Recognising Ara Damansara Medical Centre’s Historic COVID-19 Vaccination Efforts and Bukit Tinggi Medical Centre’s Exceptional Patient Care and Community Services

Selangor, 3 April 2023 – Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) has once again proven its commitment to providing exceptional patient care as they take home not one, but two prestigious awards at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2023. Ara Damansara Medical Centre (ADMC) and Bukit Tinggi Medical Centre (BTMC), two of RSDH’s esteemed hospitals, were recognised for their contributions to patient care and community service. ADMC made history for their efforts in COVID-19 vaccination for persons with disabilities (PWDs), while BTMC was named the Most Improved Community Hospital of the Year for delivering top-notch healthcare services to its patients and the community.

The Healthcare Asia Awards recognises healthcare providers who innovate and reinvent initiatives to better serve their patients and protect their employees amidst the massive disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The awards honour hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare providers that have risen above the challenges and made a remarkable impact on their patients.

“We are immensely grateful to be recognised by the Healthcare Asia Awards for delivering exceptional healthcare services at ADMC and BTMC. These awards reflect our team’s unwavering dedication, and we will continue to strive for excellence in all our endeavours,” said Mr Peter Hong, Group CEO of RSDH.

Breaking Barriers: ADMC’s Ground-breaking Drive-Through Vaccination Programme for People with Disabilities (PWDs)

ADMC stands as a preeminent hospital in the region, offering 220 beds and a wide range of specialities to provide comprehensive healthcare services. Its commitment to medical advancements and comprehensive care is reflected in its recent award for Vaccination Delivery of the Year. ADMC’s drive-through vaccination programme, in partnership with Protecthealth Corporation, OKU Sentral, Yayasan Sime Darby, and Sime Darby Plantation, successfully vaccinated 13,500 Persons with Disabilities (PWD) and their caregivers. The initiative aimed to provide a comfortable and efficient vaccination experience, with a dedicated task force overcoming challenges to ensure a smooth process.

Puan Miranda Harumal, Chief Executive Officer of ADMC expressed her gratitude for the recognition of their Vaccination Delivery of the Year award. She stated that their pioneering drive-through vaccination programme was committed to providing comprehensive healthcare services to all patients, including those with disabilities, and that their success was a testament to their dedication to innovation and comprehensive care.

ADMC’s drive-through vaccination initiative won the “Outstanding Vaccination Contribution for OKU” award in the Public-Private Partnership category presented by the Malaysian Health Minister.

Raising the Bar: BTMC’s Award-Winning Commitment to Patient Care and Community Service during the COVID-19 Pandemic

BTMC prioritises community healthcare, offering multiple specialities and MSQH Accreditation to guarantee the best care and safety for patients. Its dedication to continuous improvement sets it apart as a leader in the industry. During the COVID-19 pandemic, BTMC remained committed to patient care and community service, initiating several notable community initiatives despite challenges.

‘Care 4 Klang’ Food Bank

BTMC provided aid during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown by delivering essential food items to those in need, demonstrating selfless acts of kindness and inspiring others. 

Program Komuniti Sihat

BTMC’s impactful partnership with the Klang Municipal Council and Community Leaders of Pulau Ketam resulted in over 1,000 elderly residents receiving crucial health checks and gaining awareness of the significance of community health. 

The Gift of Sight with the Rotary Club Klang Central

‘The Gift of Sight’ programme has provided free cataract surgeries to 30 recipients in the B40 community of Klang Valley since December 2020, transforming their lives and restoring their vision.

BTMC provided essential medical care, including dental, eye, and paediatric check-ups for children aged 4 to 13 years old in the estate area, where many struggle with poor eyesight which affects their academic performance.

Ms Jasmine Lau, BTMC’s Chief Executive Officer, commented proudly, “We believe that our patients and community are at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud to offer compassionate and inclusive care that meets their unique needs. We understand the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought, but our team remained steadfast in our commitment to providing exceptional care and supporting the community through various initiatives. We are grateful for this recognition and remain dedicated to continuing to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.”

From 6 April to 6 May, the beloved bar along Neil Road will be serving up limited-time cocktails that feature White Rabbit candy and ice cream — imported into Singapore by Hao Food SG — with a playful flair

SINGAPORE, 6 April 2023 – This Easter, the official White Rabbit brand, imported into Singapore by Hao Food SG, is excited to announce a special collaboration with homegrown restaurant and bar Jekyll & Hyde. From 6 April to 6 May, the establishment will be serving two limited-time cocktails inspired by the classic White Rabbit candy and ice cream!

Chasing the Cotton Tail (Photo Credit: Adrian Thoo)

First up is Chase the Cotton Tail ($25++), a coquettish take on the classic White Rabbit candy. Familiar but naughty, this cocktail features homemade White Rabbit-flavoured foam made of the candy and ice cream — creating a luxurious, decadent rendition of the beloved childhood sweet.

Bourbon, chocolate liqueur, and orange triple sec are mixed together to create a gloriously complex and addictive drink, while rainbow sprinkles on the top add texture and a pop of colour to the playful cocktail.

Chase the Cotton Tail is also available as a delectable non-alcoholic mocktail.

Matcha Meadows (Photo Credit: Adrian Thoo)

Next up is Matcha Meadows ($25++). A sophisticated, urbane cocktail with a base of vodka, cognac, dry vermouth and white chocolate, this drink takes the familiar White Rabbit candy and gives it a fancy spin.

The clean taste of vodka accentuates the intense flavour of the White Rabbit matcha candy. Balanced out with bittersweet chocolate liquor, the cocktail is lent a delectable fruity quality by a splash of cognac and is finished with a generous sprinkling of premium matcha powder as garnish.

That’s not all! The White Rabbit will be working through the Easter holiday to bring you more surprises: Keep your eyes peeled for a secret cocktail, which you can request from Jekyll & Hyde’s friendly bartenders.

Group Merchandise (Photo credit: Adrian Thoo)

Last but not least, official White Rabbit merchandise — such as mugs, pillows, and retro candy tins — will also be available for purchase at Jekyll & Hyde during this period.

While you’re there, be sure to spot the giant White Rabbit inflatable and snap a photo with it!

‘Coca-Cola’ forays into vitamin drinks market with new ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost, delighting juice lovers with 200% more vitamin C and real fruit pulp

Wednesday 05 April 2023 – Coca-Cola Thailand is excited to introduce new products under its ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ brand: ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost Orange and a new flavor: ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost Lemon. These drinks feature the same pulp used in the original and are enriched with the signature real pulp, an additional 200% more vitamin C, and 50% more vitamin B, while containing less sugar.

In addition to this, the new ‘Minute Maid Splash’ range also offers a great taste and refreshing quality for consumers while maintaining high levels of vitamin C to provide a refreshing experience packed with more benefits than ever.

Coca-Cola Thailand’s introduction of ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ reflects the company’s commitment to providing greater various product benefits to consumers and addressing fans’ desire for more beverage options in the market. This move emphasizes Coca-Cola’s position as a ‘total beverage’ company, with the intention to meet all consumer lifestyles and strengthen local roots to move the company forward as it begins to build its ‘Delightful Fruit Nutrition’ category in the market. The growing interest and continuous demand for new experiences and products among consumers has prompted many companies, including Coca-Cola, to dive deeper into their beverage portfolios.

Ms. Richa Singh, Marketing Director, Coca-Cola Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, said: “We have observed a significant shift in consumer behavior among Thai people. They have found that vitamin C is one of the top three factors that people prioritize when selecting products to consume. Consumers believe that products with a good source of vitamin C can help support the building of antioxidants, maintain normal immune system functioning, and contribute to collagen production, which is beneficial for the skin. It is important for consumers to regularly consume different varieties of food in appropriate proportions to maintain a balanced diet. As a result, the company has leveraged the benefits of vitamins to meet the needs of consumers and is excited to introduce ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost and ‘Minute Maid Splash’, hoping that consumers will enjoy its deliciousness with real fruit pulp as well as its benefits.”

The introduction of the new, ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost, is based on the concept ‘Filled with Life’, which aims to provide young working people with refreshment and enjoyment in daily life. The marketing campaign features several KOLs and is aimed at raising awareness among consumers and providing them with online advertising, OOH, and on-ground activities during the Songkran festival across the country that consumers can enjoy great taste and signature real pulp, getting refreshment from ‘Minute Maid’ throughout the summer.

The new ‘Minute Maid Pulpy’ C-Boost comes in two delicious flavors and is available in 290 ml sizes. Additionally, ‘Minute Maid Splash’ is available in 250 ml and 180 ml sizes, both with an irresistible taste. These products are now available at modern trade outlets, traditional stores, and e-commerce channels across Thailand.
