Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), Malaysia’s leading cinema exhibitor, is inviting families to unplug, reconnect and create lasting memories with the return of the GSC x AIA Vitality Playfest, part of the GSC Ultimate Family Adventure (GUFA). Taking place from 24-26 July 2026 at IOI City Mall, Putrajaya, the three-day family festival embraces the theme “Play at Every Turn”, presenting an exciting lineup of immersive experiences designed to spark imagination, encourage active play and strengthen meaningful family connections beyond the screen.



As a flagship initiative under GSC Play, GSC Ultimate Family Adventure (GUFA) transforms GSC’s commitment to family entertainment into a vibrant real-world experience. It creates a safe and inclusive space where parents and children can spend quality time together through interactive activities, hands-on workshops, engaging performances and shared adventures. More than just a festival, GUFA celebrates the joy of making memories through play, discovery and togetherness. 



“Entertainment has always been at the heart of what we do, but today, families are looking for more than just a place to watch a movie - they are seeking meaningful experiences they can enjoy together. Through GSC Ultimate Family Adventure, anchored by GSC x AIA Vitality Playfest, we are creating opportunities for families to connect beyond the screen through shared moments of play, discovery and imagination. As families navigate increasingly digital lifestyles, we are committed to providing a trusted family destination where parents and children can unplug, engage with one another and create joyful memories together.

This year’s GSC x AIA Vitality Playfest is brought to life through the creative concept of “Four Worlds, Endless Play”.

guardian | Trusted quality. Everyday value. Discover the new mannings guardian range


Every day, millions of Malaysians reach for everyday essentials that are part of their daily routines – from the toothbrush that starts the morning and the body wash that refreshes after a long day, to the hand wash in the kitchen, beauty tools on the vanity and travel essentials packed for every journey.



Recognising the important role they play in everyday life, guardian, Malaysia’s No. 1 Health & Beauty Retailer*, today launched the new mannings guardian range – a comprehensive collection of quality everyday essentials designed to help Malaysians care for themselves and their families with confidence. 



The launch brings together the strengths of guardian, which has served Malaysian communities for nearly 60 years and mannings, Hong Kong’s leading health and beauty retailer with decades of expertise in developing trusted own-brand products. 

 


Together, the two brands have created a range that combines quality, innovation and value across categories including personal care, bath care, oral care, beauty accessories and household essentials. 



‘Gold standard’ own brand that offers real, great quality

 

The mannings guardian own brand range has been crafted with care. Fann Yuen, DFI’s Group Own Brand Director, who leads the co-creation process said, 



 

“We have a comprehensive 20-step quality assurance process, covering supplier selection, manufacturing, product safety, quality control and performance evaluation before reaching store shelves. In addition, this range is: 

  • Dermatologically-tested
  • Developed following clean beauty principles
  • Not tested on animals
  • Tested and approved by real consumers



These rigorous standards reflect guardian’s commitment to offering products that customers can use with confidence every day.”

 

The mannings guardian range won Brand Transformation of the Year – Malaysia at the Retail Asia Awards 2026 highlighting a strong recognition from retail industry experts of the brand’s blend of quality, innovation and everyday value to shoppers. Additionally, its Cherry Blossom Wet Wipes, UV Sunscreen Lotion and Soft Face Towel had also been recognised in the Monde Selection 2026 in Paris. 



“At guardian, trust is at the heart of everything we do. The products we bring into our customers’ homes are products we stand behind ourselves. By combining guardian’s understanding of Malaysian consumers with mannings’ product development expertise, we’ve created a range that delivers the quality, innovation and value our customers expect from us,” said Anna Ng, Marketing Director of guardian Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei 

 

Supporting everyday wellness


 

The mannings guardian range has been thoughtfully developed to support Malaysians through the moments that matter – from morning routines and family care to travel and everyday wellbeing. 


 

More than simply expanding guardian’s product offering, the launch reflects the company’s continued commitment to making quality health, wellness and personal care solutions more accessible to everyone. 


 

It also supports guardian’s vision of becoming Malaysia’s Trusted Advisor for Wellness, empowering customers with trusted products, expert advice and solutions that help them make informed choices for healthier living. 


 

Experience the House of mannings guardian 

 

To celebrate the launch, guardian has transformed Sunway Pyramid into the House of mannings guardian – an immersive experience inspired by the everyday spaces where these products become part of people’s lives. 

 


Visitors can explore the range across themed lifestyle zones, discover how the products fit naturally into everyday routines and experience first-hand the quality behind the mannings guardian range. 


“We believe the products we use every day deserve the same attention to quality as any premium product. Our ambition is for the mannings guardian range to become a trusted part of Malaysian homes, supporting families through everyday moments with products they can rely on,” Anna added. 


 

The mannings guardian range is now available at all guardian stores nationwide and online. The full selection of mannings guardian own brand range can be found here: https://guardian.com.my/guardian-brand.html?page=1
