GUARDIAN GIVES BACK TO SOCIETY DURING FESTIVE SEASON

Guardian Malaysia recently organised several charity programmes to bring some
cheer to the unfortunate during this year-end festive season.

Jennifer Wong, Senior Manager, Corporate Affairs and Event, Guardian Health And
Beauty Sdn Bhd said:

“At Guardian, we always strive to give something back to the society we operate in.
At the end of the year, during the festive and holiday season, when most people are
with their families, some are not so fortunate not to do so. Hence we feel that it is a
very appropriate time to do it.”

Recently Guardian Malaysia treated 55 children from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak
Yatim Mary KL, a registered Home with the Welfare Department run with donations
from the public. It is a foster Home for children from poor families, dysfunctional
families, single parents and orphans

The 55 children were given the opportunity to shop for whatever they want at the
recently remodeled Guardian store at Berjaya Times Square and each received
presents including tokidoki cuddly toys.

Karyll Chee, a Guardian’s Face of Healthy Beauty winner was present to spend time
with the children at the Guardian store.

She said she was so happy that Guardian, in this season of giving, had given the
children the opportunity to shop for what they wanted and to experience the
pleasure of shopping.

“Seeing their happy faces really makes me feeling so grateful and blessed with what
I have,” she added.

In Kuching, Sarawak, Guardian had also worked with The Spring shopping mall
Kuching and Bintulu to deliver more than RM9000 worth of daily necessities for
Sarawak’s Children Cancer Society and Extrameal Bintulu. Guardian also visited
some children from Sarawak’s Children Cancer Society who are being treated at
Kuching’s General Hospital where they were given tokidoki plush toys to bring cheer
to them.

Additionally, Guardian customers also personally contributed their own cheer to the
needy by buying products at the Guardian store at The Spring Shopping Mall in
Kuching and Bintulu and dropping them off at the cashier counters to be delivered
to Hope Place Kuching, The Salvation Army and Extrameal Bintulu. This campaign
for The Spring Kuching ended on 18 December while for The Spring Bintulu, it will end
on 20 December 2019. These products will be collected and distributed to these
charity organisations at the end of December 2019.

My first time taking LRT from Hang Tuah and I asked the counter staff how to get back to Subang Jaya. The staff is helpful telling me to go LRT  Masjid Jamek to change.

Once get in the LRT Hang Tuah, the next stop is Pasar Seni. I checked again for the stops that I am going through as I want to make sure that I am on the right track. I am glad we car pool to the event as there is limited parking spots at the venue. I told my friend that there's a parking at the closed door area. Just nice as to park a car. As most car inside venue had double parking and limited movement, there's another car toward my friend's car which wanting to get out. I asked my friend to park at the closed door area, just nice as parked then the other car can just move its way out to the exit.

I was warned by my friend that beware at LRT Hang Tuah where I be heading as I need to walk up to there. Crimes happening there quite often, I quickly hurry to go LRT station didn't want to walk slowly.  The time was in the afternoon about 4.40pm.I reached home 5.30pm. The LRT trip for me coming back cost only RM3.80, if not mistake.

LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland model display at LEGOLAND

Come seek the Force at the LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland model display at LEGOLAND as we say goodbye! For 5 years, millions of LEGOLAND guests around the world have enjoyed experiencing the iconic saga by seeing scenes from each of the seven live-action STAR WARS™ movies replicated in 1:20 scale using more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks.

Since opening in 2014,  the LEGO®Star Wars™ Miniland model display has been popular for children and their parents,” said Kurt Stocks, General Manager at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort. “We are thrilled we were able to bring this generational experience to our guests and hope those who have yet to see it, or want to revisit with their friends, will come experience it before it leaves us in December and we prepare to build new memorable experiences for guests.”
 
The photo of my son was taken a few years back when we had our family trip there.
The LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland model display has taken park guests through scenes featuring eight planets: Naboo, with its capital city, Theed and the Royal Palace, home to Queen Amidala;  Geonosis, where Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker battle three ferocious creatures in the Geonosis execution arena;  Kashyyk, where the Droid Army’s amphibious assault on the home planet of Chewbacca and the Wookiees is depicted; Mustafar, where the fateful duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker takes place; Tatooine, where you’ll find the Cantina where Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi first meet up with Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon and his co-pilot Chewbacca;  Hoth, where the Empire sends massive walkers to attack the Echo Base and while Luke’s snowspeeder has crashed, the young  Jedi is seen using his lightsaber to single-handedly bring down a giant AT-AT; Endor, the forest moon which is home to the Ewoks and these small but resourceful creatures join forces with the Rebel Alliance to destroy the shield generator and prevent completion of the second Death Star; and Jakku, it is on this desert planet where Resistance pilot Poe Dameron receives a map to Luke’s location and Stormtroopers commanded by Kylo Ren raid the village and capture Poe before she escapes in a stolen TIE fighter with Finn. 

The individual film scenes were selected in close consultation with Lucasfilm Ltd. and drawings of the figures, spacecraft, vehicles, landscapes, etc. were taken as the basis for the detailed construction blueprints. STAR WARS sounds, actions and lighting effects help to make the models more lifelike.

Fly High and Carefree this Holiday Season with Swiss Image

The festive mood chimes in as our quest to clear annual leaves begin, and that can only mean one
thing - the year-end holiday season is finally upon us. The vacation plans you have been planning all
year long are finally coming to fruition, and you can’t wait to pack and make your blissful getaway a
reality. But just like a passport, your beauty regiment is just as essential, and Swiss Image is here to
help keep your skin nourished and well-hydrated throughout your travels.

Hailing from Swiss Image’s Essential Care range, the three key products to have this travel season are
Mattifying Face Wash Gel, Refreshing and Mattifying Toner, and Absolute Hydration Day Cream.
Together, they form the staple trinity of face care routines which are cleansing, toning and
moisturising - steps that are vital in achieving healthy and radiant skin.

Formulated with Swiss innovation and manufactured from one of the world’s purest ecological
environments, the three products contain Alpine Glacier Water, a holy-grail beauty ingredient only
found in the Swiss Alps, which allows users to enjoy its hydration properties, vitamins and minerals
that provide valuable nutrients for skin vitality. Its biologically active properties also allow the easy
absorption of rich essential minerals by all skin types.


Mattifying Face Wash Gel, 200ml – RM38.90

Swiss Image’s best-selling face wash provides a long-lasting mattifying effect without over-drying the skin in just a single step, so you won’t have to miss the next item on your travel itinerary. Specially formulated with the ingredients Hyssop and Alpine Glacier Water, the latter provides hydration and nutrients while facilitating the absorption of natural cleansing properties of the Hyssop that also improves complexion and balances oil levels, hence a recommendation for those with combination to oily skin. For best results, using it twice daily helps to deep cleanse and purify skin to achieve healthy and radiant skin.

Refreshing and Mattifying Toner, 200ml - RM38.90


Before moisturizing your skin, Swiss Image’s anti-shine Refreshing and Mattifying Toner cleanses
excess dirt and prevents the growth of unfamiliar bacteria in a foreign place. Also formulated with
natural extracts of Hyssop and Alpine Glacier Water, it is recommended for those with combination to oily skin types. Applying the toner twice a day using cotton pads onto cleansed face and neck area
while avoiding the eyes will result in your skin feeling fresh all day long. The matted look adds a
velvety finish to your skin for all your photogenic travel photos. Additionally, it tightens pores and
reduces signs of tired-looking skin.

Absolute Hydration Day Cream, 50ml - RM48.90


The final step to a principal day skincare routine, Swiss Image’s Absolute Hydration Day Cream is
enriched with natural botanical extract Edelweiss and Alpine Glacier Water. Staying out all day in a
different country could take a toll on the skin, but this cream provides long-lasting hydration and
nourishment to keep you looking radiant on your adventures. Harsh weather is no longer a problem
with its SPF filter qualities, while also protecting the skin against environmental aggression and
ultimately improving skin complexion.

Malaysian travellers can now experience the benefits of using unique and premium ingredients during
their travels this holiday season with these three key products from the Swiss Image Essential Care range that highlight the fundamental 3-step skincare routine for skin protection, nourishment and an

The #JelesEk Festival
Inspired by the #JelesEk opening campaign that is a homage to iconic Johorean traits, a key highlight of the festival is a live performance of the #JelesEk anthem on the 16th November 2019. This will be performed by Johorean stars, Joe Flizzow and Joyce Chu who created a special music video for Toppen. The song is also central to Toppen’s #JelesEk TikTok challenge. In the first collaboration between a shopping centre and the leading destination for short-form mobile video, Toppen invites the public to dance and lip-sync to its song. Participants will stand chance to win RM10,000 worth of prizes. As part of the partnership with TikTok, visitors can enjoy TikTok-able spots through the shopping centre, which will also host the annual TikTok Creators Day on 17th November 2019, gathering 80 of the platform’s top influencers across Malaysia and Singapore, to create fun and creative content around Toppen. Also, on the 13th, 16th, 17th, 23rd, and 24th November 2019, visitors are encouraged to participate in a treasure hunt organised by TikTok.


The Topp
The centre’s crown jewel rooftop known as The Topp plays a key role in hosting the festival. Designed specifically for the diverse community, there is something for every visitor. For thrill-seekers, the youth active zone features a skate park, parkour zone, and wall climbing area, while those who are looking to go on a gastronomical journey can enjoy a variety of local and international food from the alfresco eateries. The interactive outdoor space also includes a multi-purpose court, an event piazza, a rooftop garden, kids’ water-play area, the region’s first permanent outdoor cinema, and an e-sports arena for a great day out with friends and family.

“When we had the vision to create Toppen, we knew that it cannot be just another shopping centre. We wanted to create a meeting place that can contribute positively to the surrounding neighbourhood”, said Christian Roejkjaer, Managing Director of IKEA Southeast Asia.


He further added, “We built Toppen with the community’s interest in mind. Together with the help of local authorities and groups, we have all put a conscious effort in celebrating what makes Johor unique. We are proud to house both local and international brands, while creating a hub where home-grown Johorean talents and communities can come together to share and create.”


Community-Friendly Facilities
Anchored by IKEA Tebrau, the 1.25 million square-feet shopping centre offers four levels of ‘retailtainment’ experiences. With 300 shops ranging from household names like Ben’s Independent Grocer (B.I.G.) and TGV Cinemas, 80% of Toppen’s offerings are new-to-Johor brands such as The Pantheon, 9 to 9, and Concept Haus. Toppen will operate alongside 90% of its tenants opening on the same day.


The new lifestyle hub is easy to reach with accessibility to major roads, public transportation, and ample parking with over 4,600 spaces across two levels. Toppen was also inspired by its Scandinavian roots, featuring spacious and clean designs with lots of natural light, and greeneries, making it an enjoyable place to spend any day.


Joakim Hogsander, General Manager of Toppen Shopping Centre explained, “With a name like Toppen which means ‘great’ in Swedish, we strive to exceed expectations at every turn. Besides understanding the needs of the people, we also acknowledge that every customers’ journey is unique to their own. Therefore, we look at offering appropriate, concise and customized offline and online services to make each shopper’s experience more personal and positive.”



Toppen Shopping Centre is the third anchored-by-IKEA shopping centre in Malaysia and the fourth in Southeast Asia. Following the success of other IKEA Stores and shopping centres in the region, Toppen is set to be the prime meeting place that creates a better everyday life for the many people. It is projected to attract more than 15 million residents and tourists by the year 2020.


Toppen Shopping Centre is a 1.25 million square foot meeting place anchored by the only IKEA store outside of the Klang Valley. The rooftop, known as The Topp, is home to the first-of-its kind community hub with everything from skateboarding and rock-climbing to alfresco dining and cinema. The centre is one among the portfolio of centres owned by IKEA Southeast Asia. Together with IKEA Tebrau, Toppen delivers a fun day out for the many people of Southern Malaysia and beyond.
