Seri Mutiara Champions Cup 2017 is Back with Tougher Competition, Top Players and More Action to Wow Basketball Fans of the Region

Nickelodeon today announced Nickelodeon's Together For Good anti-bullying campaign, in support of UNICEF Malaysia’s on-going efforts towards anti-bullying. Nickelodeon’s animated series of public service announcements (PSAs) will run on Nickelodeon Asia’s Facebook page, with the release of a new PSA each week over the next three weeks. The campaign will be amplified through Astro’s and UNICEF Malaysia’s social platforms.

Nickelodeon’s Together For Good is an initiative to empower kids to make positive changes in the world around them and the slogan of Together For Good in anti-bullying is simple: "It's not OK. Say Something.". The approach is to educate children about the different kinds of bullying and to propose methods of stopping it, which includes a call-to-action to contact Malaysia’s Talian Kasih (care hotline): 15999.

Through the PSAs about the fictional stories of kids who have been bullied and their response to it, Nickelodeon is targeting to reach children who may have been experiencing the same kinds of bullying as featured in the PSAs, such as cyber-bullying, discrimination, a girl’s bullying experience and a boy’s bullying experience. The popular kids’ entertainment brand hopes to encourage young Malaysians to speak out against bullying by talking to a parent, a teacher or an adult they can trust.

“Engaging audiences through our pro-social initiatives is a commitment we do not take lightly. As an entertainment company, we believe we have the responsibility to engage our fans in Malaysia, in whatever part we can play. We want to create awareness against anti-bullying. Bullying is not ok and kids need to learn to speak against it. Through this digital campaign, we hope to educate our young fans that if they or their friends are being bullied, they can tell someone about it and learn more. And they can help prevent it,” said Syahrizan Mansor, Vice President, Nickelodeon Asia, Viacom International Media Networks.

“Bullying is never acceptable. It is hurtful and a part of a cycle of aggressive behavior. Everyone is affected – victims, perpetrators and bystanders,” said Marianne Clark-Hattingh, UNICEF Representative in Malaysia. “We are encouraged by Nickelodeon’s ongoing efforts, and hope these videos will enable children to identify bullying and not turn a blind eye. When children feel empowered, they can take the appropriate action, be it telling an adult or people in authority over them.”

Kes denggi bukanlah suatu perkara yang asing di Malaysia dengan kadar peningkatan yang tinggi di kawasan bandar dan pinggir bandar. Tahun lepas sahaja terdapat lebih daripada 75,000 kes denggi yang melibatkan 166 kematian. Kebangkitan virus Zika kini menjadi satu lagi kebimbangan pada masyarakat. 

Antara punca denggi adalah longkang-longkang yang dipenuhi dengan sampah sehingga menyebabkan ada air yang bertakung serta sikap pengotor segelintir penduduk yang kurang mengambil berat mengenai faktor kebersihan di kawasan persekitaran dengan membiarkan air bertakung sehingga menjadi tempat pembiakan nyamuk Aedes antara punca peningkatan kes denggi.

Menurut fakta dari WHO1, perlindungan terhadap gigitan nyamuk adalah penting bagi mencegah penyakit yang berpunca darinya. Langkah-langkah pencegahan harus diteliti terutamanya pada waktu siang dan penglibatan pencegahan yang aktif terhadap kanak-kanak.

Knorr, salah satu jenama makanan terkemuka di Malaysia dan selurus dunia, melancarkan daya usaha untuk menyediakan makanan yang sedap dan lagi berkhasiat buat golongan yang tiada tempat tinggal dan golongan miskin sepanjang bulan Ramadhan.

Kempen ini bertujuan membangkitkan semangat beramal jariah orang ramai sepanjang bulan suci ini. Inilah bulannya pemberian zakat – salah satu daripada lima rukun Islam – ditunaikan. Juga dengan usaha ini diharapkan orang ramai sentiasa prihatin kepada golongan kurang beruntung, bukan

sahaja pada waktu berbuka puasa malah sebagai amalan penyucian kerohanian dalam melayari liku-liku kehidupan.

Jenama ini memanfaatkan Facebook, rangkaian media sosial yang popular ini bukan sahaja untuk membantu menyebarkan kesedaran terhadap ribuan insan miskin dan tanpa tempat berteduh yang tinggal di sekitar Kuala Lumpur sahaja, bahkan juga untuk sama-sama ‘turun padang’ menghulurkan pertolongan kepada yang memerlukan.

Dengan menukar butang “perkongsian” kepada mata wang, Knorr, dengan gandingan kerjasama Pertiwi, mengikrarkan satu hidangan makanan bagi setiap perkongsian filem iklan Ramadhan baharu terbitan mereka. Lebih banyak perkongsian bermakna lebih banyak hidangan makanan yang berkhasiat dan enak dapat diberi kepada golongan susah.

Menurut seorang wakil Unilever, “Knorr mempunyai pernyataan misi untuk membekalkan makanan yang sedap dan berzat untuk seluruh warga Malaysia. Selaras dengan janji ini, kami meletakkan sasaran untuk mengagihagihkan makanan yang sedap dan berzat kepada sekurang-kurangnya 1,000 orang warga kota yang tinggal di lorong-lorong Kuala Lumpur dan bahagian tengah bandar.”

Kempen “Janji Ramadhan” Knorr dipaparkan dalam sebuah video yang menceritakan perihal seorang bapa berjanji akan pulang untuk bersama anak lelakinya yang berbuka puasa kali pertama. Waktu berbuka puasa lazimnya dihargai sebagai waktu tak ternilai untuk merapatkan hubungan sesama ahliahli keluarga dan juga untuk meraikan tamatnya sehari suntuk berpuasa, inilah juga masanya keluarga berkumpul untuk merasai nikmat hidangan makanan dan berkongsi limpahan juadah daripada bulan suci ini.

“Sesuai dengan semangat Ramadhan, pihak kami menggalakkan rakyat Malaysia untuk ‘beramal’ dengan cara berkongsi ‘berkat’ dengan mereka yang kurang beruntung. Cuma klik untuk memberi satu hidangan makanan bagi seorang insan. Lebih banyak perkongsian yang kami terima, lebih ramailah insan yang dapat kami agihkan makanan,’ wakil Unilever menambah kata.

Untuk memudahkan pengagihan makanan, Knorr bekerjasama dengan Pertiwi, sebuah NGO yang memberi perkhidmatan kemanusiaan berupa bantuan makanan kepada golongan tanpa rumah dan komuniti dhaif yang menghuni bahagian tengah bandar. Pertubuhan ini dari semasa ke semasa mengagihkan makanan siap bungkus serta air minuman bersih kepada pelbagai kelompok penerima dalam Lembah Klang.

Dengan pimpinan dan panduan pihak Pertiwi, Knorr bersama-sama warga kerja kanan Unilever Malaysia akan mengotakan janji dan berkongsi limpahan rahmat Ramadhan pada 31 Mei, 7 Jun, 14 Jun dan 19 Jun.

Preschoolers will set off on thrilling adventures in a kingdom far away where there lives a… Princess Knight! Nickelodeon’s brand-new animated preschool series, Nella the Princess Knight, follows Nella, an unconventional 8-year-old who possesses the royal qualities of a princess, like compassion and grace, while also embodying the courage and determination of a brave knight. Whenever a problem arises, Nella embarks on daring quests to save her kingdom through her unique ability to transform from a princess into Nella the Princess Knight. Nella the Princess Knight (40 half-hour episodes) features a social-emotional curriculum promoting self-confidence, inclusiveness and compassion for others. The series will premiere on the Nickelodeon channel on Monday, 29 May at

10am (MY), 9am (WIB) and 11.30am (PH); and on the Nick Jr. channel on Monday, 26 June at 9am (MY/WIB/PH).

Viewers can start visiting Nella the Princess Knight page on nickjr.tv to learn more about the show andits characters, and get a first look at the series.

She transcends traditional roles and expectations through her ability to change into Nella the Princess Knight, protecting her kingdom with the help of her friends: Trinket, Nella’s glamorous unicorn and best friend; Sir Garrett, a loyal and adventurous knight; and Clod, Garrett’s trusty steed. 

In the series premiere, “Sir Clod/Up All Knight,” Clod loses his invitation to the Royal Cafe Breakfast Buffet and must find it by lunchtime or everyone misses out. Under Nella’s leadership, they braveGotcha Falls, dodge through a field of poppleberries and traverse the bubbly Sudsycano in order to find it. Also in the episode, a luminous phoenix shines brightly across the kingdom causing Blaine and the rest of Castlehaven to lose sleep. After the phoenix is locked up in the knight brigade tower, Nella must use her knightly skills to free the bird and convince everyone to come together as a group to solve their problem.

Robert Vargas (head writer, Zack and Quack) serves as an executive producer on Nella the Princess

Knight and the series is created by Christine Ricci (curriculum advisor, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Dora the Explorer). It is the newest show to join Nick’s top-ranked preschool roster, airing alongside hit series like PAW Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machines and Shimmer and Shine.
