Every bottle sold during the campaign period translates into
1 pledge where Shokubutsu will contribute RM0.10 to NCSM. Shokubutsu aims to
raise RM25,000 through the 250,000 pledges.
To support this campaign, Shokubutsu has organize nationwide
roadshows, in-store promotions and social media activation in educating
women the step-by-step guide to do breast self-check during
shower. Shokubutsu has also designed a special application on Shokubutsu
Malaysia Facebook for women to upload and share their pledges with their
friends and receive a Free 3D Mammogram with consultation voucher when
they buy a Thin Prep (Pap Smear) at NCSM Cancer and Health Screening
Clinic.
Supported by campaign partner National Cancer Society Malaysia
(NCSM), the initiative aims to empower women and highlight to them that early
breast cancer detection lies in their hands and in turn, early detection can
significantly increase the survival rate. This campaign is not only about
encouraging women to pledge for their own wellbeing, but also for the sake
of their loved ones as family members are deeply affected alongside the
patient.
Many women are aware of breast cancer but just how many of us have
committed ourselves to do something about it? Theory is not practical and
does not translate to any detection of this killer. Women lead such hectic
lives that it is easy to find excuses and neglect their health. Shokubutsu
understand this situation well and therefore believe that shower time
is an ideal time for us to practice this good habit. No matter how hectic
the life can be, a person will still spend the time to shower.
“Most of us leads a very busy lifestyle – whether at
work, doing house chores, playing with the children and others. We seldom
prioritise our own health. This can be due to time constraint or lack of
suitable time to take a simple action that can be an early detection step. In
addition, women often do not make this step a commitment especially when
the requirement is perceived to be troublesome,” said Jackie Low,
Marketing Manager, Personal Care Products Department, Southern Lion Sdn
Bhd, the company behind the Shokubutsu brand.
“Since we shower everyday, Shokubutsu realised that shower time
would be an ideal timing for us. Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower is
a campaign at educating women that they are doing their breast self-check
cares not just for their own good but they are doing it because they care
for their loved ones too”, she continued.
Shokubutsu wants women to also realise that breast self-check
during shower is only one of the more helpful self-initiative step enable
early detection and women especially aged 40 and above are encouraged to
perform Mammogram scanning every 1-2 years as their risk of getting breast
cancer is higher.
