KUALA LUMPUR, 20 May 2022 – Malaysia has moved into the endemic phase of COVID-19, allowing us to celebrate Raya during Syawal with less restrictions and more face-to-face interaction. However, we still need to take precautions to keep the young, the old and the differently abled well-protected.

Clorox Malaysia in collaboration with the Social Welfare Department (JKM), is helping 24 Non-Governmental Organisations have a safer and more hygienic Hari Raya Aidilfitri and the month of Syawal celebration with the contribution of RM24,270.00 worth of disinfection essentials from the brand.

Pertubuhan Rumah Amal Cahaya

Seventeen orphanages, five old folks’ homes and two homes for the differently abled received a total of 1,800 units of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes and 300 units of Clorox Bleach 2 Litres. Both products are EPA-approved to kill 99.9% of both viruses and bacteria in 1 minute[1], including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19[2].

“We prepared a list of 24 selected Welfare Voluntary Organizations (PSK) and Welfare Institutions, namely 17 from the Selangor State JKM and 7 from the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory JKM. We welcome and appreciate the noble efforts of the management of the Clorox company in organizing this initiative which can provide hygiene benefits to the target group in heading towards the endemic phase of COVID-19,” says the Unit PRO JKM.

Clorox has been in the business of cleaning and disinfection solutions since 1913. Clorox is the #1 Bleach brand in the World[3] 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.

“Clorox would like everyone to have a safe, hygienic and joyous Hari Raya Aidilfitri and the month of Syawal celebration, especially now that we can celebrate with fewer restrictions. However, at-risk communities such as the elderly, OKU and the children still need more care. Our products are developed for disinfection and fit the need. We are glad to support these communities in collaboration with JKM,” said Monique Gonzales, Southeast Asia Marketing Manager of Clorox.

“Thanks to Clorox and JKM for this needful contribution. We expect many visitors, and the products are essential for disinfecting before and after visits to keep everyone safer,” explains Puan Rosnah Bt Mohamad Razali, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Ukhuwah Anak Yatim/Miskin Daerah Sabak Bernam.

Carlsberg presents Sabahans with special-edition packaging in appreciation of Sabah’s natural wonders and harvest festival

KOTA KINABALU, 14 May 2022 – With the gathering and celebration hiatus finally coming to an end, Carlsberg brings people together to celebrate the pride of Sabah’s heritage, traditions and natural wonders in conjunction with the exuberant Kaamatan Festival. Building on the success of Carlsberg’s Harvest packaging and promotions last year, Carlsberg Smooth Draught stepped-up its game this year with a four-day Keaamatan festival to bring to life its ‘Raikan Kebanggaan Sabah & Sarawak’ campaign, which is exclusively for its consumers in the beautiful Borneo island.

Held at the Store-y Artisan Market, Kota Kinabalu, Carlsberg Smooth Draught threw a culture-rich social fair at the venue decked with interactive game stations, iconic atap bar that served quality brews and Carlsberg infused traditional cocktails, tasty local delicacies and native dance performances to revel with locals from 12 May to 15 May 2022. The Carlsberg Smooth Draught special-edition cans were widely spotted around the venue and in the hands of celebrants engaging in the action.

“Apart from launching the beautiful six special-edition cans in recognition of Sabah & Sarawak, we invite our consumers to fully immerse in the traditions of the natives by glorifying indigenous arts and culture, as we celebrate the abundance of the Harvest Festival. It’s been two years since everyone has been able to enjoy a good night out with their families and friends. We are extremely excited that we are able to throw Sabahans a pre-Kaamatan showcase as we usher in the biggest festival of the year,” said Stefano Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia

“Thanks to the love and support of our consumers here, Carlsberg Smooth Draught has grown significantly in Sabah and Sarawak over the last five years. This has inspired us to promote the beautiful heritage and celebrate the pride of Sabah and Sarawak with bigger and better consumer promotions to reward beer lovers here with even more memorable drinking experiences” Clini elaborated.

At the event, visitors were able to move along to the traditional and modern harmonies of Kumpulan Budayawan and Bolos Ru Bulur while enjoying a delectable range of local cuisine. Those who put their skills to test took part in the Magunatip Dance Challenge and Tapai Bomb Game and walked away with exclusive Carlsberg prizes.

An artistic ‘Dinding Kebanggaan’ featuring local cultural icons and the natural wonders of Sabah & Sarawak was also constructed so that visitors were able to capture their proud heritage and favourite moments at the event.

In April, Carlsberg Smooth Draught launched six artistically designed special-edition cans and bottles to celebrate the pride of Borneo. Sporting unique icons in vibrant colours, the ‘Raikan Kebanggaan Sabah & Sarawak’ packaging showcases a masterpiece of contemporary art and beer. The creative artworks feature icons such as the Orangutan, majestic mountains and Rafflesia of Sabah and the Longhouse, Hornbill and Sape of Sarawak.

Goodday Milk Prepared More Than 1,000 Underpreivileged Families For A Meaningful Raya Celebration

Volunteers at Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign's 'Free Market' (Tapak Berkat) handing out donation goods such as clothing and groceries items for families who attended the event.

One of Malaysia’s favourite milk brands fosters the spirit of giving through Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign

Malaysia, 19 May 2022 – Despite the abrupt start to the Raya celebrations this year, many families were still determined to have a fruitful celebration with their loved ones. Goodday Milk, one of Malaysia’s favourite milk brands since 1968, has taken a different approach in its effort to give back to the community by fostering the spirit of giving to the best of their capabilities to enlighten the lives of more than 1,000 underprivileged families and helping them to complete their preparation for a meaningful Raya celebration.

Through the Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign that was held throughout the month of Ramadan in three different locations in Selangor, Johor, and Kelantan, the campaign provided a platform for everyone to be able to contribute within their capabilities and effort that will be rewarding for the underprivileged community. Standing strong in their key value of this initiative, “Sekecil usaha, Sebesar makna”, Goodday Milk believes that contributing charitable acts in any form, be it the littlest gestures such as donating goods, time or skills, can create a bigger impact on the underprivileged rather than the amount of money contributed.

“We often carry the perception that charitable acts can only be done by the wealthy or in monetary form, hence, with Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign, we wanted to break this notion and educate Malaysians that charity is not only about the rich giving to the poor, but also about ‘everyday’ people helping each other out within own capabilities. This year, we are not only giving underprivileged families a momentous Raya but also a significant Ramadan for volunteers to pour their heart and effort for the community ,” said Amy Gan, Vice President of Marketing of Etika Sdn Bhd.

“The Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign is one of the most meaningful events that we have organised so far, and it was able to touch many lives through a more intimate form of giving. As we understood that the spirit of giving is always in the heart of every Malaysian, we wanted to provide this platform that can enable anyone to give what they can to the less fortunate,” added Amy.

Goodday Milk living up to its essence of “Sekecil usaha, Sebesar makna”, as volunteers at Goodday Berkat Sepakat Campaign were able to spread festive cheer to all families and visitors who attended with all forms of charitable acts.

Goodday Milk has reached out to fellow Malaysians to volunteer their skills and expertise by setting up various kindness stations to provide free services such as hair cutting, shoe mending, tailoring, and medical check-ups for the less fortunate to prepare for an adequate Raya celebration. The Goodday Berkat Sepakat campaign has managed to pull more than 1,000 people to attend the free market called ‘Tapak Berkat’ with families and children getting new haircuts, checking on their health and having complimentary mending services for their baju melayu. On top of the ‘Free Market (Tapak Berkat)’ activities, Goodday Milk also prepared Juadah Berbuka and donated goods (clothing and groceries items) for families that attended the event to complete their Raya preparation.

With a positive turnout from the community at all three locations, the campaign was able to live up to its essence of “Sekecil usaha, Sebesar makna”, and was able to spread festive cheer for all the families involved with all forms of charitable act.

Singapore, 19 May 2022    Key business leaders and industry players from the local and international F&B scene showed up in full force at the official opening of Restaurant Asia 2022 (RA 2022) and International Coffee & Tea Asia 2022 (ICTA 2022). The three-day co-located shows at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Singapore Expo and Convention Centre are organised for participants from the F&B scene to seek new business opportunities and new markets especially in the areas of food ingredients, supply chain, operations, manpower, and innovation. 

The shows’ official opening ceremony this morning was graced with the presence of Guest-of-Honour, Mr Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Trade and Industry; and Ms Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.

RA 2022 is organised by the Restaurant Association of Singapore (RAS) in partnership with Singapore-headquartered Conference & Exhibition Management Services (CEMS), a regional company in Meeting, Incentive, Convention and Exhibition (MICE). ICTA 2022 incorporates the highly anticipated 9th edition of Café Asia and the 8th edition of Sweets & Bakes Asia and is organised by CEMS. Spanning across 5,500 sqm of gross exhibition area, the shows are designed to host both international and local exhibitors, including 115 brands and companies from more than 15 countries including Singapore. Around 8,000 international and local trade and public visitors are expected to visit the shows over three days.

RA 2022 will highlight opportunities and fast-rising market potentials in the F&B scene – Food Services Industry Transformation and Hawker Entrepreneurship. The food services sector has had to endure repeated disruptions due to the pandemic. Many took the opportunity to transform their businesses and operations. RA 2022 was conceptualised to present itself as a platform for industry leaders and players to meet, discuss, and discover new solutions to improve efficiencies in their front of house and back of house operations.

Following the recent initiative by the Singapore Government to equip aspiring and existing hawkers with the relevant skills and competencies to run their hawker businesses, the focus on Hawker Entrepreneurship at RA 2022 is timely as visitors will find that they will avail themselves to resources and networks as they take that first step into the business.

At the shows, business owners, key players from the F&B, coffee & tea, and bakery industries will also establish and welcome new collaborations, explore opportunities, learn best practices, present thought leadership forums, and present the latest trends and developments to trade professionals and members of the public. One such collaboration will be between CEMS and ER Marketing to form a Halal Pavilion in the Café Asia 2023 and RA 2023 exhibitions. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the two parties after the official opening of RA 2022 held in conjunction with ICTA 2022, incorporating the Café Asia and Sweets & Bakes Asia series. The unique cluster of these shows will offer a one-stop convenient sourcing hub for the F&B, coffee, tea, and bakery industries.

The shows also serve as a hub of knowledge and technical know-how to all visitors and conference delegates that include invaluable insights on productivity, capability development and leveraging on relevant technologies to future-proof the F&B business, fronted by prominent business leaders in the F&B, coffee, and tea industries.

The RAS Leadership Symposium is organised and positioned as the leading foodservice event for top executives at the event, presenting the latest and important topics from some of the most inspiring minds in Singapore’s F&B sector. Delegates at the Symposium will discover the latest industry trends, network with like-minded business owners and explore new business opportunities.

19 May,2022

 New data from Kaspersky shows that Malaysian children are big consumer of video content.  As of 1 March, this year, YouTube app on Android top the chart with 35.65%. WhatsApp ranked the second with 16.21%, followed by TikTok with 12.32%.

Video content remains Malaysian children favorite, as per the data shows for the top three Android apps frequently used by them, with YT Kids, a special app for children, at 6.08%.

Kaspersky reviewed anonymized data, such as search queries, the most popular Android applications, and website categories and provided voluntarily by Kaspersky Safe Kids users, to explore the most popular children’s interests between January-March 2022. This data can help parents to better understand their children’s favorite subjects and passions.

Sandra Lee, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky

“As one of the world’s most active digital citizens, it is no surprise that the Malaysian children are enthusiastic explorers of the digital world themselves. Although, having not gone back physically to school since the pandemic, I understand that the majority of these kids are relying on the Internet not just for study but also for play and entertainment, most likely because of remote learning blues. We encourage parents to stay informed and commit to sitting down with their kids extensively as it’s an effective way to keep their children responsible and safe digital citizens,” comments Sandra Lee, Managing Director, APAC at Kaspersky.

Else Where Around the World

According to Kaspersky worldwide statistics, the top five most popular applications among children traditionally include YouTube, a leader in the time spent being used by children for several years now at 31.6%. Then comes TikTok and its recommendation algorithm at 19%. Leaders also include WhatsApp (18%), the popular game Roblox (7.5%), and the Chrome browser closes the top five (7.3%). Roblox’s closest competitor, Brawl Stars, lost a little in popularity and took only 4.8%. Interestingly, YouTube Kids, is not very popular, with a share of only 2.1%.

What about interests?

If you look at the statistics of children’s requests in Kaspersky Safe Kids, the following picture emerges:

  • Anime

Among Japanese cartoons, children are most interested in Naruto and My Hero Academia. The first series chronicles the life of a noisy and restless teenage ninja Naruto Uzumaki, who dreams of achieving universal recognition and becoming ‘The Hokage’ – the head of his village and the strongest ninja. The cartoon turned out to be extremely popular among teenagers, and eventually, 220 episodes were filmed. Its sequel, Naruto: Shippuuden, tells the story of the grown-up protagonists. It ended after the 500th episode.

The second animated series, My Hero Academia, follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where superpowers have become commonplace, but who still dreams of becoming a hero.

  • Bloggers

They are opinion leaders for many children and are watched and imitated, helping many kids to learn about the world and find friends among like-minded people. Below, we highlight a few of the most popular, based on children’s search queries. It is important to note that almost all bloggers also have accounts on several popular social networks, so they can be viewed on other platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat etc.).

  • Sssniperwolf – a popular blogger who shoots entertaining content on a variety of topics. Their key focus is on humorous sketches or challenges.
  • Nikocado Avocado – calls himself the “King of the Mukbangs”. Mukbang is a style of video where the blogger eats a lot of food in front of the camera and chats with viewers. It may seem strange at first, but such sessions often discuss popular news or high-profile topics.

  • DIY – Do it yourself

A popular category of videos in which the author shows how to create a product with a step by step guide. It can be anything from a birdhouse to assembling a computer or garden furniture. These videos are very popular, as they can be used to start an interesting hobby or find like-minded people. Among the most frequent requests in the children’s category include:

  • 5-Minute Craft – a channel with a large number of subscribers (76.3 million). A compilation of videos explaining how users can create almost anything with their own hands – from fixing a tap in the kitchen to sewing clothes for dolls or ways to have fun with a science.
  • Educational

Modern social networks and platforms contain a wide variety of educational content. Therefore, it’s worth getting to know the subjects your children are interested in, so that you can better relate to them.

Among the most popular queries in the Education category:

  • Geometry Dash – a popular 2D computer game. The gameplay consists of passing a level with many obstacles to rhythmic music. In addition to the built-in levels, players can create their own and upload them for other players to complete.
  • Game related requests
    • MrBeast – popular gaming bloggers with almost 93.6 million subscribers on YouTube. He has been credited with pioneering a genre of YouTube videos that centers on expensive stunts. Now the content is mostly entertainment.
    • Minecraft – one of the most popular games among children. The essence of the game is very simple – the players are in a simple three-dimensional world and can build freely, creating complex structures from these cubes. There is a huge community of fans around this game, and many popular blogs on various platforms such as YouTube or Twitch. For instance, DanTDM, Jelly, theAtlanticCraft. For Twitch, the most popular are TommyInnit, LyonWGFClub, RanbooLive.
    • Roblox is an online multiplayer platform that allows users to play games they have created as well as games from other users. The platform features user-created games and virtual worlds, ranging from traditional racing and RPGs to simulations and obstacle courses. This game is also devoted to a large number of blogs and bloggers. Examples: Noquia2013, Ulove 11, Sasseh.
    • Brawls Stars – a multiplayer game, the purpose of which is to advance along the gaming trophy road, participate in battles with other players, as well as discovering and improving new playable characters with unique abilities and characteristics. Popular Twitch channels for this game include BrawlsStars, TheAlvaro845, Trebor.
  • Memes
  • ‘Animation memes’ are the most popular meme request among kids. They are typically short animations of a character dancing or sometimes singing along to music with the intent to be spread or repeated by other animators with their own characters. Some examples can be found here, here, or here.
  • Another example of a most searched meme is Beluga cat. Lots of people will have seen this meme at least once 😊

To ensure children have a positive online experience, Kaspersky recommends parents:

  • Learn more about your child’s interests and online habits
  • Take the time to learn more about your child’s interests and online habits. Read up on emerging trends, games, and channels to understand how they may affect your child’s online activities.
  • Teach children how to block and report when they see or experience something problematic online. This helps create good online etiquette and empowers your child to feel in control.
  • Use a reliable security solution when you are not around to shield your children from dangerous content and limit the amount of time they spend on their devices. Recently, Kaspersky launched the updated Kaspersky Safe Kids. This new version of the app provides parents with extended functionality for iOS and more options to check their kids’ online activity. In addition to taking steps to protect children from inappropriate online content, parental control apps also give parents the opportunity to get to know their kids’ interests and hobbies, helping to build closer relationships with their little ones.

Get Up, Get Moving and #DoTheLifebuoyFresh with Aaron Chia and Cik Manggis!

Lifebuoy Malaysia highlights the importance of staying active, fresh, and germ-free with their ‘Fresh’ variants

Kuala Lumpur, 11 May 2022 – Malaysia’s transition to the endemic phase allows us to return to a near-normal life after combating the pandemic for nearly two years. In our readjustment, the responsibility falls on the nation to implement the lessons learnt during the pandemic, to be health-conscious while maintaining good hygiene practices. In light of this, Lifebuoy Malaysia launched their #DoTheLifebuoyFresh campaign to remind Malaysians to keep active, fresh and germ-free.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019 found that 25% of Malaysians are physically inactive,i while previous studies have placed Malaysia as the most obese nation in Asiaii. The prolonged national lockdown has given rise to sedentary lifestyles, suggesting that physical inactivity may have increased even further among Malaysians.iii iv

Considering these staggering numbers, the world’s number one hygiene soap brandv, Lifebuoy Malaysia, aims to champion a more physically active lifestyle. Studies have shown that just 30 minutes a day for five days a week of moderate to vigorous exercise gives a good start in leading a healthy lifestyle. In a time when we’re battling an infectious virus that has robbed countless lives globally, we must take charge to play our part in ensuring a safer nation.

Exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing non-communicable diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Furthermore, recent studies have suggested that Covid patients who regularly exercised were the least likely to be hospitalized, admitted to the ICU, and die due to their illness.vi

Siti Suhaila Abd Hamid, Marketing Manager, Skin Cleansing, Unilever Malaysia, shared that “The prolonged nationwide lockdown has impacted the country’s economic progression and the people. The data has shown that the prevalence of sedentary behaviour in Malaysia is relatively high, with 1.7 million Malaysians living with all three major risk factors of non-communicable diseasesiii. Hence, Lifebuoy conceptualized this campaign to advocate for Malaysians to be active and healthy while maintaining good hygiene practices that keep you feeling refreshed.”

This campaign launch kicked off with a TikTok dance challenge featuring Aaron Chia and Cik Manggis. Aaron is leading Team Lemon Fresh, while Cik Manggis heads Team Cool Fresh. “Malaysians who want to join the challenge need to post a video of them doing the TikTok dance or work out and which team they’d like to join. The first 1,000 participants will stand a chance to redeem an e-voucher worth RM20 for their sports equipment. We hope that this friendly competition adds an exciting factor to the movement challenge, and we look forward to seeing many Malaysians partake in the campaign,” shared Siti Suhaila.

Cik Manggis, Malaysian singer, dancer and actor, explained that “Exercise doesn’t have to be a dreaded task, as it’s often perceived to be. I find that dancing is one of the best workouts as it involves upbeat and fun movements. It also involves music and rhythm, which adds to the thrill of the activity. After completing my dance routine, I opt for Lifebuoy Cool Fresh to help me feel fresh, clean, and ready to start my day. So, if you are feeling ready to take on Team Cool Fresh, join me as I have an exciting dance routine lined up!”

Aaron Chua, Malaysian National Athlete, shared that “As an athlete, I am frequently exposed to heavy sweating and crowds, especially during training and tournaments. That is why I opt for Lifebuoy Lemon Fresh, as it revives and re-energizes me instantly, allowing me to stay fresh and germ-free even with my rigorous lifestyle. Join Cik Manggis and me in this TikTok dance challenge. Not only do you get to have fun, but this could be the first step to leading a healthier lifestyle.”

“As a company, Lifebuoy Malaysia has and will always prioritize working towards the betterment of our planet and society. Unilever’s Sustainable Living Brands communicate a strong environmental or social purpose with products that contribute to achieving the company’s ambition of halving its environmental footprint and increasing its positive social impact. This campaign is another step in the right direction for us in realizing this goal,” concluded Siti Suhaila.
