KAO Malaysia and Universiti Malaya (UM) yesterday announced the successful completion of the “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” campaign with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formalising their commitment to advancing public health through skincare education and research.

As part of this collaboration, KAO Malaysia, through its leading skincare brand Bioré, is contributing RM50,000 in funding across two flagship initiatives led by Universiti Malaya. The first is a community engagement programme titled “Beautiful Change Begins with Us”, will be managed by the Universiti Malaya Community Engagement Centre (UMCares) focusing on hygiene awareness, environmental sustainability, and positive mental wellness for teenagers, adults, and children.

The second is a research collaboration for a project titled “Innovative Clean Skincare Formulations for Skin Protection and Healthy Living,” will be conducted by the Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya.

These efforts are part of KAO Malaysia’s 1% pledge of Bioré product sales to support local skin health research.

“This partnership reflects KAO’s commitment to going beyond product innovation to create
meaningful, science-driven impact in the communities we serve,” said Yamazaki Hirobumi,
President of KAO Malaysia.

“We believe that skin protection is not just a personal care choice, but a public health responsibility. Together with Universiti Malaya, we are proud to advance this vision for
the benefit of all Malaysians.”

A Milestone Partnership Between Academia and Industry
The MoU represents KAO Malaysia’s first academic partnership with an educational institution in Malaysia. Under this collaboration, KAO and UM will continue bridging science and public awareness to shape skincare as a foundational pillar of community health.

Guided by the shared vision of “Skin Protection, Life Perfection”, the campaign brought together KAO’s commitment to skin protection with UM’s research leadership in a shared effort to drive long-term community impact.

What began as a community-driven awareness campaign is now being extended through KAO’s funding support, enabling UM to strengthen its community engagement initiatives and advance research with enhanced equipment and resources for lasting benefits in skin
health and wellness education.

In line with the MoU, Universiti Malaya will lead new research initiatives and public education efforts focused on sustainable skincare.

“We are truly honoured to collaborate with KAO Malaysia in strengthening the bridge between science and society,” said Associate Professor ChM. Dr. Noraini Ahmad, Director of UM Community Engagement Centre (UMCares).

“This MoU marks a meaningful step forward, opening doors to transform academic research into real-world solutions – from advancing clean formulation development to fostering greater community engagement.”

The MoU was officially signed between the President of KAO Malaysia, Yamazaki Hirobumi and the Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Malaya, Professor Dato’ Seri Ir. Dr. Noor Azuan Abu Osman with the exchange taking place today witnessed by Watsons Malaysia.

The event was further highlighted by a symbolic donation handover, marking the shared commitment of all parties towards meaningful collaboration.

Laying the Foundation for Lifelong Skin Health
Launched in May 2025 in partnership with Watsons, the “Skin Protection, Life Perfection” campaign championed skin protection as the key to confidence. Powered by Bioré’s “Cleanse. Protect.” philosophy, the initiative combined expert education, engaging consumer experiences, and a 1% sales donation to support local research.

With Universiti Malaya and skincare professionals on board, Watsons brought the campaign to life nationwide with exclusive rewards and member perks. Now, with the MoU signed, this partnership moves forward with a long-term commitment to advancing skin health.

Midea, a global leader in smart home appliances, unveiled its latest INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite in Malaysia. The debut underscores Midea’s vision of appliances that fit seamlessly into modern homes while supporting healthier lifestyles through smarter design and advanced purification technologies.

“Homeowners today are looking for appliances that blend seamlessly into their spaces while delivering exceptional performance,” said Mark Tam, Managing Director of Midea Malaysia.

“The INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite are designed to do exactly that, helping families keep their food fresher for longer and facilitating effortless laundry care, all wrapped in a sleek, stylish design.

“We want families to enjoy everyday convenience without ever compromising on style.”

No More Compromise Between Function and Form
Both the INSTA-FIT Master Series and Laundry Suite embody Midea’s philosophy of enabling convenience and adaptability, showing that appliances can complement a home’s identity rather than dictate it.

“As kitchens and living spaces become more open and integrated, appliances are increasingly expected to disappear into the design rather than disrupt it,” said Iko In, Founder of iN Design Lab.

“The INSTA-FIT Master Series, with its seamless cabinetry integration, and the ultra-thin Midea Laundry Suite reflect this shift perfectly, proving that functionality never has to come at the expense of aesthetics.”

Global leading AI device ecosystem company HONOR has been recognized for its commitment to digital inclusion and innovation by winning two top accolades at the GSMA Digital Nation Awards 2025.

The award recognize outstanding achievements across the Asia Pacific region and HONOR was the only participant to receive two prestigious honors – the Excellence in Digital Inclusion Video Award and the Best Digital Nation Video Award.

The recognition was given for HONOR’s compelling awareness campaign, ‘Freeze for ALS, HONOR the Challenger’ which centers about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) disease.

The vdeo was lauded for showcasing the power of mobile technology in driving sustainability, digital inclusion, and innovation. It competed against 17 other shortlisted finalists before securing the top recognition.

ALS is a progressive neurological disease that often leaves patients with control only of their eye movement. To meet the needs of people with disabilities like ALS, HONOR developed an advanced multimodal AI eye-tracking technology which enables users to fully control their smartphones—from opening notifications to launching apps—using only their eyes, thereby achieving hands-free operation and significantly enhancing their digital accessibility.

“As the only participant received two GSMA APAC Digital Nation Awards this year, HONOR is
deeply humbled by this recognition. This highlights our unwavering commitment and positive impact in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable digital future globally and locally.

Indeed, HONOR MY Life, HONOR MY Future!” said Justin Li, President of HONOR South Pacific. Strengthening Digital Trust Through Strategic Partnerships and Advanced Security
Technologies During a keynote at the Digital Nation Summit Kuala Lumpur (ASEAN Edition) on ‘Cybersecurity and Digital Trust: Safeguarding ASEAN’s Digital Future,’ Li emphasised that effective and accessible security requires a combination of human-centric innovation and strategic partnerships.

“HONOR collaborates actively with regulators, platforms, and software partners to create a safer online environment. In Malaysia, we work closely with Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and MyDigital ID to enhance secure, seamless access to digital services while safeguarding user privacy,” he said.

He added that HONOR’s integration of its advanced AI Deepfake Detection technology, which detects fake and manipulated content during video calls, into its smartphones at no additional cost, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to user security, privacy, and digital trust.

“Cybersecurity is a fundamental necessity, not a cost. In emerging markets like ASEAN,
affordability matters. That is why HONOR continues providing the best devices at the best price.

HONOR’s popular mid-range X Series’ latest model, the X9d 5G, comes with security features such as Figerprint ID and Face Recognition,” he said.
