Promotion in Business via Shopee
KUALA LUMPUR: Many businesses, small and large, have suffered greatly since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. Malaysian Franchise Association (MFA) announced its collaboration with one of Malaysia's leading online shopping platforms, Shopee.
Through this collaboration, businesses in Malaysia can open an official account via Shopee, where they can promote and sell their products on the platform.
Radzali in his speech said shoppers will be alerted to special promotions via the app when participating brands promote their products online. This, he said, will help shoppers enjoy greater savings when they purchase their products online. He added that local business owners can benefit from Shopee's vast business network which extended to other Asean regions including Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Tan said that franchises can easily join the online shopping platform as Shopee readily provides digital solutions including training, setting up of official stores and activating ShopeePay e-wallet as the payment mode for its retailers.
"We hope that more local franchises, too, will get to share the same kind of success by coming on board."
Sabah’s Endangered Species – Ficus Leaves
KOTA KINABALU: Ficus trees are now being planted at the Sabah Ficus Germplasm Centre to provide sustenance for other species.
The fresh leaves of wild Ficus trees are Bornean rhinos' favourite food, but with the death of the last of the species recently, Bora found itself left with a veritable garden which could be used to feed other animals.
Under Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil standards, if endangered species or high biodiversity values are present in a plantation, appropriate measures for management planning and operations are required.
Among the Ficus species planted in the Germplasm centre is Ficus macrocarpa, which can grow to a large size in swampy areas; racemosa, locally known as tangkol, a riverside native providing edible fruits to humans; crassiramea, a large strangling fig whose fruits are favoured by hornbills; minahassae, found only in eastern Sabah, Sulawesi and the Philippines; and several species that offer potential as livestock feed.
The Ficus Germplasm Centre not only aims to be a store of the diversity of living fig species of Sabah but also a source of planting materials for restoration work in Forest Reserves and private landowners," he added.
