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.

Building on a decade of innovation and design excellence, the HUAWEI WATCH Series, first introduced in 2015, has consistently set industry benchmarks by blending cutting-edge technology with intuitive and futuristic aesthetics. The latest generation, HUAWEI WATCH 5, elevates this legacy, introducing sophisticated multi-sensing X-TAP technology, revolutionary health monitoring capabilities, intuitive gesture interactions, and exceptional design craftsmanship.

Inspired by the Kármán Line, the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space, HUAWEI WATCH 5 features a sleek, integrated case design in two distinct sizes: the HUAWEI WATCH 5 42mm and the HUAWEI WATCH 5 46mm. Both models blend polished exteriors and finely detailed crowns, delivering a seamless balance between aesthetics and function.

Huawei’s expertise in colour development is reflected in the new Sand Gold and Beige editions for the 42mm model, and a Purple edition for the 46mm. These designs are crafted using 904L stainless steel, known for its durability and corrosion resistance. The 42mm uses this robust material, while the 46mm model features aerospace-grade silver, 45% lighter and nearly twice as strong as stainless steel. Both sizes are also available in minimalist 316L stainless steel variants, offering users refined options in compact and larger formats. Each watch is topped with a spherical sapphire glass, valued for its exceptional hardness and clarity.

The HUAWEI WATCH 5 comes with three strap materials, titanium, fluoroelastomer, and composite materials. The new composite strap mimics leather’s texture while being odour-free, waterproof, and stain-resistant. The high-tech plain leather straps come in denim (beige) and silk (purple) textures, suiting a wide range of fashion styles.

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. It is uniquely equipped with cutting-edge specialist dental technology imported from Germany – including advanced equipment being used in Malaysia (and even Southeast Asia) for the very first time. 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. Every detail, from the spa-like waiting lounge to the digitally integrated treatment suites, blends comfort, clinical precision, and digital innovation to elevate the patient experience.

This collaborative launch of Alba Dental is set to elevate Malaysia as a destination for world-class aesthetic dentistry. 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. At the grand opening, guests toured the facility and met the powerhouse team behind Alba Dental. The consensus was clear: with its combination of celebrity expertise, international standards, and luxurious ambiance, Alba Dental is poised to put Kuala Lumpur on the map for elite smile transformations.

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.
