LEGOLAND® BRINGS ITS AWESOME HOLIDAY FUN TO THE KIDS IN HOSPITAL SULTAN ISMAIL JOHOR

Dr. Mahendra Raj, Director of Health and Safety, Legoland Malaysia Resort (4th from right) and Casper Bonavent, Director of Operations, Legoland (5th from right) capturing a moment with the Model Citizens and 30 kids from the pediatric ward of Hospital Sultan Ismail.

LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort and LEGO® Malaysia teamed up to bring its awesome brand of fun and play to children in the pediatric ward in Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor. The kids of the palliative care unit at the pediatric ward – a special unit for kids suffering from serious illnesses – were treated to awesome, fun-filled LEGO® activities that were meant to stimulate their imaginations through play. These kids, who are not allowed to go home during the holiday seasons, received the ultimate holiday treat, as they were treated to building and colouring activities, singing and dancing performances and a special appearance by LEGO® Police costume character.



At LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, we believe deeply that every kid deserves the right to play, and grow through play. This holiday season we wanted the children to have a great time and fully explore their imaginations through play even though they are unable to spend the holidays at home. We wanted them to forget their illness and just be kids once again, with no worries about treatment and pain. We felt compelled to bring the fun to them,” said Young Pil-Kim, General Manager (Interim) at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort. 

Starting the visit with the LEGO® building activity, the children were challenged to a speed building activity where they were all given a LEGO® Christmas Set. The first five kids whom completed the activity won LEGO® sets and LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort merchandise. Following the building activity, the children got to express their imagination through the colouring activity. Aside from the building and colouring activities, the children had fun decorating their very own jelly based on their creativity using healthy fruits.  Both LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort and LEGO® Malaysia worked hand-in-hand to sponsor various LEGO® sets and LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort merchandise for the kids’ play area for them to continue building their imagination. The day was ended with various goodies, sponsored by LEGO® Malaysia and LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort, were handed to all the children to enjoy.

Lego Building Activity


Casper Bonavent (1st from left) together with one of the resort's Model Citizen (1st from right) join for a photo with a young creative patient showing her beautiful artwork during the coloring activity.

“We’re proud to have done this with like-minded partners in LEGO® Malaysia. Some say there is kind of a healing quality in laughter. Beyond the smiles and laughter that the kids experienced here today, it is our sincere hope that the awesome fun and games today brings them closer to their family and their imaginations. They could not visit us in LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort so we brought LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort to them. It is after all the Merlin Magic Wand’s spirit,” Young concluded.



Personally I think this is very good as it brings cheers to the less fortunate children so they can enjoy some fun building Lego bricks. Legoland has done a great job and I hope there will be more similar events in the future.

Friso Gold with LocNutri - Improved Formula for Better Digestion


As a mother of two lovely children, I always want the best for my children. I do not mean academic results but their health. My daughter is a dyslexic child. Dyslexia comes from the Greek language, 'Dys' means difficulty while 'Lexia' means written words. So dyslexia is a word describing some people (5-10%) who find it hard to learn to read and write even though their intelligence level is normal. So I try to get her to focus on outdoor and other fun activities instead of putting pressure on her to excel academically. 

My son is a picky eater and he only eats food he likes. He doesn't like fruits, vegetables, meat and seafood. He only likes to eat egg, cereal, bread, plain rice, noodles and drink Friso Gold milk. As a mom, I worry whether he gets enough nutrition. I am glad that he loves the delicious taste of Friso Gold milk because the absorption of right nutrients ensures physical development, healthy gut and strong immunity.

My children love to play at the playground, cycle, blow bubbles and run around.

Children love to play outdoors and some parents worry when children play outdoors because their hands get dirty and if their immune system is low, they might get sick easily. My children love to play at the playground, feed and pet animals, swim, play at the beach and do many other activities. When children are strong from the inside, there is no more worries about viruses and bacteria because they have strong immunity. When they are healthy, they can explore and enjoy more outdoor activities.  I want my children to live a healthy and happy life because there are lots of fun things they can explore, learn and do daily.

They love playing sand at the beach and enjoy the waves. 


Swimming is one of their favorite activities and they are currently taking swimming lessons. 


Feeding and petting rabbits, hamsters and other animals at the petting zoo is so much fun.

Most parents want the best for their children and sometimes looking for the right formula milk may be difficult. I am glad that I have found a very healthy formula milk for both my children. Friso Gold newly improved formula with LocNutri is the answer to strong and healthy children


After opening the tin foil, the scoop is easily placed on top for hygienic reasons.



Friso Gold is from Holland and the milk is made by natureFriso Gold has more than 19,000 farms and their farmers monitor the health of every individual cow. The cows are well taken care of, like family to produce nutritious high quality milk. The dairy expertise has been passed down through generations for 140 years.  

Friso Gold is made better by science. Scientists have created a special process that treats the milk with gentle care and locks the nutrients into formula milk. The new LocNutri technology preserves nutrients by using mild heat during the formula production process so the nutrient is easily absorbed by the body and easily digested. On the contrary, high heat during the production process damages protein making it hard to be absorbed by the intestines and may cause indigestion and constipation. Children who drink Friso milk will not have indigestion and constipation problem. Digestion is the key to building a child's immunity. 


Friso Gold ingredients and nutritional information can be found HERE. You can get your free sample HERE.

When children have good digestive system, they are strong from the inside and their body resistance will improve. Naturally, this will lead to happy, intelligent, healthy children who are ready to learn and explore the outdoor world. My children like to ask questions and are quite creative. They are very active kids who cannot sit still for a long time. So I will bring them to the playground and play with them often. My children's smile makes my day and I am looking forward to many more fun outdoor activities with my children. This is what every mom and dad want to see. They want their children to grow healthily, strong, happy and positive. I pray that they will continue to be healthy and happy forever!

Below are some photos and videos of my children enjoying various activities.



My daughter loves to plant her own lady's fingers to eat.



We enjoy ice-skating very much.


My children sliding down the tube at Snow World, Genting Highlands.

My children enjoy playing the trampoline at Sunway Lagoon.


Creative food art fun.

Thanks to Friso Gold for this healthy formula milk. My children are growing up strong from the inside and able to have lots of fun outdoors. I will recommend Friso Gold to all my friends and family because I know it is a trusted brand and it is good for children. For more information on Friso Gold, please visit their Facebook or Website
