  • 23 RAKAN STRATEGIK MENYERTAI KARNIVAL BARANGAN MALAYSIA (KBM) 2023 DI SELURUH NEGARA

    Hari ini saya berkesempatan menghadiri Majlis Perasmian Jelajah Mini Karnival Barangan Malaysia 2023 Zon Sabah yang berlangsung bermula pada hari ini 15 September 2023 sehingga 17 September 2023 bertempat di Imago Shopping Mall, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

    Penganjuran Jelajah Mini Karnival Barangan Malaysia 2023 Zon Sabah ini adalah bertujuan untuk menggalakkan rakyat di Negeri Sabah ini memberi keutamaan kepada barangan buatan tempatan dan merupakan salah satu inisiatif Kerajaan melalui Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup (KPDN) di bawah Kempen Beli Barangan Malaysia (KBBM) 2023.

    Pada hari ini terdapat 20 pempamer yang turut sama dalam menjayakan Jelajah Mini KBM 2023 Zon Sabah ini dengan produk-produk yang dibawakan merangkumi kepelbagaian produk atau kluster yang memperlihatkan keunikan negeri Sabah.

    Pelaksanaan KBBM pada tahun ini adalah langkah tepat Kerajaan melalui KPDN dalam meneruskan usaha bagi memartabatkan barangan Malaysia dikala isu peningkatan kos sara hidup dan krisis ekonomi yang melanda seluruh dunia pada ketika ini.

    KBBM ini telah mendapat kerjasama daripada 23 rakan strategik yang melibatkan empat (4) inisiatif strategik perniagaan iaitu; pemerkasaan produk tempatan di dalam industri peruncitan tempatan dan platform dalam talian (marketplace), kolaborasi khas media animasi digital serta jualan bertema 2 berdasarkan segmen khusus. Pada masa yang sama juga pelaksanaan Jelajah Mini KBM yang akan menjelajah ke 5 zon/wilayah di seluruh Negara di samping pelaksanaan acara kemuncak Karnival Barangan Malaysia pada penghujung tahun nanti.

    Justeru itu, menerusi penganjuran Jelajah Mini Karnival Barangan Malaysia 2023 yang julung kalinya dilaksanakan dalam skala sederhana di 5 zon/wilayah di seluruh Negara diharap dapat menjadi pemangkin dalam merancakkan kembali kecenderungan rakyat untuk membeli barangan buatan Malaysia. Pada masa yang sama dapat mengimbangi cabaran dan tekanan globalisasi ekonomi semasa khususnya untuk merangsang pertumbuhan ekonomi domestik melalui peningkatan pembelian dan penggunaan produk atau perkhidmatan tempatan.

    Jelajah Mini Karnival Barangan Malaysia 2023 ini juga menampilkan pemain-pemain industri perusahaan mikro, kecil dan sederhana (PMKS) yang dipilih dari zon/wilayah yang terlibat itu sendiri agar dapat memperkenalkan produk mereka kepada masyarakat setempat. Antara aktiviti-aktiviti yang akan dilaksanakan termasuklah pameran dan jualan, sesi advokasi dan pelbagai lagi aktiviti menarik untuk para pengunjung.

    KPDN ingin menyeru rakyat Malaysia untuk “Jom Sokong dan Beli” dan menyarankan pengguna supaya dapat membuat pilihan tepat dengan membeli serta memilih barangan Malaysia yang sememangnya berkualiti dan setanding dengan produk-produk luar.

    KPDN berharap agar rakyat Malaysia dapat turun beramai-ramai ke setiap lokasi Jelajah Mini Karnival Barangan Malaysia 2023 dalam memeriahkan lagi karnival ini disamping menyokong produk-produk usahawan tempatan dan secara tidak langsung dapat merangsang ekonomi negara.

    Berhubung Program Jualan RAHMAH (PJR), sehingga 31 Ogos 2023, ia telah dilaksana di 20 kawasan Parlimen dan 44 kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri melibatkan 79 lokasi di seluruh negeri Sabah dan telah memberi manfaat kepada lebih 117,658 pengunjung. Manakala PJR di seluruh negara pula telah merekodkan kehadiran melebihi 3 juta pengunjung di 1,828 lokasi 3 melibatkan 222 Parlimen dan 640 DUN.

    PJR dilaksanakan melalui 3 model iaitu dalam premis, luar premis, dan Jualan RAHMAH Bergerak #KedaiCariRakyat. Program Jualan RAHMAH ini merupakan kolaborasi Kerajaan bersama pemain industri sektor peruncitan seperti pasar raya dan pasar raya besar yang menawarkan penjimatan harga barangan keperluan harian seperti gula, minyak masak paket, tepung, telur ayam, ikan, ayam, buah-buahan, sayuran dan lain-lain antara 10% hingga 30% lebih murah daripada harga biasa setempat. Turut diadakan acara cabutan tiket bertuah dan jualan ‘Happy Hour’.

    “Jom Sokong dan Beli” Barangan Malaysia “Barang Baik, Barang Kita”

  • DOKUMENTARI KHAS NOMAD TERAKHIR

    Rumah, sekolah dan taman permainan boleh didapati di hutan. Itu mungkin bagaimana orang asli Batek melihat hutan. Penonton akan dibawa melalui kisah kehidupan suku Orang Asli Batek yang terletak di Perkampungan Orang Asli Kuala Koh di Gua Musang, Kelantan, melalui dokumentari khusus yang dipanggil Nomad Last. Sekitar 300 orang asli Batek tinggal di perkampungan yang disediakan oleh Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA). Perkampungan ini terletak di kawasan terpencil di luar Taman Negara Kelantan. Suku Batek masih menjalani gaya hidup semi nomadik, bergantung sepenuhnya pada hutan Taman Negara Kelantan yang berusia lebih 130 juta tahun sebagai sumber makanan harian mereka.

    Dokumentari khas ini adalah hasil kerjasama antara TV3 dengan EBS Korea untuk menjayakan sebuah program dari Korea, The Food Of Love, yang membabitkan 5 buah negara iaitu Korea, Mongolia, India,

    Thailand dan Malaysia. Ini juga adalah usaha yang dicetuskan oleh Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif, Rangkaian Televisyen Media Prima & Primeworks Studios, Puan Nini Yusof, bersama pihak EBS Korea bagi menghasilkan sebuah dokumentari jalinan kerjasama antara dua buah negara. 

    Penggambaran membabitkan gabungan krew penerbitan dan TV3 dan EBS Korea ini berlangsung selama 9 hari. Pastinya merakamkan perjalanan hidup dan aktiviti harian orang asli Batek di hutan ada cabarannya. Faktor cuaca, membawa peralatan penggambaran dengan berjalan kaki ke dalam hutan lebih 3 kilometer setiap hari dan kekangan bahasa untuk berkomunikasi merupakan antara cabaran yang perlu ditempuhi. 

    Mendekati suku kaum Batek di Kuala Koh, Gua Musang, Kelantan, akan menjadi sukar tanpa bantuan Suzairi Zakaria atau lebih dikenali sebagai Dome. Dome, seorang jurugambar profesional berasal dari Setiu,Terengganu,  individu yang telah banyak merekod dan merakamkan momen, peristiwa, serta saksi perubahan suku kaum Batek di sini hampir 15 tahun. Keakraban itu banyak membantu pihak produksi dalam menjalankan penggambaran dan pastinya Dome juga turut terlibat sebagai salah seorang karakter penting dalam penceritaan dokumentari ini.

    Merakamkan realiti hidup orang asli Batek di Kuala Koh, memberikan satu dimensi baharu tentang keunikan mereka. Kewujudan mereka adalah sebahagian daripada ekosistem di Taman Negara. Kepakaran mereka mengenai ilmu hutan adalah satu perkara yang sangat mengagumkan. Aktiviti wajib mereka adalah mencari ubi-ubi liar di hutan. Malah kelebihan yang mereka miliki, ada sebahagian daripada ubi liar beracun menjadi hidangan mereka. Keunikan ini dibawakan dalam dokumentari ini. Orang asli Batek masih memburu haiwan menggunakan cara tradisional dengan menyumpit dan tiba waktu yang diperlukan, mereka akan berpindah randah jauh ke dalam hutan untuk meneruskan kelangsungan hidup. 

    Namun hanya generasi lama yang masih kuat berpegang teguh dengan cara hidup asal. Mereka cuba sedaya upaya mempertahankan cara hidup dan tradisi lama mereka dari generasi ke generasi. Namun kehidupan mereka semakin mencabar dek kerana kesan modenisasi dalam kalangan generasi muda. Perubahan ini yang menggusarkan generasi lama. 

    Persoalannya, mampukah cara hidup dan tradisi lama mereka bertahan?

    Nomad Terakhir, adalah hasil kerja keras berpasukan yang terdiri daripada jurukamera, Rishigeysannambiar, Mohd Rafi Kassem dan jurukamera wanita dari EBS Korea, Hyungeun Yim, dibantu krew teknikal yang lain; Azizul Sufyan, Khirul Fikry Mustafa, Sangin Kim (EBS), Mohammad Syafiq Zakaria, Muhammad Haniff Hassan dan manakala pihak produksi penerbitan, Nurul Fariha Onn (TV3), Hyunsook Chung (EBS) sebagai Pengarah & Penerbit, Nur Wanah Kiramli, sebagai Penolong Penerbit & Offline Editor, Iffa Qamarina Burhanuddin sebagai wartawan, Hafiz Rashid, sebagai Online Editor dan  Mohd Izzul Iswat Mohd Azman, Penerbit Penyelaras.

  • AT HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT ASIA, SIEMENS HEALTHINEERS URGES INCREASED COOPERATION TO PROGRESS THE CANCER FIGHT.

    In conjunction with the Hospital Management Asia Conference 2023, leading medtech innovator Siemens Healthineers today hosted a panel discussion in which local healthcare experts and leaders expressed optimism that cancer could be considered a manageable, chronic disease with much higher survival rates in 25 years.

    While cancer cases in Malaysia are projected to double by 2040, cancer care has advanced in recent years, with technological innovations in diagnostic imaging that enable earlier detection, precise diagnosis, customized radiation therapy, targeted chemotherapies rooted in knowledge about the human genome, groundbreaking immunotherapies, and the development of comprehensive cancer care programs.

    Creating a world without fear of cancer will require important changes in the way healthcare is organized and oncology is practiced. There is a need for healthcare providers to go “broad” around population health and patient management and to go “deep” with hyper-specialization and cutting-edge technologies that increase complexity exponentially. Navigating these changes will only be possible through multi-disciplinary cooperation, strategic partnerships, and the collaborative use of integrated, connected care pathways that span the entire cancer detection and treatment journey.

     

    Moving from fragmented care to integrated care

    Fabrice Leguet, Managing Director of Siemens Healthcare Southeast Asia, believes the next step in comprehensive cancer care will be summoning the will and collective effort to move beyond today’s fragmented cancer care landscape towards a more integrated approach.

    “Advancements in healthcare have allowed us to take big strides and redefine what is possible when it comes to diagnosing and treating a disease as complicated as cancer. However, we recognize that alleviating the fears of cancer patients requires a collective effort from everyone in the system. Our goal is to make detection, diagnosis, and treatment more accessible, effective, and personalized to the needs of patients in Southeast Asia,” he shared.

    Titled ‘Creating a World Without Fear of Cancer: A Critical Dialogue’, the panel featured experts from various health industry sectors. Fabrice was joined by Dr. Kelvin Yii, Special Advisor to the Health Minister; Serena Yong, CEO of Regency Specialist Hospital; Prof. Ricky Sharma, Global Head of Clinical Affairs at Varian; and patient advocate Ranjit Kaur, former President and current board member of Reach to Recovery International (RRI).

     

    Policy and Collaboration: Charting a Unified Course

    Addressing the diverse range of challenges, including the rising cost of high-tech care modalities, international staff shortages, and limited funding for healthcare services, Serena Yong, CEO of Regency Specialist Hospital, highlighted the importance of industry partnerships in facilitating knowledge sharing and potential breakthroughs in oncology. “By integrating insights from different fields, we can achieve more diverse and effective outcomes.”

    These sentiments were echoed by Dr. Kelvin Yii, special advisor to the Health Minister. “The National Strategic Plan for Cancer Control aims to make cancer prevention, management, and control accessible and affordable through partnerships with stakeholders. The goal is to reduce the cancer burden, promote understanding of cancer, encourage prevention, and encourage early diagnosis to alleviate patient fears.”

     

    Technology & Innovation: The New Frontier

    The global healthcare sector has seen a paradigm shift with the advent of AI, data analytics, and breakthrough technologies. Early detection, once a challenge, now gets a boost with intelligent cancer care systems.

    Serena shared, “Our current technological trajectory is encouraging. We are on the cusp of an era where technology doesn’t just detect but predicts.”

    “The strategic partnership between Regency Specialist Hospital and Siemens reaffirms our commitment to elevating patient care. With patient well-being at the heart of our mission, this partnership expedites the integration of connected health solutions, ensuring swifter

    access to care. Moreover, it facilitates the expansion of teleconsultation services and the implementation of predictive analytics on a broader scale, ultimately contributing significantly to our patients’ journey toward improved health outcomes.”

    Reinforcing Siemens Healthineers’ commitment, Fabrice said, “By partnering with healthcare providers, we accelerate the transfer of knowledge in oncology across clinical, technical, and managerial fields and fast-track the adoption of integrated innovative technologies across the continuum of cancer care. While we leverage our access to global best practices and the latest technological innovations, we take a “fit for purpose” approach where solutions are adapted to the local context in close collaboration with our partners in the region. This is how we are able to set up Oncology Centers of Excellence with innovative care delivery models that enable our partners to leverage their healthcare network and bring these capabilities closer to their patients. At Siemens Healthineers, our aim is to democratize access to these groundbreaking innovations and clinical knowledge with a clear goal of making advanced cancer care accessible to all.”

     

    Patient Advocacy: The Cornerstone of Comprehensive Care

    Ranjit Kaur emphasized the emotional facet of cancer: “The journey can be solitary. It underscores the imperative for community support and a holistic approach that intertwines medical treatment with emotional well-being. In a world where technology drives improvement in various aspects of our lives, we must also prioritize empathy, timely care access, and comprehensive support systems for patients, not only in Malaysia but worldwide. Each patient journey is often daunting and worrisome, but by paying greater attention to these details, we can help individuals look beyond their diagnosis and find confidence in their ability to overcome cancer.”

    Prof. Ricky Sharma, Global Head of Clinical Affairs at Varian, shares, “Cancer is a disease that can evolve and mutate to evade treatments. The importance of patient data cannot be understated, as well as patient experiences of treatment from country to country. We need all of this information to deliver a personalized patient experience, and it has to be from a holistic point of view. We need to be asking important questions from the patients‘ perspective: Is treatment accessible? Are patients being treated with the respect they deserve? How and where are clinical decisions being made and the treatments being administered? We need to aim for a frictionless, patient-centric experience so we can, as communities, move further towards our vision of a world without fear of cancer.”

     

    Towards a Cancer-Free World

    With a coordinated effort between technology, policy, and caregiving, the dream of a cancer-free 2047 doesn’t seem distant. The collective voice of the panel resonated with optimism and determination.

    Fabrice encapsulated the spirit, saying, “Every strategic partnership, every technological innovation, and every collaboration with policymakers will bring us one step closer to creating a world without fear of cancer.”

The event, held in conjunction with the Global Halal Summit 2023 (GHaS 2023), drew over 500 attendees who took part in a broad selection of activities that included thought-provoking keynotes, informative panel discussions, and interactive networking.

    Under the theme “Resiliency of Halal Sectors Towards National Socio-Economy,” the two-day forum attracted representatives from various ministries, agencies, embassies, industry leaders, academia, research institutes, Halal industry practitioners, and Islamic financial institutions.

    The forum kicked off with a welcome speech by HDC Chairman, Mr. Khairul Azwan Harun, and a keynote speech by YAB Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Rural and Regional Development.

His speech will focus on HDC’s goal of implementing advanced technologies by establishing integrated domestic halal management systems. Furthermore, it seeks to promote innovative problem-solving strategies and to take a comprehensive, cross-national approach to policymaking. This approach prioritizes policy advocacy for halal compliance, as well as trade, investment, employment, and innovations that improve capabilities across various sectors

    The forum’s discussions covered crucial issues such as upholding global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles for business opportunities and investments, the interplay between innovation and commercialization, the development of raw materials for pharmaceuticals, the importance of co-branding, and fostering a positive and inclusive culture within organizations.

    The focus of this forum is aligned with Malaysia’s Halal Industry Master Plan 2030 (HIMP 2030), which was recently launched by the Malaysia’s YAB Deputy Prime Minister on 23rd March 2023. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry (MITI) and HDC, HIMP 2030 catalyzes Halal industry’s growth by leveraging on Malaysia’s unique Halal ecosystem, with the theme “Prominent, Visible, and Globalized Halal Malaysia,” HIMP 2030 strengthens Malaysia’s leadership in the global Halal industry by achieving greater positioning, strategic standpoint, and comprehensive national development. Malaysia’s Halal industry is projected to reach approximately RM231.1 billion by 2030 which is 10.8 percent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as targeted in the 12th Malaysia Plan.
