Scott's ‘Bright Little Explorers’ Experience Grown-Up Jobs At KidZania Kuala Lumpur!

Sunday, October 15, 2017

Kids grow and become more and more curious about the world around them. Scott’s Malaysia (Scott’s), part of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Consumer Healthcare Sdn Bhd, wants to champion children’s curiosity and help support their development by giving them a chance to have a fun, learning experience at KidZania Kuala Lumpur.

Scott’s is well known for its range of DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid) products such as the Scott’s DHA Gummies. DHA is an Omega-3 fatty acid which plays an important role in brain development, function and healthy vision[i]^,[ii]. This is particularly crucial as research shows that 90% of a child’s brain development takes place before they are six years old[iii].

“As children grow older, they are continually asking questions as a way to fulfil their never-ending curiosity. It is this curiosity that helps them learn new information and spurs their imagination. At Scott’s, we understand the importance of providing children with new fun and educational experiences as a platform for learning to enhance their development,” said Venaig Jegou, Area Marketing Director, Oral Healthcare and Nutrition, South East Asia.

Mouse mommy has the same feeling too as in 5 years old MR was full of curiosity and active in explore, experiment and experience together with me!

“Scott’s ‘Bright Little Explorers’ programme aims to trigger children’s inquisitive nature through on-ground activities that not only encourage them to be curious, but stimulate their development as well,” she said. Cool! This programme will be beneficial to all parents and kids!

MR was happily experience his profession as a firefighter to safeguard the hotel. Teamwork plays important role in this task. Other than able to get to know their job scope, MR also get to learn up the life values here such as cooperation, patience, listening skills and so on.

Besides that, MR also loves to be a photographer to snap and keep all the photos. MR can see the world via the camera lens and capture the moments in second. A photo says thousand words. MR shows mouse mommy the photos that he was captured!

“We are delighted to collaborate with KidZania Kuala Lumpur as part of this programme, and hope to give kids an opportunity experience being a ‘grown-up’ for a day. We are confident that through this experience, kids would be able to experience real-life occupations and learn to be independent, work in teams, as well as develop life skills,” she added.

“We often find kids being curious about the adult world and what they do. At KidZania Kuala Lumpur, kids will immerse themselves in a complete adult-like experience. They can take on any role they want and experiment first-hand what it’s like to role-play different professions including firefighter, chef, doctor, TV and radio host, to name a few.” said Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur.

“KidZania Kuala Lumpur is proud to participate in the Scott’s ‘Bright Little Explorers’ programme. We believe the purpose of the programme shares the same belief as KidZania in which is to provide kids with opportunity to be inspired and the platform to fuel their curiosity and be empowered to learn and grow,” he said.

From November 2017 until February 2018, Scott’s is giving parents an opportunity to redeem One Adult ticket and One Child ticket to visit KidZania Kuala Lumpur. Parents will have to collect six stamps in total (RM35.00 = 1 stamp) to redeem the tickets.

Buds For Kids | “Monstrously Good” And Fun Bath Time Experience For Kids!

Thursday, October 12, 2017

Buds Organics is changing the conversation around bath time with their newly launched organic ‘Buds for Kids’ range, now with a brand new look. Along with the addition of two new fruity shower gel scents, Raspberry and Tutty Fruity, comes entirely new packaging featuring four adorable new fuzzy monsters, guaranteed to make bath time a fun and memorable experience for kids.

Mr Soo also shared his experience that, "when I saw my children suffering from sensitive skin, I knew that I couldn’t stand around doing nothing. I took it upon myself to come up with a new formula, perfectly and completely safe for my children. I understood the difficulties that parents faced in finding good bath time products which would not aggravate their children’s sensitive skin and therefore I decided to introduce Buds Organics to the world”.

Unbeknownst to many, Buds Organics is a homegrown Malaysian brand born from a loving parent’s passion to protect his kids from all the harmful chemicals out there. Made by parents for parents, it originated from the home kitchen of founder Soo Kian Kheng, who was a chemical engineer prior to starting up Buds Organics with his sister, Soo Siew Peng. Buds Organics first started from Buds Baby, a line of products that Mr. Soo lovingly created for his baby. As his kids grew up, so did Buds Baby and eventually Buds for Kids was created.

Mr. Soo added that some parents do not realise the harm that they are putting their kids through. A majority of parents are not aware that conventional cleaning products contain chemicals which are too harsh for young babies and children. This leads to parents allowing their kids to use adult shower gels thus unintentionally exposing them to harsh chemicals from a very young age.

Mouse mommy has used Buds For Kids Shower Gel for baby MH and MR, they love it with the orange smell and feeling comfortable with it. Mouse mommy was no more worry as in the product was uses plant-derived cleansers, even baby MH and MR have a long bath times also do not cause any dryness or skin discomfort for my kids.

Buds Organics makes it their priority to bring parents’ attention to their children’s sensitive skin, therefore Dr. Amir Hamzah Dato’ Abdul Latif, was invited to the launch to shed some light on the topic of children’s skin. Dr. Amir is the Head of Allergy & Immunology Centre, Pantai Hospital, and the President of Malaysian Society of Allergy and Immunology (MSAI). He explained that children and babies have more delicate skin which is up to 30% thinner than adults’ skin, making them more susceptible to external irritants. “Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals contained in commercial shower gels or fragrances could possibly lead to rashes, allergic reactions, and even eczema in children. To avoid such reactions, special care has to be taken in choosing shower gels and shampoos for children,” Dr. Amir emphasised.

In order to bring to attention all the ‘nasties’ hiding in conventional cleaning products, Buds Organics encourages parents to have a proper look at the ingredient labels at the back of shower gel and shampoo bottles. Ingredient lists are usually ignored by consumers as the long lists of fancy, scientific names come off as intimidating and make little sense. One of the chemicals which was brought to attention was ‘Sodium Lauryl Sulfate’, usually disguised as ‘SLS’, a common chemical found in most cleaning products like shampoo, soap, shower gels, detergents, mouthwash, and toothpaste. It has corrosive properties (which is why it is used in floor and dish detergents!) and is a proven skin and eye irritant.

So strong was Buds Organics’ dedication towards protecting children from harmful chemicals that they would stop at nothing to reassure parents that their products were fully and truly organic. Mr. Soo willingly puts Buds Organics through extremely stringent checks twice a year by ECOCERT - one of the most recognised organic certification bodies in the world. Submission to ECOCERT is a promise to parents that Buds Organics products contain a minimum of 95% certified-organic plant based ingredients. For instance, instead of using artificial perfume to fragrance the shampoos and shower gels, only the purest natural essential oils are used. Buds Organics was the first Asian brand to be recognised by ECOCERT to have a full range of certified organic personal skin and hair care products.

One such parent whose life has been touched by Buds Organics was guest speaker Mary Anne Loh, founder of Wishing Star Malaysia, a platform where members of the public come together to realise the wishes and bucket lists of kids with terminal diseases.

During the launch, she showed her unwavering support for Buds throughout the years and how Buds has been with her kids especially through all their challenges with severe skin sensitivity. “Both my sons used to suffer from really sensitive skin. Their conditions have now gotten much better than before and for that I have Buds to thank. Buds is every bit as mild and safe as they said they would be,” shared Mary Anne at the launch. Since then, her children have graduated from Buds Baby and moved on to Buds for Kids. As she has seen first-hand the effects of harsh conventional shower gels on her children’s sensitive skin, she has become a strong voice in urging parents to be more attentive to the nasty chemicals hiding in their children’s bath time products.

Children from Wishing Star were invited by Buds Organics to join in the fun and spend the day at KidZania. These cancer warriors are fighting a huge battle of their own, and while there is no way we can come close to understanding their struggles, Buds Organics was happy to help in this small way to allow them forget their worries even if it was just for a few hours.

In celebration of their new look, Buds for Kids is inviting children to get to know their four new furry monsters. As of now, the monsters have not been named yet and have requested that their friends, the children, be the ones to give them new names. Buds for Kids will therefore be holding a contest via Facebook to allow kids to name all four of the monsters featured on the product bottles from 28 September 2017 to 31 October 2017. A fun weekend activity with our kids to brainstorming and get the special names for the Buds monsters!

FIRE-HOT | When Five-Chilli Rating Chillies Mix Up With Ayam Brand Chilli Tuna

Malaysians love their spicy chillies and Malaysians love their tuna. Ayam Brand™ has combined the two in its popular Chilli Tuna range for a healthy tuna delight that packs a spicy punch. Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna comes in three levels of spiciness: Light, Original and the latest addition, Fire-Hot.

Ayam Brand™, a household name in Malaysia and much of South East Asia for 125 years, is famed for its wide range of high quality, healthy and convenient canned food, with no preservatives and no added MSG. The brand’s ‘We Care, We Are Family’ campaign found that Malaysians love their chilli, prompting Ayam Brand™ to deliver its spiciest Chilli Tuna, yet.

Tuna is rich in Omega 3. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that humans need but which our body cannot produce. It plays a crucial role in brain function as well as in reducing the risk of heart disease[1].

Tuna such as in Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna, is a lean protein that is low in fat, making it ideal for weight-watchers. Ayam Brand also makes sure that its tuna quality meets the most stringent food safety regulations in the world.

Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna Fire Hot has a five-chilli rating that will have even well-seasoned chilli-lovers crying tears of joy! Be warned Fire Hot is seriously hot, with a warning on the can! Keep to the Original for a spicy, three-chilli rated kick. For a milder taste, try the Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna Light. With a two-chilli rating it has a hint of heat. Chilli Tuna Light can be an ideal option for weight watcher as it contains 33 percent less fat compared to the other Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna variants.

All three variants give you the benefits of sustainably fished tuna, with different levels of heat to suit your Malaysian taste buds. The Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna range is certified Halal by JAKIM.

Ayam Brand™ Chilli Tuna can be enjoyed in many ways. The easiest way is to eat them straight out of the can on a warm bowl of rice or spread it on a slice of bread.

For a fun treat, try Tuna Bergerdil. It looks like cute mini burgers. It is also perfect to impress your family or friends at your house party. The easy Sweet Potato Tuna Cake will go together with your favorite flavor of tea or coffee for an afternoon high tea.
