MALAYSIA, Kuala Lumpur (12 September 2024) – Tetra Pak, a world-leading processing and packaging solutions company, has published a whitepaper that introduces an innovative approach to sugar reduction in fruit juices. This development comes in response to the growing health concerns around sugar and the implementation of regulatory policies across Southeast Asia.
Consumers are becoming more health-conscious than ever, veering away from food and beverage products with high-sugar[1] content, and showing a shift towards plant-based alternatives[2]. Subsequently, this has prompted F&B companies to consider reformulating products to create delicious beverages such as juices without relying on sugar and artificial sweeteners to align with new regulations[3] and growing consumer demands. This has posed an industry challenge of reducing sugar while maintaining taste and nutritional value, prompting significant research and development efforts in this field.
Tetra Pak has developed a new approach to reducing sugar in fruit juices, as detailed in their new whitepaper. This method utilizes controlled fermentation to lower intrinsic sugars such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose in fruit juices.
Through controlled fermentation, Tetra Pak’s process can reduce the sugar content in juice to almost zero. This zero-sugar juice can then be blended with regular juice to achieve the desired level of sugar reduction. This innovative process ensures that the juice’s taste and nutritional quality remain intact, leveraging their well-established industry technologies.
John Jose, Marketing Director of Tetra Pak Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, and Indonesia, said “Health and regulatory trends are spurring tremendous innovation within the F&B sector. We are always on the pulse of the consumer needs and ready to help our F&B customers solve challenges with our latest technology and expertise. With our advanced fermentation process, we can cut down the sugar content in juice significantly. This process allows us to create a juice that can be blended to meet any desired level of sweetness, without compromising on taste or quality.”
The whitepaper highlights that this approach has been validated through technical and consumer tests. It opens significant opportunities for the F&B industry to develop a new category of reduced-sugar juices and drinks. It also delves into the changing consumer attitudes towards sugar, provides an in-depth overview of the fermentation process, and explores the potential of this new beverage category.
As the F&B industry evolves to meet new health standards and consumer preferences, the need for innovative solutions becomes increasingly important. Tetra Pak’s commitment to research and development ensures that their partners have access to the most innovative technologies available.
Jose added: “We have over 70 years of experience in beverage production, delivering food processing and packaging equipment around the world. Given our extensive specialist knowledge and our innovative ability to combine technology with food application expertise, we are uniquely positioned to support our F&B partners in navigating the challenges of sugar reduction. Our reliable and practical approach towards the fermentation process represents yet another advancement in the field.”

Holiday season is filled with the promise of new experiences and relaxation. To help you maximize holiday enjoyment and minimize stress, Kaspersky experts have compiled this guide offering a collection of tips and tricks, designed to help you navigate common travel scenarios smoothly.
Transport
Navigating through new destinations brings its own set of challenges and adventures. A good understanding of your travel options is key to a seamless and enjoyable journey, letting you focus on the excitement of exploration rather than the details of transit.
Research local transport options
It’s wise to research the available transportation options at your destination such as public transit, taxis, rideshares, and bike rentals. A good option is to download transportation schemes and offline maps at your smartphone, in case you encounter any internet issues.
Use a navigation app popular in the area
Local apps often provide better guidance than more common options like Google Maps. Ensure you download these applications from official stores and keep your security solution active to avoid installing malicious or phishing software.
Pre-plan your transport payments
Decide how you’ll pay for transit before you arrive. Whether it’s a travel card or mobile payments, having this sorted make travelling smoother.
Stay aware of your surroundings
Keep alert, especially in unfamiliar places. Reducing distractions such as headphones can help you stay safe and responsive.
Avoid peak travel times
Traveling during off-peak hours is more comfortable and reduces the risk of dealing with crowds or pickpocketing.
Manage your money wisely on public transport
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash when using public transport. It’s safer to distribute your money across different pockets to minimize potential loss.
Observe local driving laws
If you plan to drive or cycle, familiarize yourself with local traffic rules to prevent accidents.
Keep emergency contacts accessible
Save important local emergency numbers in your phone and carry a backup written list. Being prepared can make all the difference in urgent situations.
Accommodation
Choosing the right accommodation is crucial for a successful trip as it affects everything from budget to daily schedule. Often, the entire impression and enjoyment of your vacation depends on the choice of place to stay. Here are some recommendations to ensure you make the best hotel choice.
Explore the geography of the destination
Research different areas of your destination to determine which neighborhoods are most enjoyable and safest. This will help you select a hotel that matches your needs, preferences and budget.
Verify payment security
Use trusted search engines dedicated to holidays to access booking sites directly, avoiding links from emails or social media to prevent fraud. Enhance your security with solutions that detect unsafe and phishing websites.
Let staff know about special occasions
Hotels often go the extra mile for guests celebrating special events such as an anniversary or birthday, offering complimentary treats, upgrades, or personalized services.
Choose a corner room
Corner rooms usually offer more space and better views, and they also tend to be quieter as they share fewer walls with other rooms.
Download the hotel’s mobile app before your arrival
Many hotels offer mobile check-in, keyless room entry, and the ability to request services directly from your phone, which can streamline your experience and reduce waiting times. But remember to get applications only from official stores.
Seek out newly opened hotels to save money
These establishments often offer promotions or lower rates as they try to build their reputation and attract initial guests.
Book business-oriented hotels during weekends
They are usually busy during the week and might offer lower rates and greater availability on weekends when business travel drops.
Consider room upgrades
Inquire about possible room upgrades at check-in. Hotels sometimes offer free upgrades if higher category rooms are available, especially during less busy times.
Monitor rates even after you book
Some hotels will let you rebook your room at a lower rate if prices drop after your initial booking. Use websites like Hopper or Kayak, which can send you notifications if the price of your hotel room decreases.
Entertainment
Exploring a new destination is not just about sightseeing; it’s about immersing yourself in the local culture and events. Look at some tips to help you obtain tickets, find the best deals, and fully enjoy cultural offerings.
Set your VPN to your destination’s location
Use a VPN set to the location you plan to visit. This makes your searches more local, showing you events that are popular among the residents rather than those tailored for tourists.
Look for discounts and package deals
Explore package deals on travel platforms such as Expedia, com, or TripAdvisor that might include extras such as transportation or meals.
Utilize student discounts
Search for student discounts and consider using the ISIC (International Student Identity Card), which is accepted by many travel services for cheaper rates on attractions.
Buy tickets from official sources
Using well-known ticket platforms or the official event websites together with a reliable cybersecurity tool can safeguard your transactions.
Take advantage of early bird or last-minute discounts
Many events offer discounts if you book early or, alternatively, offer reduced prices on last-minute tickets to fill seats.
Use a VPN on public Wi-Fi
When accessing public Wi-Fi, protect your data with a VPN service, which encrypts your internet connection and secures your online activities from security risks.
Connect with locals for advice
Talk to locals either online or in person to get recommendations for events and tips on securing the best deals. Utilize platforms like Couchsurfing or Meetup to make connections before your visit.
Explore social media and local forums for events
Use platforms like Facebook Events or Meetup to find local happenings, many of which are affordable or free. Local forums and community boards are also great for insider tips on lesser-known events.
Discover local events through Instagram
Check posts using geotags of the area and relevant hashtags for real-time insights and updates on local events. It will help you find exciting activities and experiences directly from the perspectives of those who are participating.
Dating
Dating or holiday romance while on vacation can add an exciting dimension to your travels, allowing you to meet new people and potentially form a lasting connection and close friendship. Navigating this aspect safely and enjoyably requires a thoughtful approach.
Choose reputable dating apps
Go for well-known dating apps and always download them from official stores to avoid malicious software. Using a trusted security solution will also enhance your safety by controlling the amount of data an app collects about you.
Use the built-in messenger function of dating platforms
For added security, keep conversations within the dating app rather than switching to other messaging platforms. This helps maintain the safety features provided by the app and protects your personal information.
Meet in public settings
Arrange to meet in cafes, restaurants, or busy tourist attractions. These places are not only safe but also create a comfortable environment to get to know someone.
Keep a contact informed
Always let a trusted friend or family member know the details of your date, including the location, who and when you’ll be seeing.
Guard your personal information
Be mindful about the amount of personal information you share, such as your hotel room number, travel itinerary, or financial details.
Use unique dating app photos
Avoid using photos on dating apps that are already public on your social media profiles. This helps prevent others from easily finding your online profiles and accessing more personal information.
Don’t feel obligated to stay
Therapists also recommend always trusting your instincts. If you have an uneasy feeling about a person, remember you don’t have to continue the date.
Shopping
Shopping during your travels lets you experience local culture firsthand. We’ve compiled some recommendations that can enhance your shopping experience, giving you unique stories to tell and better deals to enjoy.
Explore local markets and artisan shops
Venture into areas where authentic and often less expensive items are available as these markets provide a window into the local lifestyle and crafts.
Use a dedicated travel card
Consider getting a separate bank card for travel purposes and load it with a limited amount of money. This way, in case of theft or fraud, your main funds remain secure.
Learn to negotiate
Bargaining is expected in many places. Check if it’s culturally appropriate for your destination. Research common negotiation practices in advance to better understand local customs.
Understand local laws and customs
Be aware of regulations related to exporting certain cultural or natural items to avoid legal issues, as some may be protected or require special permissions. You can find this information on official government websites or in travel advisories.
Use secure ATMs
Use preferred ATMs located inside bank branches to avoid devices such as skimmers that can steal card data.
Install a security tool for online purchases
Employ a cybersecurity solution that alerts you about phishing attempts and dubious links to ensure safe transactions during your travels.
Secure your belongings
Store valuables in a safe place and only carry essential items with you. Keep money, credit cards, and important items in a secure manner, such as in a money belt or a zippered cross-body bag.
Keep all receipts
Saving receipts can help with customs or tax declarations when returning home and can be useful for returns, exchanges, or international warranty claims.
Bringing kids on vacation
Traveling with children introduces a different rhythm to your journey, mixing challenge with joy. Thus effective planning transforms trips into delightful adventures for the whole family, filled with fun and comfort.
Choose family-oriented accommodations
Select places that offer family-friendly amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, and kids’ clubs. This can significantly improve the comfort and enjoyment of your stay.
Plan lighter travel days
Keep schedules flexible and less packed on travel days to reduce stress. Make time for regular breaks, snacks, and some fun activities to keep everyone relaxed.
Use digital tools for safety
Implement digital parenting solutions to keep track of your children’s whereabouts and monitor the battery life of their devices. This ensures you can stay in touch and adds an extra layer of safety.
Be prepared for health and safety needs
Keep a list of nearby medical facilities on a mobile phone and bring necessary medications and a basic first aid kit. Being prepared for minor health issues or emergencies is crucial.
Seek out child discounts
Many places offer discounts for children, and some attractions allow younger kids free entry. Always ask about these options to save on travel and activity costs.
Pack wisely for children’s needs
Bring along essentials like snacks, water, extra clothes, and entertainment options such as books or games. Downloading a film or TV series they like in advance to a digital device is great for long haul flights or car rides – and avoids Wi-Fi and roaming costs. This helps manage common travel challenges like hunger, thirst, and boredom.

Kuala Lumpur, 26th August 2024 – Santan, the inflight catering and food and beverage subsidiary of Capital A, is delighted to announce the launch of ‘Club Zero’, an innovative campaign promoting lesser consumption of sugar. This initiative aims to promote healthier choices and was officially launched by the Minister of Health, YB Datuk Seri Dr Haji Dzulkefly Bin Ahmad and the Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade & Cost of Living, YB Senator Puan Fuziah Salleh.
‘Club Zero’ represents the culmination of Santan’s ongoing efforts to align with the evolving health-conscious preferences of consumers. Building on the success of Santan’s zero-calorie sugar drinks, such as the acclaimed ZERO Watermelon Coconut Latte and ZERO Pistachio Coconut Latte, this campaign signifies a new chapter in Santan’s commitment to offering delicious, health-conscious alternatives to AirAsia guests. In partnership with renowned local brands Secret Recipe and Tealive, Santan is setting a new standard for reduced-sugar food and beverage options in Malaysia and across the AirAsia network.
YB Datuk Seri Dr Haji Dzulkefly Bin Ahmad said, “I commend Santan for their leadership in this crucial initiative and for collaborating with local brands to make healthier options more accessible to everyone. The launch of Club Zero is a significant step forward in our collective effort to reduce sugar intake and encourage healthier eating habits among Malaysians. I hope more brands will follow suit and offer healthier options to customers.”
Catherine Goh, CEO of Santan, said, “Club Zero reflects our mission to revolutionise food and drink choices. Santan has already set new standards in inflight dining, proving that high quality can be achieved even within the low-cost carrier segment. We have elevated the quality, range, and affordability of inflight offerings, setting a new benchmark for the industry. Serving over 20 million meals annually, we are committed to offering healthier options. Given the significant public health issue of diabetes in Malaysia, we are proud to lead the way by partnering with two local brands to provide reduced-sugar products, making healthier choices both delicious and accessible for all AirAsia guests.”
The ‘Club Zero’ campaign highlights Santan’s dedication to improving public health through innovative product offerings and strategic partnerships. Santan’s popular ZERO Sugar drink series, designed for guilt-free indulgence with zero-calorie sugar, now includes: ZERO Watermelon Coconut Latte, ZERO Pistachio Coconut Latte, ZERO Pistachio Coconut Milk, ZERO Watermelon Coconut Milk, ZERO Watermelon Coconut Water, and ZERO Pistachio Jasmine Milk
Tea. Coffee-based options, such as the lattes, use Santan’s very own coffee capsules, made using Freeze-Dried Technology for a barista-quality coffee in the sky. These drinks are priced at MYR13 on AirAsia Malaysia (AK) flights and MYR14 on AirAsia X (D7) flights.
Additionally, Club Zero’s friends, Tealive are now offering the ZERO Original Milk Tea with Konjac Pearl and Secret Recipe’s ZERO Chocolate Indulgence Cake, both with 50% less sugar. These items are available at MYR13 on AirAsia Malaysia (AK) flights and MYR14 on AirAsia X (D7) flights.
Bryan Loo, founder and CEO of Loob Holding Sdn Bhd, said “It was an honour for Tealive to be one of the local brands Santan chose to partner in providing healthy options to the public. We have always believed in collaborative innovation to create exciting products.

Heineken® celebrates Malaysia’s first-ever Player 0.0 Champion who will get to meet three-time Formula 1™ World Champion, Max Verstappen, at the global finals in Spain
KUALA LUMPUR, 26 AUGUST 2024 – As part of its “When You Drive, Never Drink” (WYDND) platform, Heineken® emphasized that the best driver is the one who doesn’t drink – unless it is Heineken® 0.0. This crucial message was brought to life via a compelling campaign featuring Max Verstappen, the three-time Formula 1(F1™) World Champion and ambassador for the WYDND campaign and for the first-time ever in Malaysia, Player 0.0.
Heineken Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals
Player 0.0 – Heineken®’s latest initiative – is a mobile and sim racing competition which combines the excitement of racing with the brand’s commitment to underscoring the important messaging of “The Best Driver is the one who is not drinking”. Since June, over 1,500 participants tried their hand at the game, resulting in an impressive 50,000 game plays, and the search finally came to an end this month. After racing their way to the top, the top 20 racers from the leaderboard were invited to the Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals to showcase their talent, and the opportunity to represent Malaysia in the finals.
Last night, the racing spirit was at an all-time high at Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil as the Player 0.0 Malaysia Finals were held in conjunction with a live viewing of the much-anticipated Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix™, the first race back after the season’s summer break. It was a vibrant atmosphere as enthusiasts gathered for an unforgettable experience; but the event was more than just a race. It was a celebration of the sport as fans enjoyed a live screening of the fan-favourite Dutch GP – Max Verstappen’s very own home race – and the home of Heineken®. The venue was transformed into a Grand Prix paddock experience with F1™-themed engagements.
Player 0.0 Malaysia – Chong Kai Chang
As guests enjoyed Heineken® 0.0, they got to witness firsthand the impressive gameplay between the finalists who went wheel-to-wheel on the sim, as Chong Kai Chang emerged as Malaysia’s very own ‘Player 0.0’. Chong Kai Chang will be representing Malaysia at the global finals held in conjunction with Gamergy, an Esports and gaming festival in Madrid, Spain. The highlight of the global finals is the opportunity to meet three-time F1™ world champion, Max Verstappen. Making it more than just the race, live music performances from favourite local DJs – Blink, Jovynn, Mister Rodrigo, Pitch Shift and Shwan Zod – featured F1™ themed sounds within their setlist that transformed the venue, giving fans a refreshing watch party experience.
Heineken® has always been about bringing people together by providing refreshing experiences – and what better way to do that than with our Player 0.0 initiative? As a beer brand that promotes responsible consumption, we want to drive the WYDND messaging through unique and innovative ways with mobile and sim racing. Our goal is to inspire consumers to enjoy responsibly and emphasise that the best driver is the one who is not drinking unless it’s a Heineken® 0.0’,” said Willemijn Sneep, Marketing Director of Heineken Malaysia Berhad.
