From Home to Hope: A Malaysian Mom’s Journey in Financial Empowerment and Transformed her Family’s Livelihood, One Parcel at a Time

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – In the heart of Malaysia, stories of resilience and determination define the national spirit. Through its ‘Cerita Kita, Cara Kita’ initiative, Shopee shines a spotlight on everyday heroes who embody this ethos, forging their own paths to success and challenging traditional norms. Today, let’s celebrate Megala A/P Suberamaniam and Thilagah A/P Selvarajoo. Their journeys prove that with the right opportunity, anyone can rewrite their future, with Shopee as the enabling platform. From left to right: Megala A/P Suberamaniam with her three children and Thilagah A/P Selvarajoo Megala: A Mother’s Unwavering Resolve Facing the constant pressure of a single income, Megala felt the weight of financial strain on her family of five. The challenge was compounded by her youngest child’s special needs, which required significant healthcare costs. “I wanted to support my husband and my three kids,” she shares, “so I began looking for a side income.” Having struggled with past jobs that didn’t fit her caregiving responsibilities, she knew she needed a new path, one that would allow her to be a provider without sacrificing her role as a mother. Megala’s search led her to the Shopee Residential Collection Point programme. This was the perfect solution with a flexible opportunity to earn an income from her own home. The programme’s seamless transition and low barrier to entry were ideal for a busy mother. She quickly began earning extra income each month, “I’ve been able to cover daily necessities like baby formula and diapers,” she says with a sense of relief. This role wasn’t just a job; it was an affirmation of her capability to contribute meaningfully to her family’s finances. Megala embraced her new role, converting a small part of her home into a collection point for Shopee. Initially, she faced doubts from family and friends, but her unwavering resolve, backed by her husband’s support, kept her going. The tangible results, her earnings covering critical expenses such as her daughter’s operation bills, soon silenced the skeptics. Through her efforts, her family’s financial stability has been visibly transformed. She now confidently contributes to the household income, securing a brighter future for her children and reimagining what’s possible for her family. Thilagah: Finding New Purpose in Seri Manjung In the serene town of Seri Manjung, Perak, Thilagah A/P Selvarajoo’s story echoes a similar sentiment of finding opportunity where it’s least expected. After leaving her job as a clerk and accounting administrator two years ago, she wanted to be fully present for her kids. “I wanted to take care and teach my children myself because babysitting costs were too expensive and far from my house,” she explains. Thilagah had long been searching for a way to have more control over her lifestyle and improve her family’s finances without compromising her time with her kids. Her search ended when she became a Residential Collection Point manager for Shopee. Having frequently used another collection point herself, she saw the potential and took a bold step forward. “I get to learn a lot and gain experience from working with being a Residential Collection Point Manager,” she shares. The commission she earns has become a vital boost to her family’s finances, providing her with a renewed sense of purpose and independence. Her role allows her to be more active and engaged in her daily life and housework, all while having a better work-life balance and being in full control of her life. For Thilagah, being an Residential Collection Point manager is more than just a job; it’s a way to contribute, grow, and feel empowered right from her own home. A Legacy of Hope Megala and Thilagah are living testaments to the power of taking a leap of faith. With the support of platforms like Shopee, they’ve transformed their lives and found financial empowerment on their own terms. Their success reflects the core of our Shopee Rai Lokal mission: to celebrate and empower Malaysians who defy conventions and forge their own paths to success. Whether it’s supporting a mother’s household income, encouraging families to come together, or boosting local micro-businesses, every self collection order supports the Malaysian community.

30 Years of BODY WORLDS – A Success Story That Has Changed the Way We See Ourselves

HEIDELBERG, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 15 September 2025 – Exactly 30 years ago today, on September 15, 1995, a new chapter in the history of exhibitions was opened in Tokyo — one that remains unparalleled worldwide: the premiere of the first BODY WORLDS exhibition at the Tokyo National Science Museum, held on the occasion of the 100th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Anatomical Society. Gunther von Hagens privat copyright: Institute for Plastination, Heidelberg/Germany What no one could have foreseen at the time: this opening marked the beginning of an extraordinary success story. BODY WORLDS made the invisible visible — for the first time, millions of visitors gained fascinating insights into the human body in a way that had never been possible before. Since then, more than 57 million people in over 170 cities and 42 countries across six continents have experienced the exhibitions. BODY WORLDS is now considered one of the most successful and influential exhibition concepts in the world. The foundation for this success was laid by Dr. Gunther von Hagens with the invention of Plastination. What was once reserved for medical professionals became accessible and understandable to all through his technique. Gunther von Hagens privat copyright: Institute for Plastination, Heidelberg/Germany “From the very beginning, my goal was to democratize anatomy. I wanted to give people the opportunity to look inside themselves – not to break taboos, but as an invitation to gain knowledge of, respect, and responsibility for their own bodies,” explains von Hagens. “BODY WORLDS has fundamentally changed the way we understand the human body and has contributed to a new culture of education about health and life,” adds Dr. Angelina Whalley, the exhibition’s curator, who has shaped the conceptual design from the start. Even three decades after its debut, BODY WORLDS has lost none of its relevance – thanks to its universal subject: the human being. In an age of rapid change, digital overstimulation, and constant motion, the exhibition offers a rare moment of pause and reflection. Even the harsh criticism at the beginning — which emerged solely in Germany — has not changed this. Today, BODY WORLDS provides direct access to one’s own body, promotes health awareness, and encourages people to take responsibility for their lives. It is precisely this combination of scientific education, personal relevance, and emotional impact that makes the exhibition timeless — and meaningful to every new generation. 30 Years of BODY WORLDS — a celebration of life that moves, inspires, and transforms people.
