Jobbie spreads awareness with MAKNA in the "Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey" Fundraiser and Education Campaign for Breast Cancer

In conjunction with The Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Pink October), beloved natural peanut buter brand JOBBIE announced its collaboration with the Malaysian National Cancer Council (MAKNA) with a special CSR launch and an education campaign entitled the “Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey”.

The campaign which was officially launched at Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2) to over 100 guests comprising the members of the public, VIP guests, collaborators, media and content creators, aimed to raise the awareness of breast cancer while supporting MAKNA’s breast health initiatives. 

Among the notable names in attendance were the Deputy GM of MAKNA, Mr. Vemanna Appannah, and social media influencer Maryam You Narae, also known as Maryam Durian Kimchi.

JOBBIE rolled out its limited edition of 5,000 Jobbie pink jars specially-designed with the “Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey” label at the campaign launch… Every jar features breast cancer awareness information with a striking pink design, symbolising the journey and courage of individuals affected by the disease. 

For every jar sold, RM1 will be donated to MAKNA to support its breast health programmes, helping to provide resources and care for those affected by breast cancer.

The campaign’s unique name is made up of two key elements of the cancer journey. The word “Wobbly” symbolises the vulnerability individuals face when battling breast cancer, while “Odyssey” mirrors the unique and courageous journey of each person coping with the disease. This aligns with JOBBIE’s ethos of spreading joy and advocating for a better quality of life.

Mr Victor Chin, the Chief Executive Officer of JOBBIE explained, “JOBBIE’s collaboration with MAKNA serves as a reminder to all Malaysians to take an ac1ve role in understanding and promoting breast health. Early detection saves lives, and the “Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey” encourages everyone to spread knowledge, support survivors and contribute to breast cancer research and care.

“At JOBBIE, we believe that just like how our peanut butter spreads joy, we would like to spread some hope, cheer and support for breast cancer fighters and survivors through this initiative. Our commitment is to help Malaysians live better and healthier lives, and at the same (me inspires Malaysians at large to be cognisant about the disease that impacts not just the patient but her family as well, hence, through this initiative, we are rallying the community and caregivers’ support for each other and to take breast health seriously.”

The launch event headlined a kaleidoscopic repertoire of health and wellness activities which suggest a holistic regime for the breast health care. Guests enjoyed a yoga session which reiterates the importance of mental health for people living with cancer. The Wobbly Breast Hall of Fame exhibition featured information about the campaign as well as artwork inspired by the Wobbly Breast Design. All participants were also treated to various fun experiential stations which included creating their very own piece of art and receiving a free breast cancer screening, generously provided by the sponsor, Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2).

Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among females in Malaysia, accounting for 32% of all cancers detected in women. The risk of developing breast cancer increases with age, with a higher incidence among individuals above the age of 50.

Sadly, many cases are diagnosed late, with almost half of cases detected at Stage 3 or Stage 4, when treatment options become more limited and the chances of survival decrease. These statistics highlight the critical need for early detec!on and regular screenings, particularly for women over 40, to improve outcomes and reduce mortality rates associated with the disease.

The campaign’s launch event enlisted a health expert and a cancer survivor to share practical insight on cancer care and management.

Dr. Haliza Kamarudin, a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist of Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2), spoke about women’s wellness, emphasizing the importance of early screenings like mammograms and self- examinations at different stages of life.

“Women’s life experiences are impacted by various health risks and implications throughout various stages of their lives. These include hormonal changes, menopause and most rampantly breast cancer. Its important for women to stay informed about breast health and monitor the risks and changes to their body and observe a healthy lifestyle regime. Regular screenings and early detection are key in preventing gettng breast cancer or take steps to manage it at early stages,” said Dr Haliza

Host, Cancer survivor & advocate Choo Mei Sze, shared her personal battle and triumph over cancer, giving encouragement to those facing the same challenges. “Going through cancer was a lonely journey filled with ups and downs especially at a young age, so having the support from my family and loves ones helped to make was very important. The key is to stay strong and positive and take steps to manage the disease with the right informa(on and treatment. I am honoured to be part of this initiative to share my personal journey with the hope of inspiring others who are fighting their own battles.”

guardian Marks its 57th Birthday by Continuing to Nurture the Beauty and Wellbeing of Malaysians

guardian Malaysia celebrates its 57th year of operations with a series of activities that reinforce its commitment to nurturing the beauty and wellbeing of Malaysians.

These activities include:

 

• A Pink October campaign in collaboration with Kundal and The National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) to raise awareness, expand access, and drive action in the nation’s fight against breast cancer.

 

• The launch of new, exclusive beauty and wellbeing brands in guardian Malaysia’s stores nationwide and online, culminating in an official event later this month at guardian The Exchange TRX mall to celebrate these exciting new offerings.

 

• An exclusive 57% discount promotion on the purchase of the second item across 3,000 products, available both in-store and online throughout the month.

 

Through these initiatives, guardian Malaysia aims to remind and encourage Malaysians from all walks of life to prioritize nurturing their own beauty and wellbeing.

 

Anna Ng, Marketing Director of guardian Malaysia, emphasized: “Outer beauty and inner wellbeing require daily nurturing. This includes having knowledge about what’s good for you and being able to access the ‘right choice’ of beauty and wellbeing products.”

 

Pink October: Guardian Malaysia Steps Up in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Breast cancer remains the #1 cancer affecting women in Malaysia, with 1 in 19 women being diagnosed. Due to a lack of awareness and low rates of early detection — especially among lower-income households—nearly half of the cases are only confirmed in the late stages (Stages 3 and 4).

This has resulted in a low 5-year survival rate of 66.8% which is much lower than other Asian countries such as Singapore (79%), South Korea (92.6%), and Japan (96.2%).

 

Early detection is crucial in combating breast cancer. In partnership with Kundal and The National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM), guardian Malaysia will introduce an exclusive Pink Glove breast self-examination kit.

 

It includes a scrub glove with self-examination steps, two bottles of body wash, and one body scrub, retailing at RM23.88.

 

For every Pink Glove kit sold, part of proceeds will be contributed to NCSM to support work in education, awareness, and early detection programs for breast cancer.

 

Additionally, 10,000 Pink Glove kits will be set aside and distributed by NCSM to underprivileged women across Malaysia.

 

Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy, Managing Director of NCSM, said: “We are grateful to guardian Malaysia for stepping up efforts to improve access to breast cancer self-examinations. The Pink Glove kit, coupled with the awareness campaign, donation drive, and distribution to underprivileged women, offers a holistic approach to addressing breast cancer across all demographics.”

 

Throughout Pink October, guardian will run a digital campaign to raise awareness about early detection, including a video by Dr. Tan Gie Hooi, Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon, on the importance of early detection.

 

Additionally, NCSM will host informative sessions on breast cancer awareness at guardian The Exchange TRX mall from 21 to 27 October 2024, alongside educational and screening campaigns targeting underprivileged communities at Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) Hiliran Ampang.

 

October’s Special: Launch of Exclusive New Brands at Guardian Malaysia

 

“guardian Malaysia continues to curate the best beauty and wellbeing brands for our customers. As part of our 57th-anniversary celebration, we are launching more than 20 new and exclusive brands this month,” added Anna.
