Watsons’s #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri to lift humanity to new heights

Watsons’s #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri to lift humanity to new heights

Watsons’s #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri to lift humanity to new heights

What is the true meaning of sincerity?

Watch the #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri event brought to you by Watsons Malaysia.

Share all the good deeds that you’ve done and submit it with hashtags #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri and #WatsonsMalaysia Watsons Malaysia will donate RM1 to Darul Insyirah for each entry. Do Good and Feel Great this Ramadan.

There are many unsung heroes in our lives. Doing a good deed nourishes your soul. Heart-warming incidents in the name of humanity make the world a better place.

Saving lives matters more than anything else. Offering genuine help to others doesn’t go by race and religion. Sapno Tukijo, a “bilal” of the Taman Free School surau in Penang provided shelter for 70 flood victims at the worship place, saving them from the flood onslaught.

A Malaysian national basketball player, Mohd Shadzwan Kamalrulzaman, saved the life of an unconscious man at Hong Kong International Airport by performing a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rescue.

Sometimes it’s just a small random act of kindness that is genuinely inspiring and motivating. Sean, a Malaysian teenager, offered to carry a 15kg luggage and accompany a Filipino man with leg injuries throughout the flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur.

For actress Ezzaty Abdullah, something straight from the heart is spiritually meaningful and powerful. Heartfelt smiles are a form of positive energy that can cheer someone up, for instance.

In conjunction with the holy month of Ramadan, Watsons welcomes you to extend your salute to the unsung heroes through the #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri campaign, which is running until 2 July 2018.

In line with the spirit of giving back to the community, for each photo or video with #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri and #WatsonsMalaysia shared on Facebook and Instagram pages, Watsons will be donating 200 Watsons points (RM1) to Pusat Jagaan dan Pendidikan Warga Darul Insyirah under the auspices of Pusat Kecemerlangan Pendidikan Ummah (PACU), an NGO championing the welfare of senior citizens. A minimum of 4,000,000 Watsons points (RM20,000) is the target.

As actress Shima Anuar rightly says it, you can always make a difference by caring, giving and sharing. Forge closer community ties by reaching out to people in need. Join the noble mission of #MisiIkhlasAidilfitri by #WatsonsMalaysia to lead by example.

Care for your health. Because your life counts on it.

Most Malaysians are unaware of fatal diseases caused by poor dietary habits and lack of physical activity in their daily lives.

Workout and exercise is the last thing comes to mind for most Malaysians when it comes to adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Many start a fitness regime only after they are diagnosed with some health problems which are usually too late. Individuals then attempt going for a walk in their neighbourhood, or jog at a nearby park, or maybe even sign up for a gym membership – desperate to recover from their fatal illness. Sadly, many are no longer able to perform even simple exercise routines due to their deteriorated health condition.

Today, social pressure and narcissistic influences in young people as early in their teens who want to look physically appealing especially on social media are also easily swayed by unrealistic and psuedo-health fads spread throughout the internet. These youngsters are willing to do anything for such false shortcuts while being completely clueless of the damaging effects and deadly consequences that comes along with it.
