SINGAPORE, April 29 — Milo fans across Singapore have rushed to supermarkets to snap up a new series of limited edition plush toys launched to mark the iconic drink's 75th anniversary in the country.
Released on April 26, the plushies are bundled with promotional packs of Milo products and come in two themed sets: the Breakfast Set and the Breaktime Set, each featuring miniature soft toys inspired by beloved local snacks and Milo drinks, according to a report published in Channel News Asia today.
TikTok videos showed enthusiastic crowds at outlets such as Northpoint City's NTUC and Woodlands' FairPrice, with customers eager to grab the promo packs containing a randomised plushie from the collection.

Collectors are trying to complete both sets, with some turning to online marketplaces like Carousell, where plushies and the accompanying eco-bag are being resold at prices ranging from S$10 (RM33) to S$38.
The plush toys are available while stocks last, and CNA Lifestyle has contacted Milo Singapore to ask if more designs are planned.
To obtain the Breakfast Set plushies, customers need to buy a Milo 3-in-1 (16 sachets) or Milo Gao Siew Dai (13 sachets) pack priced at S$7.95, which includes one plushie.
Alternatively, purchasing five Milo UHT 4x125ml Cluster packs at S$2.87 each will earn a Breaktime Set plush per pack.
These promotional items are being sold at major supermarkets including FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Shiong and Prime.

M'sian company awards sleepy staff & MC champs—netizens can't stop laughing

ANNUAL dinners are typically all glitz, stiff speeches, and the usual 'Best Employee of the Year' awards—but one Malaysian company decided to shake things up in the most unexpected way. In a now-viral TikTok clip, the company's annual celebration took a humorous twist by giving out cheeky awards that had staff and netizens in stitches. Among the categories? 'Anugerah Staf Paling Banyak MC' (Staff with the Most MCs) and 'Anugerah Staf Paling Kuat Tidur' (Staff Who Sleeps the Most). Rather than spotlighting only the overachievers, the event celebrated the quirks of office life that many employees can relate to—with trophies handed out to those who frequently called in sick or were often caught dozing off. The unorthodox awards quickly made rounds on social media, with amused netizens saying they wouldn't mind working at a place that rewards napping. Some joked that they might finally have a shot at winning something at their own office dinners. 'This 'outstanding employee' award is just for fun to liven up the event.. kudos to the company and the bosses for being so sporting,' one user called Personal Financial Advisor commented. 'Good thing they showed up—if they had taken MC too, who would've accepted the award?' Seketul Nuar joked.

Deaf-mute son recites Al-Fatihah in sign language at mother's grave, touches millions

Hafizi is seen standing beside his mother's grave, his hands moving gracefully to convey silent prayers. By DANIAL HAKIM 24 Jun 2025 01:22pm The footage shows Hafizi Hamdan, 25, reciting Al-Fatihah in sign language, then gently waving goodbye to his mother, Salawati Ahmad, who passed away last August from ovarian cancer. Photo: TikTok / @Hasmalina10 SHAH ALAM - A visit to a mother's grave became a poignant expression of love and loss when 25-year-old Hafizi Hamdan, who is deaf and mute, was filmed reciting prayers in sign language. The now-viral TikTok video has touched millions, offering a silent yet powerful reminder of the depth of a child's devotion. In the video, uploaded by his aunt Hasmalina Ahmad, Hafizi is seen standing beside his mother's grave, his hands moving gracefully to convey silent prayers. His mother, Salawati Ahmad, passed away last August from ovarian cancer. The footage, filmed at Kampung Mahang Muslim Cemetery in Seremban, shows Hafizi reciting Al-Fatihah in sign language before gently waving goodbye to his mother. 'He doesn't speak, but he shows it through his actions. His prayers, his longing for his mother – everyone can feel it, even without words,' Hasmalina said. Hafizi has lived with hearing and speech impairments since birth, yet those around him describe him as deeply aware, affectionate and responsible. Hafizi Hamdan (left) with his aunt Hasmalina Ahmad. He is the eldest of two siblings and now lives with his grandmother, under the care of Hasmalina's family. Through a WhatsApp message to Malay daily Harian Metro, Hafizi said everything felt quiet after his mother's passing. 'I still miss her, even now, because we were close. That's why I often visit her grave. 'Each time I visit, I will pray for her. In the video that went viral, I was reciting Al-Fatihah before saying goodbye,' he reportedly said. The video, posted by @Hasmalina10, has since gathered nearly two million views and over 2,000 comments — many of them filled with emotional responses from netizens moved by Hafizi's pure, unspoken love. 'Allahu, it's heartbreaking how he expressed his longing through sign language,' wrote a user named Jeffry. 'So sad, he's reciting a prayer for his beloved,' commented Rabuyah Abas. 'A longing with no end,' typed user Nor Rita, echoing what many felt watching the brief but powerful moment. Alternatively, Hasmalina highlighted how Hafizi is not only affectionate but also incredibly hardworking. Often, he now helps run a school canteen in Oakland, Seremban, alongside her. Beyond the viral moment, Hafizi's silent act of love has become a powerful reminder for many to value family, honour loved ones, and appreciate that love transcends language and ability. 'Most of the comments were positive. Many said they learned something from the video and have become more appreciative of their parents while they're still around,' Hasmalina said. She hopes the video opens more eyes to the humanity and depth of people with disabilities. 'They are not less. They just express things differently. But the love is the same — maybe even deeper,' she mused. More Like This
