Snappea, a new pea drink, with health and sustainability in mind

Snappea, a new plant-based drink made from peas, has been launched in Malaysia. Snappea is a pea-focus brand which focuses on promoting peas as a healthier and more sustainable food source.

The name Snappea comes from snapping, as people tend to snap their fingers when thinking about ideas, hence Snappea (snap + pea), explained Justin Chan, Founder of Snappea.

The company sources the peas from Canada as the North American country is the largest producer of yellow peas in the world. Pea has a very clean taste, which is suitable to use in beverages like dairy-free milk alternatives.

High in protein and 100% vegan

Snappea has 10 times more protein than almond and 20% more than dairy milk. In addition, Snappea is 100% vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, soy-free and comes with 170g plant-based calcium per cup. So regardless whether you are vegan, lactose-intolerant or allergic to soy or gluten, Snappea can basically be consumed by anyone.

Sustainable food source

Peas are one of the most sustainable food sources in the world, explained Justin. In addition, peas are super nutritious and much less water intensive. To produce the same amount of protein, peas require seven times less water compared to nuts like almond.

Peas are super friendly to soil because they help in nitrogen fixing. Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical elements for plants. If there is not enough nitrogen available in the soil plants look pale and their growth is stunted. Peas are one of the few nitrogen fixing plants, which means they work together with nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia, to “fix” nitrogen. Nitrogen from the air diffuses into the ground. The rhizobia chemically converts that nitrogen to make it available for the plant. In short, by planting peas, the soil can be enriched without the use of artificial fertilizers. 

Available online and at major retail chains

Currently Snappea is available online on Lazada and Shopee and offline in major retail chains in Malaysia such as Jaya Grocer. More retail outlets will be carrying Snappea products soon, said Justin.

Snappea welcomes any potential importers especially in the Asia region who are interested in Snappea. The company said it has received many enquiries from end-consumers about the availability of Snappea in their regions. Anyone interested to be Snappea’s stockists/distributors, feel free to drop them an email at hey@snappeafood.com.

All ingredients Snappea use are Halal certified and Snappea is produced in halal-certified facilities. Snappea is pending Halal approval for the end products, which the company in the midst of applying.

Snappea is available in Simply Unsweetened, Utterly Original and Richly Chocolate flavours.

Purchase Snappea from the official Snappea store on Lazada and Shopee.

adidas Malaysia presents “The Original”

By
Tan Heng Hong
-

For Spring/Summer 2025, adidas Originals shifts focus from celebrating its cultural legacy to inspiring future generations with “The Original” – a campaign built on the powerful premise that revolutionary change begins with just one.

Originals have always donned the iconic franchises that adidas have given to the world. At the center of the campaign are silhouettes that have continued to chart a course for the thousands that adopted them across culture: the Superstar II, the Handball Spezial, the Samba OG and the Firebird Tracksuit.

Today, adidas Malaysia brings The Original Lounge to life at adidas Originals, The Gardens Mall — a space dedicated to amplify music and spotlight rising local talents. More than just a pop-up, it’s a celebration of self-expression and a place for today’s Originals to gather, connect, and be inspired.

The campaign is anchored by Ismail Izzani and DOLLA, artists who embody the spirit of the brand. Fearless, boundary-breaking, and unapologetically themselves, they represent a generation that moves to its own rhythm. Whether it’s Ismail’s genre-defying sound or DOLLA’s bold reinvention of the local music scene, both are reshaping the landscape — and doing it on their own terms.

At the heart of this concept is the brand’s collaborative vision with celebrated director Thibaut Grevet, whose distinctive visual language has shaped the cultural landscape through his work, which like Originals itself, navigates a space speaking to sport, music and fashion alike. It takes vision, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity to create something truly original — qualities that define both his work and adidas Originals’ iconic silhouettes.

Grevet brings his signature style to an evocative film that captures the essence of originality. Through his lens, we witness the power of those who inspired the thousands that followed in their footsteps—told through masterful juxtapositions where the energy of the crowd sets the stage as we find each Original in their space. Behind it all, the soundtrack speaks volumes: “Only You (And You Alone)” by The Platters.

The film is just the starting point.

It just takes one.

Before there can be a thousand.

There’s always The Original.

The collection is now available, with prices as follows:

  • Superstar II Shoes– From RM569.00
  • Handball Spezial – RM449.00
  • Samba OG – RM569.00
  • Firebird Track Top – RM429.00
  • Firebird Track Pant – RM379.00

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 April 2025 – SAFI, Malaysia’s No.1 halal beauty brand, proudly announces the return of its Biasiswa Siswi SAFI Scholarship Programme with an allocation of up to RM1,000,000* in funding. Now in its second year, the initiative will award outstanding eligible Malaysian female students with financial support of up to RM40,000* each to pursue higher education in public universities (IPTA).

The scholarship programme was introduced through SAFI’s emotionally resonant Raya film, which premiered on 1 March 2025. The film, which captures the aspirations and struggles of young women, also served to officially launch the application process for this year’s intake.

“Education has the power to transform lives. As Malaysia’s leading halal beauty brand, we believe every young woman should have the opportunity to pursue her dreams,” said Kazlina Mohd Kassim, SAFI Brands and Insights Specialist. “This programme aims to remove the barriers—financial, societal, and structural—that prevent girls from achieving their full potential.”

Eligible applicants must be Malaysian female students aged 18 to 25, currently enrolled in a public university with a minimum CGPA of 3.0. Applications are open until 30 June 2025 via biasiswasiswisafi.com.my

Recipients are not contractually bound to SAFI after graduation, unlike many other scholarships. Instead, they gain access to career development opportunities, including internships and priority consideration for SAFI’s Management Trainee Programme.

Shortlisted candidates will go through a selection process starting with a video submission, followed by an immersive boot camp designed to assess communication, leadership, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

Last year’s programme received over 900 applications, underscoring the significant demand for academic support among Malaysian women. Aishah Umairah Binti Ariffin, a 2024 recipient from Universiti Putra Malaysia, shared: “The scholarship has relieved my family’s financial burden and allowed me to focus fully on my studies.”

To reach more applicants, SAFI will organise on-ground outreach programmes throughout April and May 2025:

  • Two-day roadshows at 5 universities: UiTM Puncak Alam, UKM Bangi, UPM Serdang, UTM Skudai, and UUM Sintok.
  • Single-day roving events at 15 campuses nationwide from the Klang Valley to Perlis and Sabah.

Another key highlight is the Malaysian debut of the Property Wealth System (PWS), developed by Kelvin Fong, Executive Director of PropNex Singapore. For the first time, the public will have access to this proven real estate wealth-building method that has helped thousands achieve financial success.

Adding to the excitement, registered XPO attendees will also stand a chance to win an electric vehicle, making this one of the most dynamic property events of the year.

PropNex Malaysia returns for the announcement of its seventh and largest edition of Property XPO, happening on 26 and 27 July 2025.

“This year’s XPO will be on a whole new scale,” added Marcus. “It’s not just about numbers — it’s about empowering every visitor to walk away with confidence, clarity, and the ability to act on real property opportunities.”

Last year’s Property XPO drew more than 3,000 visitors and recorded RM38 million in sales. With this year’s ASEAN Records Official Attempt and broader participation from major developers, the 2025 edition is set to surpass all expectations.
