Strengthening its ecosystem, Shopee connects affiliates and brands to help shoppers enjoy 

Lagi Murah and Lagi Cepat deals.

Affiliates wave the Malaysian national flag at Shopee House 

For the first time Shopee’s flagship event, Shopee House, welcomed affiliates from every channel, including Shopee Live, Shopee Video, and YouTube Shopping, at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur last weekend. The two-day activation brought together 500 top-performing affiliates who were matched with over 70 local favourite brands to connect, collaborate, and create content, empowering Malaysians to shop Lagi Murah and Lagi Cepat ahead of Merdeka and the 9.9 Sale.

Demonstrating the impact of these collaborations, livestream affiliates are set to host over 1,050 livestreams featuring participating brands leading up to 9.9. These sessions will include product demos, interactive Q&As, and real-time promotions to drive awareness and excitement for brands like Ozel and BigPlus.

Marking their third participation in Shopee House, Ozel, a jewellery brand from Kelantan with an established presence across Southeast Asia, shared their positive experience. “Through Shopee House, we were able to connect with a loyal customer-turned-affiliate who not only knew our products very well, but believed in them too. In fact, one of our affiliates achieved RM30,000 in sales just last month. This shows that when customers truly connect with a brand, they don't just buy from it; they grow with it, building trust and creating long-term success together.” commented Ozel.

Meanwhile, BigPlus, a Malaysian brand specialising in cleaning products and solutions, made its Shopee House debut. The brand cited, “Our experience at Shopee House was truly amazing, it gave us the chance to connect with a diverse group of affiliates, share product knowledge, and exchange valuable perspectives. We’re especially grateful to have engaged with over 400 affiliates who registered with us during the event, and look forward to continuing this collaboration.”

Shopee also organised roundtable sessions with key affiliates during the event, in line with the brand's commitment towards inclusivity and supporting local content creators.

Nur Afifah binti Rosli shared her experience as an affiliate during the roundtable. “Shopee has given me the space, tools, and support to grow from a part-time affiliate into a full-time content creator. Along the way, I’ve learned how to create content that resonates better with my audience, build stronger connections in the community, and at the same time, support local brands by bringing their products closer to Malaysians.”

YouTube affiliate Lex said during the roundtable, “It means a lot to have a platform like Shopee that listens to our feedback. Being part of this dialogue makes me feel valued, and I’m grateful to contribute towards shaping a better space that will empower future affiliates to grow with even more opportunities.”

“As 9.9 Super Shopping Day draws near, Shopee House highlights our dedication to enhancing the online shopping journey for Malaysians,” said Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “By successfully matching 500 affiliates to more than 70 brands, we continue to bring non-stop deals directly to buyers.  This ensures Malaysians can continue to enjoy Lagi Murah deals and Lagi Cepat delivery with the products they love, all while shopping with greater trust, satisfaction, and convenience.”

Starting from 26 August 2025, join Jojo Ghazali and other content creators as they celebrate 9.9 Super Shopping Day where Malaysians can enjoy exciting offers, such as  50% Off Daily Lagi Murah deals, Free Shipping with no minimum spend, and Shopee Lagi Cepat Guaranteed Next-Day Delivery.

The Services That Make a Difference – Your Physio’s Approach

They say prevention is better than cure — and when it comes to health, this couldn’t be more true.

Catching a problem early often means shorter recovery time, less discomfort, and better long-term outcomes. This is especially important for children with special needs or rare conditions, where early intervention can make a world of difference. Physiotherapy plays a vital role here — not only treating existing issues, but also preventing future complications by building strength, improving posture, and enhancing mobility before problems become more serious.

At Your Physio, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Sessions are customised to each adult and child’s unique abilities, challenges, and health needs.

 

Some key services include:

1. Musculoskeletal & Joint Care – To reduce stiffness and improve movement.
2. Sports & Functional Training – Play-based exercises to build strength and coordination.
3. Scoliosis Treatment – Managing spinal curvature issues to improve posture and comfort.
4. Women’s Health Physiotherapy – Supporting mothers in recovery so they can better care for their children.
5. Stroke & Neurological Rehab – Adapting neuro-rehab techniques for children with developmental delays.
6. Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Gentle techniques to reduce swelling after surgery.
7. Dry Needling – For muscle relaxation and pain management when appropriate.

 

Helping Parents Overcome the Journey

Physiotherapy also equips parents with skills to support their child at home — from safe lifting techniques to guided home exercises. It transforms therapy into a partnership, where parents and therapists work together toward shared goals.

The process can be physically demanding and emotionally draining, but having the right guidance turns uncertainty into progress, and progress into hope.

 

Why Physiotherapy Matters for Children with Special Needs

Physiotherapy is not just about physical recovery—it’s about opening new doors:

• Improved Mobility & Coordination
  Children with low muscle tone or balance difficulties benefit from structured exercises that strengthen core muscles and refine movement.
• Boosted Confidence & Independence
  When a child walks to the playground or climbs stairs, it’s more than muscle at work—it’s pride in their own abilities.
• Developmental Support
  Early intervention helps children catch up on key milestones, supporting both social engagement and emotional growth.
• Enhanced Family Well-Being
  Parents learn safe handling techniques and in-home exercises, transforming therapy into a shared journey toward independence.

A Community of Care

Children with conditions like Williams Syndrome and other rare disease often require multi-disciplinary care. Your Physio works in collaboration with doctors, occupational therapists, and speech therapists to ensure the child’s overall well-being is addressed.

In many cases, physiotherapy not only improves muscle tone and balance but also sparks newfound joy — from dancing to music to joining family outings without fatigue.

The Gift of Movement

Physiotherapy doesn’t erase a rare condition, but it opens doors. It helps children explore their world and parents rediscover the joy of watching them do so.

Every small step forward is a victory worth celebrating — and physiotherapy makes those steps possible.

From Night Markets to Nationwide Success

How E-Commerce is Changing Lives Across Malaysia

Shopee’s enhanced logistics solutions and buyer-friendly features help local entrepreneurs thrive and connect with customers everywhere

Behind every online purchase is a story of determination, resilience, and dreams realised. For many Malaysian entrepreneurs, platforms like Shopee have become catalysts for transforming humble beginnings into nationwide success stories. With robust logistics programmes and seamless nationwide connectivity, Shopee empowers local sellers to expand their businesses beyond traditional boundaries while providing buyers with unparalleled convenience, trust, and satisfaction

Entrepreneurs like Muhammad Afiq bin Mohamad Arshad and Faizah Milin of A&F Berkat Borneo, Sarini Zainal Abidin of The Pastels Shop, and Suriana Ali Endut of Kimchi Suren Suria, are reaching new heights. Their inspiring stories highlight how  Shopee is helping to connect them with customers across the country by fostering community growth and bringing joy with every package delivered.

“Our mission is to support the dreams of sellers and meet the needs of buyers. Stories like those of Afiq and Faizah, Sarini, and Suriana inspire us to continue innovating and investing in solutions that make a positive difference in people's lives. As Shopee continues to expand its services and capabilities, we remain committed to fostering economic development, supporting local businesses, and enhancing the shopping experience for all Malaysians,” said Tan Ming Kit, Head of Marketing and Business Intelligence at Shopee Malaysia.

A&F Berkat Borneo, founded by Afiq and Faizah from the Klang Valley, transitioned from selling dried produce and specialty goods  at local night markets to establishing a thriving online business on Shopee. In the past, the couple’s business was often affected by unpredictable weather and customer turnouts, making financial stability a constant struggle. Seeking a more reliable path, they turned to Shopee in 2018, where they experienced remarkable growth –  from RM80,000 in their first year to a projected RM500,000 by the end of 2024.

“We used to worry whenever it rained. Fewer customers meant less income, which made it challenging for us to support our family. Shopee has opened doors we never knew existed. Their logistics solutions have revolutionized our business, enabling us to efficiently deliver our products to customers across Malaysia. Now, even on rainy days, we can connect with key markets like Johor, giving us a more stable income that has truly changed our lives in ways we never imagined,,” said Faizah, co-founder of A&F Berkat Borneo.

Their expansion has benefitted not only their business but also elevated the shopping experience of their customers. Fatiha, a 35-year-old analyst from Kajang and frequent buyer from A&F Berkat Borneo, shared: “Shopee’s fast delivery consistently exceeds my expectations. I can always count on receiving good products that are ready to use, which is essential for my cooking. The convenience  and reliability keep  me coming back for more. I also appreciate the detailed product information and how easily I can reach out to Mr. Afiq through the chat function on Shopee for advice and recommendations. It truly makes the entire shopping experience effortless and enjoyable.”

A&F Berkat Borneo's success has also benefited suppliers from Kedah, Perak, Penang, and Johor. Increased demand has enabled these suppliers to expand operations, hire new staff, and invest in better transportation. Beyond scaling their business, Afiq and Faizah are also empowering housewives in their community by mentoring them on how they can earn side incomes through Shopee’s Affiliate Program, promoting  financial independence and contributing to the overall growth of their community.

Meanwhile, The Pastels Shop, founded by skincare enthusiast Sarini Zainal Abidin, leveraged Shopee’s logistics infrastructure to scale nationwide. What began as a local business has now grown to include a flagship store and a warehouse, creating over 70 part-time jobs, especially for residents in  areas such as Banting and Shah Alam.

"Shopee's robust and expansive logistics network was key to our growth, helping us scale our operations while contributing to local job creation," said Sarini. Despite their Klang Valley base, Shopee’s reach allowed them to penetrate competitive markets like the East Coast, effectively overcoming logistical challenges to deliver skincare products efficiently and reliably.

Customer trust has also been instrumental in their success. Hanisah, a 24-year-old student from Kuala Lumpur, shared: “Shopping on Shopee gives me peace of mind. I can easily manage and track my orders. My purchases from The Pastels Shop usually arrive within 1-2 days, and I love the 15-day free returns policy, which means I can return products with no questions asked if needed. It makes the whole experience even more stress-free.”

Hanisah, a loyal follower of Sarini since 2019, also enjoys engaging with the brand through Shopee Live. “The live sessions offer great insights and exclusive deals. While I love testing product formulas and textures in stores to find the right fit for my skin, I always choose to buy on Shopee for the great discounts and reliable delivery. It just makes shopping so much easier.”

Kimchi Suren Suria, a home-based kimchi business led by Suriana Ali Endut, also scaled rapidly through Shopee’s support. Suriana has adeptly navigated the complexities of shipping  perishable goods like kimchi to distant regions, including Sabah and Sarawak, turning logistical challenges into opportunities for growth.

"Shopee’s logistics network enabled us to ship our kimchi nationwide, even to remote areas," said Suriana. This strong logistical support not only broadens her customer base but also fosters meaningful connections with food enthusiasts across the country. This capability has helped her set her brand apart from others, enabling her to reach customers who previously had limited access to quality kimchi. Thanks to her improved earnings from Shopee, Suriana has also been able to invest in better equipment, improving production efficiency. The financial stability gained has also helped her to  secure a car loan, enhancing both her business operations and personal mobility.

As Malaysia’s leading e-commerce platform, Shopee continues to innovate and collaborate with key logistics partners to ensure faster, more reliable deliveries for sellers and buyers across the nation. With its On-Time Guarantee, Shopee promises timely deliveries and offers compensation for delays, ensuring a seamless shopping experience. From enabling rural sellers to reach new markets to transforming local businesses into nationwide success stories, Shopee remains committed to driving economic growth and creating opportunities for all Malaysians.

AmLife Rolls Out A CSR-Driven Rehabilitation and Regenerative Centre In Celebration of Its 10th Anniversary

Associate Professor of University Kebangsaan Malaysia Reiterates The 90-Day Golden Window As Key For Effective Stroke Recovery   

Sleep health specialist AmLife International marks its 10th anniversary celebration with the debut of its unique rehabilitation and regenerative centre driven by CSR - designed to create a meaningful impact on the lives of Malaysia’s seniors affected by modern degenerative diseases, especially stroke in the country. 

The United Nations has projected Malaysia to become an aged nation by 2030, with 15 % of the population comprising the elderly. As societal aging intensifies, healthcare costs rise, further increasing the burden on society. Therefore, the health status of seniors requires urgent attention.

Seniors face various age-related issues such as muscle loss (Sarcopenia), cardiovascular setbacks as well as stroke. Globally, 15 million people suffer from stroke each year. In Malaysia, degenerative diseases are on the rise, with stroke ranking as the third most common cause of death with an estimated 50,000 new stroke cases annually. Research indicates that up to 80% of strokes are preventable through lifestyle changes, including quality sleep and proper healthcare interventions.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019 highlighted that individuals with insomnia have a 30% higher chance of developing cardiovascular issues, including stroke. Quality sleep is key to repair and regenerate the body, which would cushion cardiovascular and degenerative diseases.

Founder and President of AmLife Mr. Lew Mun Yee said that the company has helped countless people regain their health over the past decade through its sleep health education and healthcare solutions. “During this journey, we discovered that sleep disorders can affect cardiovascular health, thereby increasing the risk of stroke. Stroke is not just an individual problem; but one that cripples families physically and financially. 

“To mark AmLife's 10th anniversary, we are investing RM1.4 million to establish AmHope – a rehabilitation and regenerative centre designed to help seniors overcome the challenges of stroke and other physical health issues, enabling them to live a dignified and quality life. AmHope represents a significant advancement in stroke rehabilitation and a beacon of hope for those facing these challenges.

The 90 days following a stroke are a critical period for brain recovery, and engaging in rehabilitation during this time significantly increases the chance of full recovery. Unfortunately, many stroke patients miss this crucial window due to financial constraints, resulting in lasting physical impairments. To address this issue, AmLife offers substantial financial aid to assist stroke patients facing such challenges. Patients who present a hospital medical report of their stroke can receive physiotherapy for only RM30 per session (normal market rate is RM150 per session). This 80% financial relief also applies to all equipment and high-function treatments at the centre. The unique aspect of AmHope rehab centre is that it allows those who can afford to pay for treatment to access high-quality and cost-effective care, while their fees help finance treatments for those who cannot afford them—embodying a charity-inspired model of care.

It is a known fact that recovered stroke patients will likely encounter a second stroke within three to five years after their first recovery. AmHope offers pioneering technology in the form of HPHT (High Potential Hydrogen Therapy) to help lessen or prevent the chance of experiencing a second encounter with stroke. In addition, the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can accelerate healing process for various conditions, including chronic wounds, injuries (including brain). One can also benefit from AmLife’s signature Japanese patented technology – the Electric Potential Therapy which recharges the body’s regenerative and cardiovascular abilities while one is resting or sleeping - which is most suitable for immobile stroke patients.

As of now, we have a shuttle service solely for transporting customers. This service offers an alternative for those facing transportation issues, with a fee of RM1/km. In the near future, AmHope will roll out a mobile truck which houses various rehab equipment to serve the local  communities,“ said Mr. Lew. 

According to Associate Professor Dr. Khoo Ching Soong from the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, recovering from a stroke is different for everyone. However, the first 90 days are essentially a critical time window. During the first few months after a stroke, patients need intensive rehabilitation to help recover or improve their motor, speech, and cognitive functions, lifestyle changes, and mental health support for the best chances of their stroke recovery.

“We have many methods to facilitate their stroke recovery. In addition to rehabilitation therapy and exercise, there are alternative ways to help stroke patients to recover their functional independence such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which is a non-invasive medical procedure, holds the potential to benefit a range of motor and cognitive outcomes after a stroke,” said Dr. Khoo. 

As adverse as it seems, stroke doesn't have to be the beginning of the end. According to the American Stroke Association, approximately 10% of stroke survivors recover almost completely, and 25% recover with only minor impairments. Many continue to improve over time, and with intensive, targeted rehabilitation, functional recovery can be possible even years after the event. The proportional recovery rule suggests that, on average, patients can regain around 70% (+/-15%) of lost function within 3-6 months after a stroke.

Keeping active is key too. A decade-long study involving over 16,000 healthy men revealed a striking finding: those with higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness had a 68% lower risk of stroke and stroke-related death compared to those with the lowest fitness levels. 

Director of Senior Care at AmHope Dr. Choo Hao Jian advised that when it comes to preventing non-communicable diseases, especially stroke, few interventions are as effective and universally beneficial such as keeping active and having regular exercise. As a Regenerative Medicine and Geriatric Wellness Specialist, he said, “keeping mobile and active to avoid being sedentary and prevent many cardiovascular and muscle loss issues helps in avoiding a stroke. Even for those recovering from a stroke or dealing with old injuries, physiotherapy and rehabilitation are essential, helping them regain mobility and return to an active lifestyle,” said Dr. Choo.

A Safer Space for My Kids Online with the new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Kids Edition

There is concern at times when my kids are now at their teenage years and exposing to contents in youtube has been sometimes too much. Especially when we are not at home to monitor them, it has become really difficult and we do not know how much adult content, horror and unintended for kids content they had watched. Not to mention, how much they share online that leads to their safety worries me. 

We had literally exposed them to so many information from the internet and without parental control and with them often spending significant time on digital devices give us a wake up call. 

Recently, we had gotten the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Kids Edition, with an advanced parental control features. It comes with kid-friendly accessories - Kids Puffy Case, Crayon Stylus, 15W Travel Adapter, and Kids sticker. It has an 8.7-inch vibrant display and 5,100 mAh battery, plenty of engaging educational content tailored for my kids. 

With parental control feature, I am able to manage their screen time effectively, helping my children maintain a healthy balance between digital and offline activities, while also safeguarding them from accessing inappropriate content.

April now only has an hour on gaming apps each day and I am blocking her access to social media sites. This app provides built-in safe browsing and a curated app store, allowing my children to explore the internet safely with age-appropriate content. There are wide range of engaging content, including educational games and interactive stories, all within a secure environment. 

Samsung Kids app comes pre-set within the Galaxy Tab A9 Kids Edition, this is where we parents, are able to create profiles for each of our children and personalize their settings individually. I could add apps tailored to their interests or skills related to thinking, science, and math, personalize the app's background with my children favorite colors or photos from the gallery. Best is, I can now set specific screen time limits, restrict access to certain apps, and monitor online activities. 

Love that the build in apps is so interactive and engaging, I would feature this in my IG reel review soon. Example the sushi game let your kids choose ingredients, cut the vegetables, blend and cook it with your control over small and big fire on the hob. Some other games include IQ games, musical, personal grooming games and many more!
