Drop by at the nearest Anlene roadshow to get your FREE Bone Scan and Muscle Strength Test worth RM150!
KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Feb 2023 – Imagine being as fit and flexible as the Golden Globe Award recipient and Anlene ambassador, Michelle Yeoh, who performs her own stunts including challenging martial arts movements on screen. She started drinking Anlene 15 years ago and gets her daily calcium and nutritional needs intake. Caring for her bones, muscles, and joints is very important as it allows her to move freely and without limitations.
To find out if you can move like Michelle Yeoh, attempt the poses below and give them a try at home! Did you find it hard? Head down to one of the Anlene roadshows where you can have a bone density scan and muscle strength test worth RM150 done for free!
As we age, our movements can become harder as we may lose up to 20% of our bone density; and up to 20% of our muscle strength.
Hence why Malaysians should consider adding bone density checks and muscle strength checks to their annual health screening routine to get an indication of their bone and muscle health status. A bone density test can determine your risk for poor bone health. In addition, muscle strength tests can evaluate how strong your muscles are. Watch this highlight video showcase the activities at one of Anlene’s roadshows!
Stop by at the nearest roadshow to get your bones and muscles checked for free! You can also find out more about why Anlene is Michelle Yeoh’s choice of adult milk.

DKSH has collaborated with The Lost Food Project (TLFP) for the fourth consecutive year to redistribute surplus products to eliminate hunger among underprivileged communities in Malaysia, while reducing product waste in the process.
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, February 2, 2023 – DKSH, a leading partner for companies seeking to grow their businesses in Asia and beyond, has been taking a targeted effort in redistributing food and reducing product waste through their long-term partnership with The Lost Food Project (TLFP) – a not-for-profit organization dedicated to a sustainable future by rescuing “lost” food and finding a new home for it with people who need it most.
Since 2018, DKSH has been providing surplus products that are safe and edible, including vegetables, dry goods, dairy products, drinks, condiments, and canned food, to TLFP to be distributed to over 60 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that serve the elderly, orphans, disabled, homeless, refugees, and lower-income households as well as thousands of B40 communities.
Through this meaningful collaboration that is in line with DKSH’s Sustainability Framework, which focuses on “Our People – Our Partners – Our Planet”, DKSH has donated about 29,000 kilograms of nutritious surplus food and provided more than 83,000 meals to the urban poor in 2022. This effort has also successfully prevented over 72,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide from being produced.
The Lost Food Project CEO, Tuan Haji Ab Wahab Bin Long, said: “Malaysians are still throwing away plenty of edible food daily, while some in the community are still going to bed hungry. We hope that through collaborations like this one with DKSH, we can all work together to create a more sustainable future.”
Puneet Mishra, Head, Country Management and Vice President, FMCG, DKSH Malaysia, added: “Our long-term partnership with TLFP is a strong testament to our commitment to sustainability. As a company that is dedicated to enriching people’s lives, we will continue to contribute nutritious and high-quality surplus products to help the communities in need, while managing our environmental footprint in the process.”
This collaboration is in line with DKSH Consumer Goods’ endeavors to recover and distribute surplus products across Asia Pacific.
About The Lost Food Project
The Lost Food Project is a non-profit organization in Malaysia dedicated to a sustainable future by rescuing quality, nutritious surplus food (that would otherwise end up in landfill) and distributing it to those in need. TLFP has distributed over 38,504 meals since 2021 by collaborating with retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors. A total of 13,476 kg of food was diverted from landfill and redirected to feed those in need, saving 33,690 kg of greenhouse gas emissions
Malaysia, 2 February 2023 – ARTBOX, Singapore’s largest lifestyle event, is back after a three-year hiatus and celebrates the return to normalcy by reconnecting with everyone again in a physical event space. Held from 24 to 26 February and 3 to 5 March 2023, at Singapore Expo Hall 6 with this year’s theme being Vision. Visitors are encouraged to go beyond reality and explore ARTBOX with a spirit of playful cheekiness and happiness. Invade, together with co-organiser SGAG, promises that this year’s edition of ARTBOX is sure to bring out everyone’s inner mischief within.
A report by the Department of Statistics Singapore (DOSS) shows that close to 600,000 Malaysian travellers visited Singapore over the past year. With this upcoming event, Malaysians would have more reasons to visit.
With more than 20 of the distinctive shipping containers making their return at the event, the Thai origin event offers a uniquely Singaporean twist. ARTBOX is also collaborating with regional art enthusiasts and motion designers, as their vibrant and visionary art installations tell a tale of hope, courage and inner strength.
Non-Stop, Fun-filled Activities
ARTBOX 2023 x @lesdoublewood Inflatable
True to this year’s theme of Vision, ARTBOX implores visitors to discover what the future holds at Fortune Town. The journey begins through the Fortune Tunnel, where one will find themselves reaching the enigmatic Fortune Town, filled with hands-on workshops and activities to appeal to the adventurous and fortune-seeking. There will be booths that offer aura reading, henna and Jagua body art, and visitors can even purchase crystals to take home.
ARTBOX 2023 x @@REYGULAR Projection Mapping
No event is complete without music, and ARTBOX has invited popular local and international artistes from Cross Ratio Entertainment to perform songs on the main stage that will leave everyone grooving to the beats. Musing over this year’s line-up of events, Invade’s Chief Executive Officer, Kent Teo, shares that ARTBOX VISION 2023 is akin to a box full of surprises. “We are pulling out all the stops for this year’s edition of ARTBOX with various collaborations, art installations, activities, retail and F&B experiences that will get everyone excited and entertained,” he notes.
SGAG, one of Singapore’s top comedy content producers, is co-organising with Invade for this year’s ARTBOX to deliver a slew of challenges and activities that will leave all in laughter – maybe even some in tears. Taking place on the SGAG event stage at ARTBOX, the Beam of Pain is one such challenge that will test participants’ pain thresholds and determination. An agonising test of strength, the Beam of Pain is a mini obstacle course featuring a 15-metre balancing beam lined with acupuncture mats. Completing this would be a daunting and impossible task for most, but the $888 cash reward lies in wait for the fastest and bravest challenger who conquers the Beam of Pain.
“I have high hopes that the Beam of Pain is going to be difficult to the point that no one will be able to complete it”, Adrian Ang (Xiao Ming), Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of SGAG, said cheekily. “If that is the case, then I will keep the $888 prize for myself!”
A Retail Therapy and Gastronomic Experience Like No Other
With close to 300 booths, visitors will be treated to vendors from various regions that are both new and familiar. On-demand delivery platform foodpanda is also one of ARTBOX’s key partners.

Thursday 02 February 2023 – SPRITE(TM), the iconic lemon-lime flavor drink under the beverage portfolio of Coca-Cola Thailand, revealed its new ‘Irresistible Taste’ creative global campaign centered on the product’s new, delicious taste – encouraging trial amongst Gen Z consumers.
The successful launch of the Sprite ‘Heat Happens’ global platform in 2022 encouraged people to ‘stay cool’ in tension-driven or physically heated moments. Leaning on the insight that people, especially the Gen Z-ers, live in a more heated world than ever, Sprite actively invited people to enjoy a refreshing ice-cold Sprite drink and keep their cool instead.
Irresistibly delicious visuals
Moving now to its next chapter, the latest campaign aims to drive awareness and trial of the new, irresistibly delicious Sprite. Reinforcing the cut-through refreshing qualities of the lemon-lime drink, and rousing all the senses – touch, smell, sound, and taste – the ‘Irresistible Taste’ campaign will highlight the intense carbonation and thirst-quenching taste through the bubbles, condensation, and lemon-lime visual cues as well as audio cues of the ice clinking, the sound of a can opening, and the bubbles fizzing – ultimately letting our refreshment cues do the talking by giving the consumers a sensorial appreciation of Sprite when they need it the most.
Richa Singh, Marketing Director, Coca-Cola Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos, said: “With the brand’s commitment to thirst-quenching and giving consumers a cool and refreshing experience, the new ‘Irresistible Taste’ introduced by Sprite No Sugar, with its deliciously fizzy new formula, is beyond irresistible and is now ready to create disruptive experiences through various marketing activities, along with explosive events throughout the campaign.”
The new Sprite No Sugar formula also takes fizziness to the next level by combining different elements to enhance interactions with the brand, from thrilling and full-of-fun marketing activities through off-pack, TV, and digital content to many more cool activities. The campaign will reach consumers both physically and digitally through extensive social media channels, together with renowned brand presenter, Violette Wautier, who will surprise fans by joining the sampling event.
Activities will be held during February 2023, together with various KOLs who will engage Gen-Zers along the way, to prove how new formula Sprite No Sugar can cool down any heated moments through different social media platforms. Lots of fun and fizzy activities are on the way soon.
“Our ambition to cool down people through multi-channel and sensorial experiences will be realized through the new ‘Irresistible Taste’ campaign. What we want is to show – not just tell – people why Sprite has that ‘irresistible taste’. We’re quite excited to roll out the activities we have in store throughout the year so be on the watch out for that,” Richa Singh, Marketing Director, Coca-Cola Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos concluded.
Sprite No Sugar, the latest formula, comes in lemon-lime flavor and with an irresistible taste, now available at modern trade outlets, traditional stores, and e-commerce channels across Thailand.
