Certainty Adult Diapers For Everyday Confidence

Recently I attended a workshop hosted by Unicharm about one of their brands, Certainty. Certainty is from Japan and offers a full range of diapers for the elderly and those who have incontinence problem. This is a well known brand which has won the Malaysia Health & Welllness Brands Awards 2022.

Incontinence means the inability to control the bladder resulting in urine leaks and this can happen to men and women of any age. However, this happens more often in elderly people. As a mommy of 2 children who has given natural births, sometimes I have small volume of urine leaks when I sneeze. It is often quite embarrassing and I usually use a thin panty liner which I don't think can hold much urine. With Certainty dry pants, I can continue my daily activities with confidence. 

Certainty dry pants are breathable, comfortable, slim and does not show under clothes. It keeps skin dry and comes in sizes M, L, XL and XXL. These dry pants are 2 times stretchable and easy to wear. I would love to use this when I travel for long hours so I don't need to worry too much even if I can't find the bathroom in time.

During the workshop, there was an experiment where blue color water was poured onto Certainty and brand X diapers. At the end of the experiment, I could feel that Certainty diaper was very dry compared to brand X. 

For the elderly folks who need maximum absorption to lock urine for long hours, they can use Certainty Max Pants which has close fit gathers to protect against side leaks. These come in sizes M, L and XL. These are suitable for those who walk, stand and sit with human assistant. Let's recommend these to our friends, parents or grandparents so they can feel confident about themselves.

Certainty also offers the dry tape diapers which can be used with Lifree Lady Extra Dry Urinary Leak Pad for those who are bedridden. These fit perfectly to body, has centre absorption spot, anti-odor with deodorant polymer and comes with side and 3D Gather for more security. 

Besides the dry pants and dry tape diapers, Certainty also offers the antibacterial wipes which are designed to kill 99.9% bacteria without skin irritation, contains aloe vera and Vitamin E that helps moisturize and soothe the skin. These wet wipes are 250mm x 180mm each, very big and thick compared to the regular wet wipes.

9 in 10 Malaysians Choose Shopee for Safe Online Shopping

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, today announced the results of #ShopSafeWithShopee survey that found 9 in 10 Malaysians prefer Shopee for safe online shopping. The survey also found that 8 in 10 Malaysians feel that Shopee provides the best scam support when shopping online.

Factors Influencing Buyers’ Decisions

When selecting a platform for online shopping, the top factor that influences Malaysian buyers is their ability to have safe shopping transactions, such as secure payment methods, clear return and money back policies, authentic/verified products, and great customer service resolutions. 

This is especially true for shoppers aged 35 to 49 years old, whereas younger shoppers aged 18 to 34 years old place greater emphasis on the popularity of the platform (assuming if more people use it, it's safe) and the wide assortment of products available.

#ShopSafeWithShopee survey was conducted among 1,000 Malaysian shoppers aged 18 and above. It found that the features that give shoppers the most peace of mind on Shopee are:

• Platform features that allow customers to verify sellers, such as 4-to-5 star store ratings, live demos on Shopee live stream, and seller chat functions (34%)
• Shopee Mall features, such as genuine premium brands, money-back guarantees, and the Authentic Deals Circle (33%)
• Shopee Guarantee, which releases money to sellers only when the customer confirms receipt of goods (29%)

“We are committed to providing our shoppers with a safe and secure online shopping experience,” said Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing at Shopee Malaysia. “We have a number of initiatives in place to protect our shoppers, including Shopee Guarantee, Shopee Mall, and our dedicated scam support team. We remain committed to building a safe and secure environment for our users for an enjoyable shopping experience.”

Shoppers’ Awareness Levels about Scams

80% of shoppers consider themselves ‘sufficiently knowledgeable’ to ‘very knowledgeable’ about online shopping scams, whereas 20% have encountered situations involving counterfeit purchases, contact from suspicious sellers, or susceptibility to scams. 50% of respondents are worried about data breach (account stolen/hacked, stolen bank details), and 20% are concerned by fake sellers/counterfeit goods.

The survey also found that 30% of survey respondents have been a victim of an online scam in the last year. However, 70% said they were very lucky to avoid being scammed. The majority of those who were scammed were shopping for home and living products, followed by fashion and lifestyle items, and electronics. Both males and females across all age groups were equally susceptible to being a victim – scammers do not discriminate.

Of those who fell victim to scams, 38% reported it to Shopee Chat’s Live Agents to seek timely support. An equal number of respondents also reported to the relevant authorities, namely, the CCID via the Scam Response Center or Infoline, PDRM via SEMAKMULE, and to the National Scam Response Center hotline. 10% posted the experience on social media to inform the public, and 20% do not report these incidences.

How Malaysians Choose Trusted Sellers Online

In addition to the safety features offered by the platform itself, Malaysians also rely on social proof and other buyer endorsements when choosing a seller to buy from online. According to the survey, 7 in 10 respondents said that other buyer endorsements matter, with 33% looking at testimonials and reviews, 24% looking at store ratings, 12% looking at the number of loyal followers of the store, and 4% looking at top sales for the keywords searched.

The remaining buyers surveyed also check seller chat performance, cancellation rates and seller verification such as Shopee Mall, Preferred and Preferred+ tags to pick sellers to buy from.

This data suggests that Malaysians value the opinions of other buyers when making online purchases. They are also likely to choose sellers who have been verified by Shopee or who have a good track record of customer service. Social proof matters especially for buyers of Automotive, FMCG, Toys, Kids and Babies, Groceries and Pets, and Home and Living items.

Lavish Township of Bandar Sri Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan

Last month when I met my one of my former colleagues, he recommended me to dine at a really nice cafe, Jigger & Shaker at d'Tempat Country Club, Bandar Sri Sendayan. This cafe serves delicious local and international cuisines with reasonable pricing. He told me this was the best place to have gatherings with friends as it was famous for their live bands and unique recipes. After convincing me, I decided to try it out and drove there. 

As I entered the Township of Bandar Sri Sendayan, I was amazed by the beauty of the lush greenery, well-designed wide roads, the splendid architecture of the residential properties, many interesting restaurants and a few schools including Matrix Global International School. 

Since I was at d'Tempat Country Club, I decided to visit the Matrix Galleria to find out more about Bandar Sri Sendayan Township.

I was really surprised to see that d'Tempat Country Club was so huge, spanning about 380,000 sq ft and hosting many varieties of family-oriented activities. The first thing that caught my eyes was the Olympic-sized swimming pool. It was very big, clean and suitable for poolside dining too. There was also a wading pool with water slides for children. 

Besides the swimming pool, I never expected to see a really nice mini theatre. I really loved the comfortable and cozy seats there. This cineplex has a seating capacity of up to 30 people with fully equipped latest audio and video equipment for a great movie experience with friends and family. 

If you love to spend some quiet time reading, there's a Reading Room with many books and reading materials for all ages. This is a great place for the whole family to gain more knowledge by reading.

After a long day at work, there's d'SPA where you can pamper yourself to a good Thai massage. The packages offered are reasonably priced and the place looks very clean and comfortable.

For those who love sports, they will never get bored here because they can play badminton, tennis, squash or table tennis with their friends. There's also a large gym room with many cardio and strength training equipment facing a spectacular view of the swimming pool. Besides that, you can also enjoy bowling at the 10-lane bowling alley at The Sphere. 

It seems like I can find everything I want at the Township of Bandar Sri Sendayan. What's better is that there are many extreme outdoor activities at X Park Sendayan such as Go-Kart, Flying Fox, Wall-Climbing and ATV. There is also a golf driving range nearby for golf lovers.

When I was driving around, I saw many restaurants, supermarkets and shops at Sendayan Merchant Square. Staying in this township seem to be a very good place for the whole family because almost everything you need is available here. 

When I was at Matrix Galleria, I found out about the latest residential parcel called Bayu Sutera, Izara which is a stone's throw away from everything that fulfills a great residential lifestyle. Izara is the Lakeside residence with smart home features and is situated between 3.0-acres of Lake Park, resident's park, and 9.5-acres of Central Park. 

Bayu Sutera is a 216-acres of freehold development and Izara is the latest series of 200 units of 20' x 70' double storey link homes with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house design looks very spacious and comfortable. The smart home features include Auto Gate, Digital Lockset, Lighting Module, Aircond IR Blaster, Smart System Speaker.

The living room and dining area look very spacious.

I've always wanted a big kitchen area like this to cook for my family.

What I really love is that home owners can get a 5 years free membership at d'Tempat Country Club! Previous phases in Bayu Sutera were fully sold within a short period of time and this just goes to show how well the houses were accepted. If you are thinking of purchasing a house where you and your family can enjoy outdoor activities, study at a good international school and get almost everything you need in your housing area, you can consider Izara at Bayu Sutera, Sendayan. This is truly the perfect residential area to experience a fulfilling family life.

Northern Malaysia Leads the Way in Shopee Live Streams

 Shopee Spotlights Local reveals that the top performing Shopee live stream sellers from each state across Malaysia sold 4.6 Million ringgit in goods in the last twelve months by hosting more than 2,300 streams*. Shopee Live plays an integral role in driving the success of Malaysian businesses, as demonstrated by the recent 9.9 sales event where local sellers achieved a remarkable 36-fold order growth.  

Shopee revealed that half of the items sold by the most active livestream sellers were fashion, and this was evenly split between new and pre-loved apparel. This was closely followed by jewellery, perfume and beauty products which made up a quarter of livestream goods sold. 

Interestingly, the top four live stream sellers from Penang all sell jewellery, which may explain how the Northern region boasts the highest sales from Shopee Live of all regions with 1.5 million ringgit in goods sold followed by the Central region at 1.2 million ringgit sold. The most active region on Shopee Live is the East Coast with 30% of all streams coming from Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang sellers. All states except Johor have livestream sellers who sell bundled and preloved goods.

Ranked by sales orders achieved during the live streams all year, top performing sellers in Malaysia on Shopee Live were: firstly, NaNNa Crystal Jewellery from Penang, secondly, ____SSLine29____her’s bag Heanny from Sarawak and third, Miera E-store from Kuala Lumpur selling preloved goods. Momo House from Kedah is a Shopee Preferred + seller with 1 million followers, the most of any livestreamer. 

Shopee Live sellers have benefited from the high levels of customer engagement and wide reach, demonstrating impressive growth. One such seller is Lulu Waniey, the owner of Lulu Resources from Kota Bharu, Kelantan, that offers Muslimah clothing**.

Before Shopee Live, Lulu operated in offline markets like Pasar Malam and Pasar Pagi. Some days, she could barely make RM100, facing constraints like renting a physical store and inconsistent market timings. She changed her own fortunes by embracing Shopee Live, which expanded her customer base, and boosted her sales significantly up to RM100,000 per month. 

Shopee Live's flexible scheduling allowed her to connect with customers at optimal shopping times, while eliminating physical store costs. Personalised content and built-in engagement activities drove strong customer relationships.

Lulu shared, "I am now 100% on Shopee Live. Having learned the ropes and gained confidence, I feel like I have my own large store, where customers eagerly await my broadcasts. What's more, I now have a better work-life balance, spending more quality time with my family. Running my business on Shopee Live has brought me not only joy but also fulfilment."

Meanwhile, Ooi Zhi Wei, owner of Zhi Wei Herb selling Grade-A nutritional herbs and nuts, was an early adopter of Shopee Live in 2019***. Zhi Wei embraced face-to-face interactions with customers, offered real-time product demonstrations, and ensured transparency on every live stream. Zhi Wei let shoppers see exactly what they would get when making a purchase, and developed strong relationships by allowing direct questions and answers.

Like Lulu Resources, Zhi Wei Herb saw immediate results. “My store performance improved markedly. Stronger relationships with my clients translated into higher store traffic. For instance, if we had 12,000 viewers during a session, approximately 70% of them would subsequently visit our Shopee store.”
