| Soap brand takes their campaign to primary schools Posted: 08 Sep 2012 04:48 AM PDT ABOUT 5,000 pupils from nine primary schools in the Klang Valley received hand sanitisers each as a reminder to practise good hygiene at all times. The initiative was part of Lifebuoy's ongoing hygiene crusade to promote healthier Malaysians via the call of 'Malaysia, Jom Lebih Sihat! (Malaysia Let's Get Healthier!). The brand's hygiene experts also provided informative hygiene facts and advice, including the proper hand washing technique to the pupils. Malaysia and Singapore Unilever marketing director Hugo Verkuil said their aim was to remind young Malaysians to keep practising hygienic habits, even if they were on holiday. "Eventually, we hope the message will remain ingrained in them throughout their lives "As prevention is always better than cure, a hand sanitiser is ideal to keep you protected and to be used on the go so that you have less to worry about," he said. With a history dating back to 1894, Lifebuoy soap continues to be widely available and affordable. To-date, the brand has helped more than 1.6 billion people around the world live with greater freedom from health problems. The brand aims to champion the hygiene crusade to promote a healthier Malaysia via the continuation of its call for Malaysia, Jom Lebih Sihat!. |
