Meta Launches #JomJagaPrivasi Privacy Education Campaign to Empower Malaysians to Take Control of Privacy Experience

Meta launched it’s #JomJagaPrivasi campaign as part of its ongoing efforts to educate and encourage Malaysians to learn about privacy tools and resources on its platforms, this empowering the public to take necessary steps to protect their privacy and secure their online accounts. This hybrid online and offline campaign will be happening for two weeks….

Meanwhile, for three days between Friday, 28 October until Sunday, 30 October, (so guys, to those of you around KL) Meta is inviting the general public to visit its first ever physical pop-up Privacy Cafe at The Farm Craft, Bangsar South to learn about how they can manage their privacy settings through engaging and immersive activities in person and getting tips from key opinion leaders (KOLs).

At the Privacy Cafe, everyone can take a privacy quiz to gauge their knowledge on privacy controls and settings across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. 

You can also participate in a lineup of interactive and immersive activities that encourages us to learn through play and gain knowledge on how to take control of our online presence through in-person education on privacy controls and resources. 

Once you have completed the activities, you can enjoy cute complimentary desserts and beverages….

“Protecting people’s privacy is the right thing to do for our community and our business. Everyday, people rely on our platform to connect with each other on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, so it is important for people to understand what they share online. Which is why we are excited to launch the #JomJagaPrivasi campaign which will provide relatable and easy to understand ways for Malaysians to learn how to take control over their privacy settings,” said Nicole Tan, Country Director, Meta in Malaysia.

To make learning more interesting and engaging, people can play with an interactive digital experience, ‘Your Home’, that uses creative home design to help users demystify online privacy and create a Facebook experience that they’re comfortable with. People can also learn more about the privacy preference and controls on Instagram through an immersive Instagram AR Filter in collaboration with Florian Sabatier, an augmented reality (AR) creator who ventured into the extended reality (XR) space over 5 years ago and is now leading Holowisp, an agency focusing on AR marketing solutions.

At the launch, Noudhy Valdryno, Head of Public Policy, Malaysia at Meta also debunk common misconceptions around online privacy on Meta technologies and Meta’s commitment and ongoing investments in developing new ways to honor people’s privacy by providing greater transparency and controls.

“Earlier this year, we updated our Privacy Policy and also our Privacy Center to make it easier to understand and for people to know how to shape their experience with our products. We are committed to Meta’s vision for a privacy-focused platform, and this is why we continue to build tools to give people more transparency over how their data is used and we design every product and feature with privacy in mind,” said Noudhy.

The #JomJagaPrivasi campaign reaffirms Meta’s ongoing effort to enhance digital literacy and commitment to support local communities, while equipping them with resources and tools to control what they share, learn about availability of privacy tools and features, personalize what ads they see and keep their account secure on Meta platforms.

People can also expect to meet local KOLs like Ceddy Ang, Tan Yuki, Gajendrabalan Chandra, Adam Muzam, Ori Yuanwei, Amira Sachie and Jessica Chaw who will be making an appearance at the pop-up Privacy Cafe to share their personal experiences and debunking common myths around online privacy.

“We encourage people to visit the physical pop-up Privacy Cafe and to take part in both online and offline educational activities over the next two weeks of the campaign to learn how to take charge of their online privacy. We hope the campaign will also demystify common misunderstandings about online privacy, answer questions and help people know how they can be in control of their information online,” Nicole concluded.

Facebook Live sessions will be made available to help consumers understand and learn basics on online privacy. Do follow Meta Malaysia’s Facebook page to stay up to date on more tips and online educational activities...

Ramai orang memang teragak- agak bila disuruh melabur, kerana tidak ingin mengambil risiko….

Then the other day ada kawan saya yang ter cerita pasal seorang perintis perisian pelaburan kewangan yang bernama Simon Liau. Simon ini merupakan Pengasas dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif di dalam Finworld dan dia berjaya mengharumi nama Finworld itu sendiri dengan memenangi anugerah Golden Bull Award 2022.

Of course, dalam beberapa tahun dan bulan sebelum itu, Simon telah mengharungi banyak dugaan tetapi dengan berkat usahanya yang tidak mudah patah semangat, Simon pun berjaya menjadi seorang yang amat dikagumi sekarang….

Managing Director Finworld iaitu Simon, menamatkan Sarjana dalam kejuruteraan Kewangan di UK, telah berazam untuk membawa dunia kewangan negara Barat pulang ke Malaysia. Ini adalah kerana di Malaysia tidak ada satu pun syarikat perisian dan saham tempatan yang membantu pelabur-pelabur di Malaysia terus berkembang.

Walaupun terdapat pelbagai cabaran yang dilalui oleh Simon,  Simon tetap berusaha kerana peluang ada dimana-mana dan kalau dia tahu kalau tidak bertindak segera, pasti akan merugikan.

Simon and team manage to digitalize risks and rewards…. 

Tanpa berhenti, tanpa berputus asa, akhirnya apa yang di kerjakan dan di visualised itu menjadi kenyataan  dan it beransur-ansur berkembang dengan mantap. Hasilnya pada tahun 2022 Simon and team berjaya memenangi GOLDEN BULL AWARD.

Simon bepegang kepada empat perkara iaitu
1. Semua keputusan diukur berdasarkan pertubuhan syarikat
2. Keupayaan untuk mengubah kos syarikat secara fleksibel dan penggunaannya.
3. Teruskan merealisasikan ruang pembangunan
4. Semua operasi harian perniagaan diautomasikan dan digitalkan

RANCANG, GUNAKAN DAN KEMUDIAN BERTINDAK
Looking towards the future, Simon berazam untuk membangunkan produk domestik yang boleh dibeli dan dibanggakan oleh rakyat Malaysia.

Thursday Plantation skin care for acne breakouts

Acne is such an annoying skin condition that happens when your follicles are clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. 

Acne happens most commonly among teenagers, but also affects people of all ages.

Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.

Depending on its severity, acne can cause much emotional distress and leave our skin ugly woth scars…. Thus the faster you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems… and one of the best way to prevent and treat acne is with tea tree oil…..

Tea tree oil, also known as melaleuca oil, is an essential oil distilled from the leaves of the native Australian plant Melaleuca alternifolia.

Tea tree oil has been used for almost 100 years as a healing treatment in Australia, particularly for skin conditions as it is best known for its antibacterial activity.

Tea tree oil is believed to have powerful antibacterial and antiseptic properties that help purify skin. Used in traditional and folk medicine for centuries, tea tree is believed to be effective in treating skin complaints like acne and dandruff, as well as insect bites and minor infections.

Thursday Plantation has been educating  people on the restorative power of tea tree oil as well as other natural oils for nearly forty years now…. 

And today, the brand offers a unique range of health and beauty products, all derived from nature’s oils, to restore our skin to its healthiest. 

From relieving skin problems to restoring radiant, healthy skin, Thursday Plantation has you and your family’s health and beauty needs covered…. Thursday Plantation only uses the pure power of plant oils to restore our skin to its optimum… 

I love the products from Thursday Plantation as  the product range does not contain any nasties like synthetic parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES), or harsh detergents and is free from animal testing….

The all natural soap-free Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne is a formulation of nature’s cleansing and moisturising oils to deeply cleanse your skin while supporting its protective barrier and improving its condition and it has been newly reformulated to be better…

This vegan-friendly face wash contains the powerful combination of natural oils to help prevent acne and pimples by gently cleansing the skin to remove a build-up of excessive oils.

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner is formulated to capture the antibacterial power of Tea Tree Oil and the toning benefits of Witch Hazel to purify your skin and tighten pores. 

Daily use of this naturally derived toner will leave our skin soft, smooth, hydrated, rejuvenated and glowing.

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Cream is a formulation of nature’s cleansing and moisturising oils to deeply cleanse your skin while supporting its protective barrier and improving its condition. This vegan-friendly cream is made with organic ingredients to gently clean and freshen the facial skin without drying and without clogging the pores.

But personally for me and my teenage daughter, our favourite must-have would be Thursday Plantation Blemish Gel….

Thursday Plantation Blemish Gel is a natural, no peroxide, 100% pure Australian Tea Tree Oil, with a natural antibacterial agent. The concentrated formula penetrates deep into our skin to unblock sebaceous ducts and remove build-up of excessive oils as well as dry out pimples and acne. 

It is excellent in managing whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and acne and you will see a much improved skin condition in just 6 days….

As mentioned above, like all Thursday Plantation product , Thursday Plantation Blemish Gel is free from synthetic parabens, mineral oils, propylene glycol, lauryl sulphates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colours, synthetic preservatives and animal-derived ingredients. 

Many skincare companies use Benzoyl peroxide to combat acne… this is not healthy as Benzoyl peroxide works by peeling away the skin to get rid of dead skin cells, excessive oil, and bacteria that may be trapped underneath. Such effects leads to dryness, as well as redness and excessive peeling. You might notice itching and general irritation at the site of application too….

At Thursday Plantation, they use the natural goodness of Tea Tree Oil to provide a more gentle solution to all types of skin when treating acne without peroxide and silicon.

So lets join the #NoPeroxide movement and use a safer and more naturally effective way to get better healthier skin in like 6 days!!!!

Thursday Plantation Blemish Gel and Tea Tree range are available at selected pharmacies as well as online…
