ECOVACS ROBOTICS Introduces 9-in-1 DEEBOT T9 In Malaysia Our Best DEEBOT Just Got Better!

“The Best Just Got Better" with the first robotic vacuum cleaners in the market to combine upgraded vacuuming and mopping capabilities in one go



ECOVACS ROBOTICS, the world's leading home service robotics maker, today launched the DEEBOT T9, the first models with intelligent 9-in-1 obstacle avoidance robotic vacuum cleaner that combines powerful vacuuming and mopping functions with a built-in mobile air freshener. The upgraded DEEBOT T9 with these cutting-edge features is more powerful and smarter than ever before.

DEEBOT T9 raises the bar for home cleaning with 9 stunning features, including the ECOVACS' leading TrueDetect 3D 2.0, a real-time strategic obstacle detection and avoidance technology; TrueMapping 2.0 for precise navigation; ECOVACS HOME App upgraded with 3D Map, and OZMO™ Pro 2.0 Electric Oscillating Mopping System that ensures stubborn stains are removed more efficiently and quietly, compared to previous generation.

"We keep a close eye on market demand and there was a clear indication that consumers want smart products that make homecare even simpler, doing as much and as thorough as they can, in one go. ECOVACS is committed to giving consumers the latest in smart and unique cleaning experience," said David Qian, Chief Executive Officer of ECOVACS ROBOTICS. "We’ve introduced our new-generation technologies, combined with multiple features while adding even more to our DEEBOT T9 to make sure every inch and floor surface is covered. Our Best DEEBOT Just Got Better."

Upgraded ECOVACS HOME App with Improved Obstacle Avoidance and Navigation Technology
TrueDetect 3D 2.0 technology comes with an upgraded algorithm to quickly detect different types of obstacles and strategically avoid them. The DEEBOT T9 can detect object sizes right down to mere millimeters, which is ten times more accurate than products using traditional infra-red technology, with a detection range of 70-350 millimeters. Moreover, DEEBOT T9 can navigate smoothly in different indoor environments and lighting conditions without any interruptions, even in total darkness. TrueDetect 3D 2.0 technology allows the robotic vacuum cleaner to avoid collisions, entanglements, or disruptions, so users do not have to monitor the robot and clean it continuously.

Combining TrueDetect 3D 2.0 and TrueMapping 2.0 with 3D Maps brings a whole new level of automated cleaning efficiency and flexibility for users. They can quickly locate the robotic vacuum cleaner's exact position via the 2D and 3D Maps. They can also manage their entire cleaning task on-the-fly, by toggling between the 2D and 3D Maps with the upgraded ECOVACS HOME App.

The new ECOVACS HOME App is designed for intuitive use, enhancing the user experience and reinforces the ECOVACS branding. The App is easy to navigate, offering users an optimal cleaning route. The interface integrates all the common features so that users can access critical functions easily. They can customize the amount of water used, suction power, cleaning times, and routes for different rooms.



A Luxurious Cleaning Experience with Built-in Air Freshener
The DEEBOT T9 is the first in the industry to clean floors and freshen the air at the same time. Connected to the DEEBOT's mobile system, the air freshener gives users a vacuuming and fragrance experience that goes beyond traditional cleaning.

The air freshener's unique design releases the fragrance onto the floor directly to remove musty and pet odors, while the fan at the bottom of the air freshener unit spreads the fragrance evenly.

The air freshener uses replaceable capsules, that can last up to 60 days, featuring three kinds of fragrances. Users can choose to switch the air freshener on or off using the ECOVACS HOME App, and extend its lifespan.

Powerful In-depth Cleaning Performance with OZMO™ Pro 2.0 and Auto-Empty Station Compatibility
The DEEBOT T9 comes with latest OZMO™ Pro 2.0 Electric Oscillating Mopping System with a newly designed motor and movement structure that minimizes noise.

The enhanced suction power of 3000 Pa also raises the bar in cleaning performance. The high-strength fiberglass structure keeps the suction power consistent when vacuuming both hard floors and carpets. The high-frequency vibration of up to 480 times per minute increases the mopping performance, making it comparable to an electric mop.

The DEEBOT T9 uses a disposable mopping pad that can be safely discarded immediately after cleaning. The specially-designed microfibers absorb water evenly, efficiently capture dust, and reduce residual water stains. The composite structure increases friction between the mopping pad and the floor and helps the OZMO™ Pro 2.0 Electric Oscillating Mopping System effectively remove stubborn stains on the floor.

A power-up kit is available for the DEEBOT T9 that further enhances the cleaning performance and user experience. The Auto-Empty Station, which clears the robot's dustbin automatically after cleaning with minimal human intervention, is also compatible with DEEBOT T9.



Pricing and Availability
DEEBOT T9’s suggested retail price is RM2149. It is available for pre-orders starting from April 4 to 16 at Shopee. It will be officially available at Shopee’s Super Brand Day from April 17 – 18, with a special price of RM1949 and comes with a RM50 e-voucher and a free giftpack.

Sensors on the DEEBOT N8 PRO automatically switches between mopping mode or disabling cloth dampening, to guarantee a safer and deeper cleaning process. Without the cloth bracket, the water tank will not leak even if it is full. Users can manually mange the water yield through the ECOVACS HOME App accordingly.

The DEEBOT N8 PRO also comes with an upgraded disposable mopping pad that effectively remove stains and keep floors clean. It can remove over 99% of bacteria together with the use of OZMO™️ Mopping technology.

What to Eat and What to Avoid During the Month of Ramadhan

During Ramadan, millions of Muslims around the world focus on inner reflection and fast from dusk until dawn. The ongoing circumstances continue to change our lives in many different ways, especially during occasions and festivities. As a result of restricted movement, Muslims will observe the Holy Month from the comfort of their homes. If you fast during Ramadan, not only do you change your eating and sleeping patterns, but your body’s biological clock also undergoes a series of changes both physically and mentally. Dehydrated and hungry due to fasting, your body slows down your metabolism in order to use energy as efficiently as possible.

But you can still manage to fast and capture the spirit of Ramadan simply by drinking enough water and watching what you eat during sahur (the meal period before sunrise) and after iftar (the meal period after sunset).



Understanding Your Nutritional Needs
During Ramadan, to meet the amount of energy and nutrients your body needs during the day, you should eat foods rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, and you should make sure to drink enough water before your fast.



At the same time, this does not mean that you should eat everything you need at once during sahur. If you do that, your body cannot utilize the energy intake all at once, which may result in weight gain. This is because your metabolism adapts to eating patterns during Ramadan.

Adults need to drink 3 to 4 liters of water a day. Even though you get 40 percent of this amount from foods, fruit juice, mineral water, tea, and other beverages, you should still drink 1.5 and 2.5 liters of water a day. This means you should drink two or three glasses of water every hour from iftar to sahur.

What to Eat and What to Avoid
One of the most common mistakes is to eat snacks after iftar in order to suppress your appetite and then go to sleep, skipping sahur and staying hungry until the next iftar. You should always eat during sahur, preferably right before fasting starts. Eating before bedtime or avoiding eating during sahur may cause serious low blood sugar problems and dehydration the next day. As a result, you could feel dizzy and find difficulty in focusing during the day.

So, what should you eat during sahur to feel more energetic throughout the day? A light, healthy and filling breakfast is a great option. Before sunrise, you can eat dairy products and fresh vegetables such as cheeses, eggs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Additionally, you can always enjoy a soup, vegetables cooked in olive oil and fruits.

This combination meets your body’s daily energy, vitamin and protein needs. In addition to fruit, you should eat whole wheat bread and pasta or dates, figs, whole grains and seeds that are rich in carbs and fibers, which are good for your digestive system.

Dried fruits, walnuts and almonds are also great food supplements. They can make you feel full for long hours throughout the day. It’s not just the variety of food you eat, but also the portions that play a decisive role in your nutrition. You should choose smaller portions and eat wisely.

Staying Healthy and Hydrated During Ramadan
During Ramadan, you should avoid daily activities that can dehydrate your body, especially during hot days. If you work in hot weather conditions or are a professional athlete who wants to fast, use food supplements for a balanced and healthy diet that will support your daily activities.

If you regularly exercise you should continue to meet your daily energy, protein, and water needs during the times you are not fasting. Additionally, lower your exercise duration by 30 percent during Ramadan.

Breaking the fast with easily digestible foods is a good, healthy option too. During Ramadan, people tend to eat a lot of food very quickly after many long hours of fasting. But try breaking your fast with soup, then water, fresh-squeezed fruit juice, so you can hydrate your body after a long day of dehydration, and then eat the main course 10 or 15 minutes later. This will prevent excessive food intake by giving you a sense of fullness, which in turn will help your digestive system.

For the main course, grilled, boiled or steamed meat, chicken or vegetable dishes are good options. By chewing your food thoroughly and taking a walk an hour or two hours after iftar, you can aid your digestive and cardiovascular systems.

Ramadan is indeed a sacred time of year and fasting is an important part of this holy month, but as you can see, there are plenty of options available to fast and stay healthy and nourished.

#SkuadKebaikanMILO returns to nourish and energise communities in-need for Ramadan

Safe, convenient way to spread goodness through an online giving community



MILO® is once again deploying its #SkuadKebaikanMILO, encouraging Malaysians to spread goodness and support communities most in-need during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. Partnering Shopee for the second year, MILO® aims to build on the #SkuadKebaikanMILO platform it established last year and rally Malaysians to make their charitable contributions towards providing nourishment to those in-need.

Maria Murni Nur Azmi

#SkuadKebaikanMILO offers Malaysians a safe and convenient way to give back to the community during these challenging times. According to Maria Murni Nur Azmi, Consumer Marketing Manager – MILO®, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, “We understand that keeping safe distances from one another does not stop Malaysians from doing good. As such, we are bringing back #SkuadKebaikanMILO so that Malaysians can continue to help one another more easily while staying safe.”

Through #SkuadKebaikanMILO, Malaysians have the option to purchase any of the four MILO® goodness bundle packs containing MILO® powder and other Nestlé products priced at RM25, RM55, RM95 and RM155 each. All bundles purchased will be donated equally to seven charity organisations serving B40 communities, old folks, single mothers and orphans. The organisations are Human Aid Selangor, Kuching Food Aid, The Lost Food Project, Malaysian Relief Aid, Food Aid Foundation and Yayasan Persona, as well as selected residents of Pangsapuri Sri Tanjung, USJ 16 in Subang Jaya, Selangor through a partnership with ASTRO.

On top of the bundle packs, for every 1 unit of participating MILO® products purchased from the Nestlé Online Store on Shopee Malaysia, RM1 worth of selected Nestlé products will be contributed to the listed beneficiaries.

Last year’s campaign drew an overwhelmingly positive response from Malaysians who welcomed this effort. “We are grateful for the support and deeply heartened by not only the contributions our fellow Malaysians made but the appreciation that they shared for our role in enabling a giving online community. This year, as we recognise the perseverance and resilience of our communities in rebuilding their lives, we want to keep #SkuadKebaikanMILO going so that by providing those in-need the nourishment for everyday energy, we can go even further stronger, together,” added Murni.

Celebrity Datuk Aznil Hj Nawawi, or fondly known as Pak Nil continues his support for #SkuadKebaikanMILO this year to help raise donations and deliver the goodness bundles to deserving families.

One fellow Malaysian who is joining #SkuadKebaikanMILO again this year is multi-hyphenate entertainer Datuk Aznil Hj Nawawi, or fondly known as Pak Nil. His support began last year after reaching out to a family who had fallen on hard times due to the pandemic and could not afford MILO® for the children. Using his personal platform to spread goodness in the month of Ramadan, Pak Nil helps to collect donations online, all of which he will use to purchase the goodness bundle packs that he himself will then deliver to the community.

A family receives a #SkuadKebaikanMILO bundle from Pak Nil.

Join #SkuadKebaikanMILO and do your part to spread the goodness this Ramadan. For more details, logon to: https://www.milo.com.my/skuadkebaikan-milo. Campaign starts 5 April 2021 and ends 10 May 2021.

Spritzer Natural Mineral Water Passes Test for Plastics Contaminants

Laboratory test shows no microplastics detected in natural mineral water sample

Spritzer Malaysia (“Spritzer” or the “Company”), which produces Malaysia’s best-selling natural mineral water, has released the results of an analysis conducted by SIRIM, a reputable independent laboratory showing that no microplastics have been detected in Spritzer’s silica-rich natural mineral water.

The laboratory had recently conducted tests from a sample taken from a 600ml Spritzer Natural Mineral Water bottle produced on 21 January 2021 and did not detect any synthetic polymers or microplastics, even when examined under 50 times magnification.

This is in contrast to research conducted by the State University of New York – Fredonia (“SUNY-Fredonia”) titled “Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water” revealing that many international brands of bottled water were contaminated with microplastics, which, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the European Chemicals Agency, are very small fragments of plastic originating from various industrial and manufacturing processes and products that can contaminate natural ecosystems.

The tests done by SUNY-Fredonia covered 259 individual bottles from 27 different lots across 11 brands, purchased from 19 locations in nine countries around the world. The SUNY-Fredonia report noted that there was an average of 325 particles per litre, with concentration ranging from zero to more than 10,000 particles in a single bottle. From the samples, the report found that 93% were found to contain microplastics.

Most notably, the SUNY-Fredonia tests showed that microplastics were detected in the samples from these brands ranging from 6.5 uM (micrometre) to 100 uM in sizes. However, the recent analysis conducted by the independent laboratory showed that in these ranges and even up to 1uM, no microplastics were detected in Spritzer Natural Mineral Water.

The findings from SIRIM are a powerful affirmation of the stringent quality processes practiced by Spritzer, and a testament to its efforts in ensuring that the pristine 330-acre site in Taiping, Perak located near a tropical rainforest from which the Company draws the sources of its natural mineral water, is kept clean and safe for consumption.

Spritzer, which has won awards for the refreshing taste of its mineral water as well as various certifications for product processing, is committed to protecting the integrity, quality, safety and purity of this natural water source with automated and advanced bottling technology used to ensure that it is free from pollution.

Silica-rich mineral water has also been found to be beneficial to health, as research by UK-based Keele University has found. Those who consume 1- to 1.5 litres of Spritzer Natural Mineral Water can reduce or eliminate aluminium toxins found in their bodies as the silicate acid in the natural mineral water bonds with the toxins that are then passed out as urine.

ShopeePay boosts footfall for offline merchants with new ‘Deals Near Me’ feature

Users can discover and redeem vouchers in-store from nearby merchants from as low as 5 sen throughout the Raya Bersama Shopee campaign



Mobile wallet ShopeePay has developed a new feature known as ‘Deals Near Me’ that will efficiently connect ShopeePay users to offline merchants, offering the best deals in their immediate vicinity, just in time for the Raya Bersama Shopee campaign happening now till 14 May.

‘Deals Near Me’ is an online-to-offline (O2O) feature that uses location-based services to help users discover ShopeePay Vouchers by nearby merchants including cafes, restaurants, and services. Users can easily purchase vouchers on the Shopee app, and redeem them immediately at participating outlets to enjoy attractive cashback when they pay with ShopeePay.

Alain Yee

According to Alain Yee, Head of ShopeePay Malaysia, the vouchers will help offline merchants connect with users who are going online first to look for daily essentials and food. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted shopping and consumption habits of Malaysians and this, in turn, has raised the importance for offline merchants to reach customers in new ways.

“Deals Near Me helps merchants improve their online visibility and direct would-be customers to their outlets when we feature their cashback deals to consumers that are already in the vicinity. Showing the relevant deals to consumers can also lead to higher conversion and tangible sales for merchants. This is important for business recovery after an extended lockdown period which adversely impacted offline retailers, especially those in the service sector. We also believe that this new feature creates a win-win situation for both our users and participating merchants as we enable a convenient, seamless and rewarding shopping experience,” he said.

Since 1 April, the feature has driven footfall of over 100,000 customers to the 130 early adopters of Deals Near Me. Top merchants include MR DIY, Tealive and The Black Whale.

Launched during the Raya Bersama Shopee campaign, there are vouchers specially curated for Ramadan that can be found at three different times of the day: Sahur Specials at 5AM, Jom Berbuka dengan ShopeePay at 12PM, and Moreh Specials at 10PM.

The vouchers can be bought for just 5 sen to earn up to RM8 cashback, from merchants such as Nasi Kandar Pelita, Nando’s, TGI Friday’s, Boat Noodle, Johnny’s, OLDTOWN White Coffee, J.Co Donut and Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart.

The Raya Bersama Shopee campaign will also offer users free shipping with no minimum spend and deals from as low as RM1.

Users should take note of two very special days - the Jualan Hebat Raya on 23 April and Pesta Jualan Raya on 5 May, that will offer Malaysians irresistible deals and discounts of up to 80% on home appliances, furniture, Hari Raya outfits, decorations and more in preparation for Hari Raya.

Adding to the cheer on these special days, users will be entertained with the Raya Bersama Shopee Show on 23 April at 10PM, followed by Jom Heboh Di Rumah on 4 May at 9PM and 5 May at 2PM, aired on Shopee Live, TV3 and Tonton. The shows will feature Shopee’s Hari Raya Brand Ambassador, Iman Troye, as well as local artists and celebrities including Anuar Zain, Ernie Zakri, Kaka Azraff, Syamel, Chef Wan and more.

Tan Ming Kit

Tan Ming Kit, Senior Manager (Marketing), Shopee Malaysia shared that the e-commerce platform would also be providing convenience to Malaysians who want to give back to society during Ramadan through the #ShopeeGivesBack umbrella.

“We also want to use our platform’s capabilities to offer people the means to do good. Donate from RM1 to Budimas Charitable Foundation, Pertubuhan Kasih Neelofa, Protect and Save the Children, SimplySiti Di Hati, Shelter Home for Children, Ukhwah for Ummah, and more to provide financial aid to underprivileged children and families. Additionally, celebrities such as Siti Nordiana, Izzue Islam and Farahanim Razak will discuss social issues and their views on charity on Shopee Live at 3PM, every Friday during the campaign,” Tan said.

The Hari Raya celebrations will be even more exciting with two units of Perodua Ativa, Yamaha motorbikes, up to 25 million Shopee Coins and other great prizes to be won when Malaysians take part in One or Not as well as Share and Win Prizes.

The Kotak Duit Raya game show also returns every Monday to Friday at 12PM on Shopee Live, where users stand to win a grand prize of RM3,000 cash daily which will snowball to a maximum of RM9,000 if there are no winners.
