Mouse Mommy Treats: awareness

AIMSMET GLOBAL under the AIMSMET GROUP collaborates with Institute of Commercial Management (ICM), United Kingdom launched the “Earn while you Learn” – Industry Sponsorship Program (ISP) towards Skills Apprenticeship Scheme for a Malaysia Skilled Future.

The Program was endorsed by YB Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Bin Ismail, Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). The Chairman of AIMSMET GROUP, Professor Dato’ Dr Jayles Yeoh, the CEO of Institute Commercial Management, Mr. Adair Ford and the CEO of AIMSMET Lifestyle Service, Ms Alice Hoang paid a courtesy visit to the Minister’s office and the endorsement was sealed by the signing of plaque by the Minister and the CEO of ICM, UK.

The ultimate goal is to draw young Malaysians, regardless of their starting points, into jobs and sectors that are growing, and equip them with the right skills and experience under the right ICM program for careers in these areas.

In recent months, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad addressed that the government will press priority on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) under the Shared Prosperity Vision in efforts to increase the people’s employment through skilled competency. Dr Mahathir mentioned that TVET played an important role in improving the skills of workers and that training must be made a precedency.

The Shared Prosperity Vision will encompass the 12th and 13th Malaysia Plans, spanning 10 years from 2021 to 2031. Thus, the launching of the ISP for Skills Apprenticeship Scheme with AIMSMET LIFESTYLE SERVICE as the pioneer is a timely program that is poised to champion the government’s vision in reducing the unemployment rate in Malaysia and enhancing the skilled competency among the youths for a digital economy.

The Critical Skills Monitoring Committee (CSC) identified that two of the critical jobs-lacking in its work force are the service and sales workers.

Among the reasons are lack of fluency in English, communications skill, customer service skill and the ability to multi-task. Hence the retail sector, mainly the Food & Beverage areas, requires immediate solutions to engage and train local Malaysian, especially school leavers, to fill these gaps.

Since the initial introduction of the Industry Sponsorship Program in September 2017 and the recruiting partnership with ACT Hubs Sdn Bhd in 2018, AIMSMET have over 30 industries ranging from Food & Beverage to Digital Economy to Client Services such as Starbucks Coffee Company, McDonald’s (Gerbang Alaf Restaurants), Marrybrown, Only World Group (OWG), Watsons and many more sponsoring more than 80 school leavers and graduates in the ICM programs.

Through this movement, the skills, passion and contributions of every individual will drive each organization’s next phase of human capital development towards an advanced mastery of skills and lifelong learning.

During the meeting, YB Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Bin Ismail, Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP), said, “In order for Malaysia to become a developed nation, the Malaysian human capital needs to be further developed with programs such as AIMSMET’s Industry Sponsorship Program.

As the government, we are committed to reduce the disparities of income for those living in the rural areas. We have applied the spirit of shared prosperity in the 2020 Budget and have prioritized sectors such as TVET and skills training. While Malaysia has made great strides in human capital development since independence, we cannot afford to sit on our laurels as we still have much to do before achieving our goal of being a knowledge economy that is competitive on a global scale.”

In conjunction with the endorsement of the “Earn while you Learn” – Industry Sponsorship Program, a panel discussion was held on the topic, “A Paradigm Shift in Education & Training – Skilled Apprenticeship Model”. 0ver 200 university students, educationists and industry players were present to gain knowledge and industry insights. Among the panelists were Dato’ ’Sri Michael Kang, President of SME Malaysia, Datuk Dr Chef Wan, Celebrity Chef, Datin Winnie Loo, Founder of ‘A Cut Above’, Dr Janson Ang, Founder of The Giving Bank Organization and Mr. Adair Ford, CEO of Institute of Commercial Management, UK while Prof. Dato ’Dr Jayles Yeoh, Chairman of AIMSMET Group was the moderator.

According to Prof. Dato ’Dr Jayles Yeoh, Chairman of AIMSMET Group, “The aim of this Industry Sponsorship Program is to bridge the gap and speed up the pace in producing knowledge workers through the private sector.

AIMSMET is ambitiously looking to revolutionize the academic thinking by introducing real life education to ensure no misfits to the relevant industries. With continuous support from the government and private sector, the ambition to make Malaysia as the global leader in providing High Quality Knowledge Worker for various industries is realized.

Ultimately we hope to see positive spin off for the economy as we are able to provide skilled knowledge workers for Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) into the country.”

Also present at the event was Miss Tiffany Lim, Founder of ACT Hubs, who works closely with AIMSMET to connect with Industry Partners and to recruit school leavers for the program.

Both AIMSMET & ACT presented a cheque of RM20,000 to support Yayasan Food Bank Malaysia at the event. Present to receive the cheque was Mr. Abdul Wahab Long, CEO of Food Bank Malaysia.

Mouse mommy and family were celebrating The World Animal Day at Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia!

The World Animal Day is an international day celebrated every 4th of October with a mission to raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. This annual celebration which dates back to 1925 unites the international animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals.

To coincide with the special day, Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park – an interactive and educational zoo featuring more than 140 species-specific exhibits of exotic animals and a diverse range of birds, fish, reptiles and mammals from around the world – held a special campaign to urge you to do your part to create a more sustainable world.

Many species of wildlife can be found here. Family and kids will get to know more about animals by seeing real life animal here and information board sharing more about the animals.

In recent years, the Wildlife Park at Sunway Lagoon has stepped up efforts towards being more sustainable.

Among these, Sunway Lagoon announced its support towards two of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set by the United Nations.

The SDG programme contains a total of 17 goals which the United Nations aims to achieve by the year 2030. It is a universal call to action, in a bid to end poverty, protect the planet and to ensure that all people can enjoy the diverse richness which Mother Nature exudes.

Out of the 17 goals, Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park has, without equivocation, committed towards supporting two of these goals. These include Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal #12), aimed at ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns and Life on Land (Goal #15), which aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

“For World Animal Day this year, we wanted to create an experience where people of all ages can enjoy the Wildlife Park, while learning more about how they can play a role in protecting our environment. All this ties in with our commitment to be more responsible and sustainable, yet presenting a unique and exciting opportunity for the public to enjoy, especially the younger ones, because they are the future of our planet, and will take on the baton towards environmental conservation,” said Sean Choo, General Manager of Sunway Lagoon.

Be an Earth warrior and make a difference for a more sustainable world. Mouse mommy and kids MR MH are in the Sun Bear team and learn about the food, habitat and enrichment activities that related to Sun Bear routine life!

Do you know Sun Bear also called Honey Bear? Because Sun Bear is a honey-lover! Ehhhmmm…. Mouse mommy and kids MR MH love honey drink too! High-five with Honey Bear!

Enrichment program for animal is basically create scenario that Sun Bear need to find ways to eat the given food. Some activities for the animals to explore by themselves. Animal enrichment is very important to zoo animals.

Animal enrichments is meant to improve the animal’s environments and care based on their natural behaviours and instincts.

Environmental enrichments can help lower an animal’s aggression and abnormal behaviour.

The World Animal Day celebrations at Sunway Lagoon’s Wildlife Park also took on an exciting yet heartwarming turn this year, when the park announced its latest project of adopting a few river terrapins from Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia as a support towards the conservation works for these freshwater turtle in the country.

“The aim of the society is to bring about the recovery of depleted wild populations of turtles, with particular reference to freshwater turtles. With the same goal in mind, we are extremely honoured to have the opportunity to work with Sunway Lagoon on this project,” said Dr Chen Pelf Nyok, co-founder of Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia.

Paradoxically, Sunway Lagoon will also be constructing a pygmy goat enclosure at Pet Village that is made out of Ecobricks. The theme park targets to produce approximately 1000 Ecobricks, made using mineral water bottles collected from the recycle bins in the park. Each Ecobrick contains about 200g of non-recyclable plastic waste. With that amount of Ecobricks, the project aims to save approximately 200kg of non-recyclable plastics trash from the landfill. The theme park aims to construct and launch the enclosure by World Earth Day next year.

Guests were specially invited to Sunway Lagoon Wildlife Park’s World Animal Day event to enjoy a host of activities and initiatives specially curated to mark this meaningful celebration.

These included an Ecobrick making workshop, a take home garden workshop, meet & greet with Bani the Wildlife Park ambassador, a display by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN), and Save the Earth Pledge wall, where visitors can mark their pledge towards reducing single-use plastics.

After that, MR and MH are happily joining the water splashing fun at Nickelodeon water park at Sunway Lagoon to have fun!

A superb fun and insightful animal day that we had! Mouse mommy and family love this family edutainment theme park - Sunway Lagoon! Looking forward to more family-friendly activities!
