Kuala Lumpur, March 25, 2022 – In the spirit of giving and sharing, Nestlé’s ‘MAGGI Gong Xi Masak, Gong Xi Meriah’ Chinese New Year campaign raised RM81,000 in support of ten elderly care homes across Malaysia.
Nestlé has reached out to senior citizens in these homes to learn and understand their needs for essential items such as food supplies, household necessities, wheelchairs, mattresses, and electrical appliances including microwave and rice cookers. Some of these homes also experienced property damages due to the massive floods in December last year and require support in upgrades and repairs of their living facilities.
According to Geetha Balakrishna, Business Executive Officer of MAGGI, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, “MAGGI is a brand made for Malaysians. As such, in the spirit of the Chinese New Year, we extended our initiative to our senior folks as a gesture of appreciation with the hope that our contributions will bring them some festive joy, reminiscent of their warm memories with their loved ones and in their younger days. We are humbled to see many Malaysians coming together through this campaign to show their support and give back to the community.
Staying true to our brand promise, You and MAGGI Cook the Difference, we have also provided various food supplies to the homes as we believe that through the goodness of homemade food, there is an opportunity to make a positive and meaningful difference for these residents in the homes and the community,” added Geetha.
The ten elderly care homes selected to receive the contributions from Nestlé’s ‘MAGGI Gong Xi Masak, Gong Xi Meriah’ Chinese New Year campaign included Rumah Charis, Pusat Jagaan Wargamas Air Tenang, Sahana Old Folks Home and Noble Care in Klang Valley; Pertubuhan Kebajikan Rumah Orang-orang Tua Islam Titian Abadi and Darul Hanan in Pulau Pinang; Pusat Jagaan Warga Emas Nur Ehsan and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Orang Kurang Upaya in Johor; Mesra Homecare Centre in Kelantan and Pusat Penjagaan Orang Tua Grannies in Pahang.
Ms Suzanne, House Manager of Rumah Charis, shares, “One of our oldest residents, 92-year-old Dorcas, who finds joy in helping the caregiver cook on a daily basis, was particularly excited in preparing the Chinese New Year dishes, made more special thanks to the food supply contributions from Nestlé! Indeed, we’re thankful and blessed that this has brought all the residents closer together during this meaningful celebration.”
For Pusat Jagaan Wargamas Air Tenang, the contributions and support from Nestlé were especially poignant this year, as they had experienced the devastating flash flood in December last year. In sharing about this experience, Puan Saroja, House Manager of Pusat Jagaan Wargamas Air Tenang said, “The flood had damaged a lot of the residents’ belongings, including furniture, mattresses, electrical items and clothes which had to be disposed. We’re thankful that individuals and organisations like Nestlé is helping us recover from the aftermath of the flood,” said Puan Saroja.
Nestlé’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in conjunction with the ‘MAGGI Gong Xi Masak, Gong Xi Meriah’ Chinese New Year campaign saw the organisation contributing RM0.10 for every contest entry it received from the public, bringing the total contributions to RM81,000.

The campaign is a collaborationwith the Malaysia Society of Allergy and Immunology (MSAI) in conjunction with World Immunity Month. The community awareness campaign comes at a crucial time in light of new viruses that continue to emerge.

The Activate Your Immunity, Stay Protectedcampaign calls for Malaysians tofirst self-assess their immunity levels with the Immunity Calculator which is backed by science and endorsed by MSAI. Malaysians can check their immunity score on www.provital.com.my/immunitycalculator.
Gonzalo Balcazar, General Manager of Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
“PROVITAL Immuna Plus is one of the most significant brand launches in Mead Johnson Nutrition’s 117-year history and we are excited to deliver this scientifically formulated product to Malaysian adults who want to live their best life. We saw a meaningful need for an awareness campaign as new viruses and germs continue to emerge, including the more common flu. We have to be constantly vigilant of our immune health. Hence, we are happy to have MSAI onboard on this journey to make Malaysians stronger. Over the last two years, we have learnt that it is very important to have strong immune health to protect ourselves. As we are currently moving towards the endemic phase, it is key for the community to improve their overall immunity level. Moreover, our immunity weakens as we age, increasing our risk to infections if we do not have a good nutritional status. Finding the time to take care of ourselves nutrition wise can be challenging for some people, and PROVITAL Immuna Plus was developed to address and support our immune system as we age,” said Gonzalo Balcazar, General Manager of Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
He added, “The campaign aims to encourage Malaysian adults to stay protected and stay on top of their health by activating their immunity. When ourimmunity declines with age, it becomes important to support and strengthen our bodies’ natural defense by consuming the right nutrients that our body needs. Our immune health and immune function depend on the presence of certain nutrients. Even a marginal deficiency in some nutrients could adversely impact the immune function. Through this campaign, we hope to reach out to Malaysians to check their immunity level and raise awareness on the importance of having good immunity.”
During the campaign, Mead Johnson Nutrition provided PROVITAL Immuna Plus samples to the public at corporate offices, markets, and PPV centers including sampling to frontliners, so they could stay protected.

Commenting on the campaign, Dr. Kent Woo, President-Elect of MSAI said, “The Immunity Calculator is a good gauge to self-assess your immunity level. This self-assessment tool is also a convenient way to find out how your immune system is doing to help the individual decide on whether to seek medical consultation or adapt their lifestyle through proper nutrition, exercise and good lifestyle habits. The lower the immunity score could indicate the higher your risk of staying protected. Through proper nutrition, exercise and good lifestyle habits the level can be improved.”
Joining the call to encourage Malaysians to activate their immunity with Provital is MSAI and award-winning entrepreneur, producer, director and actor, Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina as well as radio hosts Chan Fong and Cheryl Lee.
“I am at my happiest age as I am contented with the balance of work and leisure. You could say I take a more relaxed approach now and keep a positive mindset. My work and projects keep me active and engaged. To maintain this good balance, my health and particularly my immune health takes precedence. After consuming Provital, I could really feel the positive effects. It has good nutrients to support my immune health and coupled with my exercise routine and getting enough sleep, I know that I am protecting my health. I hope to remind all Malaysians out there that life does not stop when you are older but it only gets better with strong immunity.” said Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina, Provital Immuna Plus Immunity Ambassador.
