Coway marks 19 years in Malaysia with innovation fest
COWAY Malaysia is marking nearly two decades of revolutionising home wellness with the launch of the Coway Innovation Fest (CIF), an experiential showcase bringing the brand's latest innovations directly to consumers.
Taking place from May 21 to 25 at IOI City Mall, Putrajaya, the event highlights Coway's commitment to enhancing the lives of Malaysians through cutting-edge solutions in water, air, sleep, and home care.

Designed to create a more immersive and interactive customer experience, the showcase presents Coway's newest technological advancements aimed at making everyday life more comfortable and convenient.
Introducing the BEREX Smart Mattress – The Future of Sleep
Among the standout attractions of CIF is the exclusive preview of the Coway BEREX Smart Mattress, touted as the first mattress that adjusts to the sleeper's needs. Powered by advanced smart sensor technology, it tracks body movements and sleeping posture in real time, continuously adapting its comfort zones throughout the night. The result? Enhanced spinal alignment, deeper rest, and optimised sleep quality—a new frontier in sleep wellness.
'The past 19 years have cemented Coway's presence in Malaysian households, but today, we take things further by offering people a more personal, accessible, and meaningful connection with our innovations,' said Ryan Jung, Head of Marketing and Product Division of Coway Malaysia.
'From restful sleep to cleaner air and smarter living, everything we design supports a better everyday life. That's why Coway Innovation Fest brings this vision to life, allowing Malaysians to experience wellness in ways that are truly felt and lived.'
Elevating Home Living with Smart Solutions
In addition to its pioneering sleep technology, CIF showcases several of Coway's most advanced innovations:
Washer Dryer – Coway's debut in laundry care features a 2-in-1 smart appliance with a 10kg wash and 6kg dry capacity, designed for efficiency. Powered by a Direct Drive Inverter Motor, it delivers a quiet yet powerful washing and drying experience.
P-Series Air Conditioner – This dual-function system ensures fast, even cooling while purifying air in real time. A 6-stage hygiene care system eliminates 99.99% of airborne contaminants, while an intelligent self-cleaning unit enhances durability and energy efficiency.
Villaem III Water Purifier – The third-generation model offers 48 customisable settings, including six water temperatures and eight volume options, catering to individual preferences. Its UV tank sterilisation, activating every 12 hours, ensures bacteria-free water around the clock.
Commemorating Coway's Growth in Malaysia
Celebrating 19 years of excellence, Coway Innovation Fest is more than a showcase—it's a testament to the brand's dedication to shaping the future of home wellness.
From unveiling the Coway BEREX Smart Mattress to opening its first-ever Brand Store in IOI Putrajaya, Coway invites Malaysians to embark on an exciting journey of discovery and experience first-hand the innovations designed to support healthier, smarter living.

PJ mixed rice meal shocks M'sian at RM13.40
ONCE the affordable go-to meal for many Malaysians, mixed rice — or economy rice — is now sparking outrage for a very different reason: its rising price. A recent post on Reddit's r/MalaysianFood went viral after one user shared that he was charged RM13.40 for a plate of mixed rice at a restaurant in Petaling Jaya. The dish? A modest serving of white rice, stir-fried cabbage and carrots, and what appeared to be braised meat. 'Mixed rice so expensive. RM13.40 for this, my friends. Long live 'economy' rice,' he wrote, sharing a photo of his meal. ALSO READ: Man charged RM28 for economy rice and drink in KL stall The post quickly drew attention from fellow Malaysians, many shocked at the steep price — especially given the small portion. 'RM13?! Luckily you didn't slap the owner,' one user joked. 'Penang area can get that for RM8–9! But wherever you are, that's pricey,' said another. READ MORE: Student disputes RM18 economy rice charge in Malaysia 'Sorry buddy, but that's too expensive,' a third chimed in. Some commenters suggested cheaper protein alternatives like beef lungs or eggs to keep costs down, while others lamented the irony of calling it economy rice. 'Nowadays they shouldn't label it just 'economy rice' but rather 'premium economy' rice,' one user quipped.

O'Briens Malaysia: Fresh, fast and balanced
ON the sandwich shop spectrum, O'Briens Irish Sandwich Cafe Malaysia (O'Briens) falls on the slightly more premium end but customers are known to get what they pay for – sandwiches crafted to international standards with high-quality, fresh ingredients. Speaking to theSun, O'Briens managing director and master franchise holder Brian Pua explained that the success of the brand over the past two decades is the result of his team's relentless commitment in upholding the highest standards in food quality, customer service and healthy food products. Opening its first outlet in Malaysia at Great Eastern Mall in Kuala Lumpur back in 2002, O'Briens quickly expanded under Pua's stewardship to over 30 locations, largely in urban areas. Though the 'Irish' in its name may give some pause, Pua stressed that O'Briens is halal-certified, which was his very intention from the opening of the initial Malaysian outlet. 'As a cafe offering what many consider comfort food, it was important for us to target the halal status. Now, all our food is halal-certified, so our Muslim customers can enjoy their meals with confidence,' Pua explained. 'From the start, it was very clear how we would serve our customers,' he said. Healthy eating, local flavours O'Briens was one of the first businesses in the country's food and beverage landscape to push the concept of fresh and nutritious food – even if the general awareness on how both went hand in hand with living a healthy lifestyle was not as prevalent. Pua believes the pandemic drove a change in attitudes. 'It was when people began to have more awareness on the importance of taking care of their immune system by consuming more natural, fresh food products. 'People now look for meals that support their lifestyle, where they want something balanced, fresh and satisfying. We are proud to be part of that movement and it is great to see so many regulars who have made O'Briens part of their everyday routine,' he said. Yet, O'Briens is not rigid in its offerings. Over time, the brand has adapted – or rather tweaked – its menu to suit local tastes while maintaining its original values. 'Being a Malaysian myself has helped guide O'Briens. In the beginning, we looked at introducing Irish sandwiches, the concept and lifestyle to the Malaysian market. Over time, we looked into the taste of what O'Briens offered,' he said. Giving an example, Pua cited how Malaysians liked spicy food. This eventually led to the O'Briens menu adopting items such as the Piri-Piri Chicken Multigrain and the Volcanic Chicken Wrap. 'Another thing was the demand for vegetarian options and we answered it with a wide range of vegetarian offerings such as the Watercress Sandwich and even those that combined the spicy and vegetarian taste portfolio, such as the Sundried Tomato on Hot Ciabatta, which is popular with vegetarians,' he pointed out. 'We put in the effort to make each and every sandwich have its own unique identity by increasing the taste portfolio, while staying true to our Irish roots and the philosophy of clean, nutritious eating'. Listening to lifestyles Today, O'Briens continues to adapt to what consumers are looking for. To Pua, this means always having his ear to the ground. On top of integrating new technology into its operations, O'Briens is working with the fitness industry, finding new ways to approach the food and beverage landscape. They are already taking into consideration what gym-goers want. 'We have done surveys with them to develop our salads to be low in carbohydrates and high in protein, while striking a balance between the health aspect and the taste of our food,' Pua said. While the brand is known for promoting healthy foods and living, one element is conspiciously missing from its clean and attractive menu – nutritional information for each item, with calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats in gram and so on clearly stated. 'We are currently working on it,' Pua exclaimed with a laugh. 'In fact, our halal quality control team already has all the information for each product and very soon, we will incorporate it into our menu. 'We want our customers to know the nutritional value of what they consume and they can plan their meals. That is also what we want to encourage our customers to do, which is to have a balanced diet,' he said.
