The Moccona Café Style range of latte, cappuccino and white espresso promises convenience and quality
December 01, 2021 – Some coffee drinkers work into their daily routines pit-stops at their favourite cafés, but not everyone wants to leave the house whenever a perk-me-up is needed. Whether it is starting the day languorously or grabbing a quick espresso in between chores, convenience has its merits among the regularly caffeinated.
Moccona brings moments of absolute indulgence into the home with a range of Moccona Café Style coffees that promise the high-quality brews of your favourite barista with the convenience of modern manufacturing. You can trust the brand with this lofty goal – after all, delivering pleasure in a cup is something it has been doing since its founding in 1753 in the quaint village of Joure in the Netherlands.
In the centuries since, Moccona has only gotten better at the coffee game with generations of experts spending their days perfecting its range of recipes. Moccona Café Style coffee is testament to that dedication, featuring ideas and ingredients from across continents brought together to create the perfect cuppa. Real coffee beans are carefully sourced from the best coffee regions in the world and paired with quality and creamy milk imported from New Zealand.
The Latte, Cappuccino and White Espresso varieties are all made with wholesome ingredients. That milky froth and full-bodied coffee cannot be fabricated with artificial flavours or creamers. Each sip is rich and round, and could transport you to a familiar coffee hangout or hideaway – all without setting foot outside your kitchen.
Connoisseurs tend to stick to their preferred coffee style or, like a playlist for every mood, have a go-to style for certain times of the day or activities. The novice who does not yet know how to navigate coffee menus will find the task is made easy with Moccona Café Style coffee as each flavour has a number that indicates coffee roasting intensity. The higher the number, the higher the roasting degree, spanning light to dark.
This range comprises the smooth and creamy White Espresso (roasting intensity of 5), smooth and milky Latte (6) and rich and creamy Cappuccino (7). Each variety is crowned with a thick velvety froth that releases that unmistakable aroma of roasted coffee, which winds its way into every crevice and corner in a contained space. When immersed in this multi-sensorial experience, even the weariest consumers will find themselves feeling uplifted and rejuvenated.
That is precisely the effect quality coffee has on those who regularly worship at the temple of java. It is a moment of bliss or restoration, picking you up when you’re down or lifting you higher when you need a boost. But not all coffee experiences have to be purposeful. Some drink it for the enjoyment of the taste or soothing creaminess, savouring the flavours and textures as they unfold slowly.
And now you can have it all in the comfort of your home with the Moccona Café Style coffee range, whether it is taking a minute of me-time to refuel for the day or entertaining loved ones. Constantly percolating in the headquarters of Moccona are ways to make everyday occasions that much more enjoyable as the brand strives to create and inspire moments of pleasure. It definitely succeeded here. Café-style coffee may be a treat, but the real luxury is the joy it brings you.

Kaspersky shares reminders for enterprises, employees to keep their data safe amidst work-from-home
6 December 2021
A report published last August shown that 69% of Malaysia workforces have indicated their preference to continue working from home, highest in the region, ahead of Singapore, China and Hong Kong.
Having more employees working from home opened up new vulnerabilities that cybercriminals were quick to target. The volume of corporate traffic grew as well as more users moved to using third party services to exchange data and work through potentially insecure Wi-Fi networks.
One of the most popular application-level protocols for accessing Windows workstations or servers is Microsoft’s proprietary protocol – remote desktop protocols (RDP).
RDP empowers Malaysians to continue working remotely. However, this working method has a potential for cyber attempts one of which is a brute force attack that targets the protocols employees use to remotely access company resources. A brute force is an attempt to test all different usernames and passwords until the correct combination is found, and they gain access to company resources.
In Malaysia, the total RDP attacks detected in the first six months of 2021 grew by 53.6% compared to the same period last year. Between January to June 2021, Kaspersky recorded a total of 10.4 million attacks attempts against Kaspersky users in the country with Microsoft RDP installed on their desktops. This is a significant spike compared to 6.78 million in the first half of 2020.
Globally, Kaspersky has detected 377.5 million brute force attacks against RDP.
“Under normal circumstances, moving an entire workforce from a secure IT enterprise environment to a home network with adequate cybersecurity measures requires long-term planning and preparation. The pandemic rob us of this opportunity and our latest RDP attack statistics show that cybercriminals are exploiting this loophole,” comments Chris Connell, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky.
Kaspersky researchers also discovered attacks on other remote access protocols, other than RDP, such as virtual network computing (VNC), which also used for remote access. Companies are advised to closely monitor programs in use and update them on all corporate devices in a timely manner.

“This health crisis has clearly expedited digital transformation and the merging of our professional and personal life. Employees are now actively leading the way in accepting changes in pursuit of greater freedom and flexibility, using technology to own a new future. Companies must now adapt and restructure the modern workplace to make it more productive, sustainable, and most importantly, secure,” adds Connell.
To avoid potential cyber threats in the trend of remote work systems, Kaspersky provides recommendations for companies to:
For employees who are still working remotely, some of the following simple steps can be done in order to stay safe:

Petaling Jaya, 6 December 2021 – Grab Malaysia is introducing the Grab Travel Pass to provide Malaysians with greater convenience and savings on their travel essentials. This is part of Grab’s continuous efforts to support the nation’s economic recovery, especially as travel restrictions ease in the country and Malaysians begin to plan for their year end holidays.
The Malaysian tourism industry has been hit significantly due to the pandemic with a 71% decline in 2020. This has severely impacted the 3.5 million Malaysians employed in the tourism industry which also contributes to over 23% of the Malaysia’s employment rate.
Commenting on the initiative by Grab, Minister Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) shared that the effort is in line with the Ministry’s target to reinvigorate the nation’s economy through the tourism sector.
“We are encouraged by the initiative from Grab which supports our Tourism Recovery Plan, aimed at revitalising the domestic tourism industry. With the wide range of deals from Grab, we hope Malaysians will be attracted to explore other parts of the country and help to revive domestic travels. This will help those who depend on Malaysia’s tourism industry for a living to get back on their feet. It is through initiatives and collaborations such as this that bring us closer to ensuring Malaysia recovers from the difficulties we have faced,” shared Dato’ Sri Hajah Nancy Shukri, Minister of Tourism, Arts And Culture (MOTAC).
“At Grab, our core vision is to come up with new ways to serve the ever-evolving needs of Malaysians. We are excited to work with like-minded partners to enhance the way Malaysians go about planning their travels – giving them a single source to conveniently gain access to deals on a variety of travel essentials. With the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts And Culture (MOTAC), we hope this will contribute to the revitalisation of the local tourism industry. We look forward to more collaborations that enhance the convenience available to Malaysians,” said Rashid Shukor, Director, Country Operations, Grab Malaysia

Subway has launched Tri-Pepper Chicken Sub in Singapore that offers a pepper hit with the perfect blend of pink, green and black peppercorns infused in a succulent chicken patty.
Subway has also launched meat-free chicken schnitzel made by Nestle’s meat-free brand Harvest Gourmet. Subway’s first-ever Plant-Based Chicken Schnitzel and returning favourite Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie are also available at all Subway restaurants.
The meat-free subway is currently a limited time offer (LTO). Most of the quick service restaurant’s meat-free offerings are LTOs and have yet to become a permanent part of their menu.
The Coca-Cola Company has finally made available Lemon-Dou, an alcoholic chu-hi drink, in the Philippines. The soft drink giant previously launched Lemon-Dou first in Japan, followed by China. Lemon-Dou is made from crushed whole lemons, infused in alcohol and mixed with bubbles.
Lemon-Dou comes in three variants Devil Lemon (9% ABV), Signature Lemon (5% ABV) and Honey Lemon (3% ABV), each with different alcoholic content.
Apart from the standard alcohol-free beer in plain flavour, there is currently a lack of alcoholic drinks with a lower alcohol content in the Philippines. Honey Lemon offers consumers with a lower ABV version that fits the current consumption trend for mindful drinking.
KFC Malaysia has launched Ayam Pedas Nyonya or Nyonya Spicy Chicken to celebrate Malaysia’s Peranakan culture. This limited edition menu features a quintessential Nyonya ingredient such as bunga kantan, lemongrass, shallots and kaffir lime as well as KFC’s signature Hot & Spicy chicken.
Starting from RM15.99, the new meal is available in three options — as a two-piece combo, three-piece combo or box meal.
Nyonya food is quite popular in Malaysia. As a flavour in QSR in Malaysia, we believe it can be explored further. In 2019, McDonald’s launched its Portuguese Chicken Burger and described it as “dipped in spicy and flavourful Portuguese Sauce! Spicy and savoury, with a hint of Nyonya-inspired flavour.”
In Singapore, KFC rolled out its very own Spicy Nyonya Chicken in 2020 where the sauce is made from spicy chilies, dried shrimps, curry spices, and laksa leaves, with a hint of sweet coconut.
