RENTOKIL PARTNERS WITH MOH AND AIB TO ELEVATE FOOD SAFETY STANDARD IN MALAYSIA
KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- As food contamination and hygiene issues are increasing, it is crucial to raise food safety and hygiene standards by fostering partnerships between regulatory bodies, and industry leaders. Rentokil Initial Malaysia, a global leader in pest control and hygiene, advocates for a closer working relationship with our customers and recently invited them to attend the Pest and Total Hygiene (PATH) workshop with the theme “Strengthening Our Partnership With You”.
In 2019 alone, viral news on poor food safety and pest control were shared on social media, highlighting unhygienic practices are rampant in Malaysia. As stated by the 2019 Global Food Safety Conference, robust food safety culture must extend to every employee, with industry and regulator partnership being the best way to mitigate food safety issues efficiently.
The PATH also worked to connect current industry leaders with prominent regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) and global food safety audit body, AIB International to share on food safety culture and how it positively impacts businesses. AIB stressed that simple food safety programmes are not enough to establish proper food safety culture, rather it is important for all levels in the organisation to advocate for and act as an example for proper sanitation and hand hygiene practices. AIB also highlighted the positive impacts that food safety culture brings to businesses such as increasing morale, productivity and revenue. MOH further reiterated the importance of food safety while sharing an extensive list of best practices in regards to food safety and highlighting how crucial a trusted pest and hygiene management partner is in achieving standards in food safety.
Carol Lam, the Managing Director of RI Malaysia said “At Rentokil Initial, we are always committed to understand your needs and challenges. Through this deep understanding, we can then provide the right and innovative solution that solves your pest & hygiene issues. Our commitment is to continue the dialogue based on partnership and food safety, with the aspiration of connecting them with environmental sustainability, from food integrity to reducing plastic waste.”
PATH workshop was attended by more than 160 participants from over 80 companies, highlighted on how companies need to form close working relationships and share responsibilities with their pest control providers for effective pest management. The main theme centers around how partnering with regulators and adhering to best practices, such as removing food sources to minimise pest attractions coupled with the help of pest control experts, companies can reduce the risk of infestations.

WATCH HONG KONG'S ANCIENT HISTORY COME TO LIFE
Experience the city’s ancient Chinese past with four unforgettable festivals this spring
HONG KONG, April 26 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Steeped in culture and tradition, Hong Kong honours its Chinese past with unique ancient festivals. Coming up this spring, peek into the past with four fascinating festivals: the Tin Hau Festival, the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, and the birthdays of Buddha and Tam Kung.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here:http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190417006065/en
“The Hong Kong Tourism Board is proud to support the culture and heritage that makes Hong Kong such a vibrant city,” saids Anthony Lau, Executive Director of Hong Kong Tourism Board. “We invite visitors to immerse themselves in these ancient celebrations, which truly capture the colour and lively spirit of the city.”
From powerful drums, riveting gongs and technicolour dragon dances to joyous crowds and mountains of Chinese buns, here are a few of Hong Kong’s unforgettable festivals:
27 April
Tin Hau Festival
A celebration of Tin Hau, the Goddess of the Sea, this eponymous festival lures thousands of people to peaceful Yuen Long every third lunar month. The celebration centres around the Shap Pat Heung fa pau (floral wreath) parade. Starting at 10am, the procession fills the streets with extravagant floral wreaths, traditional dancers, and a lively marching band.
9-13 May
Cheung Chau Bun Festival
Taking place on the charming island of Cheung Chau, the famed Bun Festival was named one of the “Top 10 Quirky Local Festivals” by TIME Magazine, for good reason. As the story goes, the villagers summoned Pak Tai, a powerful deity, to protect them from a devastating plague, and then paraded through the streets to ward off evil spirits.
For more than a century, the villagers had celebrated the festival with the vibrant Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Parade, papier-mâché effigies, Chinese opera performances, lion dances, and delicious food throughout the week.
Where do the buns come in? Every year, local vendors produce tens of thousands of ping on bao, aka “lucky buns”. Be sure to mark your calendar for the main event: On 12 May at 11:30pm, the mind-boggling Bun Scrambling Competition takes off. Competitors scale a 14-metre-tall bamboo tower covered with 9,000 imitation buns and try to collect as many buns as possible in three minutes!
6-12 May
Buddha’s Birthday
The city marks Buddha’s Birthday with a week of carnivals and spiritual experiences. A common ritual is ‘Bathing the Buddha', where worshippers wash Buddha statues with water to show respect. Then there’s the Celebration Carnival for Buddha’s Birthday in Victoria Park, the Buddhist Birthday Charity Concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, and various events at Po Lin Monastery, on lush Lantau Island.
12 May
Tam Kung’s Birthday
A sea deity worshipped by fishing communities, Tam Kung is known for his ageless face and ability to forecast the weather. Every fourth lunar month, villagers celebrate the god at the century-old Tam Kung Temple in Shau Kei Wan with traditional lion and dragon dance parade.
