How One Woman’s Childhood Dream Built a Sanctuary for Over 1,000 Mothers
Kuala Lumpur, 4th October 2024 – The postpartum period is often a time of joy and bonding, but for many mothers, it can also bring challenges that extend far beyond sleepless nights.
In Malaysia, studies have revealed that as many as 14.29% of new mothers suffer from postpartum depression, with factors such as lack of spousal support and mood disturbances playing a major role in this mental health struggle.
Lobby – Little Precious Postnatal Care
Recognising a need for enhanced postpartum care and support, Little Precious Postnatal Care (LPPC), founded by award-winning architect and interior designer Katrine Cheong, serves as a sanctuary where mothers receive the support they need for recovery—both physically and emotionally.
Emerald Suite
Designed by Katrine, LPPC’s luxurious interiors have received accolades, including the prestigious MIID REKA AWARD 2021 for Design Excellence, Asia Pacific Property Award 2021 for Best in Public Service Interior, and the Aoyama Design Forum (ADF) Award Winner 2021. Every detail of the facility reflects Katrine’s background as a leading architect and designer, ensuring unparalleled comfort and serenity for all guests.
Katrine Cheong, Founder of Little Precious Postnatal Care
“From the moment a mother steps through our doors, she is enveloped by an environment designed to soothe and uplift,” explains Katrine Cheong, Founder of Little Precious Postnatal Care.
Katrine’s journey is as inspiring as the sanctuary she has built. At just 10 years old and facing early life challenges, she aspired to become an architect, vowing to build her dream home.
Ruby Suite
“I grew up in a small partitioned room without windows, sleeping on a simple mattress on the floor above a shop lot. While it was a challenging environment, it ignited a determination in me to create something greater—not only for myself but for others as well. Today, through LPPC, I have designed a space where mothers can experience unparalleled comfort, care, and tranquillity,” reflects Katrine.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Meal – Little Precious Postnatal Care
Heavily influenced by her family’s business in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Katrine integrates holistic approaches into every aspect of LPPC. Postnatal recovery is enriched through the careful preparation of TCM-based meals. Customising each menu to suit every mother’s needs, LPPC curates the best ingredients to support faster and more effective recovery, honouring centuries of Chinese tradition.
As a mother of three herself, Katrine deeply understands the physical and emotional demands of postpartum recovery.
“I have stepped into the shoes of postpartum mothers and there is so much detail in the needs that they require. We set ourselves apart as we are customer-oriented.
“We listen and cater to each individual needs. From customised nutrition to a balance of traditional and modern physicians attending to the mothers to ensure their best recovery within this 28 days period.
“We are also highly particular about safety and have implemented strict COVID-19 testing to ensure no major infections occur. Babies are taken care of with a nurse-to-baby ratio of 1:2. This allows mothers the chance to rest and recuperate with peace of mind,” Katrine further added.
LPPC Emsella Chair
As part of its comprehensive lineup, LPPC offers personalised and specialised professional care through a team of paediatricians, traditional Chinese medicine doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and lactation consultants.
LPPC Yoga Room
LPPC offers round-the-clock care with a team of 60 members, ensuring high standards of service for both mothers and newborns. The centre also incorporates music therapy and art therapy led by a physiotherapist focused on mental health for mothers, creating a holistic approach to postpartum care.
As the postpartum care industry continues to grow, LPPC stays ahead of the curve by continually upgrading its offerings and setting new standards in the industry. By blending innovative technology such as Emsella, a non-invasive medical device designed to improve pelvic floor health—the centre aids in faster recovery, helping mothers regain confidence and strength post-childbirth.
Since opening its doors during the height of the pandemic in 2020, LPPC has become a trusted sanctuary for over 1,000 mothers seeking exceptional postnatal care and support. LPPC is a beacon of luxurious comfort, cutting-edge technology, and traditional wisdom, setting a new standard in postpartum recovery.

Debuting the Japandi Fridge to pioneer artistic and innovative home-design appliances, cementing Toshiba’s leadership in the industry
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 3 October 2024 – Toshiba proudly announces the launch of the Japandi series, headlining the debut of its new Japandi Fridge – which reflects a strategic business move for the Toshiba brand to meet emerging Malaysian market trends for aesthetics and functional modern home living, further solidifying the brand’s leadership in the home appliance market.
The Japandi Fridge embodies the concept of the “Artistry of Harmony”, blending timeless design with innovative technology – catering to those who believe that “less is more”, embracing minimalism and simplicity in every detail. The fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian elegance brings a warm, harmonious touch to any kitchen or home setting, with soft, natural textures and recessed walnut handles enhancing the aesthetic.
Appealing to today’s affluent urban professionals including individuals managing both careers and families, it is apt for consumers seeking solutions that not only simplify their day-to-day routines but also reflect a shift in mindset toward quality, elegance, and functionality in their homes. This evolution underscores a desire for products that seamlessly blend practicality with premium aesthetics, allowing for a well-balanced, efficient lifestyle.
Toshiba all-new Japandi fridge
The Toshiba Japandi Fridge series, with its emphasis on simplicity, elegance, and coziness, perfectly aligns with this demand. The innovative SeamlessFit slot-in design optimizes kitchen and living space, allowing for perfect integration into modern lifestyles.
Behind its sleek exterior, the Japandi Fridge is designed with ultimate convenience in mind, incorporating innovative technologies that preserve food at optimal freshness. Equipped with OriginFresh, the Japandi series provides exclusive preservation technology for meat and fish. The -1°C Pro Aging Technology ensures that ingredients are kept at the ideal temperature to enhance the flavor and texture of food, while the Soft-Freeze Mode of -3°C maintains ingredients in a slightly frozen state, preserving their texture and quality for longer. Additionally, the Deep Freeze function, which freezes food quickly at -30°C, locks in both freshness and nutritional value. Meanwhile, Toshiba’s HydroFresh technology keeps fruit and vegetables nutritious and juicy, while the PureAIR system eliminates 99% of bacteria, viruses, and ethylene, providing 24-hour strong protection. For modern households seeking efficiency, the fridge also features an industry-leading 60-Minute Quick Ice Making option, ensuring it keeps up with busy lifestyles—all while maintaining a sophisticated, effortless aesthetic.

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 October 2024 – Pos Malaysia Berhad (“Pos Malaysia”), the national post and parcel service provider’s long-awaited flagship running event, Pos Malaysia Run 2024 debuted with a bang last Sunday on 29 September 2024, drawing more than 3,500 eager participants and their families to come together to celebrate health and community.
The inaugural run successfully turned the popular Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur into a bustling playground for runners of all ages and fitness levels as they set out to conquer three featured distances – Fun Run (6.2km), 10km and 15km.
Fiona Liao, Pos Malaysia’s Group Chief Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer (far right) with the top finishers of the 15km Open Men category at the inaugural Pos Malaysia Run 2024
“Last Sunday was truly a historic event for Pos Malaysia,” said Fiona Liao, Pos Malaysia’s Group Chief Marketing, Communications and Sustainability Officer. “After months of planning and eager announcements, our first-ever run burst onto the scene in spectacular fashion. It was an incredible feeling to welcome so many runners at the starting line and see waves of them flooding the streets of KL city centre while living up to our theme of ‘Jom Laju for Fun!’.
In line with its vision for a greener event, Pos Malaysia deployed electric bikes for marshal and operational support during the run while leading the runners for the 15km category was EON’s Smart 1 electric car. Additionally, the event’s running tees were made from 100% recycled materials, and the specially designed finisher medals were crafted from recycled plastic zip ties and metal. What set this run apart was the direct delivery of race packs to participants in eco-friendly packaging via Pos Malaysia’s electric vehicles as part of the Company’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This move was particularly well-received by participants who appreciated the convenience of not having to travel to a collection venue.
“Not only does this run celebrate Pos Malaysia’s heritage, it also reinforces our commitment to community building and healthy living with a focus on environmental responsibility. This is why we are especially proud to have made history as the first run in Malaysia to use reusable cups made from PP5 recyclable materials at all our water stations,” added Liao.
The event kicked off with an energising warm-up session, setting an enthusiastic tone for the day. Participants were treated to a festive atmosphere, complete with live music, food trucks, various games and activities, and lucky draws. Awards were given to top finishers in the 10km and 15km categories, along with a special prize for ‘Jaguh Bukit Award’, fostering a sense of camaraderie and friendly competition.
The success of the first Pos Malaysia Run 2024 was made possible with the support from EON Berhad, the main automotive partner, together with official sponsors Allianz Malaysia Berhad, Bank Muamalat, Cuckoo, Liberty Insurance, Spin, Tokio Marine Insurance and Yinson Green Tech. Also lending their support to the event were SkyBlue Media, Reebok, Chek Hup, Milo, Nature Loop, Sunway Theme Park, Blood, Opack, Perkeso, Mal-Tel Communication, Pos Aviation and Pos Shop.
“We are thankful to all the participants, and our partners and sponsors for their generous support. As we concluded our maiden run on a high note, we look forward to building on this year’s success and making the Pos Malaysia Run a beloved annual tradition in 2025 and beyond,” said Liao.
