KUALA LUMPUR, 2 NOVEMBER 2022 – Today, Shopee Malaysia hosted the Future of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencers, a virtual forum discussing the relatability of influencer community online. The panel featured four keynote speakers: Hanita Sayuti (Shopee Bintang Seller), Nikki Wong (Shopee Livestream Influencer), Syazwani Md Saad (Shopee Affiliate), and Mr Kenneth Soh (Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia).
What Attracts You To Livestreaming Platforms
Emphasising the power of livestreaming to build more engaging and personalised relationships online, Kenneth Soh said: “On Shopee, we have an ecosystem of trusted influencers — they are fellow users and sellers themselves who provide authentic experiences during Big Campaigns. While thousands of buyers watch Shopee Live daily, not everyone watches solely for shopping purposes. In fact, 27% of our surveyed buyers watch Shopee Live for entertainment and educational content. For example, in Shopee Live’s “Mum’s Club Show” programme, communities of mom influencers speak about health topics related to other moms, kids, and even kids with special needs.“
Azaria Tagaya (Moderator), Hanita Sayuti (Shopee Bintang Seller), Syazwani Md Saad (Shopee Affiliate), Nikki Wong (Shopee Livestream Influencer), and Mr Kenneth Soh (Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia
“This is an increasingly important channel for sellers to drive conversion on the marketplace. Our data shows that 75% of surveyed customers follow influencers’ tutorial videos in order to solve problems and expand their product knowledge.”
75% of Malaysians Watch Influencer Tutorials to Solve Problems
Hanita Sayuti, Shopee Bintang Seller who also runs a fragrance business called Zheo Lab said, “Influencer marketing is important for business owners as a touchpoint for audiences. There are no brand or product limitations. Personally I’ll be engaging with local celebrity, Dato Rosyam Nor as the ambassador of my Cat Perfume, one of my best selling products on Shopee. Our promotion video has already gone live and we look forward to collaborating with more influencers in the future.”
Speaking on the future of e-commerce, influencers Nikki Wong (shop owner of Bitcraft) and Syazwani Md Saad (a reviewer on home and living products) both agree that listening with empathy and developing personalised content are important for building long-term customer loyalty. Nikki shared, “Consistency breeds familiarity, familiarity breeds confidence, and confidence breeds sales. I don’t have the intention of going live just to get sales, but to share something good with my followers as I would to a friend.” Nikki is part of Shopee Live’s All Stars community, an active and supportive group of influencers who frequently share product reviews, DIY tips, and even feedback on each other’s livestream feeds.
Swazwani added, “I practise transparency and consistency as I attract people who share my values. I make sure to greet my followers every morning and share about my day with them. The process takes time. We should not be afraid to enquire and collaborate with businesses and brands to increase our experience and exposure.”
In the “Future of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencers” survey of 2,459 buyers, 75% of Malaysian shoppers indicated that they wanted to feel more connected through bonding and interacting with followers, fostering strong brand relationships, and staying relevant. In other words, to future proof themselves and stand out in a crowd, Shopee encourages influencers to continue building loyalty by being authentically human in their content and engagements.
How Can Influencers Stand Out from their Peers
1.Survey Methodology*
The 2022 “The Future of E-Commerce with Malaysian Influencers” survey was conducted by Shopee Marketplace, between 28 September and 26 October 2022. Voluntary feedback was obtained from 2,459 Malaysian buyers and 1,035 Malaysian sellers on the platform.
Kuala Lumpur, 2 November 2022 – Tooth sensitivity is often associated with a sharp jolt of discomfort from consuming cold or hot food and beverage such as Ais Kacang, ice cream and a cup of freshly brewed or ice-blended coffee. If a trip to the dentist rules out tooth decay or a cracked tooth, you may be experiencing dentine hypersensitivity, a condition that is characterized by a sharp sensitive feeling due to exposed dental in response to external stimuli.
With over 100 years of innovation in oral healthcare, Listerine® has formulated a unique mouthwash that is clinically proven to provide all-day protection against tooth sensitivity*. Containing potassium nitrate — the star ingredient of Listerine® Total Care Sensitive, it is an active, desensitizing agent used against sensitivity when exposed dental encounters external stimuli like hot and cold food and beverages.
Fluoride, another key ingredient for cavity protection, helps prevent tooth enamel from wearing down while repairing itself. Combined with antibacterial essential oils and a mild soothing taste, Listerine® Total Care Sensitive serves to keep breaths fresh and kill 99.9% ** of germs that cause bad breath, plaque, and gum problems.
Stephen Tiu, Country Director, Consumer Health of Johnson & Johnson Malaysia and Singapore, said: “At Listerine®, we are constantly innovating and evolving to meet the oral hygiene needs of our consumers. Tooth sensitivity can often be a passing remark over a mealtime conversation, but it can affect a person’s quality of life in both the short and long run. With Listerine® Total Care Sensitive, we aim to provide a more robust oral protection against dentine sensitivity to their existing oral hygiene routine. This is also the first time we are introducing potassium nitrate – a desensitizing agent – in combination with fluoride to our mouthwash. This ingredient is new and unique to Listerine® Total Care Sensitive, a distinction from other Listerine® mouthwash lines. As a brand backed by years of robust clinical research, we are proud to offer a multi-action formula that protects and provides fast sensitive relief to Malaysians***.”
According to the 2010 National Oral Health Survey of Adults, 88.9% of adults in Malaysia had dental caries and 94% had gum problems****. Tooth sensitivity can at times be an early sign of a more serious underlying concern such as periodontal diseases, decay, dental caries, or plaque. Now with proper brushing and flossing, along with exposure to active desensitizing ingredients and fluoride found in mouthwashes like Listerine® Total Care Sensitive, one can decrease our overall risk of oral diseases and tooth sensitivity.
For optimal results, use Listerine® Total Care Sensitive for 30 seconds, 2 times daily after brushing. Listerine® Total Care Sensitive is available in 250ml (RM14.20) and 750ml (RM30.80) variants at all major pharmacies, supermarkets and hypermarkets nationwide.
PETALING JAYA, 1 NOVEMBER 2022 – As rich in flavour as it is in artistry, Japanese tea has long been appreciated for its many unique characteristics, from the nutritional, to the cultural, to even the spiritual. More than just a beloved beverage, it is a symbol of the Japanese people and their beliefs, one that is rooted in tradition, heritage and history.
To fully enjoy Japanese tea, therefore, requires an immersion in everything that makes it
distinctive. The World O-CHA Festival is the biggest tea event in Japan, and is held just once every three years. The theme for this year’s edition, held in Shizuoka, Japan’s tea capital, is “Happy Smiles with O-Cha”. It will revolve around efforts to develop tea-producing regions and associated industries as well as expounding on the taste and benefits of tea to encourage wellness, health and appreciation to “bring back smiles to people’s faces around the world.”
A Journey of Discovery
In conjunction with this event, the Japan Tea Export Promotion Council, supported by South-East Asia’s No. 1 Business-to-Business Farm Direct Platform, Secai Marche, is organising the Japanese Tea Week 2022.
To create an authentic Japanese tea experience for Malaysians, Secai Marche is working directly with distinguished farmers around Japan, each employing unique production methods to help bring out the distinctive qualities of their teas. These include Mr. Ikeya of Ikenoya En in Iruma, which produces award-winning Sayama Sencha; Mr. Matsushita of Matsushita Seicha in Tanegashima, which specialises in sustainably-grown Wa-Kocha, or Japanese English Tea; and Mr Tamura of Matcha Organic Japan in Shizuoka, which grows one of Japan’s most renowned organic and premium-grade Matcha, Matcha Yabukita Organic.
A Journey of Taste
On the Malaysian front, Secai Marche will collaborate with key players in the Malaysian cafe scene, namely Bray Bakery (Kuala Lumpur), Mori Kohi (Ampang), Nippori Publika (Sri
Hartamas), and Third Mile (Rivercity, Sentul) to bring exclusive tea dining experiences to life. Each cafe will draw inspiration from the aforementioned specialty teas, imported directly from their specific farms in Japan by Secai Marche, to create limited edition food and beverages that fit naturally into their menus yet provide an outstanding one-of-a-kind tea experience.
Bray Bakery
Bray Bakery, a specialty bakery and coffee establishment “where passion becomes reality”, will present a trio of exquisite delights. A Sussie Roll Croissant made with Wa-Kocha Organic tea, topped with sweet potato puree, almond and kinako; a Matcha & Black Sesame Brioche Craquelin bursting with the flavours of Matcha Yabukita Organic, and packed with raisins soaked in red bean syrup; and a Cold Brew featuring Matcha Yabukita Organic foam, white chocolate and kaya.
Mori Kohi
For those looking to “whisk away from reality, and enjoy a cup of Kohi (coffee) in the heart of Mori (the forest)”, Mori Kohi will introduce two unique drinks that are a perfect match for its setting – a Ginger Matcha Cafe Latte using Matcha Yabukita Organic mixed with espresso, house-made ginger syrup and fresh milk, and a Sayama Sencha-based Passionfruit & Thyme Cold Brew.
Nippori
Meanwhile, Nippori, a self-styled “Japanese Home Cooking Cafe”, will serve delicate Nama
Chocolate crafted with single origin Matcha Yabukita Organic powder, a harmonious blend of the sweetness of white chocolate with the bitterness and umami flavours of the green tea. This is best paired with Iced Wa-Kocha Lychee Tea, with tea that has been aged for over 3 months and blended with Lychee fruit flavours for a refreshing tropical drink. These will be availableat Nippori’s newest outpost in Publika, Sri Hartamas.
Third Mile Cafe
Finally, Third Mile Cafe, proprietor of “food that loves you back”, will let its creative juices flow as it attempts a Seared Red Snapper Ochazuke with warm mushroom salad and crispy leek served on top of rice, completed with a Sayama Sencha broth. This is accompanied by the Wa-Kocha Pear, consisting of Wa-Kocha Organic tea, homemade pear puree, honey, and Asian pear – a perfect palate cleanser.
All of these culinary creations will be available in limited quantities from 1st to 30th November 2022. Visitors to the participating cafes can also participate in a simple Scan & Win contest, where they stand to win premium Japanese tea by completing a questionnaire.
Tea enthusiasts, food lovers and those with a yen for new gastronomic and cultural
experiences will find lots to love during Japanese Tea Week 2022 campaign. Stay tuned to
the official social media channels for more information and updates

Participants at the KL Car Free Morning event painting the town red in conjunction with World Heart Month
The Walk a Million Miles event has united over 25,000 Malaysians to walk 1.5 million Miles together through September
In conjunction with World Heart Month, 25,946 Malaysians successfully achieved a total of 1,483,300 miles by walking virtually together. With the achievement of this milestone, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS fulfilled its pledge to donate RM100,000 to Yayasan Jantung Malaysia (YJM) and Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) Foundation.
NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS has been a strong advocate for heart health since 2000 and has been championing the importance of a healthy heart and the factors affecting it, including high cholesterol. Heart diseases, which affect more than 8 million or 40% of Malaysian adults, is one of the leading causes of death in Malaysia. High cholesterol is a major risk factor of this leading cause of death, especially amongst those above the age of 40[1]. However, not many are aware of their cholesterol levels due to lack of diagnosis and education on the impact of high cholesterol.
With the theme of ‘Langkah Bersama, Jantung Dijaga’, NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS partners with YJM and IJN Foundation for the third consecutive year to show its long-term commitment in educating Malaysians about heart health, the importance of an active lifestyle and to support heart patients in need.
Ritzzawati Mohd Rosli, Senior Manager at Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) Foundation, Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer of Nestlè (Malaysia) Berhad, Dato’ Dr. Aljafri, Chairman of Yayasan Jantung Malaysia
“With the Walk a Million Miles (WAMM) program we have encouraged many Malaysians to adopt a healthier lifestyle and take better care of their heart health. This year’s edition has seen the highest participation yet. And these fellow Malaysians have also walked more! We have seen an increase of 65% in the number of participants reaching at least 150k steps, we are very grateful for their enthusiastic involvement and, once again, we have been very proud to partner with IJN and YJM to support their efforts taking care of heart health patients through our cash contributions” said Juan Aranols, CEO Nestlè (Malaysia) Berhad.
“Looking at the alarming numbers of heart disease patients in Malaysia, it is crucial for us to ramp up heart health awareness among Malaysians. A lifestyle change must start with something as simple as walking regularly and consistently, and increasing distance and pace little by little, step by step. Change in Malaysia will not be seen overnight but over the past years, we have seen a positive trend and it is a very encouraging progress for the nation,” said Dato’ Dr Aljafri of YJM.

“It is heartwarming to see how Malaysians unite every September to join in the fun initiative of Walk a Million Miles and take care of their heart. I’ve seen families walking together for the cause and it is great to know that more people and of all ages feel encouraged to walk more thanks to WAMM. We thank Malaysians and NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS for making this happen,” said Toh Puan Dato’ Seri Hajjah Dr. Aishah Ong of IJN Foundation.
Aida, one of the participants who joined WAMM at KL Car Free Morning shared, “I look forward to joining WAMM every year and having my family join me, and as someone who frequents KL Car Free morning, it gives more reason for my family and I to participate and join in the fun. My spouse and I will walk while our children cycle and ride on their scooters. This is a great initiative, and it is great that I can get my family to play a part in contributing to heart patients in need.”
NESTLÉ OMEGA PLUS hopes that Walk a Million Miles will continue to kickstart the habit of walking among Malaysians and strongly encourage everyone to make a conscious effort to care for their heart in the long run. Change starts from you and every step counts to build a healthy nation.

Cotton, wool and silk are more likely to leach dye on the first few washes compared to synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon and acrylic. Wash clothes of these materials separately on the gentle cycle in cold water to be safe.
Agrobank’s President_Chief Executive Officer, Tengku Ahmad Badli Shah Raja Hussin and foodpanda Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Sayantan Das holding the signed MOU
Creating An Empowering Ecosystem To Develop And Support Partners
Kuala Lumpur, November 1, 2022 – The future is looking up for home entrepreneurs as foodpanda Malaysia, Malaysia’s leading food delivery platform, and Agrobank signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide financial aid for foodpanda vendors to start and grow their businesses through the HomeChef vertical.
With the partnership, foodpanda’s vendors and delivery partners will have the opportunity and access to Agrobank’s PEMULIH NewBiz Financing Programme, a micro financing scheme for individuals affected by the current economic challenges but aspire to start their own home-based business centered on food products.
foodpanda Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Sayantan Das and Agrobank’s President/Chief Executive Officer, Tengku Ahmad Badli Shah Raja Hussin signed the MoU at a ceremony held at foodpanda’s HQ in Bangsar South this morning.
Commenting on this initiative, Sayantan said: “As a leader in the food delivery and quick-commerce space, we believe in empowering entrepreneurship to boost the growth of local businesses. foodpanda does not function as a mere passive marketplace where vendors can connect with their customers, but we strive to nurture and support them to achieve their full potential. We are confident that with this Agrobank partnership, we can synergise our strengths and deliver great changes for aspiring entrepreneurs on our platform.”
Tengku Ahmad Badli Shah said: “We are honoured to ink this MoU with foodpanda where we will provide our financial expertise and support to its existing and potential vendors and delivery partners under their HomeChef initiative through our PEMULIH NewBiz Financing Programme.”
“The partnership will further boost our vision of leading the nation’s agricultural sector through our Shariah-compliant financing products and financial solutions to meet the needs of the agrofood communities including those carrying out upstream activities and up to downstream activities. Agrobank’s ongoing efforts through our full-chain financing programmes are in line with the National Agro-Food Policy which contributes meaningfully to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) while increasing food safety and Self-Sufficiency Levels (SSL) in Malaysia,” he further added.
HomeChef is foodpanda’s initiative to develop the growth and expansion of home-based businesses while connecting customers to unique homey dishes via the foodpanda platform.
The exclusive partnership will also see Agrobank collaborating with foodpanda Malaysia on the HomeChef programme on a nationwide roadshow which aims to guide aspiring vendors on their digitalisation journey and to raise the awareness of the programme. Roadshow stops include secondary cities and semi-urban towns in Pahang, Kelantan, Johor , Kedah, Sabah and Sarawak. Ultimately, foodpanda Malaysia aims to create an empowering ecosystem that supports and develops home-based businesses.
“We are beyond excited to be partnering with Agrobank for this programme, as it is aligned with our vision of growing local entrepreneurs in the food and beverage space. We hope to capitalise on Agrobank’s strengths and extensive presence to grow the HomeChef initiative and reach aspiring business owners all over Malaysia. Not only does this micro credit programme offer attractive rates and benefits, but it also provides a low barrier to entry for our aspiring home business owners. In combining forces, we believe that we can create an ecosystem to inspire and empower local entrepreneurship,” added Sayantan.
HomeChef vendors can enjoy access to foodpanda’s business ecosystem of partners and opportunities including local franchise brands, food health and safety training, halal training, packaging and supplies as well as marketing guidance among others. To date, there are more than 5,000 HomeChef vendors under foodpanda Malaysia.
Under the PEMULIH NewBiz Financing Programme, applicants will be given a moratorium for the first six months and charged a 3% profit rate for the seventh month with a maximum financing period of up to 60 months. The financing can be used for the purchase of fixed assets and working capital for business activities such as distribution and delivery of food through p-hailing platforms such as foodpanda. foodpanda delivery partners, too, can obtain financing to purchase motorcycles through this programme.

“This year, the 27th edition of the Carlsberg Golf Classic tournament was yet another huge success and delivered more fun on the green, making this competitive yet enjoyable tournament even better. Celebrating sportsmanship, skill and ultimately the well-deserved winners is a hole-in-one for Carlsberg and we cannot wait for the next tournament. With the ongoing support from the golfing community in Malaysia, we are game to make Carlsberg Golf Classic bigger and better in the years to come,” said Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia.
Gross champion Gwee said, “I hardly join golf tournaments, but when I do, I play to win. I’ve been playing golf since I was young and it has been 19 years for me. I certainly enjoyed myself during this tournament and plan to participate in future Carlsberg Golf Classics.”
Hisham said, “This was my first time successfully making it to the Carlsberg Golf Classic national finals. I feel really happy to have won and would like to thank Carlsberg for organising and sponsoring everything. I also look forward to playing again in the years to come.“
Stunning spectators into jaw-drops, wide eyes and an eruption of cheers was Wonder Chang hitting an incredible Hole-in-One, a first ever in the Carlsberg Golf Classic finals. The wonderful feat earned Chang not just the ultimate bragging rights but also an ‘Adidas Dress Like A Pro’ outfit set worth RM2,000. “Golf is about competing with yourself and having fun and I look forward to participating again next time. The tournament was well organised and I’m looking forward to the big Carlberg Golf Festival afterward,” said Chang.
“On top of our long-standing support of the sport and providing an avenue for amateur golfers to display their flair and skills, we are also proud to celebrate the first-edition of our Carlsberg Golf Festival which we believe elevates the entire experience for everyone who shares in the love of this annual competition,” Clini added.
