PETALING JAYA : What if your next guilty pleasure wasn't guilty at all? That's exactly what SW Food is promising with the latest flavour in its Brice snack range – truffle.
Launched under the ecoBrown's brand and backed by the slogan 'Snack the Smart Way', this new addition blends bold, sophisticated taste with nutritional value, giving snack lovers a reason to feel good about every bite.
'We chose truffle as our third flavour to bring a touch of indulgence to everyday snacking,' said Vynce Lim, head of marketing at SW Food.
'Truffle has been gaining popularity in the Malaysian market, and we wanted to make this luxurious flavour more accessible to everyone.'
Truffle joins the popular Spicy Cheese and Seaweed flavours in the Brice lineup – both of which quickly found fans among Malaysians since their debut last year.
Now this latest offering takes things up a notch with a flavour that's often associated with fine dining – now made accessible in a clean, crunchy rice snack.

Friday's launch of Brice's new flavour caused a frenzy, and not just because of the snack: members of K-pop sensation Treasure – Choi Hyun Suk, Doyoung, Haruto, and Park Jeong Woo – officiated the event, sending fans into a full-blown frenzy.
Hundreds of dedicated Treasure seekers, holding light sticks and donning personalised merch, lined up as early as 6am for a glimpse of their idols at the event in Sunway Pyramid.
Screams echoed through the mall as the stars took the stage, creating an electrifying atmosphere that matched the excitement of the new flavour reveal.
Brice snacks are made from a wholesome trio of brown rice, red rice, and black rice – ingredients chosen not just for their taste and texture but for their nutritional punch.
Each serving is baked, not fried, and packed with dietary fibre as well as vitamins B3, B6 and E, making it a functional snack for those constantly on the go.

With the rising trend of mindful eating and wellness-driven lifestyles, Brice's timing could not be better.
'Brice stands out in the snack market by offering a healthier alternative without compromising on taste,' Lim noted. 'Our snacks are baked, not fried, making them a lighter option.
'We're committed to creating snacks that are not only delicious but also better for you.'
Indeed, the truffle flavour offers a layer of earthiness and depth that elevates snacking, whether it's during a Netflix binge, a busy workday, or a quick bite between classes.
For those new to the brand, Lim has this to say: 'Brice is the perfect choice for those looking for a guilt-free snacking experience. Our snacks are clean, crave-worthy, and made with care.
'Once you try it, you'll discover that being healthy can be irresistibly addictive.'

What's the buzz? Meet the former biologist who moves beehives
Former biologist John Chan says humans can learn to live peacefully with bees. (Dinesh Kumar Maganathan @ FMT Lifestyle) PETALING JAYA : It was supposed to be a standard relocation. But as John Chan rose skyward in a cramped skylift box, face-to-face with a massive 2m-wide honeycomb hanging high above an international school in Bandar Baru Bangi, he knew this wasn't going to be an ordinary rescue. The air was already thick with warning. 'We lit the smoke – we always do that first,' he said, referring to the makeshift burner made from cardboard egg cartons. 'But even that didn't calm them. The bees attacked immediately.' The hive belonged to the 'lebah tualang', or giant honeybee – Malaysia's largest and most aggressive species. 'Their sting is the most painful. I wear at least three layers, but if they really want to get through, they can.' That day, they did. Chan, a volunteer at My Bee Savior (MBS), was stung four or five times through his protective suit. One of his fellow volunteers, stationed safely on the ground below, had it worse – he bolted over 100m to the school's main gate, only to discover 30 stings across his back. Surprisingly, the giant honeybees are Chan's favourite: 'They are beautiful creatures; unlike other bee species here, they form a congregation of 30 to 40 hives on a single tree. They command a lot of respect.' Chan and fellow volunteers at My Bee Savior offer beehive-relocation services for free. (My Bee Savior pic) Still, this particular case was one of the rare ones during which Chan and his team had to retreat. At 43, the former biologist dedicates his life to protecting both people and bees. As part of MBS, which relocates beehives free of charge, Chan deals with some of nature's most misunderstood – and sometimes most dangerous – creatures. Originally a government initiative under the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute, MBS re-emerged in 2019 as a volunteer-led organisation with one mission: to offer humane, non-lethal solutions to Malaysia's rising cases of urban beehives. For Chan, this mission often requires nerves of steel, a beekeeper's precision, and the level-headedness to walk away when nature refuses to yield. 'Sometimes we have to abandon a case – it's too dangerous. But even then, we make sure to guide them. Close your windows, turn off porch lights: bees are drawn to light. We help people stay safe.' Giant honeybees are the biggest and most aggressive bees in the country. (John Chan pic) So, why risk his life for bees? It stems from Chan's lifelong love of nature. 'Biology has been my favourite subject since Form 4,' he shared. 'And I ran an ecotourism business for many years, where we dealt with and handled wildlife. I was focused on insects and plants.' His path shifted during the pandemic. While most stayed home, Chan joined a global project studying bee microbiomes – the gut bacteria of bees – alongside researchers from Switzerland's University of Lausanne and two local universities. 'We needed real-time access to bee colonies for sampling. MBS was the best resource: they were getting complaints and relocation requests almost daily,' Chan recalled. What began as a scientific necessity soon evolved into a calling. The deeper Chan went, the more committed he became – not just to research, but to protecting bees and the ecosystems they support. Indeed, the work he does is important. Relocating beehives isn't just about keeping people safe – it's about protecting the very creatures that keep our ecosystems thriving. Saving bees is important for the world's food supply. (Dinesh Kumar Maganathan @ FMT Lifestyle) 'Honeybees are mainly pollinators,' Chan explained. Without them, entire food systems would begin to collapse. In a world where bees are often misunderstood – swatted at, sprayed, or seen as threats – Chan's goal is as much about education as it is about rescue. Every hive safely moved is a small victory for biodiversity. 'Beehives can be relocated. It's not necessary to kill them, which seems to be most people's natural response. Yes, they can be dangerous, but in most cases, they are actually not. We can learn to live harmoniously with bees,' he concluded. Find out more about My Bee Savior here, and follow them on Facebook.

Go batty with the zany adventures of ‘Keluang Man'
Keluang Man (Nas-T) is certainly all fired up to get revenge on his brother. (Astro Shaw pic) PETALING JAYA : Look, up in the sky! Is it a bat? Is it a wau?! No, it's Keluang Man, making his way to the silver screen at long last! Blockbuster superhero films have been the rage over the last decade, so it was only a matter of time that this beloved Malaysian superhero got his own cinematic adventure. 'Keluang Man' is a largely faithful live-action adaptation of the 1990s cartoon series produced by UAS Animation Studio. Its serious and silly elements sometimes clash but, overall, it's a fun superhero adventure. The big-screen version is produced by Astro Shaw and marks the directorial debut of Anwari Ashraf, the writer of hits such as the 'Polis Evo' trilogy and 'Project: High Council'. In the film, Borhan (Nas-T), a patient at the Tampoi Psychiatric Centre in Kluang, spends his days arguing with other inmates and undergoing sessions with the beautiful and intelligent Dr Malini (Shweta Sekhon). Borhan hears voices in his head – more precisely, just one voice: that of iconic actor and radio announcer Halim Othman. When a chance encounter triggers memories of Borhan's dramatic past, which involves a betrayal by his once-trusted brother Shamsir (Remy Ishak), Borhan becomes eager for revenge. Fortunately, his psychiatric facility has the lowest level of security ever, allowing him to leave regularly for his crusade of justice as the masked vigilante Keluang Man; while the grizzled Inspector Sahab (Anwaar Beg Moghal) – who happens to be Dr Malini's brother – is hot on his trail. Shweta Sekhon plays the intelligent Dr Malini, who forms a bond with Borhan. (Astro Shaw pic) At first glance, this stylish superhero seems to be a local version of Batman. But this is a different story, as the film will remind you numerous times. A wisecracking misfit with the ability to break the fourth wall? Keluang Man has just as much in common with Deadpool as he does the Dark Knight! Acting-wise, the performers are decent, with Rosyam Nor as Borhan's old mentor Ahmad being particularly noteworthy. That said, Halim Othman's voice acting is the most outstanding of the lot! Much like its eponymous character, however, 'Keluang Man' suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. The film wants to be a serious superhero story and a parody of the genre at the same time, and the rapid shifts in tone can be quite disorienting. The movie is at its funniest when making humorous observations of Malaysian culture, or taking little jabs at other superhero movies. It does attempt to explore themes such as family, identity and revenge, but this feels mostly perfunctory, existing mainly to tie the action and comedy scenes together. Apart from fighting crime, Keluang Man has time to pursue his little art projects. (Astro Shaw pic) The fight scenes are executed well, especially during the climactic clash set in a pillow factory. Alas, while entertaining, this sequence drags on a bit and feels melodramatic, flying in the face of the film's generally humorous vibe. 'Keluang Man' does have a killer soundtrack, which features many throwback hits from the 2000s. Fans will also appreciate numerous references to the original animated series sprinkled through the story. Minor gripes aside, this is a fun superhero comedy, a popcorn flick with lots of local flavour. Importantly, it seems to have been made with love and as a tribute to longtime fans, which is commendable in and of itself. This is also the first entry in the Astro Shaw Cinematic Universe, which suggests the character will return soon. Hopefully Borhan will have more interesting adventures to come: who knows, he might even cross paths with a Marvel superhero some day! 'Keluang Man' starts screening in local cinemas from tomorrow.

Sign-language interpreter Tan Lee Bee receives royal award
Veteran media personality and sign-language interpreter Tan Lee Bee with her Bintang Ahli Mangku Negara award. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : For her dedication as a sign-language interpreter spanning more than four decades, Tan Lee Bee received the Bintang Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN) from Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim yesterday. Tan, who often graces the corner of the television screen during news broadcasts, described the award as a 'great recognition' in her 'silent struggle to convey the voices of the voiceless'. 'I feel happy, moved, I feel like crying, too… I feel very grateful,' the veteran media personality told Bernama after the investiture ceremony in conjunction with the king's official birthday celebration at Istana Negara. 'This recognition is not just for me, it's a symbolic tribute to every interpreter who works silently for a fairer inclusivity in Malaysia,' the 64-year-old added. Tan was among 16 individuals who received the AMN at the ceremony, during which Attorney-General Dusuki Mokhtar and armed forces chief Gen Nizam Jaffar were bestowed with the Darjah Panglima Mangku Negara, which carries the title Tan Sri. Tan's journey as an interpreter began out of love for the person closest to her heart: her younger sister, who is deaf. 'I learnt sign language because of her … people always ask me how I learnt sign language, and they're always surprised to know I never took formal training before I began my career,' she told FMT in 2021. She then served as a teacher for the deaf for 17 years, which she initially found challenging. 'I found it very hard to teach the deaf and I would sometimes cry. At times I just could not make my students understand.' Tan is best known for gracing the corner of TV screens during news broadcasts with her dynamic signing and compelling facial expressions. (Tan Lee Bee pic) During those years, she also served as an interpreter with the federal court. Tan went on to become Malaysia's first court sign-language interpreter in 1994. Still, one might be surprised to learn that her contribution to the world of broadcasting began much earlier, when she appeared on television circa 1985 on the show 'Selamat Pagi Malaysia'. Her facial expressions and signing actions became important visuals in news broadcasts as well as in official communication videos, advertisements, and various broadcasting mediums. Apart from RTM, Tan provides her services to companies with employees who have disabilities. She told FMT five years ago that she derived great satisfaction from serving the deaf community. 'Whatever we interpret, it has to be understood,' she said. 'I have to make sure my interpretation is clear and that I do not make any mistakes. 'As an interpreter, when the deaf understand you well enough and are happy about it, they will come to tell you. As long as my hand is able and my mind is still okay, I will go on interpreting … it is my passion.'
