MO BAR’s new menu continues the nomadic journey throughout the Asia Pacific seen in the first three volumes. With a unique new presentation, the Volume Four menu is fashioned in a sphere-shaped style, taking guests to new destinations with an illustrated 3D globe that introduces the collection of cocktails. The attention to detail at every facet creates a transportive effect, with whimsical designs and components to indicate the style, strength, and country of inspiration for each drink.
Volume Three brought a line-up of virtual guest shifts, exploring the history and culture of the team’s chosen destinations such as Bangkok, Seoul and Manila and across the Asia Pacific in a pandemic world. Emerging from the new normal and into new horizons, Volume Four invites guests to legendary destinations across the Pacific Ocean, discovering untouched flavours by foot and sea.
The first several non-alcoholic drinks, designed as part of an inclusive and memorable drinking experience, are also presented with an add-on spirit available upon request.

Treat yourself to Ube from the Philippines, a soothing medley of purple yam, jackfruit and ice cream as you bolster confidence to set off on your new adventure (SGD 16 / SGD 26 with whisky).
Celebrate life for its beauty and diversity of cultures with highlights from the rest of the menu including Holi, bringing a dazzling display with gin, buttermilk and spices inspired by India’s festival of colours (SGD 24), and Afterglow, an infusion of gin, ginger and melted candy floss detailing the hues from the best sunset spots from Indonesia (SGD 27). Explore the rich hawker culture of Singapore with the smoky Satay by the Bay, blending flavours of gin, bitters and satay, borrowing hints from the Southeast Asian dish of seasoned and skewered meat dipped in peanut sauce (SGD 25). From South Korea comes the harmonious rice paper rum cocktail, Full Moon, perfectly matching the sweetness of Asian pear with hints of refreshing wheatgrass (SGD 26). As you reminisce the beautiful moments of life’s journey with loved ones, sip on Nostalgia, a decadent mix of cognac, banana and caramel inspired by local Vietnamese produce (SGD 27).
A selection of bar snacks, more extensive specialities and sandwiches accompany the cocktails. While favourites remain on the menu such as the locally-inspired Singdog comprised of charred chicken sausage, achar, sambal mayo, scallions and dry shrimp (SGD 24), Laksa with lobster, rice vermicelli and coconut broth (SGD 28) and the indulgent Gyu-Katsu Sando with breaded beef tenderloin and bulldog sauce (SGD 34), new additions include Truffle Cheese Naan with mozzarella and fragrant truffle paste (SGD 18), Tuna Tataki Somen with seaweed, radish, soya dressing and garlic chips (SGD 22), and Royal Indian Tandoori Selection with chicken, lamb, prawns fish and garlic naan (SGD 42).

The brewer wins award for the highest return-on-equity over three years for the second
consecutive year as it showcases its commitment to deliver long-term sustainable value to
shareholders
SHAH ALAM, 17 December 2021 – Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd has once again clinched the top spot of highest return-on-equity over three years within the Consumers Products & Services category at the 12th edition of the prestigious The Edge Billion Ringgit Club (BRC) Awards.
The accolade, which is the brewer’s second consecutive win, is testament to the company’s commitment to delivering long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value as it navigates through the new norm and changing business operating environment as well as improving cost efficiency.
Once again, the brewer is one of only two corporate winners within the consumer products & services sector. The brewer has reported a return on shareholders’ fund of 105.1% in 2020, 189.2% in 2019 and 122.5% in 2018.
Carlsberg Malaysia’s Managing Director Stefano Clini said: “It is no mean feat to win the award twice in a row. We are very proud to receive this award again as it shows that all our efforts to drive performance and deliver shareholder value are recognised. I must thank all our employees as well as our distributors, suppliers and trade partners for their relentless commitment. I would also like to dedicate this win to our loyal consumers for their unwavering support.”
Carlsberg Malaysia’s had a market capitalisation of RM7.11 billion as of 31 December 2020 and was one of 186 nominees in this year’s BRC assessment consisting of public-listed companies with a market capitalisation of RM1 billion and above. The 186 members command a market capitalisation of RM1.59 trillion or 90% of the combined market capitalisation of all Bursa Malaysia-listed companies as of 31 March 2021.
These corporate leaders play a key role to nation building, as they contribute an estimated RM23 billion in taxes for FY2020, constituting about 46% of the RM50 billion corporate tax collection for 2020.
In its 12th instalment this year, a total of 55 awards were presented to 43 companies. The Edge BRC awards are to honour Corporate Malaysia’s best-performing and top responsible organisations, which also aim to spur Malaysian companies to be even better, both financially and also as a corporate citizen.
No stranger to The Edge BRC Awards, this is the fourth award for the brewer. Carlsberg Malaysia has also won the Best Corporate Responsibility Award for public-listed companies under RM10 billion market capitalisation in 2019 and 2014, as it showcases its resolute commitment to its environmental and social priorities under its Together Towards ZERO sustainability ambitions and its efforts in giving back to local communities.
The brewer had also recently bagged the “Company of the Year” under the manufacturing of beverage sector for the second time at the 6th edition Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2021. The brewer’s Safer Schools campaign, which is part of its COVID-19 relief programme, was named as an exemplary project in providing meaningful intervention and solution for communities involved.
“To win the battle against COVID-19, we must ensure no one is left behind. We must win together. In addition to our CSR initiatives, we also ensured that all our employees, as well as third party vendors, have been fully vaccinated since August,” said Clini.
Demonstrating a class-leading commitment to responsible business practices and inclusive disclosure on ESG matters, Carlsberg Malaysia remains a counter of note within the FTSE Russell FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index as well as the MSCI indices in Malaysia.
This marks its third year as a constituent in the FTSE Russell FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) Index following the bi-annual review in December 2021, representing one of 80 leading Malaysian public-listed companies that demonstrate strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and performance. With the latest review, Carlsberg Malaysia will be the only brewer among the F4GBM constituents with effect on 20 December 2021.

Importance of protein consumption and a healthy lifestyle
KUALA LUMPUR, 17 DECEMBER 2021 – Given the current situation, it is very crucial to make living consciously a way of life by observing a balanced diet and exercise in an effort to have a healthy body and mind. There is a need to look at ways to cope with the current situation and be more vigilant in how we live our lives. Hence, Amway Malaysia has embarked on empowering Malaysians to make balanced lifestyle a priority through a webinar.
“It is pertinent to look after ourselves in an effort to maintain good health while we are coping with the situation. As we are constantly faced with the emergence of new variants, we should place great emphasis on observing our health by monitoring our diet and practising an active lifestyle,” commented Dr. Sareena Hanim Hamzah, Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director for research at Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Universiti Malaya.
“While practising a well-balanced lifestyle, we should consistently observe our diet habits to provide sufficient energy and nutrients for the body and avoid overeating. In order to remain active, it is also advisable to do at least 150 – 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week for substantial health benefits. This also helps pump up endorphins and reduce stress. Hence, we can maintain a balanced lifestyle,” she added.
“Healthy diet is also important in supporting our immune system. A good healthy diet with rich nutrition can reduce the likelihood of developing other health issues, such as obesity, heart disease or diabetes,” added Indra Balaratnam, a dietitian.
Many people are pursuing a healthier lifestyle by adding protein to their diet. There are various sources of protein such as the natural consumption of protein food, protein supplements and meal replacements. Protein has been associated with muscle gain, muscle recovery or weight loss.
“Protein is a macronutrient to our body and is broken down into amino acids. It is important for growth, maintenance of body tissues, metabolic regulation which helps in maintaining a healthy weight, curbing hunger and speeding muscle recovery. You can find the natural protein goodness from meat, fish, egg, tofu, beans and dairy products,” said Indra Balaratnam.
Indra further explained that protein also plays a role in increasing neurotransmitters that communicate with our brain to make us feel awake and alert. Hence, she explains that including protein-rich choices as part of our healthy, balanced breakfast can help us feel energized and more satisfyingly nourished.
While on the subject of starting the day right, Amway Malaysia recently conducted a social media poll asking Malaysians about their favourite breakfast beverages. It garnered responses from 1000 respondents. According to the poll result, Malaysians prefer coffee, tea and protein shakes as their morning beverages.
“Coffee and tea are always on the list as these beverages have been part of our diet but many are not aware of the nutritional value. However, it is very interesting to see Malaysians consuming protein shakes for morning beverages in an effort to pursue a healthier lifestyle,” added Indra.
“You should have a healthy and balanced diet plan by including protein in every meal besides carbohydrate and other nutrients. Protein shakes can work as a complement to other dietary elements. Constant exercise coupled with healthy consumption habits can lead to a balanced lifestyle,” concluded Dr Sareena.
The guests deliberated on the importance of a balanced lifestyle while coping with the current situation, the benefits of protein consumption and Malaysians’ favourite beverage. This was through a webinar titled, “Start Your Day Right With A Nutritious Drink” which was conducted by Amway Malaysia. The session was moderated by Che Puan Sarimah Ibrahim, an Irish Malaysian TV host and award-winning emcee. The panelists were Indra Balaratnam, a consultant dietitian and Dr Sareena Hanim Hamzah, a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director for research at Centre for Sport and Exercise Sciences, Universiti Malaya.
As part of the campaign to empower the general public on the importance of a balanced lifestyle and protein intake for overall health, Amway Malaysia collaborated with healthcare experts and dietitians. The webinar session is available for the public and can be accessed on Amway Malaysia’s Facebook page. For more information, please visit https://www.amway.my/.
