Alpro Pharmacy, Sandoz Malaysia and Doc2Us Launch ACCESS360 to Make Stroke Prevention More Accessible and Affordable

New collaborative initiative brings together community pharmacy, digital health and patient education to help Malaysians access affordable treatment, stay adherent and receive continuous healthcare support KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – Alpro Pharmacy, Sandoz Malaysia and Doc2Us today launched ACCESS360, a collaborative initiative designed to make stroke prevention more accessible and affordable for Malaysians by addressing some of the practical challenges patients face in managing their stroke risk from understanding their condition and accessing appropriate treatment to staying adherent and receiving continuous healthcare support. (From left: Dr. Jessica Kaur Moti A/P Amarjet Singh (Telehealth Doctor Team Lead of Alpro Pharmacy); Ms. Christine Chong (Country Head of Sandoz Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei); Mr. Heng Meng Ze (Head of Digital Transformation & Innovation of Doc2Us) Built around the theme “Affordable Treatment. Access to Healthcare Professionals. Continuous Care.”, ACCESS360 aims to ensure that patients are supported not only when they visit a doctor or hospital, but throughout their healthcare journey. For individuals at risk of stroke, stroke survivors and their caregivers, managing stroke risk can be a long-term responsibility. Knowing what to do is only one part of the journey. Patients also need access to trusted healthcare advice, appropriate and affordable treatment, support to take their medications as prescribed, and convenient ways to seek help when questions or concerns arise. Hence, ACCESS360 brings these elements together into a more connected patient support ecosystem. Leveraging Alpro Pharmacy’s nationwide network of more than 300 community pharmacies and over 1,000 healthcare professionals, alongside expertise of Sandoz in high-quality affordable medicines, and Doc2Us’ digital healthcare capabilities, the initiative brings stroke prevention support closer to Malaysians, both physically in the community and digitally from wherever they are. Stroke remains one of Malaysia’s leading causes of death and disability, with more than 40,000 hospital admissions recorded annually¹. The impact does not necessarily end after surviving a first stroke. According to the Clinical Practice Guidelines: Management of Ischaemic Stroke, approximately 26.4%–30% of stroke survivors may experience a recurrent stroke within five years². Individuals living with cardiovascular risk factors, including patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), may also face an increased risk of stroke. This makes early awareness, appropriate risk management, adherence to prescribed medication and regular follow-up with healthcare professionals important components of stroke prevention. Yet in everyday life, patients may face practical barriers. Some may struggle with the cost of long-term treatment. Others may stop taking medication when they feel better, be uncertain about why their medication is important, or lack convenient access to healthcare professionals when they need advice. For stroke survivors, the transition from hospital care back into the community can also make continuity of care more challenging. Therefore, ACCESS360 was created to help bridge these gaps. At the heart of the initiative is the ACCESS360 Stroke Prevention Digital Health Education Platform, providing easy-to-understand information on stroke risk factors, prevention, medication adherence, lifestyle modifications and long-term care. Rather than stopping at education, ACCESS360 provides patients with a pathway to take the next appropriate step. Through Alpro’s telehealth service, patients and caregivers can connect with pharmacists for personalised guidance on their health concerns, medications, treatment adherence and long-term care. Supported by access to quality and affordable treatment options from Sandoz, this integrated approach helps patients remain engaged in their care journey and maintain continuity of care. When further medical assessment is appropriate, they can be referred for an online doctor consultation through Doc2Us, providing a more convenient and connected pathway to ongoing healthcare support. This creates a more connected journey, from understand the risk, access professional advice, receive appropriate treatment, to stay adherent and continue care. The initiative is designed to reduce the gap between knowing what patients should do and helping them actually do it. For someone newly identified as being at higher risk of stroke, ACCESS360 provides a trusted starting point to understand their risk and where to seek help. For patients already receiving preventive treatment, it provides additional support to stay adherent and manage their health over time. For stroke survivors and caregivers, it provides an accessible point of support beyond hospital discharge. Most importantly, ACCESS360 brings healthcare closer to patients by allowing them to access support through a community pharmacy, speak to a pharmacist remotely or connect with a doctor digitally when appropriate. “Stroke prevention is not a one-time conversation. Patients may need to manage their risk for many years, and during that journey they may have questions about their medication, struggle with adherence or simply need someone they can turn to for trusted healthcare advice. “Stroke prevention should not be limited by barriers to access or affordability. For individuals at higher risk of stroke, being able to access appropriate treatment and stay adherent to their prescribed medication can make an important difference in managing their stroke risk. For stroke survivors, these same principles remain critical in reducing the risk of another stroke. Through ACCESS360, we hope to bring trusted healthcare guidance closer to Malaysians through our nationwide network of pharmacists, both in-store and through our online healthcare services,” said Dr. Jessica Kaur Moti A/P Amarjet Singh, Telehealth Doctor Team Lead of Alpro Pharmacy. “Strong partnerships are essential to improving patient outcomes, particularly in the prevention of recurrent stroke. ACCESS360 brings together the complementary strengths of Sandoz, Alpro Pharmacy and Doc2Us to provide patients with more seamless access to education, support and care. As Sandoz celebrates 55 years in Malaysia, we remain committed to expanding access to healthcare solutions and working with like-minded partners to create sustainable impact for patients and communities across the country,” said Christine Chong, Country Head of Sandoz Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. “Digital healthcare can help make healthcare support available beyond the traditional clinic setting. Through ACCESS360, patients and caregivers have another convenient way to access credible health information and connect with healthcare professionals when they need guidance, helping them remain engaged in their long-term stroke prevention journey,” said Mr Heng Meng Ze, Head of Digital Transformation & Innovation of Doc2Us.

From Vietnam to China: East West Barbershop Redefines Men’s Grooming

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – As more men place greater emphasis on their personal image, getting a haircut is no longer simply a matter of “when your hair gets long, it’s time to get a trim.” Hairstyles, appearance, personal style and service quality are increasingly becoming important aspects of modern men’s everyday lives. East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) is creating a distinction between simply “getting a haircut” and “experiencing a barbershop.” A well-suited hairstyle can transform a person’s appearance. A relaxing environment can turn an hour at a barbershop into genuine time for care and relaxation. And a barber who truly understands a customer can transform an ordinary haircut into a more personalized experience. This shift is driving the barbershop model in a new direction: from a place that simply provides haircuts to a space that brings together men’s grooming, relaxation and lifestyle. This is the experience that East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) – a Vietnamese men’s grooming brand is bringing to the Chinese market. From Vietnam to China: East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) Brings a Proven Model to a New Market Starting with its first store in 2018, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) has gradually expanded its network, standardized its operating processes and built a professional team in the men’s grooming sector. After years of development in Vietnam, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) began expanding into international markets, with China becoming one of the important markets in its international journey. In 2024, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) opened its first store in China, marking a transition from a brand developed primarily in Vietnam to one with an international presence. But entering a new market does not mean simply replicating an existing model. The Chinese market represents the next step in taking a model developed in Vietnam to the international stage. For a service brand, one of the greatest challenges of internationalization is ensuring that an experience developed in one market can resonate with consumers in another. East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) has chosen to preserve the core values of its model: A strong focus on customer experience, professional barbering expertise, thoughtfully designed spaces and a diverse service ecosystem. At the same time, it adapts and localizes its approach to meet the needs and consumption habits of Chinese consumers. East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) brings with it the experience accumulated through years of hands-on operations and applies it to a new market, where the model can be further tested, refined and developed. This is also how East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) approaches internationalization: Building its model in Vietnam, then testing and localizing it in the Chinese market. For Chinese consumers, this creates another option in an increasingly diverse men’s grooming market: A barbershop experience originating from Southeast Asia, yet designed around the needs of today’s modern customers. When a Haircut Becomes Part of a Lifestyle For many years, the criteria for evaluating a barbershop were relatively simple: Whether the haircut was quick and neat, whether the style met expectations, and whether the price was reasonable. But for younger consumers, these criteria are gradually changing. They may spend more time researching hairstyles that suit them. They are also paying greater attention to a barber’s technical expertise, consultation and communication, as well as the overall experience throughout the service. In particular, as the pace of urban life continues to accelerate, having time dedicated to oneself is increasingly becoming part of the consumption experience. As a result, the question a modern barbershop needs to answer is no longer simply, “How can we give customers a good haircut?” but rather: “How can we deliver the best overall experience for our customers?” East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop) is pursuing precisely this approach. Its customer experience is built around more than just haircuts. Customers can choose from services including haircuts, shampooing, facial and neck massage, hair restoration, perming, coloring, nail care and shoe cleaning. At some stores, the spaces are designed with facilities such as pianos, billiard tables, chess boards, reading areas, bars and fresh ice cream machines, creating a more diverse leisure environment where customers can relax before, during and after their services. In the future, as men become increasingly attentive to appearance, personal style and service quality, the boundaries between a traditional “barbershop” and a dedicated “men’s grooming space” are likely to become increasingly blurred. This is precisely the direction East West Barbershop aims to continue exploring. From Vietnam to China, East West Barbershop (Dong Tay Barbershop)’s international journey is about more than simply opening another store overseas. More importantly, it represents the process of a men’s grooming model developed in Vietnam adapting, evolving and creating new experiences for male consumers in China.

Canva partners with EBANX and Capitec Pay to unlock cardless subscriptions for South Africans

Via the integration with EBANX, Canva becomes the first merchant on Capitec Pay’s new recurring A2A payment SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, SINGAPORE, and STELLENBOSCH, SOUTH AFRICA – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – Canva, the global visual communication platform, has become the first international company to offer recurring subscription payments to South African customers via Capitec Pay, the account-to-account payment method built by South Africa’s largest personal bank — Capitec. The milestone is made possible through Canva’s ongoing partnership with EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services for emerging markets. South Africa: a USD 23 billion e-commerce market, largely cardless. The announcement represents a shift in how global subscription businesses can reach South African consumers. Credit card penetration in the country ranges between 8% and 10% of the adult population, according to the South African Reserve Bank and the World Bank. This limitation has historically restricted the reach of traditional card-on-file subscription models, excluding 44 million people in South Africa who do not own credit cards. Instead of needing a credit card, Capitec Pay lets clients approve a recurring payment once in the Capitec app. After that, participating businesses can collect future subscription payments automatically. Canva is the first international subscription service to offer recurring payments with Capitec Pay. Capitec is South Africa’s largest personal bank by customer base, with 26 million clients and over 16 million app users. According to Capitec, one in three South African adults uses its mobile app. “For Canva, going live as the first global merchant on this infrastructure is a removal of a structural barrier that was preventing a large portion of South Africans from accessing our platform at all,” said Bianca Sibiya, Canva Africa Lead. The offering of recurring payments through Capitec Pay by Canva in South Africa is possible thanks to its partnership with EBANX, which helped enhance the solution and became the first global payment service provider (PSP) to integrate it into cross-border payment flows. “For years, card-based billing has been treated as the default model for global subscription products, but that default was built around consumer behavior in the United States and Western Europe, not South Africa,” explained Wiza Jalakasi, Commercial Lead for Africa and the Middle East at EBANX. EBANX has become a leading enabler of recurring alternative payment methods (APMs) in cross-border digital commerce across the world. Including South Africa, the company supports recurring APMs across 12 emerging markets, enabling global merchants to reach more than 1 billion consumers, many of whom lack access to credit or debit cards. “Capitec’s philosophy is to ensure that our clients experience simple, affordable and innovative services. Recurring payments through Capitec Pay is just one of the many ways we bring that simplicity to life, offering clients a payment experience they already know and trust. Through this partnership with Canva, we are expanding our trusted payment experience and giving clients access to international merchants in an accessible way,” said Francois Viviers, Group Executive of Marketing and Client Experience at Capitec. South Africa’s digital commerce market continues to grow rapidly, reaching 74% of adults and annual growth projected at 20% through 2028, according to Payments and Commerce Market Intelligence (PCMI) data analyzed by EBANX. By that year, South Africa’s e-commerce market is expected to represent a USD 23 billion opportunity, based on PCMI insights featured in EBANX’s Beyond Borders study.

Captiva Verde Installing, Building and Launching the First Group of Water Stations for the Military and the Hotel Industry During This September of 2026

Jacksonville, Florida – Newsfile Corp. – September 3, 2026 – Captiva Verde Corp. (CSE: PWR) (OTC Pink: CPIVF) (the “Company or Captiva“) announces the launch of the first atmospheric water (“AWG”) stations for the Military and Hotel Industry during this month of September. Each unique facility and location will be separately announced via news release with the commissioning. One of the hotel groups is an American multi-national company that operates, franchises, and licenses lodging brands that include hotels, residential, and time-share properties. The company owns over 30+ hotel and timeshare brands, with 9,000 locations and over 1.5 million rooms across its network. The goal of the company, with respect to hospitality, is to have our AWG stations in every hotel possible. Brian Conlan, Captiva Verde CEO, states: “We are blessed to have the quality of the Military and Hotel Industry to showcase environmental stewardship. Water produced by the atmosphere is both purer than water from an aquifer or traditional bottled water. Additionally, every gallon produced from AWG prevents an identical gallon from being depleted from our highly stressed reservoirs. Purity and health meet conservation.” Our largest current model (up to 10,000+ gpd), Captiva Verde water stations, to be constructed across the world, cost a fraction of traditional infrastructure upgrades, but deliver pure, virgin water. This creates a new economy, a new industry, new jobs, and delivers pure water that is both “plastic-free” and produced “on location,” rather than being shipped for hundreds of miles. Our Origen stations are where sustainability meets purity. Here is the link to our two-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_pORF_ERIg The following link is our water toxicity map. Enter your zip code or use the interactive map to pick your zip code area in your state and click on the “contaminants” tab.

1win Charity Supports 35,000 Families Through Four Relief Initiatives Across Latin America

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 –1win Charity has supported approximately 35,000 families across Latin America through four humanitarian initiatives carried out in Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile in 2026. Over $100,000 was directed to emergency relief and recovery efforts, including emergency rescue equipment, construction materials, food, drinking water, medicine, hygiene products, and direct on-the-ground assistance. 1win Charity relief supplies distribution in Latin America The latest response followed the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10, 2026. The support from 1win Charity reached nearly 2,000 people, who received drinking water, food and hygiene kits, warm meals, blankets, sleeping mats, and first-aid supplies. A member of the 1win VIP community, Valentina Gómez, and Colombian creator Yeferson Cossio visited the affected communities to deliver relief. Earlier in the year, 1win Charity supported more than 8,000 families after the June earthquakes in Venezuela. Working alongside local emergency organizations, hospitals, and community leaders, 1win delivered food, water, hygiene products, medicines, and medical supplies across affected communities in Caracas, La Guaira, and Miranda. In Chile, 1win Charity carried out two major relief initiatives. Following extreme rainfall, winds, and storm surges in July, 1win Charity volunteers joined cleanup and debris-removal efforts in Quillón and Bulnes, while the organization provided rescue boats, drinking water, tools, protective equipment, and other provisions to communities and emergency teams. The response followed an earlier initiative in the wake of devastating wildfires in Biobío and Ñuble, which burned more than 34,000 hectares. At the beginning of 2026, together with professional boxer Andrés Campos and the Chilean National Content Creators, 1win Charity supplied drinking water and emergency kits. Combined, the two Chilean initiatives supported approximately 20,000 families. “For us, a long-term commitment to Latin America means being present all the time — during the happy celebrations and when communities face their most difficult moments. Our approach is to listen to local needs, work with trusted partners, and provide practical support where it can make a real difference,” 1win Charity representatives mentioned.

GM Klang Launches Port Seni, a New Creative and Cultural Destination in Klang

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – GM Klang has launched Port Seni, a new creative and cultural destination bringing together local art, craftsmanship, creative products and community under one roof. Representatives from GM Klang, Tourism Selangor and the local creative community at the launch of Port Seni, GM Klang’s new creative and cultural hub, on 29 August 2026. Launched on 29 August 2026, Port Seni is now open to visitors as a space to discover local creators, artworks, crafts and products that reflect the identity of Klang and Selangor. Inspired by Port Klang as a meeting point for trade, culture and journeys, Port Seni reimagines the idea of a “port” as a space where ideas, artistic expression and inspiration can meet and grow. The initiative also adds a new dimension to GM Klang, a destination long recognised for wholesale trade. The initiative was inspired and encouraged by Ms Chua Yee Ling, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Selangor, who recognised the potential for a dedicated destination where visitors could discover locally made products while gaining a deeper appreciation of the people, heritage and cultural character of Klang and Selangor. Four Elements, One Creative Destination Port Seni brings together four key elements: 1. Select Shop Operated by Api House, the Select Shop is a curated retail space featuring handmade products, artisan works and locally crafted items. It provides local makers and creative entrepreneurs with access to wider audiences while allowing visitors to take home products that reflect the creativity and character of Selangor. 2. Gallery The Gallery provides a platform for local artists to showcase their work and connect with new audiences. Its inaugural exhibition, Klang Art Harmony, features 61 artworks by 30 Klang artists, reflecting the diversity of styles, expressions and creative perspectives within the local art community. 3. Café — Coming Soon An upcoming café will complement the Port Seni experience with a welcoming space for visitors to relax, gather and enjoy food and beverages surrounded by art and culture. 4. Pulau Ketam Art Corner Dedicated to the artistic and cultural expressions of Pulau Ketam, the Art Corner introduces visitors to the stories, creative heritage and distinctive character of one of Klang’s unique communities. Beyond Retail and Exhibitions Port Seni is designed to go beyond conventional retail and exhibition spaces through programmes such as art exhibitions, interactive workshops, creative demonstrations and themed bazaars. These activities allow visitors to discover not only the products, but also the people, creative processes and stories behind them. For local artists, artisans and creative entrepreneurs, Port Seni provides access to wider audiences and opportunities to introduce their work and brands, gather market feedback and explore new collaborations. Connecting Local Creativity with Tourism Port Seni also aims to strengthen the connection between local creativity and tourism, giving domestic and international visitors another way to experience Klang and Selangor through local artworks, craftsmanship, products and stories. As a tourism ambassador for Klang, GM Klang sees art and culture as complementary to the city’s heritage and as another reason for visitors to explore Klang. Through Port Seni, GM Klang also hopes to contribute to the development of creative tourism in Selangor From Commerce to Creativity Port Seni reflects GM Klang’s ongoing evolution from a traditional B2B wholesale destination towards a B2B2C approach, continuing to strengthen its wholesale foundation while broadening experiences and opportunities for consumers, businesses and the wider community. GM Klang General Manager Chloe Tan Siang Hui said the evolution is about adding value to GM Klang’s established business ecosystem rather than moving away from its wholesale identity. “GM Klang has long been recognised for its strong B2B wholesale foundation. As business landscapes and consumer lifestyles evolve, we are moving towards a B2B2C approach while continuing to strengthen that foundation. Port Seni is part of this direction, bringing art, culture and local creativity into the GM Klang ecosystem while connecting local talent with wider audiences, markets and opportunities,” she said. The launch marks another step in GM Klang’s ongoing transformation beyond traditional commerce, bringing business, art, culture, tourism and community closer together. With its gallery, artisan retail space, cultural showcase, creative programmes and upcoming café, Port Seni aims to become a destination where visitors can discover local creativity, connect with the stories behind the works and take-home products reflecting the character of Klang and Selangor. Located at Pavilion 5, Block C, GM Klang, Bandar Botanik, Klang, Port Seni is a new destination where visitors can discover art, culture and locally made creative products all in one place.

When AI Helps Shape the Dream Trip, ONYX Hospitality Group Brings More of What You Love to Life

With 54% of travellers now confident using AI to plan or book travel, ONYX Hospitality Group highlights the role hospitality plays in turning increasingly personalised travel plans into meaningful real-world experiences. BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – “Three days and two nights by the sea, easy to reach, with great local food.” Today, a prompt this simple can help shape an entire holiday. Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how travellers discover destinations and plan their time away. According to Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2026 report, based on a survey of 22,000 travellers worldwide, 54% are confident using AI to help plan or book their travel. But while AI can help travellers define their ideal trip in seconds, it cannot create the experience itself. The memories that ultimately define a journey still happen in the real world: discovering a neighbourhood, tasting something for the first time, connecting with local people, spending uninterrupted time together or simply finding somewhere to slow down. For ONYX Hospitality Group, this shift towards increasingly personalised travel reflects the thinking behind its consumer promise, More of What You Love – recognising that the perfect trip means something different to every traveller. Across four distinctive hospitality brands – Amari, OZO, Shama and Oriental Residence – ONYX provides different ways to experience a destination, enabling travellers to turn what they are searching for on screen into experiences that reflect how they actually want to spend their time. For travellers who want to feel the destination: Amari For those asking AI to find somewhere rich in local culture, food and experiences, Amari, ONYX Hospitality Group’s upper-upscale brand, offers a deeper connection with place. Guided by its brand essence, Transforming Every Stay with Local Soul That Lasts, Amari brings destinations to life through Local Flairs, Curated Perspectives, Ari Service, and Soulful Gatherings & Inspired Exchange. From local flavours and cultural encounters to thoughtful recommendations and warm Thai hospitality, the experience is designed to help guests discover more of the destination while creating memories that remain long after they leave. For travellers who want to get out and experience more: OZO With the freedom to explore and enjoy each destination in their own way, travellers can make the most of their time at OZO. OZO, ONYX Hospitality Group’s lifestyle brand, is designed around comfort, energy and flexibility, creating stays that fit naturally with the different ways people travel. Well-considered rooms support a great night’s sleep, while lively spaces provide places to relax and enjoy activities, and fast and seamless connectivity makes it easy to stay connected. Because everyone unwinds differently, OZO gives guests the freedom to spend their time in their own way. They can head out to discover something new, enjoy the activities they love or return to the hotel to relax and recharge. Friendly and efficient service makes each stay feel familiar and effortless, helping guests feel at ease throughout their stay. Whether the plan is a packed weekend of discovery or simply enjoying the destination at an individual pace, OZO makes the hotel an effortless base for experiencing more. For travellers who want to live like a local: Shama As AI makes it easier to plan longer and more personalised stays, Shama responds to travellers who want time to settle into a destination rather than simply pass through it. Guided by The Joy of Living, Shama brings the familiarity and comfort of home to the journey, with spaces designed for guests to live, work and unwind naturally and in their own way. Guests can continue their everyday routines, enjoy the things they love and make time for themselves, while also connecting with the surrounding neighbourhood and community. Over time, guests can discover the places, people and everyday rhythms around them, making an unfamiliar destination feel more familiar and connected. This makes Shama more than simply a place to stay, but a space to live in the destination and enjoy the journey in their own way. For travellers who want to slow down: Oriental Residence For travellers whose ideal prompt includes tranquillity, privacy and space to recharge, Oriental Residence offers a different interpretation of luxury. Guided by its brand essence, Peace of Mind, and The Art of Intuitive Refinement, Oriental Residence combines residential comfort with thoughtful, discreet hospitality. Its Invisible Hand service philosophy anticipates guests’ needs without intruding on their personal space, creating a Sanctuary of Restoration where they can pause, recharge and find balance amid the pace of modern life. From personalised search to personalised experience AI may be making travel planning faster, smarter and increasingly personalised, but the rise of technology is also encouraging travellers to think more carefully about something fundamentally human: what do I actually want from my time away? For one traveller, the answer might be discovering a destination through its food and culture. For another, it might mean exploring from morning until night, living like a local for several weeks, or doing very little at all. That diversity sits at the heart of More of What You Love. As technology becomes increasingly sophisticated at helping travellers decide where to go, ONYX Hospitality Group is focused on what happens next – creating the places, experiences and human connections that turn the trip imagined on screen into one worth remembering.

Shopee Salutes Malaysia’s Local Champions in First National Day Parade

Datuk Seri Aliff Syukri leads Shopee’s inaugural contingent, with MadNor as flag bearer, in celebration of national pride and Malaysia’s entrepreneurial spirit KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – Shopee marked its first participation in Malaysia’s National Day Parade with a contingent celebrating the people helping to move the country forward, from home-grown entrepreneurs and digital creators to the employees supporting Malaysia’s growing digital economy. Shopee Malaysia Celebrates National Day at Dataran Putrajaya Leading the Shopee contingent was Malaysian entrepreneur Datuk Seri Aliff Syukri Kamarzaman, with content creator Muhammad Noor Zakaria, better known as MadNor, as flag bearer. They were joined by 45 Shopee employees from across the business. As the Shopee contingent made its way along the parade route, it was greeted with cheers and applause from spectators, marking a memorable National Day Parade debut for Shopee. Together, the contingent brought to life the spirit of Shopee Juara Lokal, Shopee’s Merdeka campaign celebrating the determination, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of Malaysians. Shopee’s first participation in the national parade was both a celebration of national pride and a salute to the local entrepreneurs and communities the platform has grown alongside in Malaysia. A Salute to Malaysian Entrepreneurship At the head of the contingent, Datuk Seri Aliff represented the entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of Shopee Juara Lokal. Founder of health and beauty brand D’Herbs and fondly known to many Malaysians as “Papa Terlajak Laris,” his journey reflects the ambition of local business owners who have built brands from the ground up and continue to find new ways to grow. “Before this, I was always just watching the parade from the sidelines, so to finally experience it for myself was really something special,” said Datuk Seri Aliff. “People may only see five minutes of the parade, but behind those five minutes are days of rehearsals, early mornings and a lot of teamwork. Once we were in formation, it didn’t matter what your title or background was – we were all Malaysians, celebrating Merdeka together. For me, that’s what made the experience truly meaningful.” Carrying the Shopee flag was MadNor, a Malaysian content creator known for his humorous, straight-talking advice to Gen Z on spending and everyday money matters. “Being able to represent Shopee at this year’s Merdeka Parade is something I’m really grateful for. I never imagined that my journey into the digital and content space would give me the chance to be part of an event like this,” said MadNor. “Marching alongside my fellow Malaysians in the Shopee contingent felt like I was representing everyone who took a chance on themselves and dared to dream bigger. To me, that’s what Malaysia is about – ordinary people doing extraordinary things.” For the 45 Shopee employees marching alongside them, the occasion was just as personal. Thines Kumar, described it as “an unforgettable experience” to march alongside colleagues and fellow Malaysians. On the other hand, Delphinie Chan who helped coordinate the contingent – beginning with recruitment, all the way until the rehearsals and the actual day – said seeing everyone’s hard work come together on parade day was “truly inspiring”. For Zulaikha Zainul, she finally fulfilled a long-held wish to take part in the parade. “I’ve always wanted to be part of the Merdeka parade. Growing up, I only got to watch it on screen,” said Zulaikha. “Having grown up overseas for part of my life, my friends always teased me for being ‘not Malaysian enough’, so I guess this was my chance to prove them wrong! It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a special way to feel the spirit of Merdeka.” The 45 employees represented the thousands of Malaysians working in Shopee behind the scenes to support buyers, sellers, and the wider e-commerce community. For Shopee, local entrepreneurs have been an important part of that community. Over the past decade, Shopee has supported Malaysian MSMEs at different stages of their journeys, from businesses taking their first steps online to established home-grown brands reaching customers nationwide and beyond. Moving Forward, Together Nik Emir Nik Din, Head of Public Policy and External Affairs, Shopee Malaysia, said: “Merdeka is a celebration of what Malaysians can build and achieve together, and of the people who will carry our country forward. Seeing an entrepreneur, a creator and our own employees marching together was especially meaningful because, in different ways, they represent the community Shopee has grown alongside in Malaysia. “Our first National Day Parade was an opportunity to celebrate that community and salute the entrepreneurial spirit we see across the country every day. Behind every home-grown business is someone who took an idea, acted on it and kept building, often through challenges and uncertainty. “As Malaysia moves forward, we want to continue doing our part by helping more local entrepreneurs strengthen their capabilities, reach more customers and take their ambitions further. Their success contributes not only to the digital economy, but to the communities and livelihoods around them.” Hashtag: #Shopee #Merdeka #ShopeeJuaraLokal The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Asia’s premier flower hub sets new benchmarks in trading scale and logistics efficiency

YUNNAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – The Dounan Flower Market in Kunming, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, is strengthening its position as a leading flower trading hub in Asia, with record annual trading volumes, high-speed auction operations and increasingly efficient international logistics. The Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center, a key trading platform within Dounan, begins daily trading at 1:00 p.m. Buyers can complete bids within as little as 0.6 seconds as prices decrease on electronic auction screens, enabling large volumes of fresh-cut flowers to be traded rapidly. The market experienced a significant increase in trading activity ahead of the Qixi Festival, widely regarded as China’s Valentine’s Day. Tens of millions of flower stems were sold to domestic and international markets during the peak trading period. According to the Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center, the average price of major fresh-cut flower categories reached 1.1 to 1.3 yuan per stem during the pre-festival period, approximately 15 percent higher than pre-festival levels. Premium flowers recorded substantially higher prices, with high-quality roses reaching nearly 15 yuan ($2.23) per stem. In 2025, Dounan recorded a trading volume of 15.476 billion fresh-cut flowers, with total transaction value reaching 13.484 billion yuan (approximately $2 billion). The market currently hosts 3,300 enterprises and more than 15,000 business entities and individual proprietors. Of Dounan’s approximately 70,000 permanent residents, 46,500 are employed in the flower industry. Approximately seven out of every 10 fresh-cut flowers sold in China originate from Dounan. Its distribution network now reaches markets across China as well as more than 50 countries and regions worldwide. High-Speed Auction System Dounan’s auction system is designed to accommodate the highly time-sensitive nature of fresh-cut flowers. “Field-grown ‘Purple Glow’ (75 percent maturity), 140 stems; field-grown ‘Beloved’ (80 percent maturity), 120 stems; ‘Beloved’ (75 percent maturity), 120 stems…” said Li Qian, a flower auctioneer at the Kunming International Flora Auction Trading Center. The trading center uses a descending-price auction model, with prices continuously decreasing on electronic screens. Buyers must respond within approximately 0.6 seconds, allowing transactions to be completed rapidly and supporting the high turnover required by the fresh-cut flower industry. “Since fresh flowers are perishable goods, we use a descending-price auction format. This helps facilitate rapid circulation,” Li said. The auction process is integrated with sorting, packaging and transportation operations, reducing the time between trading and shipment. Logistics Network Expands International Reach Fresh-cut flowers require particularly efficient logistics because their quality is highly sensitive to transportation and storage time. Tang Minghong, a client manager with the flower logistics division of SF Express Yunnan, said fresh flowers have among the most demanding logistics requirements in the fresh produce sector. Trading begins in the afternoon, while pickup, packaging and dispatch can be completed as early as 3:00 a.m., allowing flowers to move quickly from auction facilities into domestic distribution networks. For international shipments, Dounan has established logistics routes to destinations including Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia. Customers in these markets can receive shipments within two days, according to logistics operators. Strengthening Yunnan’s Global Flower Trade The combination of large-scale flower production, centralized trading, high-speed auctions and integrated logistics has enabled Dounan to develop a comprehensive supply and distribution network. The market connects flower growers in Yunnan with buyers and consumers throughout China and overseas, while supporting the expansion of the province’s fresh-cut flower industry into international markets. With billions of stems traded annually and distribution covering more than 50 countries and regions, Dounan is emerging as an important regional hub for fresh-cut flower trading and distribution, contributing to the international growth of China’s flower industry.
