World Asthma Day Brings Together Communities to Raise Awareness on Asthma Management

My elder daughter suffered from asthma in her younger age, and we had to bring along inhaler for her back then. In fact, asthma is one of the most common respiratory diseases and it has been consistently on the rise in Malaysia. In recent years, the estimated asthma prevalence in Malaysia has increased from 6.4% to 9.4% in children aged 6-7 years old and from 9% to 13% in children aged 13-14 years old.¹

In view of the increasing number of asthma patients in Malaysia and the growing need to educate the public on asthma management, Asthma Malaysia and AstraZeneca has once again joined forces to organise the all-new ‘Breathe Better’ public campaign at the 1 Mont Kiara mall, in conjunction with World Asthma Day.

The event was designed to bring awareness to the public on the significance of managing asthma effectively. It was officiated by Dr. Helmy Haja Mydin, Consultant Respiratory Physician and co-founder of Asthma Malaysia, Dina Nadzir, Malaysian Singer, Radio Announcer, Actress, and Television Presenter; and Ashwini Saha, Country Medical Director and Asia Area Cardiovascular Metabolism Medical Therapeutic Area Lead, AstraZeneca.

Themed ‘Take Control of Your Asthma’, the campaign was aimed at educating attendees on the importance of utilising controller medication for the management and treatment of asthma symptoms over the long term, rather than relying solely on reliever medication.

Speaking on the Breathe Better campaign, Dr. Helmy said, “It is crucial to increase the knowledge and awareness of the public on how to manage asthma. Getting diagnosed early is vital in order to prevent attacks that can be both disabling and draining. Early and proper control with appropriate medication will not only prevent severe illness, but improve one’s quality of life especially in the face of haze and ongoing risks of respiratory infections.”

“This campaign also serves as an opportunity for healthcare professionals and individuals with asthma to come together and share their experiences and insights with the aim of improving asthma care and management in Malaysia,” Dr. Helmy added.

The Perfect Derma After Derm Moisturizing Lotion

I have shared on how did I treat my girls’ eczema with The Perfect Derma soothing skin relief cream here late last year.

It worked so well that they do not suffer from eczema flares after using it. However, their skin seemed to become dry and itchy some time. Hence, when The Perfect Derma announced the launch of their latest product, I did not hesitate to give it a try.

Introducing The Perfect Derma After Derm Moisturizing Lotion. The Perfect Derma team has spent 3 years researching and launching this moisturizing lotion, which is a perfect pair of Perfect Derma soothing skin relief cream.

The 6 benefits of using The Perfect Derma After Derm Moisturizing Lotion:

1. Suitable for eczema skin, specially for psoriasis symptoms. It is specially designed for sensitive skin.
2. Penetrates into the skin in 10 minutes. It deeply moisturises, reduces the recurrence of skin sensitivity, redness and swelling.
3. Dedicated to moisturising the skin cells, and forms a protective layer on the skin.
4. Contains high-quality Collagen to moisturise the skin and make the skin supple and elastic.
5. Infused with 7 kinds of natural plant extracts, it helps in antioxidants while also helping in skin cell repair
6. Leave a layer of protection on the skin barrier. The precious and high-tech honey extraction ingredients prevent the skin from dehydration.

Heineken® Collaborates with Global Korean Actor Park Hyung Sik for its New Campaign to Raise the Importance of Working Responsibly

In our hyperconnected world today, it is easier than ever to connect with employees on their devices. There is pressure to always be available, adding to employees’ working hours. In the APAC region, overworking is often seen as a sign of being successful in their careers which makes it challenging for employees to find time to socialise outside of work.

In collaboration with global Korean actor Park Hyung Sik, the latest Work Responsibly campaign by HEINEKEN® hopes to help strike a balance in this hyperconnected world by shedding light on the overworking culture that is commonplace in Malaysia. Staying true to their enjoyment of life values, HEINEKEN® wants to remind employees to work responsibly and not let their social life down by ‘ghosting’ their friends.

While ‘ghosting’ is a term typically used by Malaysians when dating, friendship ‘ghosting’ can hurt just as much. According to the latest YouGov survey commissioned by HEINEKEN®, one of the most common reasons why employees in Malaysia ‘ghost’ their friends is due to their work commitments. As much as they seek fresh moments with their friends, work makes it hard for them to do so.

As part of the HEINEKEN® Work Responsibly campaign, Park Hyung Sik recently shared a video on Instagram that appeared to show paranormal activity in a bar — beer glasses moving on their own and chairs sliding across the room. The incident was filmed to highlight how a friend stuck in the office is a ghost at the bar — whenever a friend ‘ghosts’ because of work, their friends end up hanging out with his/her ‘ghost’ instead — which explains the ‘paranormal’ activities happening in the video shared by Park Hyung Sik.

“Through this meaningful project by HEINEKEN®, we want to encourage employees to start working responsibly,” says Global Korean Actor Park Hyung Sik. “We should enjoy our social life and not let it be impacted by our work,” Park Hyung Sik added.
