Good toilet hygiene plays a vital role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, ensuring students feel safe and comfortable, and fostering an environment conducive to learning in schools.

We were honoured to attend the at the campaign launch event

Good news! Panasonic Malaysia has launched the “Panasonic Rakan Bersih Ceria” campaign to raise awareness and educate on good toilet hygiene standards and habits amongst primary school children in Malaysia. This is part of Panasonic’s efforts to address on-going concerns with school toilet cleanliness, as well as to improve lives and holistic well-being, in line with its corporate vision and tagline “Create Today. Enrich Tomorrow.” to set the stage for a cleaner and healthier future for all Malaysians.

The launch ceremony was officiated by Mr. Keisuke Nishida, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sentul 2, Kuala Lumpur on 1 October 2024.

“Panasonic Rakan Bersih Ceria” campaign goes beyond conventional measures and involves the installation of manual bidet seats in the school toilets to contribute towards improving their cleanliness and hygiene. More importantly, this campaign aligns with our government’s call to provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment for both students and teachers through the upgrade and maintenance of facilities in schools.

“We are very excited to launch this campaign with the Ministry of Education’s support to foster healthier and more hygienic habits among school children. Panasonic’s identity is rooted in Japanese culture. One of them is an emphasis on practicing cleanliness, which promotes better hygiene, reduces the spread of illnesses as well as improves overall health and well-being. More essentially, by instilling good hygiene standards early on, we empower children to take responsibility for their own hygiene and contribute towards maintaining a cleaner and healthier space for themselves and others,” said Keisuke Nishida, Managing Director of Panasonic Malaysia during the launch event.

“Through this campaign, we hope to share our culture of cleanliness and envision a future where hygiene is not just a practice, but a lifestyle and lifelong healthy habits as part of student development,” added Nishida.

The campaign involved 25 participating primary schools across the Klang Valley. With good hygiene standards serving as the foundation of toilet cleanliness, and a healthier and more sanitary environment for all, Panasonic conducted informative and engaging workshops educating students the importance of hygiene education and good restroom practices. The workshops are also designed to have exciting activities to ensure students are well-prepared for life beyond the textbook and naturally lead them toward embracing a hygienic lifestyle.

Panasonic also distributed educational materials, including posters emphasizing clean, comfortable, and eco-friendly bathroom practices, with a specific focus on bidet usage.

GSK Shingles Vaccine Now Available in Malaysia

GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Sdn Bhd (GSK) has launched its Herpes Zoster vaccine, Shingrix (MAL24056002ARZ), also known as Recombinant Zoster Vaccine, Adjuvanted (RZV) in Malaysia for the prevention of shingles (herpes zoster, HZ) and post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) in adults aged 50 years and over.ⁱ RZV is a non-live, recombinant subunit adjuvanted vaccine given intramuscularly in two doses on 10 Sep 2024.

RZV will initially be available in Malaysia to adults aged 50 and over and those aged 18 and over who are at increased risk of HZ.

Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox.ⁱⁱ As people age, the cells in the immune system lose the ability to mount a strong and effective response to infection, increasing the risk of developing shingles.ⁱⁱⁱ The disease can cause unbearable pain and, in some cases, people can also develop post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) a long-lasting nerve pain following shingles.^iv

RZV is a vaccine designed to prevent shingles in adults aged 50 years and over and 18 years and over who are at increased risk in countries where the indication for this population has been approved.ⁱ RZV is also approved for adults aged 18 and over who are at increased risk of HZ.ⁱ Immunocompromised individuals are at greater risk of shingles and associated complications and RZV is a shingles vaccine approved for this at-risk patient population.

In an analysis of the pivotal efficacy studies, ZOE-50, RZV demonstrated vaccine efficacy of up to 97%ⁱin adults 50 years and above, over a follow-up period of approximately three years.^i, Recent interim data demonstrated overall vaccine efficacy of RZV of greater than 80% over the primary follow-up period approximately six to 10 years after initial vaccination in people 50 years and over.

Dr. Alap Gandhi, Country Medical Director of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceutical Sdn Bhd (GSK) Malaysia said: “Shingles is a disease that can cause excruciating pain and is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus. RZV has been designed to boost the immune response to the virus in people aged 50 and over or in those with immunocompromised conditions.” He concluded, “We are pleased that people in Malaysia will now have access to the RZV vaccine to help reduce the burden of this painful disease.”
