KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 (Bernama) -- As food contamination and hygiene issues are increasing, it is crucial to raise food safety and hygiene standards by fostering partnerships between regulatory bodies, and industry leaders. Rentokil Initial Malaysia, a global leader in pest control and hygiene, advocates for a closer working relationship with our customers and recently invited them to attend the Pest and Total Hygiene (PATH) workshop with the theme “Strengthening Our Partnership With You”.
In 2019 alone, viral news on poor food safety and pest control were shared on social media, highlighting unhygienic practices are rampant in Malaysia. As stated by the 2019 Global Food Safety Conference, robust food safety culture must extend to every employee, with industry and regulator partnership being the best way to mitigate food safety issues efficiently. The PATH also worked to connect current industry leaders with prominent regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) and global food safety audit body, AIB International to share on food safety culture and how it positively impacts businesses. AIB stressed that simple food safety programmes are not enough to establish proper food safety culture, rather it is important for all levels in the organisation to advocate for and act as an example for proper sanitation and hand hygiene practices. AIB also highlighted the positive impacts that food safety culture brings to businesses such as increasing morale, productivity and revenue. MOH further reiterated the importance of food safety while sharing an extensive list of best practices in regards to food safety and highlighting how crucial a trusted pest and hygiene management partner is in achieving standards in food safety. Carol Lam, the Managing Director of RI Malaysia said “At Rentokil Initial, we are always committed to understand your needs and challenges. Through this deep understanding, we can then provide the right and innovative solution that solves your pest & hygiene issues. Our commitment is to continue the dialogue based on partnership and food safety, with the aspiration of connecting them with environmental sustainability, from food integrity to reducing plastic waste.” PATH workshop was attended by more than 160 participants from over 80 companies, highlighted on how companies need to form close working relationships and share responsibilities with their pest control providers for effective pest management. The main theme centers around how partnering with regulators and adhering to best practices, such as removing food sources to minimise pest attractions coupled with the help of pest control experts, companies can reduce the risk of infestations. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=34454

In recent years, the cartoon and animation industry is considered one of the most promising emerging industries in China. In 2005, Hangzhou held the first edition of the festival, and started to turn on the ‘Hangzhou model’ for China's cartoon and animation industry. Over the past 10 years, with a series of supporting policies for the cartoon and animation industry, Hangzhou has attracted many excellent domestic and foreign cartoon and animation companies and creators to operate in the city. Thereby, Chinese cartoonists and animators have taken on a mission to create Chinese cartoon and animation stories and brands. Obviously, the creators, bred in this ancient cultural city, are committed to demonstrating deep cultural genes with cartoons and animations and depicting oriental aesthetics. With the rise of China's cartoon and animation market, many overseas filmmakers are seeking to cooperate with China, exploring Chinese culture, and seizing the opportunities to tell Chinese stories. -- BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (Benchmark Minerals) has appointed Vivas Kumar as Principal Consultant, joining its Forecast & Consultancy Division.
