Messages From Inspiring Young Women Aims To Motivate Girls To Navigate Life Confidently And Pursue Higher Education Goals With Education Fund Incentive
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 23 June 2022 – Women play an important role in economic growth and contribute to the wealth of an economy to a great extent. According to statistics published in August 2020 by the Department of Statistics, Malaysian women’s participation in the labour market was 55.2%, and about 20% of the estimated registered total of more than 650,000 entrepreneurs, are women.
Given the critical role that women play in the nation’s economy, KAO Laurier Malaysia has launched its empowerment series, the ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ (Akademi Keyakinan Laurier) to elevate its existing enrichment programme for girls in secondary schools across Malaysia. KAO Laurier Malaysia is rewarding eligible ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ graduates with a total of RM72,000 in the form of National Education Savings Scheme (Simpan SSPN). The effort is in support of Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional’s (PTPTN) agenda to cultivate a culture of saving from an early age for higher education.
“KAO Laurier Malaysia advocates that a beautiful girl is informed, empowered and confident. From our long-term ESG programme in schools, we understand the needs of teenage young girls in the pursuit self-confidence. Today we are extremely excited to infuse an exciting addition to our ESG school programme with the ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ empowerment series which harnesses the experiences of inspirational young women from different walks of life into relatable life skills for teenage girls to acquire and apply as they navigate challenges and confidently fulfil their full potential in life,” said KAO (Malaysia) President, Itou Hirofumi.
The ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ empowerment series comprises five succinct video modules on five contemporary topics and features inspiring everyday young Malaysian women who have pushed themselves in pursuit of their dreams. The series is aimed at inspiring teenage girls to develop into the next generation of confident, ambitious women who will actively contribute to community and nation-building.
The topics and contributors are:
The ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ series aims to inspire and motivate over 168,000 teenage girls in secondary schools across Malaysia over the course of the next 12 months, beginning June 2022 through to June 2023. Phase One of the series will kick start in schools within the central region, with plans to extend the series to five other regions namely the southern, and northern regions, east coast as well as Sabah and Sarawak.
The ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ empowerment series is open to participants engaged during KAO Laurier Malaysia’s ESG menstrual hygiene education programme conducted virtually in over 290 schools in the central region. In addition to acquiring valuable life skills, participants will also stand a chance to be awarded with up to RM1,500 each in the form an education fund through the Simpan SSPN Prime account.
Simpan SSPN Prime is an education savings product under PTPTN that is shariah compliant and guaranteed by the Government. In a bid to promote and reward the habit of saving among parents and young depositors, account holders will enjoy competitive dividends, and free takaful coverage for savings balance of RM1,000 or more.
“PTPTN, as the leading education fund in Malaysia, welcomes KAO Malaysia’s initiative to cultivate the culture of savings among teenagers. Financial literacy especially for education savings is one of the critical aspects that need to be stressed to teenagers and also young parents amidst the rising cost of education every year. PTPTN welcomes and highly appreciates this collaboration, and we hope that more agencies will come forward and choose Simpan SSPN as an incentive in their programmes,” said PTPTN Chief Executive, Ahmad Dasuki Abdul Majid.
Reiterating KAO Laurier Malaysia’s stand on the importance of education, Itou said, “Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle and we are happy to see that the number of female students in higher education institutions continues to increase annually. Given that in some quarters, particularly amongst the B40 community, higher education is a luxury, and sharing PTPTN’s vision to encourage more Malaysians to begin saving for higher education early, KAO Laurier Malaysia is happy to be a committed educator of hygiene care in schools across Malaysia and honoured to play a small, but impactful, role in helping deserving participants of the ‘Laurier School of Confidence’ empowerment series kickstart their education savings fund.”
Through its long-term Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programme, KAO Laurier Malaysia has been a friend to young girls for the past 27 years since 1994, with efforts dedicated at supporting and educating young girls in hygiene care.

21 June 2022 – Benja chicken and CP suasage become Thailand’s first chicken meat and sausage products that won Superior Taste Award 2022 by the prestigious International Institute of Taste, an annual event in Brussels, Belgium.
Mr. Prasit Boondoungprasert, Chief Executive Officer of Charoen Pokphand Foods PLC (CPF), said that CPF has won awards for “Benja chicken”, 3 CP sausauge products and 2 Meat Zero products. The awards bring pride to all Thais involved in the innovation of safe and quality food products that offer both traceability and tastes exceptionally rated by the world’s top chefs.
“It’s not easy to invent a quality, nutritious, safe and tasty food. The awards thus bring a great pride to the Management and employees of CPF. Today, the taste of our 6 products is guaranteed by the world’s top chefs,” Mr. Prasit said.
More than 2,000 food and beverage products from across the world were enlisted for the Superior Taste Award 2022. Benja Chicken is Thailand’s first chicken brand that won an award. The innovative meat product of CPF comes from a specially-selected breed and the chicken is raised by superfood like unpolished rice and flaxseed.
The meat consequently smells favorably and is soft and 55% more juicy than normal. The pink meat is 100% free of hormones or antibiotics, as certified by NSF.
Three CP sausauge products also brought Thailand the first Superior Taste Award in sausage category – CP Crispy Chicken, CP Chicken Frank and CP Chili Chicken Frank. All CP sausages are made of high-quality meat from CPF’s closed farms. All the farms boast the contamination-free, safe, modern and high-standard production process. The meat is stored and transported in temperature-controlled condition. The robotic technology is employed in raw material management along with Radio – Frequency Identification (RFID), to offer traceability. CP sausages come with various tastes for various consumer groups. CP sausages earlier were voted the No.1 brand in Thailand by Marketeer Magazine, reflecting the products’ cleanliness, safety, hygiene and taste that has long captivated consumers.
Two plant-based “MEAT ZERO” products – nuggets and garlic patty –are the remaining award winners.
Developing a convincing meat taste, the alternative products are a result of over 2 years of research and development under the collaboration between CPF RD Center and world-class experts from various countries like the United States, Japan and Taiwan as well as food scientists from Chulalongkorn University and Mah Fa Luang University. The “PLANT-TEC” innovation was discovered and MEAT ZERO was developed as a perfect alternative meat in terms of flavor, smell and texture. Superior Taste Award 2022 guarantees its quality in terms of flavor.
Trending and sustainable health food – with favorable flavor
The International Taste Institute reports that health and sustainable food and beverages are trending and shows continuous growth. The number of alternative products like plant-based protein as well as vegetarian and gluten-free food enlisted for the certification in 2022 doubled. But taste is the most important in the evaluation methodology. Meanwhile, the Ingredion Proprietary Research shows that in 2022, taste is the priority for 53% of plant-based meat buyers, trumping other factors like nutrition values, brands and convenience. As such, it remains a great challenge for food and beverage producers to come up with health and yet delicious products.
Superior Taste Award is granted following the evaluation and certification by a jury of professional chefs and sommeliers. The products are certified for standard production process and taste. The award is granted by the International Taste Institute, headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The evaluation is conducted in cooperation with 15 European food and beverage associations. The jury is composed of more than 200 professional chefs and sommeliers. They taste more than 1,000 entries from all over the world on an annual basis and give score based on input from an array of 5 sensory experience – visual, aromatic, flavour, textural aspects, and final mouth feel. Only professional judges are involved. With their experiences and credentials, they are expected to uplift the taste of food and beverage products, eventually to strengthen the institute’s mission in filling the world with delicious and quality products.
