players and passing onto them the skills and values that I learned from my time as a competitive player. It is such a good fit with my lifestyle, not to mention its high fibre content that helps me maintain good nutrition and the great chocolatey MILO® taste that is less sweet just to my liking,” said Datuk Rashid Sidek.

Sharing the excitement over Datuk Rashid Sidek’s ambassadorship on MILO® HI-FIBRE, Ng Su Yen, Business Executive Officer – MILO® Business Unit, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad remarked, “A badminton legend who is also a hero of the rakyat, Datuk Rashid Sidek embodies the spirit and values of a MILO® champion, one who keeps going no matter the odds and whose courage has shot him to great heights. We are proud to welcome Datuk Rashid Sidek to team MILO® and together, we wish to inspire other Malaysians to bravely step forward with the energy of MILO® HI-FIBRE and take on challenges with confidence.”

Ng added, “We are delighted to introduce MILO® HI-FIBRE as part of our ongoing commitment to our brand purpose by innovating nutritious offerings to meet the evolving consumer needs, tastes and preferences. Being active with good nutrition is essential, particularly to adults. With MILO® HI-FIBRE, we want to help further meet their daily nutritional needs with the great MILO® taste that they love for them to win in their busy days and active lifestyles.”

MILO® HI-FIBRE also meets the Healthier Choice Logo criteria outlined by the Ministry of Health Malaysia. It is lower in total sugars and fat, while higher in fibre compared to other products without the Healthier Choice logo in the same malted powder drink category.

Available in two formats – 900g soft pouch packs and 30g stick packs (a packet of 12 stick packs) – MILO® HI-FIBRE can be purchased at stores near you or online via your preferred e-commerce sites. To discover the goodness of MILO® HI-FIBRE, go to https://www.milo.com.my/milo-hi-fibre.
