Coway Malaysia Geared to Vaccinate Nearly 10,000 Staff

Coway staff who received their vaccination at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC)

The company is all in to help expedite the government’s vaccination efforts

Kuala Lumpur, 28 July 2021: Coway Malaysia has taken the initiative to speed up vaccination efforts for its staff to ensure their health and safety.

The company which prides itself in being The Best Life Solution Company is participating in the Public-Private Partnership COVID-19 Industry Immunisation Programme (PIKAS) to safeguard the well-being of over 22,000 Coway professionals nationwide.

Under PIKAS, Coway Malaysia aims to vaccinate nearly 10,000 members of the Coway family that have yet to be vaccinated under the conventional National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK). They include Coway Ladies (Codys), Service Technicians, Coway Technicians, Health Planners, Homecare Technicians as well as staff at its headquarters. To facilitate these vaccination efforts, Coway has allocated a budget of about RM1.1million for this special medical initiative by the company.

“We prioritise the safety and protection of our ‘Cowayians’ as they are the backbone of our organisation — and we are happy to take any steps necessary to make sure that they are all properly vaccinated,” said Kyle Choi, Managing Director of Coway Malaysia.

“As an organisation that believes in the importance of a Healthier Environment for a Happy Nation, we are proud to be a part of this public-private partnership for the community’s overall well-being, and supporting the government’s goal of achieving herd immunity as soon as possible,” he added.

Launched on 16 June 2021, PIKAS is a public-private collaboration aimed at accelerating vaccination among the Malaysian workforce and expediting herd immunity for the community at large. Company participation in PIKAS is entirely voluntary.

Coway Malaysia has already begun its PIKAS efforts in the Klang Valley, with approximately 2,400 Coway professionals receiving their vaccines at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) from 23 to 25 July 2021. Additionally, there were 15 Coway staff who also served as volunteers at MITEC to help ease the vaccination process at the centre.

The company will continue facilitating the immunisation of their staff in other states with all the first doses expected to be completed in July.

“By speeding up vaccination of our ‘Cowayians’, we are also looking out for the well-being of our customers. Many of our Coway professionals are unsung ‘frontliners’, especially those going into homes to service Coway products. With this immunisation effort, Coway customers can be assured of their own safety as well,” added Choi.

OXWHITE SURVEY REVEALS OVER 80% OF PARENTS ENCOURAGED KIDS TO PICK THEIR OWN OUTFITS

Launches #Ox-traordinary Kids Campaign to foster creativity among kids

29 July 2021, Kuala Lumpur – 8 out of 10 parents encouraged their kids to pick their own outfits as a way of developing their creativity, revealed an Oxwhite study.

Based on a survey conducted recently on social media with over 600 mums and dads as respondents, more than 44% of parents encouraged their kids to pick their own outfit at ages 4-6 years old. This was followed by 1-3 years old (23%), 7-9 years old (20%), 10-12 years old (10%), and 13 years old and above (3%).

The findings demonstrated that when it comes to creativity, Malaysian parents hope their kids will start to develop creativity and curiosity at an early age. Hence, the brand launched #Ox-traordinary kids campaign, aimed at highlighting the importance of kids’ creative development and providing tips to cultivate creativity among kids.

“Creativity is using imagination to create. Letting kids pick their own outfits is one of the ways to develop their problem-solving skills and explore their world curiously. It can train their critical thinking skills and the ability to self-regulate”, said Reena Clare, an Art Psychotherapist from The Mind Faculty. She added that parents can introduce creativity at infancy through to any stage of the kids’ development well into adulthood and old age.

The study also found that 40% of kids usually spent 1-3 hours online per day based on the observation of their parents. It was also revealed that 23% of kids observed  4-5 hours screen time, 20% were less than 1 hour, and 17% were 6 hours and above.

Given the current pandemic, the lifestyle e-commerce brand believes parents will continue to play a vital role as kids are spending more time at home, going online for learning, playing and growing.

“Attributed to the pandemic, kids are adapting to the current norm and are more tech savvy. We also observed that half the number of respondents agreed on the need for their kids to have a good balance between online and offline activities.” said CK Changr, Founder of Oxwhite.

“In order to develop a creative and curious kid, now is the real time for us to look into kids’ creative development. Parents can get their kids involved in various activities such as salt dough sculptures, chalk drawing on the pavement, building toys, and at times, allowing them to lead the experience,” said Reena.

As part of the campaign, “We will also introduce Letting Kids be Kids, a parenting e-book for both parents and kids, including interactive activities such as Find the Right One, Connect The Colours, and How Many Can You Count? We believe through this engagement, it will further strengthen the bond between parents and kids, while helping kids develop creativity and curiosity,” said CK Changr. The e-book is available on Oxwhite website and parents can access it for free by downloading it.

“We hope to assist our parents in easing their challenge in nurturing their kids’ growth and personal development. We believe there is no better time to cater to both parents and kids in an effort to cultivate and develop creativity,” said CK Changr.

In conjunction with the campaign, Oxwhite will be partnering with The Mind Faculty, to host  an Instagram Live session on Oxwhite’s official Instagram account, 7th August 2021 at 1pm. The session to be presided by Rachel Tan, Head of Business, Oxwhite and Reena Claire, Children Psychotherapist, The Mind Faculty, will feature views on the topic of “Would you let your kids be kids?”. The interactive session is aimed at highlighting the need to develop kids’ creativity. Parents are invited to join and share their parenting challenges.

As part of the campaign, Oxwhite also introduced a new kids collection, themed “100% Kids Basic” with maximum comfort and no labels. This range will be available on its official website and marketplace stores on both Shopee and Lazada.

From now until 8th August,  Oxwhite customers can look forward to receiving surprises in the form of vouchers from BookXcess worth a total of RM5,000 and mattresses and foam pillows from Emma Mattress valued at a total of RM 5,378. To know more about #Ox-traordinary Kids Campaign, please visit www.oxwhite.com.

Filling the gaps: The story of APAC’s cyber capacity building

By Genie Sugene Gan, Head of Public Affairs & Government Relations for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky

The recent cyberattack incidents involving the largest pipeline system for refined oil products and one of the world’s biggest meat producers in the United States serve as yet another reminder that countries will continue to deal with cyberattacks. And the number is growing. Globally, the percentage of attacked industrial control systems in the second half (H2) of 2020 was 33.4 percent — an increase of .85 percentage points compared with the first half of the year.

Genie Sugene Gan, Head of Public Affairs & Government Relations for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky

For cybercriminals, countries in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region have not fallen off the radar. If anything, cyber gangs are stepping up their campaigns in a region, which continues to attract more and more investments in supply chains and logistics.

Unfortunately, not all countries have the capacity to tackle cyber threats adequately. Laying the foundation for an organization’s cyber-resiliency starts with having a cyber-capacity-building program in place and cultivating a culture of cooperation among all stakeholders.

Stages of Cyber-Resiliency

Cybersecurity education and capacity-building begins with a recognition of the vast diversity that exists in the region.

Looking at APAC, we can categorize countries into three groups, according to the stages that they are at in dealing with cyberattacks:

  • Advanced: Leaders in the cybersecurity field that have a clear strategy in place and are already doing more in terms of development
  • Intermediate: Those that have identified cyberattacks as an area they need to look into and have attempted to make some inroads;
  • Initial: Countries which have just begun paying attention to this area for various reasons, including more pressing domestic needs.

The state of APAC

Let me give you some (non-exhaustive) examples of good national cybersecurity efforts in the region.

Singapore is an example of a country that is putting a lot of effort into boosting its national cybersecurity capabilities. When Singapore launched its $30-million, five-year project called the ASEAN-Singapore Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence in 2019, it opened up an opportunity to offer policy and technical programs for member state participants to help bolster regional cybersecurity capabilities. The project also pushed for collaboration among ASEAN member countries to conduct research, share knowledge and train to respond to cyber threats.

Placing data security high on the national list is what we saw when Australia’s Cyber Security Strategy 2020 kicked off last year with an investment of A$1.67 billion allocated over 10 years. The government’s three-pronged strategy of building a stronger digital ecosystem, growing a skilled workforce and protecting Australians shows us that they are taking cybersecurity very seriously.

Japan has also gradually integrated cybersecurity into boosting capacity-building in ASEAN, offering platforms for collaboration with individual Southeast Asian countries as well as the United States through additional coordination. Through mechanisms such as the annual ASEAN-Japan Cybersecurity Policy Meeting first held in 2009, Tokyo has gradually broadened its engagement with Southeast Asian states to include a range of areas such as mutual notification for incidents, joint industry-government-academic collaboration, the construction of new facilities such as the ASEAN-Japan Cybersecurity Capacity Building Center in Thailand, and the holding of U.S.-Japan training workshops on areas like industrial control systems.

In today’s landscape, a key focus area of cybersecurity education and capacity-building is enabling countries in the intermediate category to move towards the advanced group.

Vietnam in particular has been actively reinforcing regulations and standard-setting across the government and in partnership with the private sector. Among the pivotal measures it has established include a national cybersecurity law, standards and blueprints across government and private organizations.

In its twin five-year cybersecurity master plans, the private sector is encouraged to collaborate with the government in cascading materials to customers, granting scholarships and co-organizing campaigns and training. One of the prominent campaigns in the country was the government-led National Malware Detection and Removal Campaign launched in 2020 and supported by 18 local and foreign cybersecurity firms, including Kaspersky.

Both India and Indonesia are on the cusps of releasing their national cybersecurity strategies, highlighting the awareness that these markets have on the importance of the issue.

While India may have grappled with an unprecedented spike in cyberattacks since the pandemic, it has made headway in training thousands of government officials and critical sector companies, initiating cybersecurity investments and establishing agreements outside ASEAN such as with Japan, Israel and more recently with Bahrain to boost cooperation in cybersecurity in capacity-building, research and development and the protection of critical information infrastructure.

Efforts to promote cybersecurity education and capacity-building should also build on or integrate ongoing initiatives. India is a case in point, with New Delhi having several individual efforts but facing challenges in integrating them into a coherent strategy and promoting cyber awareness across society at large.

Indonesia, which is in a similar spot as India, is counting on firming up its cybersecurity education and capacity-building initiatives to achieve its national interests including political stability and economic growth. Through its National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), the country has involved its key stakeholders including the public for cybersecurity awareness to address the shortage of local cybersecurity experts.

Cybersecurity education and capacity-building initiatives would help Indonesia’s government agencies to address concerns on data leaks and data-sharing practices. Data leaks continue to occur often in Indonesia, most recently with its state health insurer, and government agencies have taken the necessary steps to ramp up prevention and mitigation measures in a bid to protect Indonesia’s information security and critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, data-sharing initiatives may also create beneficial spill over effects, where data can be reused by government agencies safely to open up significant growth opportunities or to generate benefits across society in ways that could not currently be seen.

Asian states are actively thinking about cybersecurity, while some may still be lacking behind due to not being well-equipped to either advance thinking or practice or provide timely opportunities for ideas to be shaped in a meaningful manner.

It is important that each country’s strategy is cohesive enough to enable them to understand where to bridge their own internal gaps. Regional and international organizations provide additional platforms that countries can leverage.

Regional Cooperation on Cybersecurity

As countries look towards formulating and implementing their strategies, regional cooperation between countries and with the industry is essential to help with knowledge and capacity building.

While there are already conversations on cybersecurity in Asian multilateral institutions, there are opportunities for expansion both horizontally and vertically. This includes not only channels within ASEAN engagements, but also in APEC where there may be links between cybersecurity issues and wider subjects being discussed such as data flows and digital transformation.

Now that cybercriminals are upping their game like never before, cyber infections are not going away, even for the APAC region whose threat landscape is as diverse as it is rapidly evolving. Against the backdrop of the pandemic and geopolitics, government organizations will continue to be natural targets for a whole array of cyberattacks, be it espionage or politically-motivated attacks.

The respective situations of certain countries in the region shared above, while still in flux, should nonetheless give all other countries a few ideas to explore strategies and evolve their cybersecurity implementation if they want to achieve cyber resilience and mitigate catastrophic risks.

To remain ahead of the game, a multifaceted approach is required. From Kaspersky’s experience, the most effective formula is to have constant improvement of security awareness. This includes engagement with the wider cybersecurity community and stakeholders, including cybersecurity providers to validate and verify the trustworthiness of its products, internal processes and business operations – an important pillar upheld by Kaspersky. To help improve incident response capabilities and ensure the safety and wellbeing of their citizens, countries should also continually promote skills training and enhanced collaboration.

Encapsulating summer in a bottle, the newest release is a unique take on Citadelle Original Gin’s terroir-driven recipe with a fruity and floral twist

SINGAPORE (1 July 2021) – Citadelle Gin, the first artisanal French gin, brings the latest addition to its permanent range, Citadelle Jardin d’été, to Singapore.

Inspired by a French garden cultivated by the wife of Citadelle Founder and Master Distiller, Alexandre Gabriel, Citadelle Jardin d’été (41.5% ABV) is created with the addition of melon flesh, whole lemon, yuzu zest and additional orange peel on top of the 19 botanicals found in Citadelle Original Gin. With Citadelle Jardin d’été, which translates to ‘summer garden’, Citadelle reveals its talent for selecting and mixing aromas to create flavours that surprise and delight.

The blend of fruits, citrus and herbs creates an aromatic experience with a balanced and
bright flavour profile that is reminiscent of summer in a bottle.

“The new Citadelle Jardin d’été is a tribute to my wife’s beautiful garden with all of her fruits, vegetables and herbs blooming in the summer. Her garden is my oasis and I wanted to bottle this little patch of paradise,” says Alexandre Gabriel. “It took several attempts to determine the ideal infusion period for each fruit and botanicals and we’ve finally created the perfect summer in a bottle”.

Citadelle Jardin d’été is now available for purchase at selected Cold Storage and Market Place stores across Singapore (RSP S$82), with limited-time promotions available for the launch period. From 12 July, Citadelle Jardin d’été will be first featured at Cold Storage Plaza Singapura with special offers and an exclusive giveaway for any shopper who purchases a bottle of Citadelle Gin on 14 July in celebration of Bastille Day.

Keep your Home Spotlessly Clean and Pet Fur-Free with Samsung Jet™ Portable Vacuum Cleaners

While it is already demanding to keep the house tidy, pet owners would understand the additional headache of keeping their fur babies in check. The one downside of owning a pet – most of them shed. While taking a lint roller to your clothes, couch, and pillows get the job done, the floors and furniture require a more powerful approach that can accommodate a heavy shedder –– especially when the statics kicks in –– be light on the hands to easily move around the house, and gets the job done well at every turn.

It is tempting to think that a super powerful vacuum is the ultimate solution. Ultimately, the best vacuum for pet hair may not necessarily be the one with power but should instead be with the right factors to match every pet and owner’s needs to tackle the most stubborn fur. Here is how to identify a good vacuum to shave off that pet fur problem from your to-do list:

  • Strong Suction

Most vacuums offer solid suction, but vacuums for pet hair are even tougher and more powerful, meaning they can deliver stronger suction to suck up fur wherever it is hiding, on any surfaces, and corners of the house.

  • Effective Filters and Dust Cups

Vacuums for pet hair tend to feature more effective filters and large dust cups so that they can trap and collect dust as well as all kinds of allergens. From loose fur to the allergens that pets can bring into the home, most of these specialized vacuums are pros at filtering out contaminants, dirt, and more.

  • Suitable for All Floors and Materials

Pet hair can get anywhere, and most vacuums for pet hair can offer excellent versatility. These vacuums can tackle all kinds of floors and surfaces, including carpeting, hardwood, tile, upholstery, and more.

  • Equipped with Special Accessories and Features

Vacuums that are specifically designed to tackle pet hair tend to have specialized attachments, tools, and bristles that will help you to eliminate fur on all types of surfaces. From crevice tools to brushes to rubber mixed in with vacuum bristles, these extras work harder.

Fur-Free with Samsung Jet™ Portable Vacuum

To help consumers with this problem, Samsung has introduced the Samsung Jet™, a cordless stick vacuum cleaner series that offers powerful suction power, lightweight and designed to deliver a hygienic solution. The Samsung Jet™ is equipped with industry-leading suction power and a Multi-layered Filtration System. This unique system in Samsung Jet™ minimizes the amount of dust or pet furs that escape back out through the exhaust during cleaning.

f

Other unique and innovative features that come with the Samsung Jet™ includes:

  • Hygienic Dustbin Disposal

Users can easily remove the device’s dustbin and wash it after emptying to remove the remaining dust. The internal rotating drum located by the vacuum cleaner’s head is also detachable. With just one click, you can fully clean your vacuum for its next run.

  • Long-Lasting Performance

Jet 90 Premium equipped with a high-capacity battery that lasts up to 60 minutes[1] on a full charge, it also comes with a spare battery[2] which users can take advantage of for up to 120 minutes of power to clean all your pet fur and other dust!

Easy and Hygienic Dustbin Cleaning Solution with Clean Station™

Empty your dustbin in a more convenient way with Clean Station™ that does the job for you automatically, without having to separate the pipe or the cyclone by hand –– simply detach and place the dustbin on top of the Clean Station™. Thanks to its air-tight design, it prevents ultrafine dust from scattering back into the air, making it 400 times more hygienic than conventional dustbins[3]. With our Air Pulse Technology, the pulsating air current shakes off dust inside the dustbin to ensure that dust are removed effectively.[4]

 

With the right vacuum on hand, there is more time to focus on loving your fur babies. Having a clean surface and air also helps to keep everyone at home in better health, away from potential allergens triggers.
