Antabax Introduces 'Bring Joy Back, Not Germs' Campaign

For the past few months, many parents were worried to bring their children out because of the rise of Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease (HFMD). Spread of germs in public playgrounds, shopping centers and schools made parents worried. As of August 16, 2018 statistics from the Ministry of Health Malaysia show that 52,393 children have been reported to have contracted HFMD.

Antabax, Malaysia's number 1 Halal antibacterial personal care range introduced the 'Bring Joy Back, Not Germs' campaign to teach simple steps that can reduce the spread of communicable diseases, for more joyous and less germs day out with family.

Launched in conjunction with MBO Cinema's Blood Donation 5.0 at Starling Mall, Damansara Uptown, there was a talk about '5 Things That Parents Should Know About Common Infectious Diseases' by a specialist from Sunday Medical Center, hands-on hygiene demonstration by nurses from MAHSA University, interaction with the Antabax mascot, Germbuster, fun quizzes and lots of prizes.

Both parents and children learnt that good personal hygiene is important to reduce the spread of communicable diseases from this campaign. According to the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), about 80% of infectious diseases are transmitted by touch and the CDC recommends hand hygiene as one of the most important steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.

Mr. Francis Ng, Senior General Manager, Household and Personal Care Department of Lam Soon Edible Oils Sdn. Bhd. explained that the brand is carrying out numerous activities aimed at encouraging better hand and general hygiene practices that can support Malaysians active lifestyles.
