guardian Malaysia Retains Health & Beauty Retailer of the Year Title

guardian Malaysia, earlier this month, won the Health & Beauty Retailer of the Year – Malaysia at the Retail Asia Awards 2026 in Singapore. This back-to-back victory, the second one for this Malaysia-born retailer after its first win at last year’s Retail Asia Awards, has now cemented guardian’s position as Malaysia’s No. 1 Health & Beauty Retailer*.

 

Speaking right after the awards ceremony at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore, Priscilla Wu, Managing Director of guardian Malaysia and Brunei said,

 

“Having started out as a 200-sqft health and beauty retailer right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 59 years ago, we are glad to have run such a good race to become the top health and beauty retailer two years in a row. We strive to remain at our best to serve the wellness needs of Malaysians nationwide, annually.”

Other Awards besides the Top Retailer win

Besides picking up the most prestigious award in health and beauty retailing for the night, guardian Malaysia also won three other significant awards from the Retail Asia Awards of 2026: Digital Initiative of the Year – Malaysia, Loyalty Programme of the Year – Malaysia and Brand Transformation of the Year – Malaysia.

The Digital Initiative of the Year – Malaysia award was given out to guardian Malaysia in recognition of its informative and educational hubs online to guide its shoppers through the mass of product choices, efficacy & benefit claims, ingredient jargon and conflicting advice when it comes to choosing which health and beauty products is best for them.

“We launched the Health Hub, Hairducation Hub and Derma Lab as part of our shopper-first digital transformation. There are content customisation, online-to-offline interactions as well as expert video advice so our shoppers stay well informed,” added Priscilla.

MYguardian Rewards, which has recently registered over 6 million members, won the Loyalty Programme of the Year – Malaysia award thanks to its AI-powered customer-intelligence engine and lifestyle partners’ platform. The Brand Transformation of the Year – Malaysia award was presented to guardian in recognition of the assured quality and user-approved mannings guardian’s own brand product families.   

InfluentialBrands’ Top Health & Beauty Retailer Award – as voted by Malaysians

Last month (May 2026), guardian Malaysia picked up the Top Health & Beauty Retailer in Malaysia for 2025 and 2026 that was given out by the Singapore-based InfluentialBrands.

“We are honoured to have been chosen by shoppers all over the country as the Top Health & Beauty Retailer in Malaysia. Thank you for voting us Malaysia’s No. 1!” said Priscilla.

This recognition serves as a good motivation for guardian Malaysia to continue to serve its shoppers even better – from curating an unrivalled variety of the best and most preferred of pharmaceutical, health and beauty products to dishing out expert advice to its shoppers. 

“With the wins of the No. 1 Health and Beauty Retailer awards from both Retail Asia Awards and InfluentialBrands followed by the awards on digital transformation, loyalty programme’s superiority and brand transformation, we are determined to continue being the Trusted Advisor for Wellness for all 34 million Malaysians now and in the years to come!” concluded Priscilla.

HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series Redefines Modern Wearable Technology

Huawei is sparking a new era of connected living with the introduction of three new wearables in Malaysia under its “Now Is Your Spark” launch. Leading the line-up is the all-new HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series, a stylish evolution of Huawei’s signature square smartwatch that combines refined craftsmanship, vibrant new colourways, and intelligent wellness features. 

 

Expanding Huawei’s growing ecosystem of fashion-forward smart devices are the HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN Spring Edition and the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 in Berry Purple, each thoughtfully designed to bring together style, innovation, and seamless everyday functionality for modern Malaysians.

 

The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series delivers a significantly upgraded visual and design experience. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 features a vibrant 1.82-inch display, while the Pro edition expands to a larger 1.92-inch screen with ultra-slim bezels and a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits for enhanced outdoor visibility. Crafted with premium materials, the Pro edition combines aerospace-grade titanium alloy bezels with durable 2.5D sapphire glass, while the White edition further elevates the design with Aerospace-Grade Nanoceramic Metal technology.

Developed through an advanced anodizing process, this technology generates micro-arc discharges on aluminum alloy in an electrolytic environment, forming a high-hardness ceramic-like coating. Complementing the sleek profile are vibrant colourways and lightweight straps designed for all-day comfort, including a Silver edition strap on the WATCH FIT 5 made from nearly 100% recycled nylon with antibacterial and water-repellent properties.

 

Beyond aesthetics, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Pro expands Huawei’s approach to smarter personal wellness through advanced preventive health management features. Leading the innovation is Malaysia’s First Diabetes Risk Study on a wearable smartwatch, designed to support earlier awareness of potential health risks through non-invasive PPG-based vascular signal analysis that evaluates potential diabetes risk patterns over time.

The Pro edition further enhances cardiovascular health management with CE and MDA-certified ECG and Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis, and arterial stiffness detection, empowering users with deeper insights into their overall well-being and vascular health trends. The series also supports TruSleep 5.0 sleep monitoring, HRV analysis, emotional well-being tracking, and women’s health management features, reflecting Huawei’s growing focus on more holistic health experiences.

 

For users seeking more advanced fitness experiences, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series introduces dedicated racket sports experiences through Goodshot for badminton, PickleX for pickleball, and Tennix for tennis, delivering professional-level insights and performance tracking for everyday players and sports enthusiasts alike. Meanwhile, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Pro further expands its advanced outdoor sports capabilities with features tailored for trail running, golf, freediving up to 40m, and other performance-focused activities. From route navigation and real-time cycling metrics to golf course maps supporting over 17,000 global courses, the smartwatch adapts seamlessly from urban routines to outdoor adventures while remaining lightweight enough for all-day wear.

Further reinforcing Huawei’s growing commitment towards supporting Malaysia’s sports ecosystem, Huawei Malaysia also partnered with Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) to celebrate and reward the nation’s elite athletes through major sporting recognition platforms, including the prestigious Anugerah Sukan Negara (ASN). Organised annually by the National Sports Council of Malaysia under the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the award ceremony honours outstanding achievements across the Malaysian sports industry, with Huawei contributing flagship products to selected winners in recognition of their dedication and accomplishments.

 

Supporting healthier movement habits throughout the day, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series also introduces Huawei’s new mini-workout experience, with over 30 movements targeting 10 body parts designed to help users incorporate short, guided exercises into their everyday routines. Accompanied by Huawei’s signature panda companion, the interactive feature delivers playful prompts and motivational feedback throughout the day, transforming movement into a more engaging and approachable part of daily life.

Designed for seamless everyday convenience, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 5 Series supports compatibility across both iOS and Android devices, allowing users to stay connected regardless of smartphone ecosystem. The smartwatch also supports up to 10 days of battery life, 64GB storage capacity, Touch ‘n Go QR payment support, and intelligent lifestyle features designed to simplify everyday routines.

guardian | World Oral Health Day Smile Brighter Live Better

According to the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) in its National Oral Health Survey of Adults (NOHSA 2020), dental caries exist in 85.1% of surveyed adults (Click here). Dental caries or tooth decay prevalence rate indicates the presence of decayed, missing or filled teeth among over 8 out of 10 adult Malaysians. 

 

While the prevalence rate has been on the decline, there is still much that industry stakeholders could do to help Malaysians achieve the National Oral Health Strategic Plan’s caries’ free targets by the end of this decade. 

 

Therefore, in conjunction with the annual celebration of the World Oral Health Day on the 20^th of March worldwide, guardian Malaysia is hosting its World Oral Health Day atrium at the 1Utama Centre Court from the 31^st of March to the 5th of April, and at Midvalley Southkey, Johor Bahru.  

The event is supported by the MDA and FDI World Dental Federation and is in-line with the aspirations of the MOH. 

 

Being the No. 1 Health & Beauty Retailer* in this country, guardian Malaysia seeks to play its part in the fight against dental caries by advocating holistic wellness and elevating oral care from being merely a hygiene routine to becoming an essential part of healthcare. 

 

The mouth is the mirror to YOUR body’s overall wellbeing

 

“Many are unaware about the links between oral care to systemic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Individuals who’d take oral care for granted and neglect it might have to pay a fairly high price in the future,” shared Anna Ng, Marketing Director of guardian Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. 

 

The World Oral Health Day is designed to spark the awareness amongst Malaysians of this important but often neglected part of wellbeing care. It seeks to empower individuals with tips and knowledge to better oral health from strong teeth to fresh breath and more – all these being delivered by dental care experts and guardian pharmacists at this atrium event! 

Various interactive zones at this week-long event such as the ‘Build your strong smile’, ‘Protect your mouth’ and ‘Shine with confidence’ zones have been designed to be engaging, exploratory and impactful to allow for members of the public to learn up good oral hygiene and ‘stop’ the diseases on its track via daily care and preventive habits. 

 

guardian Malaysia expands its trust ‘circle’ to include Oral Care

 

Speaking at the launch of the atrium event, Priscilla Wu, Managing Director of guardian Malaysia said, 

 

“guardian Malaysia’s role as the trusted advisor for wellness to all Malaysians now includes empowering them to adopt preventive care on their oral health as the primary defence against dental issues. This week-long event, in celebration of World Oral Health Day, is supported by the MDA and Haleon and in-line with the objectives of the MOH is our first-step towards this direction.”

 

The President of the Malaysian Dental Association (MDA), Dr Chong Zhen Feng said that:

 

“As the MDA is focused on working constructively with industry stakeholders to better serve the interest of the public, we are delighted to be part of this public outreach platform by guardian Malaysia that celebrates World Oral Health Day with various talks, free dental check-ups and the presence of oral care experts during this week-long event for shoppers to improve their daily hygiene and routines.”

 

Besides the MDA, representatives from the Oral Health Programme (OHP), Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM ) as well as the deans of the dentistry faculties of International Medical University (IMU) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) were also present at the event as they lend their dental expertise and support to make this week-long atrium a success. 

Dental check-ups and consultations are provided via enclosed, private booths at the atrium from 12 noon to 6 pm on the 31^st of March as well as on the 3^rd to the 5^th of April. There will be stage activities on topics of interest by BioMed, Colgate, Darlie, Henry Blooms and Sensodyne at selected hours in the afternoons in the upcoming weekend. 

 

“We are proud to be a stakeholder partner of the MDA in serving the oral care interest of the public and are thankful to them and Haleon for their support of free dental check-ups and consultations for the public at this atrium,” added Priscilla. 

 

Happiness all around, especially for MYguardian Rewards’ members

 

“In-line with the atrium’s aptly named theme of ‘A happy mouth is a happy life’, the preventive measures and hacks learnt should be inculcated as part of new routines and habits in the lives of our shoppers across all ages from the kids and teens to the young adults, family men and women as well as the senior citizens. But, the happiness does not stop there,” Anna added.  

 

There are exclusive MYguardian Rewards’ members-only promotions during the atrium:

• FREE RM 30 guardian gift voucher for any minimum purchase of RM 130
• FREE mini trendy luggage with a minimum purchase of RM 200
