  • Domino’s has the best pizzas in town when it comes to all things cheesy! With up to half a kilogram of cheese on your pizza and support for local artists at every turn – you simply can’t go wrong.
  • Douglas Lim entertains Malaysians with cheesy wit and humour while showing us how much better life is with some good old-fashioned cheese on pizza!

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 March 2022 – Malaysians are in luck because Domino’s Pizza has heard them loud and clear, delivering on the brand promise of “It’s All About You” by giving cheese lovers a mega cheesy experience with up to ½ kilogram of cheese on their new Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza.

Linda Hassan, Group Chief Marketing Officer at Domino’s Pizza Malaysia, Singapore and Cambodia, said, “At Domino’s, we want Malaysians to know and feel that “It’s All About You”. That’s why we pay attention to what our customers have to say, and we go above and beyond to meet their love for cheesy goodness. In this case, it is all about giving cheese lovers pure satisfaction when they bite into a slice of pizza and watch stringy cheese being pulled away from their mouths. That excitement is what we want Malaysians to hold as a cherished mouth-watering cheesy experience.”

“We believe our Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza is one of Malaysia’s most extraordinary pizzas. It has an extra-large helping of cheese which we know you’ll love! The Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza comes in three different sizes – 6”, 9” and 12”, and also features three different customisable base sauces, which is only available for a limited time,” she added.

The Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza comes with a selection of three base sauces— Top Secret, Signature and Cheese sauce. The pizza packs a punch for its cheesylicious flavour and nothing can get cheesier than this as it contains up to ½ kilogram of cheese (3x more than usual!).

At the recent introduction of the new Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza on the Cheesiest show ever, Douglas Lim took to the virtual stage to entertain audiences in the cheesiest way possible and showcased the mouth watering amount of stretchy cheese on the new Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza.

Kicking off the event with a comical yet cheesy skit, Douglas cracked hilariously cheesy jokes and got steamy with audiences as he challenged them to come up with the cheesiest pick-up lines which were then read out and rebutted in true comedic style.

Among the cheesiest pick-up lines sent in from the audiences included “Hey there, do you believe in love at first bite? Or should I add more cheese?” sent in by Sue YaLee. Some of the more creative pick-up lines of the day were “Are you a pizza? Because every slice of you is perfect” sent in by Fathin and “Know what’s on the menu? Me n U”, by Anis. For showing off their creativity and wit by coming up with some of the cheesiest pick-up lines, Domino’s surprised ten lucky people who brought the cheese and entertained Malaysians to a Mega Cheese Combo feast.

Douglas Lim himself was left in stitches with extremely cheesy lines coming in hot and fast from the audiences. He also dished out cheesy pick-up lines like “If you were a pizza and I were cheese, I’d melt all over you like the new Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza.” and “Do you like raisins? How do you feel about a date? Because I think we would be Gouda together,”

Missed out on the cheesiest comedy show in Malaysia to date? You can catch all the cheesy action on Domino’s Pizza Malaysia’s Facebook page. Enjoy the show with a belly full of the new Domino’s Mega Cheese Pizza which is currently available in all Domino’s outlets nationwide, giving cheese lovers a reason to celebrate their love for cheese.

Shopee introduces 3.15 Consumer Day, the first mega sale of the year

#ShopeeCelebratesYou this 3.15 Consumer Day, giving shoppers more reasons to celebrate with Dato Pandelela Rinong and Datuk Abdul Latif Romly

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 March 2022 – Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, launches 3.15 Consumer Day, the first mega sale of the year. 3.15 Consumer Day is happening now till 15 March and will bring the excitement of Shopee’s year-end festivals to all users, giving them more reasons to celebrate and reward themselves as they gear up for the year ahead.

Shopee is pioneering 3.15 Consumer Day to bring more value and joy to all shoppers, who are now using e-commerce to fulfil their needs all year round. Everyone can be a part of 3.15 Consumer Day which features the widest variety of products, made better with 95% off deals, free shipping with no minimum spend and the chance to Spin & Win a Nissan Almera.

Adding to the 3.15 celebrations, Shopee welcomes Dato Pandelela Rinong and Datuk Abdul Latif Romly as its 3.15 brand ambassadors in Malaysia. Both athletes have an incredible track record of overcoming tough odds and dedicating their lives towards putting Malaysia on the world map, serving as an inspiration in the way they accomplish great things by prioritising well-being and celebrating achievements no matter how small. Dato Pandelela has won two Olympic medals and five World Championships medals while Datuk Latif has won two gold medals in the Paralympic Games. He holds the world record for Long Jump T20 until now.

Kenneth Soh, Head Of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia said, “This Shopee 3.15 Consumer Day, we want to celebrate you. Be kind to yourself. Go at your own pace, celebrate the small wins and reward yourself. To better serve our consumers, we first have to understand what Malaysians have been buying since 2019.”

“At Shopee, we always put consumers at the heart of what we do, so we consistently innovate new initiatives and campaigns such as the 3.15 Consumer Day to better fulfil their needs” he added.

Understanding Malaysian shopping trends

As more people are accustomed to staying at home, Shopee noticed that many are looking to improve and prioritise themselves in terms of health, well-being and to destress. As such, there was 6 times increase in demand for Self-Care Products on the platform in 2021, compared to 2019, before the pandemic.

Physical wellness, environmental self-care, and social well-being were seen to be the top three self-care trends, as Shopee witnessed an impressive 10 times growth of demand related to better home and living.

As Malaysians paid more attention to their physical wellness, Shopee noted that 42% of self-care items sold last year pertained to personal grooming, supplements, exercise equipment, cooking and baking supplies, sleepwear, and bath and spa.

Due to Malaysians spending more time home with families, Shopee observed a 12 times uplift for snacks and 13 times increase in cooking and baking supplies in 2021 as compared to 2019.

Malaysians were also more and more into environmental self-care, to create a healthier living environment at home. They started new DIY projects, put some new wallpapers on, and grew indoor plants among other activities. This is mirrored by the 12 times increase in demand for home improvement items over 2 years.

Looking at social well-being, more Malaysians are open to the idea of having a furry companion at home as the demand for pet supplies grew 13 times in the space of two years from 2019 to 2021, as owners treat their pets with grooming, homes, pet food and treats and even fashion and accessories.

Taking a deeper dive into keyword searches data in self-care trends, Shopee noted that ‘keropok’ was searched nearly 7 times more in 2020 and over 25 times more in 2021, both as compared to 2019.

‘Kids books’ has also been one of the more popular keyword searches with over 11 times increase in 2020 compared to 2019, as moms and dads turned to Shopee to inculcate reading at a young age.

Additionally, since the launch of ShopeeFood in September 2021, the ‘bubble tea’ keyword search grew by more than 7 times by December last year, signalling a growing trend among Malaysians to reward themselves with some sweet treats through food delivery.

As part of the Shopee 3.15 Consumer Day, Shopee will also launch its #ShopeeCelebratesYou activation to bring more cheer to users across the 3.15 period.

Happening daily on Shopee Live from today till 15 March, users also get to play a game that will keep them on the edge of their seats, called Sampul Misteri. Lucky Callers will be required to answer a Question of the Day to unlock an envelope and stand a chance to walk away with grand cash prizes. Viewers can guess which envelope contains the grand cash prize before the show and stand a chance to win Shopee Coins with the correct guess.

Tune in to TV3 or Shopee Live at 9pm on 15 March to get your hands on the best TV deals in town, while enjoying some mesmerising local celeb performances, plus a little Korean flavour too on the Shopee TV Deals program for 3.15 Consumer Day.

Malaysians Can Now Enjoy Their Milk Tea And Favourite Local Teh Tarik On-The-Go With Lipton’s New Milk Tea Range

Lipton brings a local classic for consumers in a convenient, to-go format

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 MARCH 2022 – Lipton, one of the world’s leading tea brands has launched their new milk tea range, Lipton’s very own blend on the local favourite drinks. Continuing to expand their current offerings for consumers in Malaysia, Lipton Malaysia decided to launch two variants under this range – Lipton Teh Tarik and Lipton Milk Tea. With the increasing interest of milk tea drinks in Malaysia, these new additions are sure to captivate consumers’ taste buds and satisfy their milk tea cravings.

Leveraging on the on-going market trend for bottled and canned tea products and responding to customer preferences, Lipton is not only expanding its product portfolio beyond Black Tea and Green Tea segment but also bringing delicious milk tea with a blend of imported Lipton tea leaves for Malaysians, that has lower contents of fat and sugar. Lipton is looking into being the landscape creator by being the only tea brand offering Teh Tarik and Milk Tea variants in a convenient can format as opposed to key competitors’ offering in bottle format.

“We at Lipton has always strived to give our consumers products that are innovative and delicious. During the pandemic, we noted that we were missing an important aspect of our Malaysian culture – Mamak Teh Tarik sessions. With this in mind, Lipton has introduced our very own Lipton Teh Tarik and it is with great excitement that we are bringing the local flavour in a to-go format while adding the Lipton Milk Tea to our product portfolio. Both flavours have less than 5g sugar level with low fat content which gives our consumers a drink they can enjoy with less guilt. We will continue to take our consumers taste preferences into consideration and give our consumers a drink that they can enjoy,” said Yee Pek Kuan, Vice President of Marketing at Etika Sdn Bhd.

Bringing tea lovers a delicious blend, Lipton’s latest milk tea range, will be made available in two exciting variants, namely Lipton Teh Tarik and Lipton Milk Tea.

Recognising an important aspect of Malaysian culture, Lipton decided to bring the local mamak teh tarik to the consumer’s home with their brand-new Lipton Teh Tarik variant, which will be available in 240ml cans on the shelves of your favourite grocer. With the Lipton Teh Tarik, Malaysians can now enjoy their Mamak Teh Tarik on-the-go.

For the modern tea lover, Lipton has also introduced a brand-new Lipton Milk Tea variant with Brown Sugar flavour. Ensuring that their products are better for consumers, the Lipton Milk Tea replaces white sugar with brown sugar, giving the milk tea a deeper flavour, still tapping into the Brown Sugar trend in Malaysia. Both Lipton Teh Tarik and Lipton Milk Tea have less than 5g sugar level. Lipton Milk Tea comes with low fat content, whereas Lipton Teh Tarik doesn’t have any artificial sweetener and preservatives, which are perfect to sip on during a tea break. Consumers can now enjoy their Teh Tarik or Milk Tea pleasure with less guilt!

Cannot wait to get your hands on the new Lipton Teh Tarik or Milk Tea? Both products are available in 240ml cans nationwide across major convenience stores, petrol stations as well as provision stores.

If you want to give Lipton Milk Tea range a try, free samplings will be offered at selected convenience stores and petrol outlets. If you are using public transport to commute daily, keep an eye out, as Lipton will also be offering free samplings at selected MRT/LRT locations.

Disinfect Surfaces Like A Professional with Clorox

Start Clean to Stay Safe and Hygienic

Kuala Lumpur, 03 March, 2022 –  The Covid-19 pandemic has made all of us hyper-aware of viruses and germs. The fourth wave of the pandemic is happening globally, fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant. In Malaysia, the Omicron variant is now dominant[1].

How can we keep ourselves and our loved ones safe from viruses and germs while reclaiming our home, work or study space, as a clean zone?

First, know what you’re dealing with. Covid-19 is a respiratory virus that can spread via droplets, when someone who has the virus coughs, sneezes or touches their face and then touches a surface[2]. Use a disinfectant and make sure you always follow the product label’s instructions for proper usage and contact time[3].

Introducing the Clorox Expert Disinfecting range that helps you disinfect your home, workplace, school or university like a professional. Developed with components used in Clorox’ professional lines that are intended for hospitals and medical services, it is EPA-approved to kills 99.9% of both viruses and bacteria in 1 minute[4], including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19[5]. It works professionally and thoroughly, making it a good choice to keep your space safe from germs and viruses including the COVID-19 virus*.

Clorox has been in the business of cleaning and disinfection solutions since 1913. Clorox is the #1 Bleach brand in the World[6] and has been trusted for generations to kill 99.9% of germs. Its claims are backed by data and its products have been tried and tested even before the pandemic by professionals and home users.

“The Omicron variant is highly transmissible making it vital to disinfect hard surfaces, more often[7].  Aim to disinfect frequently touched surfaces like keys, door knobs and handles, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, keys, the interior of your vehicle and even parcels and deliveries[8]. It is better to be extra vigilant to stay safe,” said Paulo Lao, Sales and Marketing Director for Clorox Southeast Asia. “The transmissibility of the Omicron variant means that we can be the ones who bring the virus into our homes and pass it to our loved ones.  It is important to disinfect the items we come in contact with for safety, hygiene and peace-of-mind.”

Clorox would like to share some tips on how you can reclaim your space and protect yourself and your loved ones in the face of rising Omicron cases.

Work, School and College Space Safety

Collaboration is a large part of in-office and in-person school or college sessions. While we aim to maintain social distancing, we might come in contact with items that have been touched by others. It is okay to be a ‘clean freak’ by disinfecting your work or study area when you arrive and again after lunch.

 Create a Prevention Pack

Keep illness prevention items (such as face masks, face shields, hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray) in a centralised spot in your home, the centre console of your car, at your work or study station, or inside your purse/backpack for when you’re on the go.

Disinfect all your devices and ‘carry-ons’ daily

Your carry-ons such as your handbag, backpack, laptop, and mobile phone may come in contact with droplets – from yourself or from those around you. Always give these items a good wipe down. Be sure to bring along the Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes flowpack when you are out and about to ensure that your personal items are safe and not inadvertently spreading the virus.

Disinfect your vehicle

We spend so much time in our vehicles, often with our masks off. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes within reach, to wipe down and disinfect hard surfaces in your vehicles. Remember to wipe the air conditioner vents and the door handles both inside and out.

Spray the germs away 

Before bringing groceries or parcels into your home, spray them down. Keep Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray at the entryway to quickly disinfect items to keep you safe from viruses and bacteria.

Disinfect high-touch hot spot surfaces in your homes

Handrails, light switches, handles and doorknobs are all notoriously germy, as are high-touch items like phones, computer keyboards and TV remotes. We recommend Clorox Disinfecting Wipes for in home usage as they kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria including the Covid-19 virus in just 15 seconds[9]. Give them a good once-over daily.

Don’t let your guard down. Following these simple tips can help us stay safe and healthy, better able to cope with the challenges posed by the Omicron variant.

The Clorox Expert range includes Clorox Expert Disinfecting Wipes Flowpack of 15s and 30s and Clorox Expert Disinfecting Spray. Clorox products are available nationwide at leading retailers and online retail partners, LazMall and Shopee Supermarket.
