Kuala Lumpur, 15 March 2023 – In today’s hectic life schedules, consumers are looking for self-care in pretty-much any form they can find it – and one of the most successful attempts to quieten that persistent feeling of stress and anxiety has come by luxe-ing up shower time.

Mamee Monster evokes childhood nostalgia with limited edition retro design packs

SUBANG JAYA (15 March 2023) – Mamee Monster, the country’s best known and loved homegrown noodle snack is taking a trip down memory lane with the 1970s version of the brand’s famous blue Mamee Monster making a return this month.

Malaysians can expect to see the iconic blue Mamee Monster back in its familiar 2D retro format on the brand’s bright yellow Mamee Monster Family Pack bags as the products become available in Malaysia and Singapore from March 2023 onwards for limited time only. There will also be collectible stickers in the packs, just like how Mamee Monster used to include surprise items in-pack. This limited-edition packaging with vintage vibes is being rolled out as a tribute to MAMEE-Double Decker’s late founder and executive chairman, Datuk Pang Chin Hin, who passed away in November 2022.

Mamee Monster is a crunchy noodle snack that made its debut in 1974 after Datuk Pang’s eldest son, MAMEE-Double Decker Executive Chairman Tan Sri Pang Tee Chew picked up on something while driving through the estates in Alor Gajah, Malacca – he noticed the rubber tappers were eating uncooked instant noodles straight from the pack. This led the Pang father-son duo to steer their noodle production in a new direction. They decided to pre-season the noodles before selling them, and that was the start of one of the first Malaysia’s favourite snacks. Mamee Monster noodles became a hit not just with the youngsters but also with the adults, thanks to its rich flavour, strong marketing strategy and widespread availability.

“The Mamee Monster noodle snack has been the quintessential Malaysian childhood snack that has been spreading joy for decades, whether enjoyed as a snack at home, in school, at a party or on the go. We have the late Datuk Pang to thank for that and this Mamee Monster Retro Campaign is our way of paying tribute to him and celebrating his life, his creativity and many contributions,” said How Yuan Yi, Chief Marketing Officer of MAMEE-Double Decker.

“Mamee Monster was one of the first of Datuk Pang’s creations and he also created other memorable childhood snacks such as Double Decker prawn crackers, Mister Potato chips and Corntoz corn snacks. We hope that the Mamee Monster Retro campaign will give our consumers a chance to relive their childhood. In fact, we’d like to bring back some of those great memories to share with everyone and we’ll be rewarding consumers for that too,” she added.

The Mamee Monster’s World of Nowstalgia is a word play on ‘nostalgic’ and ‘now’. This campaign aims to leverage that nostalgia, and turn it into something modern, something new, yet retains the charm of the old Mamee Monster packs. The campaign leveraged the rich visual heritage of the brand, transporting it into today’s world.

All the elements, designs, colours, and music that evoke memories of a simpler time, before the rise of the internet and social media, to remind people that even in today’s high-tech, fast-moving, ever-evolving world, there’s always room for the simple pleasures, such as a pack of Mamee Monster noodle snack.

Mamee Monster lovers can look forward to winning cash prizes and exclusive merchandise from now until 29 March 2023. To qualify for the contest, consumers will need to make a minimum purchase of one Mamee Monster Family Pack Retro Limited Edition and follow the Mamee Monster account on Instagram (www.instagram.com/iammameemonster).

Participants will then need to take a creative picture of them enjoying the Mamee Monster Family Pack Retro Limited Edition, include a caption about their favourite Mamee Monster memory and post it on Instagram with the hashtag #MameeMonsterWorldofNowstalgia and tag the @iammameemonster account.

This contest is open to Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above. Mamee Monster will select 80 weekly prize winners for the four contest weeks – each winner will receive RM200 cash and a limited edition Mamee Monster Retro t-shirt and tote bag.

Mamee Monster Family Pack Retro Limited Edition are available in four flavours – Black Pepper, BBQ, Hot & Spicy, and Chicken and are priced at RM3.50 onwards for the Mamee Monster Family Pack. They can be found at all major supermarkets, hypermarkets, mini-markets, petrol marts and convenience stores nationwide, as well as Mamee Jonker House in Malacca. They can also be purchased via MAMEE’s official store on Lazada and Shopee.

For enquiries about Mamee Monster, please call the MAMEE-Double Decker toll-free careline at 1-300-22-6263 or send a WhatsApp text to +606-231 6362 between 9am and 5pm from Mondays to Fridays, send an email to careline@mamee.com.my or visit https://mamee.com/.

Gender equality requires the involvement, cooperation and support of various stakeholders. We’re pleased to be part of this encouraging collaboration between the private and public sector. MAGGI® will work with the Ministry on grassroot community outreach with a key focus on the B40 community, offering upskilling workshops and engagement sessions to help them tap into the digital economy.”

MAGGI® is taking a step further to elevate the Program Mentor Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® to the next level by collaborating with renowned digital leaders such as Google, Meta, and TikTok.

This year’s Bengkel Online Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI® introduces a brand-new online module for participants who want to start their journey as food-based content creators, either as individuals or business owners.

Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of MAGGI® of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad said “As we progress along to support women in their upskilling journey, it is important to remind all that we must always strive for progress and make a difference, no matter how small. So we should constantly ask ourselves, ‘Apa perubahan anda hari ini?’ (‘What changes did you make today?’). We are confident that through the Program Mentor Wanita Cukup Berani MAGGI®, we can continue to encourage women to make a positive change as aligned with MAGGI® CukupRasa’s ‘Tak Kenal, Tak Cinta’ (‘Never Try, Never Know’) spirit.”

Shopee Express Stays Committed to Timely Deliveries Despite Unpredictable Weather

Couriers navigate through difficult circumstances to provide relief to local communities

KUALA LUMPUR, 17 MARCH 2023 – Shopee Express has overcome unpredictable weather conditions, especially in flood-prone areas, to ensure that essential deliveries are made on time. Despite the challenges posed by the weather in several locations such as Kuantan, Muadzam, and Rompin in Pahang as well as Johor Jaya, Kota Tinggi, Mersing, Muar, Segamat, and Yong Peng in Johor, Shopee Express remains committed to providing fast and reliable delivery services to communities in Malaysia.

The unpredictable weather in Malaysia posed significant challenges to businesses operating in the country, particularly those in the logistics and delivery sectors. In such cases, Shopee Express adapted quickly to ensure that unfavourable weather conditions do not impact couriers and deliveries in such scenarios. These measures enable them to deliver orders on schedule while maintaining a high level of safety, care, and precision.

While rescheduling may be necessary in some instances due to local authorities closing off specific routes due to potential high risk of flood or landslide, Shopee Express ensured that customers were kept informed of any changes to their delivery schedules through push notifications. Parcels were delivered diligently at the earliest possible time once conditions permitted.

Muhammad Faris Bin Ismail

Muhammad Faris Bin Ismail, 21, a Shopee Express courier from Sri Medan, Johor, who regularly covers Seri Damai Perdana, stated that during the recent flood, he had to navigate through floodwaters as high as 3.5 feet and was occasionally stranded during the journey. Amidst difficult conditions, he persists in delivering parcels safely by foot, fulfilling his duty and the confidence placed in him. He recognizes the importance of bringing joy and convenience to the local communities and feels grateful to be able to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

Norazman Bin Mohd Ismail

 

Norazman Bin Mohd Ismail, 34, a Shopee Express courier from Karak, Pahang for over 2 years, shared that the flood season presents uncertainties for delivery services. He feels deeply for those impacted by the floods and strives to deliver parcels safely and promptly as he understands that some parcels may contain urgent items like food or supplements that customers need. Yet, he knows that circumstances beyond his control may result in delays and apologises beforehand for any inconvenience, all the while maintaining his commitment to offering reliable delivery services to customers.

Cheah Lee Sun, Head of Shopee Express, affirmed that timely delivery is important to the communities they serve. “We worked tirelessly to fulfil our promises, even in the face of unpredictable weather conditions. Our couriers are trained to handle such situations, and we are proud of their dedication to support the affected communities.”

“These hardworking couriers handle numerous orders every day, covering long distances to reach their destinations. The number of parcels delivered is a testament to their commitment to supporting local communities. Despite encountering unforeseen challenges along their journey, they display resilience and sacrifice their personal time with loved ones to fulfil their responsibilities.”

Shopee Express has become a reliable and trustworthy partner for online shoppers, thanks to its same-day delivery and expanded coverage in Borneo. In order to ensure the safety of its couriers, Shopee Express carefully monitors the weather every day, and provides extra protection to customers’ parcels by using gunny sacks and plastic wraps.
