  • Kempen ATLAS VENDING dan Kementerian Ekonomi Menyediakan Penyegar Dahaga RM1 untuk Rakyat

    ATLAS Vending Sdn Bhd, pengendali mesin layan diri dari Etika Sdn Bhd, salah satu pengeluar minuman jenama terkenal, telah mengumumkan pelancaran kerjasamanya dengan Kementerian Ekonomi dalam Kempen Penyegar Dahaga RM1.

    Sebagai pengendali mesin layan diri makanan dan minuman (F&B) terbesar, ATLAS Vending menetapkan misi untuk memperkasakan golongan berpendapatan rendah melalui penggunaan mesin layan diri yang tersedia di seluruh negara. Dengan melaraskan komitmen tanggungjawab sosial korporat (CSR) bersama dengan visi Kementerian untuk membantu lebih daripada 130,000 rakyat Malaysia miskin tegar, inisiatif antara kedua-dua pihak ini juga bertujuan untuk menangani inflasi dan pariti kuasa beli negara bagi menyokong ekonomi pekeliling.

    ATLAS Vending merupakan pengendali mesin layan diri F&B terbesar di Malaysia & Singapura dengan mempunyai kehadiran di setiap negeri. Impak yang dibawanya dapat dibuktikan melalui 3,210 mesin yang berada di bawah inisiatif IPR RM1 di seluruh negara dan menunjukkan komitmen mereka ke arah meluaskan perkhidmatan kepada orang ramai di seluruh negara.

    Pengumuman perkongsian ini dan pelancaran mesin layan diri telah diadakan di KL Sentral pada hari ini dengan kehadiran Menteri Ekonomi YB Rafizi Ramli. ATLAS Vending akan memperkenalkan mesin layan diri pertamanya di bawah inisiatif minuman IPR. Tersedia untuk pembelian pada harga RM1 ialah tiga minuman di bawah Etika Group; Pepsi Black, botol air mineral dan Revive Isotonic. Kesemuanya merupakan minuman sihat yang memenuhi garis panduan kerajaan dan membawa logo Healthier Choice.

    Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Etika, Santharuban Thurai Sundaram berkata “Kami percaya setiap langkah kecil boleh membawa perubahan yang besar. Dengan kerjasama ini, kami mengorak langkah untuk memperkasakan masyarakat kita dengan setiap teguk minuman. Hari ini menandakan satu peristiwa penting dalam perjalanan kami ke arah memberi impak positif kepada kehidupan rakyat Malaysia.”

    Beliau juga berkata “ATLAS Vending berbangga untuk memperkenalkan mesin jualan minuman RM1, dengan kerjasama bersama Kementerian Ekonomi Malaysia sebagai bukti komitmen kami terhadap Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat. Kami amat berharap untuk membawa perubahan kepada rakyat dan negara Malaysia. Kini, ia boleh dicapai melalui usaha kami menyediakan minuman dengan harga mampu milik kepada semua rakyat Malaysia.”

    Menteri Ekonomi, Yang Berhormat Tuan Rafizi Ramli berkata, “Matlamat kami adalah untuk menyediakan pilihan mampu milik kepada semua rakyat Malaysia dan memastikan semua orang dapat menikmati rehat seketika tanpa membebankan dompet mereka. Inisiatif ini bukan sekadar untuk menghilangkan dahaga; ia menyemai semangat perpaduan dan kemakmuran bersama. Sejak pelancaran inisiatif mesin layan diri di bawah IPR, ramai rakyat Malaysia daripada kumpulan berpendapatan rendah telah mendapat manfaat daripada pilihan makanan mampu milik yang disediakan oleh vendor yang mengendalikan mesin layan diri ini.

    Beliau juga berkata “Kami percaya bahawa inisiatif ini bukan hanya mengenai minuman RM1 sahaja; ia juga meliputi kerjasama bersama dengan rakan kongsi dan pihak berkepentingan untuk memberi fokus terhadap keterangkuman sosial dan kebajikan rakyat Malaysia, salah satu aspek di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12. Kami berbesar hati kerana mempunyai rakan kongsi seperti ATLAS Vending untuk menerajui inisiatif ini dan membolehkan pihak kementerian merealisasikan visi pengagihan manfaat yang saksama. Inisiatif ini merupakan salah satu langkah ke arah mencapainya.”

    Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat (IPR) telah dilancarkan pada Februari 2023 dan memberi tumpuan kepada strategi serampang dua mata untuk meningkatkan pendapatan keluarga miskin tegar dan B40 sambil menangani isu ekonomi harian secara serentak melalui inisiatifnya. IPR menumpukan usaha membasmi kemiskinan dan meningkatkan pendapatan rakyat melalui inisiatif dalam bidang pertanian, perniagaan makanan dan penyedia perkhidmatan.

    Di bawah IPR, pihak Kementerian memberi tumpuan kepada tiga modul utama untuk membasmi kemiskinan dalam kalangan golongan berpendapatan rendah. Ini terdiri daripada Inisiatif Usahawan Tani (INTAN), Inisiatif Usahawan Makanan (INSAN) dan Inisiatif Operator Perkhidmatan (IKHSAN).

    Dengan pengumuman perkongsian antara ATLAS dan Kementerian Ekonomi, minuman RM1 ini akan disediakan di seluruh negara di 3,210 mesin layan diri.

    Kepakaran ATLAS Vending melangkaui penyelesaian penjualan makanan dan minuman. Mereka juga memperkasakan jenama-jenama runcit melalui automasi mesin layan diri mereka seperti perkongsian mereka bersama Siti Khadijah yang menyenangkan pemerolehan keperluan ibadah bagi rakyat Malaysia.

    The TRON Boot Camp, which aims to introduce young minds (10–17 years old) to the wonders of aerospace, has been launched, according to Qreatif Lab Sdn Bhd. Parents and participants will be thrilled to hear that STEM and aerospace consultants designed the boot camp, which is especially intended for young students who are eager to learn about space exploration and its potential benefits for humanity.

    TRON Boot Camp is lined up with simulation experiential learning, rocket technology, maneuvering rovers, drones, and even 3D printing. Following the completion of the program, our young learners now called TRONNERS, will be graduated from the program with certificates at the Andromeda Base in Genting SkyWorlds.

    “Nurturing young ‘angkasawan’ talents is one of the main key areas of the National Space Policy 2030. With support from STEM and Aerospace experts, TRON Boot Camp is structured to entire their young minds to further explore this field. As a parent myself, I cannot wait to be able to mentor these young minds during the intensive 3 days program”, said Dato’ Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, Founder of TRON Boot Camp.

    The pilot TRON Boot Camp will be conducted in November this year while the full-fledged program will be made available in the next month. Envisioning a long-term sustainability plan for the program, Qreatif Lab is planning to make this program accessible for public and private institutions alike.

    “We are envisioning a Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar Space Camp for the young minds in 2025. TRON Boot Camp is a crucial stepping stone to understanding our young space dwellers and will further improve the program for years to come. We are also eyeing to offer this to our neighboring countries like Singapore and Indonesia”, said Pn Zarina bt Mohamad, Managing Director and CEO of Qreatif Lab Sdn Bhd.

    Meanwhile, Spencer Lee, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Genting Malaysia Berhad said, “As a purveyor of world-class events and adventure creation, we are certainly excited to co-host and be a venue partner for the inaugural TRON Boot Camp graduation ceremony and related aerospace activities high above the clouds at our platinum-rated attraction, Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park. Genting SkyWorlds is not just a place to have fun, but its also a place to learn and a perfect venue for team-building”.

    The participants will explore enchanting astronomy and space-related elements at the Al-Falak Complex in Melaka. “We are so excited to be able to offer our space as a venue for our future astronauts. The children will be spending the first two days of the program, including the opening ceremony at Al-Falak Complex. It is such an honor to be able to collaborate with QLSB, Dato’ Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar himself, and Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park for TRON Boot Camp”, added Puan Qistina Manager Kompleks Falak Al-Khawarizmi, Melaka.
