Taiwan Collaborates with Malaysia to Promote Wellness through ‘Go Healthy with Taiwan 2025’

Taiwan’s strengths in fitness tech, cycling, and smart healthcare drive the ‘Go Healthy with Taiwan 2025’ initiative.

 Taiwan is driving regional wellness innovation with the ‘2025 Go Healthy with Taiwan’ campaign in Malaysia. Led by the Taiwan International Trade Administration (TITA) and executed by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), the initiative has attracted strong participants from Malaysian fitness groups, universities, and medical suppliers. Organizers urge Malaysian stakeholders to submit proposals before 14 August to showcase their ideas for a healthier future.

The ‘Go Healthy with Taiwan’ campaign at District 21, IOI City Mall on 20 July encouraged Malaysians to propose innovative solutions for a healthier future.

The campaign is structured as an open call for proposals across three strategic sectors: Fitness & Sports Technology, Cycling, and Smart Healthcare. Participants will vie for three US$30,000 cash prizes, awarded to the most impactful and innovative proposals. In addition, the top six teams will be invited to Taiwan for an exclusive “Go Healthy Tour”—a curated, immersive experience offering direct access to Taiwan’s dynamic health technology ecosystem. This tour will feature hands-on demonstrations, site visits, and networking opportunities with leading Taiwanese companies, enabling participants to explore collaboration, product integration, and market expansion opportunities firsthand. 

Sectoral Focus Areas:

1. Fitness & Sports Technology: From AI-enabled training systems to connected workout equipment, Taiwan’s smart fitness innovations are designed to boost personal and population-wide wellness outcomes.
2. Cycling: As a global manufacturing hub for high-performance bicycles and a leader in urban cycling infrastructure, Taiwan champions cycling as a sustainable, health-positive mode of transport.
3. Smart Healthcare: Taiwan’s Medtech sector offers advanced diagnostic platforms, telemedicine capabilities, and wearable technologies that are reshaping healthcare delivery and preventive care models.

The ‘Go Healthy with Taiwan’ campaign featured Johnson Fitness equipment, urging innovative proposals to advance healthier lifestyles.

Evaluation Criteria:
Submissions will be assessed based on health and well-being benefits, integration of Taiwanese products or solutions, innovation, and feasibility.

Key Dates:

• Proposal Deadline: 14 August 2025
• Campaign Website: https://gohealthy.taiwanexcellence.org/

Participation is made simple via a streamlined online platform, designed for ease of submission. Detailed guidelines and case examples—such as Acer’s wearable health monitors already adopted by leading hospitals worldwide—are available on the official campaign website to support proposal development.

Join Taiwan in creating a healthier, more resilient future—through innovation, collaboration, and shared purpose.

CapitaLand Wins Double Honours at Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025 for Outstanding Community Care

CapitaLand received “Company of the Year” and “Long-Standing Excellence” awards in the shopping mall category for its #GivingBersama4.0 initiative 

CapitaLand has been named Company of the Year for Outstanding Community Care under the Shopping Mall category and honoured with the Long-Standing Excellence Award at the Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards 2025.  These accolades recognise the company’s sustained efforts in uplifting communities through its impactful #GivingBersama 4.0 initiative.

This marks the third consecutive year CapitaLand has received the prestigious Company of the Year accolade, underscoring its long-term commitment to enriching lives across Malaysia.  In 2024, the company was also recognised for its support of underprivileged children.

The annual Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Awards celebrate exemplary organisations that have demonstrated unwavering commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Malaysia.

As part of CapitaLand’s global #GivingAsOne campaign, the #GivingBersama 4.0 initiative was launched to support beneficiaries from orphanage homes, schools, and low-income families across Penang, Klang Valley, Pahang, and Johor.  With support from CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group, the initiative contributed RM200,000 worth of daily necessities and educational essentials to over 2,600 beneficiaries.

From 23 October to 20 December 2024, more than 180 CapitaLand staff volunteers dedicated over 1,400 volunteer hours who give their time and effort to serve the community.  They reached nearly 800 underserved children from 21 homes, and over 1,800 individuals from 600 low-income families. Beneficiaries were identified in partnership with Unit Mutiara Food Bank in Penang and Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat Malaysia offices in Kuala Lumpur, Kuantan, and Johor.

A highlight of this year’s initiative was the introduction of a shopping mall bazaar experience – a first by CapitaLand.  Organised in community halls across Malaysia, these vibrant market-style events allowed beneficiaries to select their own essential supplies, providing a more engaging and personalised experience. 

Selina Ng, Managing Director, Retail, CapitaLand Investment (Malaysia) said: “We are truly honoured to receive this esteemed accolade for the third year in a row, especially as CapitaLand celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.  The awards affirm our ongoing efforts to create a positive and lasting impact in the communities where we operate.”

“At CapitaLand, we believe that building resilient communities goes beyond financial contributions.  Through our #GivingBersama initiative, we are heartened by the strong and sustained support from our employees, tenants, business partners, and the wider community. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of underserved groups across Malaysia.  Since 2011, with the support of CHF, we have reached over 16,100 beneficiaries and contributed more than RM2.6 million in community initiatives,” added Ms Ng.

Held annually in September and October, CapitaLand’s #GivingAsOne campaign rallies staff, tenants, business partners, and customers across markets to uplift vulnerable communities. In 2024, over 8,900 volunteers across 17 countries contributed more than 46,000 volunteer hours, benefiting over 13,000 individuals globally.

CapitaLand’s presence in Malaysia spans multiple asset classes including residential, retail, lodging, logistics, and business parks. Its retail network includes seven malls: Melawati Mall in Taman Melawati and six malls under CapitaLand Malaysia Trust—3 Damansara in Petaling Jaya, East Coast Mall in Kuantan, Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall in Penang, The Mines in Seri Kembangan, and Sungei Wang Plaza in Kuala Lumpur. CapitaLand also operates Nusajaya Tech Park, a 210-hectare industrial park in Iskandar Puteri, Johor.

 FedEx Empowers APAC Businesses to

Navigate Global Trade Shifts with Confidence

Businesses are encouraged to adopt best practices, diversify supply chain strategies, and leverage FedEx solutions for efficient customs clearance

Federal Express Corporation, one of the world's largest express transportation companies, is helping businesses across Asia Pacific navigate an evolving trade landscape marked by tariff-induced uncertainties and heightened customs complexity. FedEx has been conducting webinars to help its customers stay agile in managing regulatory changes and responding to shifting trade environments. The response to its latest webinar series demonstrates the need for guidance within the business community. Over 6,500 participants registered from across the region.

The company’s role as experienced trade facilitators gives it a front-row seat to gauge sentiment in the business community.

One third (29%) of respondents attending FedEx webinars are not planning on changing their supply chain strategy.

More than half (52%) are considering supply chain diversification over the next 12 months to better adapt to global trade uncertainty.

A fifth (19%) are actively pursuing such plans.

Businesses have identified ongoing tariff uncertainty (41%) and increasing costs (29%) as both the drivers’ and key barriers to supply chain diversification.

These insights underscore the growing importance of leveraging best practices and the expertise of trade experts to tackle customs challenges and enhance supply chain resilience.

“Resilience has become a strategic imperative in a trade environment of constant transformation through shifting regulations, changing trade flows, and digital disruption,” said Salil Chari, senior vice president of Marketing & Customer Experience for Asia Pacific at FedEx. “While many are adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach before making major strategic changes, the most future-ready businesses will be those that invest in flexibility, embrace innovation, and rely on trusted partners to stay ahead of change.”
