Cimory has launched the new Cimory UHT Milk with Marie Regal flavour in Indonesia. The dairy company describes the latest product, a collaboration with Regal Biscuits, as the first UHT milk with the real Marie Regal.
The launch taps into the current practice of dipping Marie Regal biscuits into beverages especially milk. We have also seen many foodservice players innovate with Marie Regal biscuits as a crunchy topping. Moreover, Marie biscuits are also a common ingredient in home-baking recipes.
Cimory’s Marie Regal flavoured milk represents an elevated version of Indomilk’s Marie biscuit flavour, which was launched in early 2021.

POCARI SWEAT products to aid rehydration after exercise. PHOTO: POCARI SWEAT SG
Singapore, 1 June 2021 – POCARI SWEAT, the isotonic beverage developed by Japan’s Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (OPC), announced a partnership with Sports Medicine Association Singapore (SMAS) during SMAS’ Sports Medicine Series virtual seminar on 29th May 2021. This collaboration marks POCARI SWEAT as SMAS’ first-ever Official Hydration Partner.
SMAS is the registered society for sports medicine and sports science professionals in Singapore. Its characteristic multi-disciplinary membership comprises doctors, physiotherapists, podiatrists, sports nutritionists and dieticians, exercise physiologists, sports scientists, and sports psychologists, all integrated into one community. SMAS aims to promote sports medicine and sports science knowledge to the sporting community in Singapore and beyond.
Underpinned by the corporate philosophy of improving the quality of health worldwide, POCARI SWEAT has continued to support high-performance athletes as an official hydration partner at the 2018 Asian Games and 2019 SEA Games. It has also partnered with local athletes including Soh Rui Yong (who broke the 23-year-old national men’s marathon record at Seoul Marathon 2019) and continues to support the Singapore Athletics Association since 2019. In partnership with SMAS, POCARI SWEAT hopes to educate on appropriate hydration techniques and share their sports know-how with not only high-performance athletes, but also recreational sports participants, so that everyone can make better informed choices.

Under the partnership, POCARI SWEAT and SMAS will work to educate sports professionals and the public by disseminating accurate information on sports-related topics like proper hydration. By providing more accessible resources for the public, POCARI SWEAT aims to highlight that beyond the common belief that the body needs water to compensate for fluid losses during perspiration, electrolyte imbalances and low blood sugar levels are also major causes for concern in prolonged exercise.
During the Sports Medicine Series virtual seminar, speaker Mr. Derrick Ong, Principal Dietitian at Eat Right Nutrition Consultancy further explained, “Electrolytes are minerals that are lost in sweat and need to be replaced as exercise progresses. How much to replace is dependent on several factors including individual sweat rate, amount of sodium in one’s sweat, and environmental conditions. Generally, it is recommended to hydrate with isotonic
drinks like POCARI SWEAT after at least 1 hour of moderate to high-intensity physical activity. POCARI SWEAT’s electrolyte concentration resembles the natural fluid balance in the human body, which can help replenish lost water and electrolytes that the body needs after exercise.”
SMAS and POCARI SWEAT believe that it is important to deliver evidence-based advice to both competitive athletes and sports enthusiasts alike. SMAS and POCARI SWEAT will jointly organise educational events with sports science and sports medicine professionals to throw light on interesting sports-related subjects. These seminars aim to appeal not only to the sports science and sports medicine community, but also the general population, bringing POCARI SWEAT to a wider audience.
“At POCARI SWEAT, we make sure that our products are constantly tested, up to date with the latest scientific findings and most of all, effective for all our consumers. We believe in creating an impact that will help build a long-lasting benefit to the health of a community. As such, we are proud to partner with SMAS to provide insightful information on proper hydration and a spectrum of other sports science topics to encourage a healthy lifestyle,” comments Mr. Joshua Lee, Country Manager of POCARI SWEAT Singapore.
SMAS President, Dr. Dinesh Sirisena adds, “As a professional sports medicine and sports science association, we believe that POCARI SWEAT rehydrates suitably after exercise, especially in hot climates like Singapore. We are excited to work with POCARI SWEAT to share sports science research and educate the general public about the benefits of sports and exercise.”
This partnership with POCARI SWEAT is the first collaboration for SMAS, which will commence in May 2021. POCARI SWEAT and SMAS will work together to disseminate and improve the quality of sports-associated information and resources throughout 2021 and 2022.

KUALA LUMPUR, 31 May 2021 – The largest 24-hour standalone convenience store operator, 7-Eleven Malaysia, in collaboration with its partner NGOhub, carried out its latest corporate social responsibility (CSR) this Hari Raya by reaching out to the disenfranchised communities that have been adversely affected in light of the restricted movement order.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by these less fortunate communities during this festive season, 7-Eleven Malaysia arranged for the distribution of groceries and basic necessities such as rice, cooking oil, canned sardines, cookies, instant oatmeal and condensed milk to name a few to Rumah Titian Kaseh, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq, and other selected charitable organisations that are located in the most affected areas to help ease their burden during this challenging period.
7-Eleven Malaysia’s General Manager of Marketing, Ronan Lee, said: “Every year during this festive period, it is especially important to not forget about the community surrounding us, especially the underprivileged and neglected. Hari Raya is a time to spare a thought for underprivileged children and less fortunate groups living in welfare homes and orphanages, especially during these unprecedented times. It is indeed heartwarming to see the smile on the residents’ faces as they deserve to remember how it feels to be loved and truly cared for.”
“At 7-Eleven, we are committed to assisting the community we served in through various activities and campaigns. Driven by our CSR initiatives to contribute to the well-being of society, we believe it is important to get on the ground in light of the restricted movement order and ensure that these less fortunate communities are not neglected,” Lee said.
“In light of the pandemic, necessary precautions were taken at the supply handovers with minimal personnel from both the recipients and our side as well as minimal interaction with the supplies dropped off at the lobby of the home. We would like to encourage members of the public to strictly adhere to the relevant authorities’ guidelines and instructions and practice social distancing as everyone plays a vital role in overcoming the pandemic together,” he added.
Expressing her gratitude, the caretaker of Rumah Titian Kaseh, Linda said, “We are ever thankful to 7-Eleven Malaysia for the generous contribution during these challenging times. At present, we have around 90 residents including elderly, single mothers and children from various social background and most of them have poor access to education with poor literacy rate.”
“Our role as a shelter in supplying daily essentials for them has become paramount when the pandemic hit. It has been tough for us to secure donations especially when we have to keep operations afloat. Some of our children were tested positive for COVID-19 recently and this means we are in need of more face masks, hand sanitisers, and multivitamin supplement,” she added.
Founded in 2017, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq is a shelter home in Kampung Datuk Keramat. The home operates with two caretakers and hosts 15 children between 9 months to 14 years of age. On receiving the groceries and basic necessities, the caretaker of Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq, Fadillah said, “We would like to want thank 7-Eleven Malaysia and NGOHub for the contribution to our home. We truly appreciate your kindness towards our children especially during these challenging times. Thank you so much for being there for us.”
Both homes welcome contribution from society and is particularly seeking for monetary funds and household items. For more information on how to support them, contact Rumah Titian Kaseh (+6 012 991 6081) and Pertubuhan Kebajikan Dan Perlindungan Al-Haq (+6011 1030 6309) or visit their websites.
Ovaltine Thailand has a new Ovaltine Finest Cocoa Blend that is designed to easily dissolve in both hot and cold water. Now, you can now create a drink with cold water without having to first dilute in hot water.
Ovaltine Finest Cocoa is low in sugar and low in fat. It is also rich in vitamin C and E.
Oishi has added a new Japanese tea variant to its Oishi Gold label. This time the RTD tea brand is introducing wakoucha (和红茶) or Japanese black tea to Thai consumers.
The history of wakoucha tea in Japan is around 150 years old and was started during the Meiji period. Only several hundred farmers are cultivating wokoucha in Japan and thus making it a specialty tea since it accounts for less than 1% of Japan’s total tea production. Wakoucha has a relatively low astringency.
Oishi Gold Label Wakoucha (400ml) comes in No Sugar and Lemon Delight. The RTD tea also contains 6,000mg of fibre.
Osotspa’s C-vitt brand is back with a focus on gut health and improving skin complexion. The new C-vitt Plus contains not only 200% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C but it also has collagen (mix berry) and fibre (grape flavour).
C-vitt Plus offers addition benefits sought after by female consumers to increase the appeal of C-vitt following heightened competition in the vitamin-fortified beverage segment in Thailand.
