The National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) has pledged almost RM1 million from its own coffers, to help provide for their patients' subsistence during this economically challenging period. 
The leading non-profit organization has been providing subsidised dialysis treatments in Malaysia for over 30 years. Now NKF is taking another huge step − going above its call of duty for kidney health − by providing a major one-off financial assistance to its patients for their daily living needs.
"The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the cost of living and it has not spared anyone, including our dialysis patients who are generally from the lower income group. At NKF, the welfare of patients − physically and psychologically − is of paramount importance. As part of our commitment to holistic care, we are providing this financial assistance to give our patients a lifeline throughout this pandemic and movement control order (MCO) for food and other daily necessities." said Dato' Dr Zaki Morad Mohamad Zaher, Chairman of NKF Malaysia. 

The foundation’s 27 dialysis centres nationwide currently have 1712 patients and the financial assistance with an allocation of RM600 for each eligible patient will be channelled in 2 payments of RM300 in May and June 2020.

Kidney patients on dialysis are dependent on a four-hour treatment, hooked to a dialysis machine, three times a week for the rest of their lives. Often, patients are initially traumatized when they find out that they have end-stage kidney failure, and that to survive, they need continuous dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant. Understandably, many have difficulty leading normal lives or finding regular employment. So, it is crucial they have access to affordable dialysis treatment in a caring environment.

"Amid such tough circumstances, dialysis patients can certainly do with more tender loving care and hope. At NKF, we are serious in assisting our patients in this time of need and we will ensure that the PRESS RELEASE financial assistance totalling almost RM1 million will be distributed prudently in aid of their welfare." Zaki added on this good news.

Members of the public who are interested in contributing towards the organisation's efforts for dialysis patients can find out more through NKF’s website at http://www.nkf.org.my or call 016-230 1072.

The holy month of Ramadan is here, marking a month of fasting, prayers and reflection for our Muslim friends. Before performing prayers, Muslims must go through the ritual of ablution or wudhu (the process of washing before prayers). For women, it could be challenging finding halal- certified beauty products to suit their skin. 
Korean beauty brand Mamonde has taken into account its different customers’ needs and has gone the extra mile to come up with products that use ingredients without any alcohol or animal substances. 
This Ramadhan, Mamonde recommends its Ceramide and Rose Water ranges that are compliant with the faith. The products from these ranges are certified halal and wudhu-friendly, which means they can be freely used without having to be removed before prayers. They also contain moisturising properties that are ideal for the skin especially during the fasting month when water consumption is restricted.
Moisture Ceramide Range 
For the Ceramide range, Mamonde focuses on the Hibiscus Flower as its research has uncovered the flower’s moisturising properties that can offer hydration benefits to the skin. The popular Ceramide range is formulated with moisturising Hibiscus extract along with ceramide, its key ingredient. 

The ideal combination of the Hibiscus extract and Ceramide helps to strengthen the skin’s outer barrier by keeping moisture close to the skin. This range is especially suitable for dry and dehydrated skin. Upon application, skin instantly feels fresh and moisturised without having any sticky residue. 

The products under the Ceramide range that have been given halal certification are Ceramide Skin Softener, Ceramide Emulsion, Ceramide Light Cream and The Ceramide Intense Cream.

Ceramide Skin Softener (200 ml, RM70) 
This intensive moisturising toner helps protect the skin’s moisture barrier that has been damaged by external environment factors and provides a boost of hydration to the skin without leaving any sticky residue. It also contains the moisturising agent Betaine extracted from beet to further moisturise the skin. Suitable for those experiencing flaky/sensitive/rough skin. 

Ceramide Emulsion (150 ml, RM80) 
Helps in strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier and provides moisture to the skin. Its lightweight creamy texture is absorbed quickly into the skin. 

Ceramide Light Cream (50 ml, RM131) 
This has double the moisturising ingredient made up of mainly hibiscus extract to strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, leaving the skin feeling moisturised and looking healthy. A lighter alternative for those with combination skin.

Ceramide Intense Cream (50 ml, RM131) 
Works like the Light Cream to provide a boost of moisture to the skin. Ceramide is quickly absorbed and the double content of moisturising ingredients extracted from the Hibiscus helps to strengthen the skin’s barrier to create a moist and healthy-looking skin. Suitable for those with flaky, sensitive and rough skin.

Rose Water Range 
Mamonde’s Rose Water Range uses 100% Organic Damask Rose as its main ingredient for its Rose Water range. Picked by trained experts when the morning dew is at its peak, the Damask Rose is highly-prized for its top quality. Rose extracts from the Mamonde Rose Water Range is grown in the Rose Valley in Turia village, Bulgaria. 

Some of the key benefits of this range include instant soothing and moisturising while the lovely scent helps to soothe the senses. 

Products in the Rose Water range included in the halal list are the Rose Water Toner, Rose Water Gel Cream and the Rose Water Soothing Gel.
Rose Water Toner (250 ml, RM85) 
Infused with 90.97% rose water, Mamonde Rose Water Toner helps provide excellent soothing and moisturizing care for the skin. When applied, it absorbs into the skin and immediately softens rough, flaky skin to reveal a clear and vibrant complexion. 

Rose Water Toner Pad (40 sheets, RM70) 
This is a rosy pad soaked in Rose Water Toner that can be used as a toner or a sheet mask. Functions are similar of the Rose Water Toner, it provides excellent soothing and moisturizing care for the skin. The Rose Water Toner Pad is ultra-lightweight and mesh. Upon application, the rose pad fits closely to the skin to remove dead skin cells and aid in delivering the rose water deeper into the skin. 

Rose Water Gel Cream (80 ml, RM99) 
A refreshing moisturizing cream effective for soothing and intensive skin moisturizing care. The Rose Water Gel Cream is light-weight and has a non-sticky texture. When applied, it forms a moisture barrier on the skin and keeps the skin hydrated for an extended time. To achieve optimum result, use the Rose Water Toner/Rose Water Toner Pad followed by the Rose Water Gel Cream for a double-layered moisturising effect that will result in a smooth and dewy skin inside out. 

Rose Water Soothing Gel (300 ml, RM55) 
The Mamonde Rose Water Soothing Gel is a multi-purpose soothing gel infused with 90.81% of rose water that penetrates quickly onto skin and provides the skin with rich moisture.

Libresse® launches the “KNOW YOUR V” Campaign to offer knowledge and facts about V-Zone health so that more women are informed and empowered about their own bodies, and able to take ownership of an important aspect of their own health.


A recent survey conducted by Libresse® revealed that V-Zone knowledge is low among Malaysian women, with 69 percent who have mistakenly identified a diagram of a woman’s reproductive system.  In addition, 63 per cent of respondents have not seen and know what a vulva was. The survey also found that almost four out of ten women feel uncomfortable using the word ‘vagina’ in conversations, perpetuating the cultural taboos surrounding V-Zone conversations.

These results point to a significant gap in knowledge, which may prevent women from taking the appropriate action when faced with common problems like infections or lead to a delay in identifying symptoms of serious health conditions.

To help increase awareness of V-Zone knowledge, Libresse® teams up with Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Dr Patricia Lim Su-Lyn to provide credible information about V-Zone health in a fun and interesting way, lending her medical experience and insights on V-Zone health through the campaign’s ongoing digital and educational initiatives.

To engage with more women and break the ice surrounding V-Zone awareness, the “KNOW YOUR V” Campaign introduces ‘The V Game’. This first-ever, interactive boardgame will be given away via social media, schools and in-store. Set to trigger V-Zone conversations among women of all ages, participants will role-play in everyday situations that women face, from dealing with their monthly period to talking about V-Zone health. The game guides players and provides solutions that resolve these situations, while offering facts on how women can care for and love themselves, including appropriate care for the delicate V-Zone. 

In line with this effort to reach as many women as possible, Dr Lim is supportive of the campaign’s effort to educate women so they can be informed and proactive about their V-Zone health. 

“Knowledge is power, and women need to be taught from an early age to take charge of their V-Zone health – nobody else can do this for them. This includes taking note of their monthly period cycle and any irregularities, conducting vaginal self-examinations and seeing a gynae annually for check-ups,” explained Dr Lim. “If it’s part of your own body, you don’t have to feel embarrassed about checking it yourself and have gynaecologists look at your V-Zone. You should know what it looks like when it’s healthy, and notice when something is wrong. It’s also not enough that most women only see a gynaecologist when they get pregnant or have an infection. Health screenings like Pap smears are important to detect possible health problems early.”
