SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 7 May 2025 – Bee Choo Origin, Singapore's leading herbal hair care brand that specialises in hair fall treatment and oily scalp treatment , has reaffirmed its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) with the donation of an electric passenger van to The National Kidney Foundation (NKF). This marks a significant step in enhancing patient mobility while promoting sustainable transport solutions.This donation is part of the long tradition of Bee Choo Origin supporting NKF, reflecting its dedication to making a positive impact beyond the beauty industry. The electric van, which is the first of its kind in NKF's fleet, will be used to provide transportation for kidney patients who require regular dialysis treatments but face difficulties commuting to and from medical centres.The donation from Bee Choo Origin supports NKF's Wheeling for Love & Hope Programme, which provides free transport services to patients struggling with mobility issues. The new electric van is designed with built-in access steps and spacious seating, ensuring safe and comfortable travel for patients. It is expected to facilitate up to 1,044 trips annually, benefiting approximately 72 patients per week.For many kidney patients, travelling to dialysis centres three times a week can be physically demanding and financially burdensome. NKF's transport programme alleviates this challenge, offering patients reliable and accessible transportation at no cost. The introduction of an electric van further enhances this initiative by reducing carbon emissions and lowering operational costs in the long run.'We're deeply honoured to partner with NKF on this meaningful initiative,' said Ms. Lim Xue Ting, General Manager of Bee Choo Origin. 'Dialysis is a lifeline for many, and we hope this contribution helps ease the journey for patients while also supporting a greener, more sustainable future. At Bee Choo Origin, community care and environmental responsibility are values we hold close, and this donation is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to both.'Bee Choo Origin has been a steadfast supporter of NKF for several years, previously donating five dialysis machines since 2018 to enhance treatment capacity. The latest contribution of an electric van builds upon this partnership, reinforcing the brand's dedication to social good.Beyond its work with NKF, Bee Choo Origin has actively supported various charitable organisations through its CSR initiatives, including:In 2019, the brand's founder, Mdm Cheah Bee Chew, personally donated $150,000 from the sales proceeds of her biography to multiple social causes, demonstrating her deep-rooted belief in philanthropy.As Bee Choo Origin celebrates its 25th anniversary, the brand is looking ahead to more initiatives that align with both environmental responsibility and community welfare. The transition to electric transport solutions is a step towards reducing carbon footprints while improving the quality of life for those in need."We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to society in meaningful ways," added Ms. Lim Xue Ting. "Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a difference. We hope our contributions inspire other companies and individuals to support those in need."Moving forward, the brand's CSR efforts will continue to focus on improving lives and giving back to the community. Plans are already underway for future community initiatives, reinforcing the brand's mission of creating lasting positive change.Hashtag: #BeeChooOrigin

Treasury tells why 8% service tax exempted to lease aircraft, ships
The aviation and maritime industries play an important role in the supply chain, tourism and economy, said the Treasury. (File pic) PETALING JAYA : The finance ministry has sought to clarify why it has exempted the leasing of aircraft and ships from the 8% service tax on commercial rental and leasing services. The Treasury said one key reason the exemption was given was to prevent the owners of aircraft and ships from registering them abroad. Allowing that to happen would lead to a decrease in economic and tourism activity in Malaysia, it said in a statement. It said another reason was that other neighbouring countries do not impose a service tax on these leasing services. 'Without the exemption, customers may opt for aircraft and ship leasing services overseas instead,' it said. The ministry also denied that the exemption was done discreetly, saying an official notification was uploaded on the customs department's MySST portal on July 24. 'This exemption is specifically for the aviation and maritime industries, which play an important role in the supply chain, tourism, and economy. 'It does not apply to vehicle rentals such as cars, buses, or business premises, which differ in terms of the way they are used,' it added. The 8% service tax on rental and leasing services, which came into force from July 1, applies to service providers whose rental or lease income exceeds RM1 million. Lessees that are micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with annual sales of less than RM500,000 are exempted.

Tabung Haji denies setting aside RM20mil for rebranding
Lembaga Tabung Haji said it is inaccurate to state that the fund does not need to strengthen its branding just because it is well known after 60 years in operation. PETALING JAYA : Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) has rubbished claims that it has set aside some RM20 million to be spent on a rebranding exercise for the pilgrim fund. TH said such claims were untrue and slanderous, as it had only allocated a total of RM6 million for a brand rejuvenation exercise over a three-year period. In a statement today, the board also said it is inaccurate to say that Tabung Haji does not need to strengthen its branding just because it is well-known after 60 years in operation. 'TH has embarked on branding strengthening exercises several times prior to this, and these are important investments to change mindsets and attract the interests of Muslims to save systemically so that they can perform the haj. 'TH's board of directors decided to review its strategies to remain competitive in offering the best services and attract more young Malaysian Muslims as depositors,' it said. TH said the RM6 million allocated would involve extensive market research and engagements with depositors to better understand their needs. It pointed out that it only had 9.6 million depositors today, or half the Malaysian Muslim population. It also said 53% of depositors have less than RM1,300 saved, far below what was needed to perform the haj. Earlier this week, PAS's Pengkalan Chepa MP Ahmad Marzuk Shaary claimed that three firms have been appointed to help with TH's purported rebranding exercise. He said this would involve RM20 million in TH funds.
