Celebrating 100 Years of Kewpie Magic with Education & Culinary Collaborations

From humble beginnings in 1925 to becoming a global kitchen essential, Kewpie Mayonnaise has spent a century transforming simple ingredients into unforgettable flavors. This year, Kewpie Malaysia is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Kewpie Mayonnaise, marking a century of flavour innovation, culinary inspiration, and trusted quality. The celebration marks a century of innovation and flavour from the Japanese-born brand, and signals its commitment to nurturing local talent and culinary creativity in Malaysia. To commemorate this historic milestone, Kewpie is launching a wide-reaching celebration that blends global festivities, local partnerships, and a golden opportunity for Malaysians to win a dream holiday to Japan.

First introduced in Japan in 1925 by founder Toichiro Nakashima, Kewpie Mayonnaise was born with a mission to improve nutrition and promote healthier eating. Its rich, creamy texture and distinct umami flavour quickly captured the hearts of families, chefs, and food lovers alike. The 100th anniversary of Kewpie Mayonnaise celebrates the brand’s enduring quality, health-conscious origins, and distinct umami flavour that has captivated generations of consumers across Asia and beyond. Having been in Malaysia since 2009, Kewpie continues to build on its legacy with a strong local presence and commitment to the halal-certified market.

Affectionate Intelligence by LG Electronics Malaysia

LG Electronics Malaysia (LG) recently unveiled its vision for more empathetic technology at the annual LG Convention in Bangsar South. Powered by Affectionate Intelligence (AI), the showcase featured an impressive line-up of AI-enhanced consumer electronics, demonstrating the company’s commitment as a Smart Life Solution Company to creating technology that truly understands and adapts to users’ needs.

This prestigious convention has been the nation’s premier platform for unveiling LG’s latest cutting-edge innovations and cornerstone of LG’s product launches in Malaysia for over a decade. At the heart of LG’s presentation was the transformative approach of Affectionate Intelligence (AI), emphasising the company’s vision of a future where technology does not just automate tasks, but understands, adapts to and enhances the overall human experience - making users feel understood and enriching everyday moments.

“The next frontier isn’t just smarter technology – it’s more empathetic technology,” said Justin Choi, Managing Director of LG Electronics Malaysia.

“Our AI-powered consumer electronics demonstrate how we’re creating solutions that understand real human needs rather than forcing users to adapt to technology. These innovations learn from your behaviours to anticipate needs before you even express them, giving you more time for what truly matters.”

Leading the showcase were LG’s latest OLED televisions featuring advanced AI picture and sound processing that automatically optimises viewing experiences based on content and environment. The AI-powered displays deliver personalised entertainment that adapts to viewing preferences and room conditions.

The LG AI Air DualCool™ air conditioning system impressed attendees with its intelligent cooling technology that learns usage patterns and automatically adjusts temperature and airflow for optimal comfort while maximising energy efficiency.

LG Subscribe Rebranding & The Launch of LG ATOM-U Water

LG Electronics Malaysia recently announced the strategic rebranding of LG Rent-Up to LG Subscribe at an exclusive event featuring Lee Zii Jia, Paris 2024 Olympics Badminton Men's Singles Bronze Medallist and LG Brand Ambassador. This milestone positions Malaysia as the first subsidiary to implement a comprehensive home appliance subscription business model – a customer-first approach that redefines how Malaysians access premium technology without the financial burden of ownership.

The rebranding marks LG’s strategic evolution from traditional ownership concept to a forward-thinking subscription model, embodying the company's “Life's Good” philosophy of making innovative technology more accessible to all Malaysians. Feedback from customers revealed a common point of confusion – many were uncertain if the term “rent” implied temporary use or a path to ownership.

According to Mr. Justin Choi, Managing Director of LG Electronics Malaysia, this valuable customer insight prompted LG Malaysia to follow the successful lead of Korea – and align with other subsidiaries including Thailand, India, and Singapore - by adopting the clearer, more intuitive name: LG Subscribe.

“Following our Future Vision 2030 laid out globally, we aim to transform LG into a Smart Life Solution Company by connecting and enhancing customer experiences across all living spaces – from homes and commercial environments to mobility and virtual platforms. We’re moving beyond consumer electronics to deliver intelligent solutions that improve everyday life,” said Mr Justin.

“Today marks a pivotal moment in our journey to redefine how Malaysians experience premium technology. With LG Subscribe, we reinforce our commitment to offering flexible, accessible solutions that cater to modern lifestyles – removing the financial barriers to enjoying cutting-edge appliances.”

LG Subscribe offers a robust line-up of 10 premium products including popular innovations such as LG PuriCare™ water purification systems, LG CordZero vacuum technology, LG ArtCool air conditioning, and LG WashTower laundry solutions. Subscribers enjoy professional maintenance service from 5 to 7 years and seamless integration with LG’s ThinQ smart technology – all with flexible payment options designed to fit diverse budgets.

New! The Ordinary UV Filters SPF 45 Serum

The Ordinary has launched UV Filters SPF 45 Serum - a serum-textured sunscreen offering broad-spectrum SPF 45 protection against sun damage and premature skin aging caused by sun exposure.

The Ordinary has formulated an SPF product in the past - the Mineral UV Filters SPF 30 with Antioxidants. But after receiving consumer feedback regarding the mineral formula's thick texture and white cast. the brand discontinued its SPF and went back to the lab to formulate a sun protectant that its consumers will not only need but want to use daily.

Introducing - finally - The Ordinary's UV Filters SPF 45 Serum, a brand new formulation providing broad-spectrum SPF protection against sun damage and premature skin aging.

Break the Chemical Bias.

A common question amongst consumers is the difference between mineral and chemical suncare.

Essentially, both types of sunscreen formulations contain chemicals because everything is chemicals. While both chemical and mineral filters can be used in a formulation to provide great UV protection. it is harder to formulate a truly transparent, lightweight, and accessibly priced sunscreen with mineral filters alone - especially when looking to achieve a high SPF product.

This time, The Ordinary has stepped away from Mineral Filters and instead. worked with a blend of FDA-approved chemical filters to formulate an affordable, lightweight, high-SPF sunscreen that feels comfortable on the skin and does not leave a white cast - one that is suitable for daily use, and that you will truly want to wear every day.

First in Southeast Asia! Institut Jantung Negara Implant Revotionary Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker

Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most advanced heart hospitals continues to raise the bar in cardiac electrophysiology, advancing patient care through World Class innovation. IJN has made medical history by becoming the first centre in Southeast Asia to successfully implant the world's first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system, the Abbott's AVEIRTM DR.

From left to right: Datuk Dr Azlan Husin, Clinical Director Interventional Electrophysiology and Implantable Devices; Senior Consultant Cardiologist; Datuk Dr Shaiful Azmi Yahya,

Chief Clinical Officer, Senior Consultant Cardiologist; Prof Dato Sri Dr Mohamed Ezani Md Taib, Group Chief Executive Officer, IJN

Approved by the FDA in June 2023, AVEIR DR provides an innovative option to treat patients that suffer slow or irregular heart rhythms.

"IJN continues to set new standards for heart care in Malaysia and beyond. This new groundbreaking dual chamber leadless pacemaker will revolutionize care for our current patients and create a significant opportunity to expand the number of people we can serve. By eliminating traditional wires (leads) and surgical pockets, this leadless system significantly reduces the risk of complications such as infections, lead dislodgement, or vessel occlusion" said Senior Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Director — Interventional Electrophysiology and Implantable Devices

For decades, pacemaker technology remained fundamentally unchanged due to the challenge of achieving seamless dual-chamber communication without leads. AVEIRTM DR change that by enabling more natural heart rhythm synchrony and improves quality of life, especially for patients at higher risk from conventional systems.

Designed for patients with slow or abnormal heart rhythms, AVEIRTM DR represents a major leap in cardiac pacing technology. Unlike traditional pacemakers, which are placed under the skin with insulated leads extending to the heart, the AVEIRTM DR system uses two miniaturized pacemakers, each roughly one-tenth the size of conventional devices, implanted directly into the heart's right atrium and ventricle.

These old sneakers will be recycled and repurposed into community-centric infrastructure such as running tracks, playgrounds, and court surfaces, benefiting parks and communities across Malaysia.

guardian Malaysia Expands Hygiene Mission to Include Teens, Offers Hope and Dignity to Underprivileged Children

guardian Malaysia is turning everyday essentials into extraordinary acts of care.

As part of a powerful regional initiative spanning five countries including Malaysia, guardian has collectively donated over 40 million baths to underprivileged children in the last two years. This milestone reflects a shared commitment across the region to restore dignity and improve daily hygiene for those who need it most, proving that even a simple bath can make a meaningful difference in a child’s life.

A Regional Mission, A Local Impact

“guardian has been proudly rooted in Malaysian communities for 57 years, and our connection to the people is deeply personal,” said Anna Ng, Marketing Director of guardian Malaysia. “Our #MYWellbeingMatters brand pledge represents our commitment to caring for Malaysians—everywhere, every day.”

Hygiene is a Right, Not a Privilege

The initiative was launched in response to growing concerns during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, where rising costs of living forced families to prioritise food and shelter over personal care. For children in these households, maintaining basic hygiene became a daily struggle.

“Our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure every child—regardless of background—has access to the dignity of a clean bath,” Anna said. “Cleanliness boosts confidence, mental wellbeing, and school engagement. It’s a fundamental human right, not a luxury.”

From Children to Teens: Expanding Our Reach

In 2025, guardian Malaysia is broadening its reach to include underprivileged teenagers alongside primary school children. This decision stems from a growing recognition that teens, particularly in low-income communities, face unique hygiene challenges during a critical stage of emotional and social development.

Game-Changing Dental Collaboration Puts KL on the Map for World-Class Aesthetic Dentistry - As Alba Dental Launches

A new chapter in aesthetic dentistry begins today with the launch of Alba Dental, a premium dental clinic nestled at Pavilion Damansara Heights. A first-of-its-kind collaboration between Malaysia’s leading aesthetic dentist, Dr. Kayla Teh, and Australia’s award-winning Dental Boutique, Alba Dental, brings together international expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a deeply personalised approach to modern dentistry.

Alba Dental spans a sprawling, modern facility that is one of the largest single-location dental clinics in the country.

The clinic itself is designed as a wellness-inspired sanctuary: patients step into a serene, spa-like environment featuring plush comforts and soothing decor, rather than a typical clinical atmosphere.

By uniting Dr. Kayla’s artistic smile design prowess with Dental Boutique’s advanced techniques and success formula, the clinic aims to attract patients from across the region seeking outstanding cosmetic dental results.

New! Anlene CholestoPro: Dual Action Formula Take Care of Your Cholesterol and Mobility

High cholesterol is an increasing health concern in Malaysia, affecting millions of adults and elevating the risk of serious complications. However, cholesterol management is often overlooked despite its crucial connection to overall mobility and heart health. Many do not realize that strong bones, flexible joints, and active muscles are essential for maintaining an active lifestyle, which in turn supports better cholesterol management.

Anlene, Malaysia’s No.1 Adult Milk Powder*, introduces its latest innovation - Anlene CholestoPro recently. This unique formula is scientifically designed with dual action formula: containing nutrients to support mobility while helping to reduce cholesterol. By combining nutrient bundles that support mobility and cholesterol management, it offers a holistic benefit for Malaysians striving to lead an active lifestyle!

According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, over half a million Malaysian adults are living with four types of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity.

Ganesh Thiagarajan, General Manager of Fonterra Brands Malaysia and Singapore said: “Nearly 7.5 million adults, or 33.3% of the population, have high cholesterol, yet one in two remain unaware of their condition. Additionally, the NHMS 2023 showed that 54.4% adults are overweight or obese, further contributing to the risk of cholesterol-related health issues. Managing cholesterol requires a combination of efforts, including proper nutrition and an active lifestyle.”

“Staying physically active and managing cholesterol go hand in hand. To keep moving, we need strong bones, joints, and muscles. At the same time, poor bones, joints, and muscle health can limit activity levels, increasing the risk of weight gain and high cholesterol, which may contribute to the development of heart disease. To address the growing concern, Anlene is committed to empowering Malaysians with healthy eating by providing nutritious food and advocating active lifestyle,” said Ganesh.

He further emphasised on the importance of mobility, saying “With the launch of Anlene CholestoPro, we offer a convenient dual action formula that contains nutrients to support both mobility and cholesterol management. It is not just about reducing cholesterol; it is about ensuring Malaysians have the strength to keep doing what they love for longer. This new product joins our existing range, offering even greater benefits to those who already trust Anlene for their daily nutrition.”

High cholesterol is a serious yet often overlooked health risk because it has no noticeable symptoms. Dr. Azura Abas, who holds a MBBS, along with a MSc in Medical Physiology, emphasized the direct link between high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.

“Many don’t realize that high cholesterol significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease due to cholesterol buildup in the arteries, which can lead to blockages, heart attacks, and other serious complications. In fact, it is the second most prevalent risk factor for heart-related conditions. In Malaysia, cardiovascular disease is rising, with cases occurring an average of ten years earlier than the global trend.”

KAO Malaysia’s “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” Campaign Champions Lifelong Skin Health Starting from Youth

KAO Malaysia, in collaboration with Watsons, launched the “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” campaign recently, aimed at encouraging Malaysians to adopt skin protection as a foundation for lifelong health and confidence. To support this goal, the campaign introduces a collaborative ecosystem by combining Bioré skincare solutions with Watsons’ rewards-based programs, and includes a 1% sales donation drive benefitting local research to advance awareness and practices around skin protection and lifelong skin health.

“At KAO, we believe that skin protection is more than just a daily routine – it’s the foundation of a life well lived. Through this campaign, we want to remind Malaysians that every act of care, no matter how small, can shape a more radiant and confident tomorrow. With Bioré at the heart of this initiative, we’re proud to champion a message that blends science, self-love, and the simple joy of healthy skin. This initiative reflects KAO’s broader vision of helping Malaysians lead beautiful, healthy lives – a philosophy rooted in our Kirei Lifestyle Plan commitment.” said Mr. Yamazaki Hirobumi, President of KAO Malaysia.

Skin Protection, Life Perfection

To kick off the campaign, an event was organised featuring thought leaders and industry experts. The session commenced with an insightful keynote by Associate Professor ChM. Dr. Noraini from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya, who presented on “The Science Behind Effective Skincare Ingredients: Why Formulations Matter?”. In her presentation, she elaborated scientifically on the long-term impact of skin protection on dermatological health. This was followed by a live demonstration conducted by Dr. Lim Ing Kien, Doctor of Medicine, from Ventamin, who presented customised skincare regimens tailored to different age groups. Together, the presentations reinforced the campaign’s core message: healthy skin begins at a young age and requires a tailored approach throughout life’s various stages.

With daily exposure to UV rays, heat, and dust posing risks to both skin health and confidence, KAO is drawing on Bioré’s trusted expertise to provide a skincare regime that not only protects and nourishes, but also empowers individuals to pursue life goals with fewer worries. The Bioré skincare range champions a simple yet effective “Cleanse. Protect.” approach, combining gentle cleansing with high- performance UV-blocking formulations to build skin resilience day by day. This commitment supports users to not only maintain healthy skin, but to live life with clarity, comfort, and confidence in pursuit of what matters most.
