BNM, govt to work on implementing ‘RESET' initiative to address high medical inflation
KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the government are working on implementing the RESET initiative to address the high medical inflation in Malaysia. BNM governor Datuk Seri Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said the initiative is a joint commitment undertaken with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) aimed at revamping medical and health insurance and takaful. He stated that the RESET initiative would also serve to enhance price transparency, strengthen digital health systems, expand cost-effective care options and transform provider payment mechanisms. 'The success of RESET hinges on the involvement of all stakeholders in building a more accessible and resilient healthcare system and formulations,' he said in his welcoming address at the Sasana Symposium 2025, here today. Abdul Rasheed added that more details on RESET and the broader healthcare reforms will be discussed in the panel session entitled 'Rising Cost, Rising Stakes: Expediting Reforms to Address Medical Inflation', which will be held tomorrow, June 18. The session will feature Abdul Rasheed alongside Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefli Ahmad, Treasury secretary-general Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican and World Bank senior economist Aakash Mohpal. Meanwhile, Abdul Rasheed emphasised that structural reforms require a whole-of-nation approach, and one area where this was on full display is in the healthcare reforms, where rising medical inflation demands a more coordinated approach. The central bank governor noted that against the backdrop of economic uncertainties, open discourse is vital for gathering the best ideas to enable Malaysia to respond effectively to external challenges while continuing to drive structural reforms for the country. 'We are approaching this environment from a position of strength. The latest high-frequency indicators, such as the manufacturing industrial production index (IPI), services, exports and wages, point toward a resilient growth of the Malaysian economy,' he added.

RESET Mind & Body Expands Access to Elite Recovery Modalities for the Masses
RESET Mind & Body is revolutionizing wellness by making elite recovery accessible and affordable. Using the RESET Method, it combines compression therapy, infrared sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and red light therapy into a 60-minute session, delivering benefits of workouts, yoga, and massage in one. United States, March 13, 2025 -- Bringing Professional Recovery to Everyone Historically, recovery techniques such as cold plunging, infrared therapy, and compression therapy have been reserved for professional athletes and the ultra-wealthy. RESET Mind & Body is challenging this exclusivity by offering these advanced modalities to the general public in an affordable and community-driven setting. 'The RESET Method is designed to amplify the benefits of each therapy by sequencing them in an intentional order,' says Spencer Davis, Founder of RESET Mind & Body. 'While each of these modalities is powerful on its own, their combined effect enhances muscle recovery, reduces inflammation, improves sleep, and helps dissolve anxiety more effectively than using them separately.' The RESET Method: A Science-Backed Approach to Wellness The RESET Method was created by co-founders Tim and Spencer to maximize the benefits of each recovery tool. Unlike traditional wellness centers that offer a la carte services in a clinical setting, RESET takes a holistic and community-based approach to recovery. A single session at RESET includes: Compression Therapy – Improves circulation and speeds up muscle recovery. Infrared Sauna – Detoxifies the body and promotes relaxation. Cold Plunge – Reduces inflammation, boosts immunity, and sharpens mental clarity. Hot Tub Therapy – Soothes sore muscles and enhances relaxation. Red Light Therapy – Supports skin health and cellular regeneration. This structured sequence ensures compounded benefits, mimicking the results of a HIIT workout, yoga session, and deep-tissue massage in a single visit. Wellness Meets Community RESET is not just about individual recovery—it's about building a community around wellness. Unlike traditional recovery centers that focus solely on the physical benefits of their services, RESET offers a welcoming space where people can connect, recharge, and support one another in their health journeys. 'Cold plunging and recovery aren't just for biohackers and elite athletes anymore,' says Davis. 'At RESET, we believe that everyone deserves access to these transformative tools, and we're making that possible.' A Growing Movement in the Wellness Space RESET Mind & Body is expanding rapidly, bringing its innovative wellness approach to multiple locations. With eight locations already in operation and growing, RESET is quickly becoming a leader in the accessible recovery space. As more people seek holistic, science-backed recovery solutions, RESET stands out as a company that prioritizes affordability, accessibility, and community-driven wellness.
