SK magic unveils new tankless water purifier

IN the spirit of sharing and spreading happiness this Raya, SK magic, South Korea’s leading home appliances brand recently launched the JIKSOO Ria, its latest tankless water purifier that is affordable to all.

True to its commitment to inspire all Malaysians to live a quality and healthy lifestyle, the JIKSOO Ria is affordably priced to encourage Malaysians to start caring about their water intake and stop drinking from stagnant water sources, a known bacteria and algae breeding pool, commonly found in tanked purifiers.

Priced at RM3,800, this latest addition to SK magic’s range of advanced JIKSOO technology water purifiers comes with innovative nanotechnology filtration system and water tab UV sterilisation system that filters viruses, bacteria, microplastics and heavy metals, while allowing essential minerals to pass through.

As the pioneer in tankless technology, SK magic advocates that clean and fresh drinking water is not a luxury and should be accessible to all Malaysians, because everyone deserves the best.

Helping single mothers gain financial independence

THIS Hari Raya, The Gardens Mall is bringing the comfort of home and the memories of celebrations with loved ones to its mall decor. With many unable to travel back to their kampung to visit grandparents and other loved ones, the Mall decided to bring elements of grandma’s eclectic home to the mall for all to enjoy this year.

Step into the mall and be greeted by a burst of colour and patterns with traditional woven pandanus ware and hand-sewn patchwork fabric. Snap photos with friends and family at the various vignettes set-up along the Ground Floor. Much like atok’s garden, there is much greenery around
to coax nostalgia for the simple kampung life.

Not forgetting the underprivileged this season, over at the South Palm on the Ground Floor, The Gardens Mall is collecting your unwanted denim to donate to the single mothers of SURI. SURI is a social enterprise that employs single mothers from low-income communities to turn unwanted denim material into fashionable apparel and other household items. SURI also believes in protecting the environment through upcycling.

As part of the partnership during Hari Raya, The Gardens Mall has pledged RM10,000 to SURI for its efforts in helping these single mothers gain financial independence.

A green milestone for MSU

BUILDINGS contribute 80-90% of the world’s carbon emission; they thus represent the biggest opportunities for climate-change mitigation through carbon reduction.

Universities, as owners of buildings that remain theirs for years to come, have a special responsibility to arrest climate change through sustainable operation. Management and Science University (MSU) recently achieved a Diamond-2 rating in the SEDA Malaysia Sustainable Energy Low Carbon Building Assessment 2020.

Recording 24.21% less emission against baseline measurements in 2019 – an annual saving of 5,646,661 kWh or 3,918.78 tonnes less carbon dioxide in 2020 – MSU is well on its way to supporting governmental target of 40-45% less CO2 in 2030.

In honour of this achievement, MSU President Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid was presented with the University’s first green certification by SEDA Acting Chief Strategic Officer TS Steve Anthony Lojuntin.

With the Green Pass, MSU emerged the first private institution of higher education in Malaysia to receive the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Diamond-2 rating.

Inspiring and uniting Malaysian youth

SAMSUNG MALAYSIA ELECTRONICS recently announced a new initiative – “A Rising Star” – to inspire and unite Malaysian youth, our rising stars, through a memorable one-of-a-kind experience. As a global leader in mobile technologies, A Rising Star demonstrates Samsung Malaysia’s commitment to enhancing the local art and music industry by providing an avenue for today’s youth to truly enjoy art and music – leveraging the unique features of the Galaxy A32, Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72.

Arts and music, in particular, is at the core of youth culture and plays an important role in advancing their socialisation and creative self-expression. Not only does this campaign aim to bring together young people in Malaysia through their shared passion and appreciation for local art and music, it also draws forth youth’s potential and unite people from all walks of life.

“Youth today are influencing trends we are seeing in culture and those trends are ideated, inspired and created with their smartphones. Their drive to create never stops and Samsung’s innovative technologies are the perfect companion for young people in Malaysia and around the world, encouraging them to channel their creativity and pursue their passions and dreams,” said Elaine Soh, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Through this initiative, Samsung will mobilise a range of activities that will happen in efforts to allow youths to capture and experience exceptional moments.

Encouraging local music with Universal Music Malaysia

Universal Music Malaysia and Samsung are ecstatic to announce the launch of a music video (MV) by an up-and-coming local artist – Raya-themed MV titled Raya Raya Raya by Malaysian heartthrob girl group DOLLA.

Raya Raya Raya MV touches on the contrast of traditional and modern styles celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri where the rapid technology innovations of today have shaped how the important day is celebrated, especially the significance of social media tools and platforms in influencing interactions between family and friends. With that spirit in mind, Samsung also launched a DOLLA TikTok Challenge – to participate, simply dance to DOLLA’s new Raya song and stand a chance to win total of nine units of the brand new Galaxy A32 Samsung is giving away!

Additionally, Samsung and Universal Music will also be working together on activations that will empower youth in achieving their dreams in the music industry, one involving another rising local artistes, Jeii Pong and Gaston Pong, also known as “PongPong”.

KL City takeover powered by Samsung Galaxy A

As part of Samsung’s effort to brighten up the city, Samsung partnered with talented mural artists to, quite literally, paint the town.

Several iconic buildings across KL City have gone through a massively fun makeover. Murals painted on buildings such as the REX KL building in Chinatown no longer sport old and dull grey paint. It is now covered in bright murals featuring fun characters and colors that accurately represent the culture of Malaysia from renowned artist, Orkibal. As for the magical transformation of Drop Inn Lodge at Jalan Tun HS Lee, it is the brainchild of an outstanding graffiti whiz, Lowkey.

Another iconic architecture, the Zhongshan Art Building will also go through the same beautification by well-known mural artist, Bono Stellar and is scheduled to be completed by end of May 2021.

Royal Canin introduces Hematuria Detection

CATS are secretive by nature and they have evolved to hide signs of illness and pain. Oftentimes owners only discover the cat’s sickness at the critical stage, which might be too late or harder for the cat to receive treatment. Therefore, early detection and diagnosis of hematuria are important for the cat’s wellbeing.

Hematuria or blood in the urine is one of the clinical signs of feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTD) and it may indicate a serious underlying condition.

In effort to continue making the world better for pets, Royal Canin is introducing Hematuria Detection in Malaysia for the very first time. Hematuria Detection are litter granules that enable early detection of microscopic blood traces in cat’s urine in the comfort of cat owner’s home with only three steps.

Royal Canin, at the same time also introduced the FHN Sterilised Wet Pouch, the gravy variant in addition to the earlier launched kibbles, specially tailored for neutered cats.

Helping the less fortunate

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.
