The introduction of Gentle Sheep Step 4 represents a significant milestone for Spring Sheep New Zealand in the Malaysian market, as the company expands its trusted sheep milk nutrition range to cater to older children for the very first time.

Gentle Sheep Step 4 builds on the nutritional foundations that have made Spring Sheep New Zealand a trusted choice among parents across Asia.

LISTERINE® ‘Pencuci Mulut’ as The Missing Final Step in Malaysians' Oral Care Routine

In Malaysia, a feast is never truly over until the pencuci mulut (dessert) is served. Whether it’s the creamy finish of a Musang King durian or the cooling relief of ais kacang, that final course defines a complete experience. Yet, when it comes to oral health, millions of Malaysians are effectively “leaving the table” before the job is done.

LISTERINE®—Malaysia’s No. 1 mouthwash brand—in partnership with Watsons Malaysia, officially launched the ‘Pencuci Mulut’ Campaign in May 2026. This cultural wake-up call reimagines oral care through the lens of a national passion: food. Just as a meal feels unfinished without a sweet ending, the campaign posits that an oral care routine is fundamentally incomplete without a final rinse.

While Malaysians are meticulous brushers, clinical data reveals a startling "Invisible Gap" in local hygiene. Brushing, which remains the essential first step, only reaches the surfaces of the teeth—which account for a mere 25% of the mouth. The remaining 75%, including the tongue, inner cheeks, and gumline, often remains a sanctuary for bacteria to thrive.

“Most of us grew up hearing one message: brush your teeth — and that’s it. In Malaysia, that’s just the normal habit,” explained Dr. Kayla, a prominent dental expert, during the campaign
launch. “But clinically, brushing is only the first act. To address the remaining 75% of the oral
cavity where biofilm and bacteria reside, we must follow a complete sequence: Brush, Floss, and Rinse. By finishing with LISTERINE®, you aren't just freshening breath; you are utilising essential oils to achieve 5x more plaque reduction than brushing alone, ensuring the routine is truly finished.”

Also commenting at the launch, Ulrike Zillner, General Manager for Malaysia and Singapore at
Kenvue said, “We’ve observed a fascinating paradox: Malaysians are incredibly detail-oriented
about their grooming and their food, yet we’ve accepted a ‘half-brushed’ reality for generations. This isn’t about adding a chore; it’s about restoring the standard of what ‘clean’ actually means.

How I Recover with Salonpas from International Positive Energy Sports Wellness Carnival 2026

It was a sunny morning on 17 May 2026. I was excited to join the run at International Positive Energy Sports Wellness Carnival 2026 with my buddy early in the morning.

So we arrived National Stadium Bukit Jalil with our race kits and workout necessity.

First thing first, spray on Salonpas Jet Spray before the run for the cooling sensation. I like that it comes with a convenient spray format for hard-to-reach areas like calves, thighs, lower back, and shoulders.

Salonpas Jet Spray also can be spray anytime, during the run or after the run to helps soothe tired and overworked muscles. It is indeed a great product for quick relief after intense activity.

Easy to carry in a gym bag or running kit, it is an Ideal as part of a post-run recovery routine.

After the run, I apply Salonpas Patch to my calves to relief muscle aches and stiffness. It provides targeted relief for muscle aches and stiffness.

It is easy to apply Salonpas Patch, just apply directly to areas like the back, shoulders, knees, or calves. The Salonpas patch is comfortable and discreet enough to wear while continuing daily activities. It is very useful for supporting recovery after sports and exercise, and it helps me feel ready for my next training session.
