Malaysian Skincare Brand The Mineraw Is Back On The Market & Fans Are Stoked!
Attended by over 70 guests — including local media, content creators, influencers, and brand partners — the LIFTED event marked the rebirth of a beloved clean beauty label originally founded in 2018.
Now under new leadership by CEO Brandon Porle and CCO Samantha Yap, The Mineraw offers minimalist, fuss-free personal care products but with a renewed focus on community, accessibility, and conscious self-care for all.
'Skincare shouldn't be a science experiment,' shared Porle in his welcome remarks. 'It should be simple. Possible. And make you feel like yourself again.'
Porle noted that after The Mineraw initially closed, a wave of loyal customers wrote in, asking for the brand's return — a moment that affirmed the deep connection people had to its philosophy.
The brand's return was apparently inevitable!

Bilateral parks drive growth
(From fourth left) Zuo, Ng and Prof Ewe with seminar sponsors at the Putrajaya Marriott Hotel. THE 'Two Countries, Twin Parks' (Twin Parks) initiative between Malaysia and China has generated over RM117bil in cumulative gross industrial output since it began in 2012. The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia president Datuk Ng Yih Pyng said the cooperation between the China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park (CMQIP) in Guangxi, China, and the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP) in Pahang, had made an impact in various industries. 'Since its opening, MCKIP has gathered various major Chinese enterprises spanning industries such as steel, tyres, papermaking, automobile parts manufacturing and food processing. 'Its cumulative gross industrial output had surpassed 100bil yuan (RM58.8bil) by last December. 'Meanwhile, the first phase of CMQIP has secured 345 project agreements, with a gross industrial output of 106bil yuan (RM62.3bil) and a total foreign trade volume of 45.1bil yuan (RM26.5bil),' he said. He was speaking in Putrajaya at the eighth seminar on the Twin Parks cooperation. The 1,511ha CMQIP's first phase is designed for apartments, industries, businesses and office buildings, according to the Malaysia-China Business Council's website. It also includes a 787ha start-up district that started operating in August 2011. Ng said there was still room for improvement in attracting foreign investment and encouraging greater participation of Malaysian businesses. He suggested an inter-park coordination mechanism be set up to speed up the project implementation while bringing in enterprises with high added value. 'Investments in technological innovation as well as research and development also need to be increased. 'We should be more active in attracting international investments by leveraging opportunities like the visa exemption. 'Specialised teams should also be formed to attract high-quality small and medium enterprises from overseas as well as more Malaysian companies.' He also proposed projects that integrated new trends such as automation, digitalisation and green technology. 'We can turn these projects into models for others to learn from. 'We need to improve the overall institutional and business environment of the parks,' he said, noting that they could learn from the Suzhou Industrial Park in Jiangsu, China. 'This can create a more efficient, transparent and convenient investment environment,' Ng added. The seminar was jointly organised by the two industrial parks, along with Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park (Guangxi) Investment Holding Group Co Ltd and Guangxi Minzu University. Also present were UTAR president Prof Datuk Dr Ewe Hong Tat and CMQIP deputy director Zuo Kongtian. Prof Ewe said the seminar's theme of 'Fostering Innovation for a Shared Future' was timely in view of the rapidly changing global economic landscape. 'This rapid evolution is shaped by technological advancements, sustainability regulations and shifting market dynamics. 'It is through collaborative innovation that we can harness opportunities, address shared challenges as well as build a prosperous future,' he said. The one-day event also saw participants engaging in a forum titled 'Collaborative Innovation: Building a Shared Future in a Changing World' and various presentations by experts.

Building teams for nation building
I WAS delighted to be able to join the retreat of the IDEAS Autism Centre team in Melaka recently. Sometimes, these company getaways can seem superficial—a big checkbox for directors, managers and executives alike to show that they care about team building, welfare and spending the allocated budget—but this one was truly purposeful and heartfelt. In recognising staff who have been serving for a decade or more, it served as a reminder of the growth of the entire project, borne out of a piece of research about providing therapy and education to some of the most disadvantaged people in our society—children on the autism spectrum from B40 families. With hundreds of children's lives transformed for the better, the people of IDEAS Autism Centre continue to work hard to work with families, corporates and government to uplift this amazing community. With three branches now—in Rawang, Nilai, and Port Dickson—the gathering enabled us to better strategise not just team cooperation, but joint events for the children as well. At one of my more corporate outfits there has been a leadership transition, and at such times the importance of having strong bonds among colleagues becomes unmistakably clear. There is often a critical period where there are rumours about resignations, replacements, disagreements amongst directors or shareholders and so on, speaking concern that may prompt others to leave as well. Thankfully, when there is a high level of trust between board and management, such turbulence can be successfully ridden out, and the company can achieve a renewed sense of purpose when the new chief executive signs the employment contract. At a session with one of the chambers of commerce of a European country, I was asked about the level of cohesiveness within Malaysian political parties. Thankfully I knew something about that country's history and politics, and could point out that individual self-interest, whether within the same or across opposing political parties, often emerges as the prime motivator for politicians anywhere in the world and at any point in history. And so, individuals switching allegiance to a different party within the same coalition, personalities condemning their party colleagues for exaggerating certain issues (being selective about race while doing so), or leaders failing to punish problematic individuals just because they are politically useful—all these are phenomena which the Malaysian public need to tolerate, while hoping that beneficial policies actually get designed and executed as the politicians clamber over one another while ascending the greasy pole. Even among that dirty profession there are bright spots though. Increasingly, I see backbench Members of Parliament from different sides working productively and intelligently towards common policy and legislative goals regarding children, refugees, or even political financing. However, when there is a particularly significant incident that catches national attention, such as the tragic death of teenage student Zara Qairina Mahathir at a religious boarding school in Sabah and the circumstances leading up to it—full of speculation but certainly involving weaknesses in processes and a pathetic response by the Ministry of Education—politicians cannot resist sliding back into hyperbole, with accusations against leaders bandied about on social media and lawsuits ensuing. I hope that in the matter of addressing bullying in our schools, political parties actively reach out to civil society organisations who have worked in education and with children, with expertise in mental health and programmes that have been proven to foster cohesion. In this and indeed all areas of public policy, we need to expand and solidify the ecosystem so that deliberate and toxic disruption to public policymaking is minimised. Political point scoring must not continue to be rewarded; rather, effective policymaking should be. Team building within civil society organisations is important, too, especially for a young and dynamic team in which some people enter and leave, pursue other careers and maybe come back. Transience and permanence of people have existed side-by-side for years at the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), and so I was happy to join the second edition of the badminton tournament. Complete with group and knockout stages, thoughtful pairings and seedings, the researchers and administrators of the think tank were joined by the teachers and therapists of the IDEAS Autism Centre for a day of enjoyable competitiveness. Sadly I did not repeat the achievement of the bronze medal, but my partner and I—an intern destined for a management consultancy—won the Best Doubles Partner Award. Apparently we high-fived a lot. With the annual extended fortnight of celebrations between Merdeka and Malaysia Day coming up, it's an apt time for us as Malaysians to think of team building not just as a company or organisational project, but a national one too. * Tunku Zain Al-'Abidin is Founding President of IDEAS.
