Today, we further recognize our Deaf partners (employees), who are also all certified Coffee Masters, with the progress they have achieved in completing their Advanced Coffee Master program. Our deaf partners have come so far in achieving this certification through hard work and determination,” said Rina Siew, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager for Starbucks Malaysia and Brunei.

SHOPEE SAHUT SERUAN UNTUK KURANGKAN KOS SARA HIDUP DENGAN 9.9 SUPER SHOPPING DAY

Matlamatnya adalah untuk menggalakkan dan mengukuhkan penggunaan e-dagang lantas mengenepikan peranan orang tengah dalam usaha mengurangkan kos barangan pengguna.
Untuk mencapai matlamat ini, pihak kerajaan telah bekerjasama rapat dengan Shopee, platform e-dagang yang terkemuka di Asia Tenggara dan Taiwan, dalam usaha mencari cara untuk mengurangkan kos sara hidup bagi rakyat Malaysia. Salah satu daripada usaha Shopee untuk berganding bahu dengan para peniaga runcit Malaysia adalah mengurangkan sekatan terhadap penglibatan umum dalam ekonomi digital. Tambahan lagi, kos mengendalikan perniagaan di dalam talian jauh lebih rendah. Dengan ini, Shopee menggalakkan para peniaga runcit untuk berkongsi penjimatan kos dengan pembeli, lantas menjadikan beli-belah dalam talian lebih termampu bagi pengguna. Hasilnya, pengguna dapat melihat purata penjimatan sebanyak 20% untuk barangan keperluan harian apabila mereka membeli-belah di Shopee pada hari biasa, dengan potensi penjimatan sehingga 90% semasa kempen membeli-belah utama seperti 9.9 Super Shopping Day.
Akan berlangsung dari 19 Ogos hingga 9 September 2019, kempen ini membawakan tawaran dan diskaun hebat meliputi pelbagai kategori daripada jenama seperti Nutox, HP, L’Oréal, Vinda, Photobook Malaysia, Enfagrow, Universal Traveller, realme, Mr DIY dan Nestle.

Kami sentiasa berbesar hati untuk bekerjasama dan menyokong pergerakan industri dan mempercayai bahawa inisiatif terbaru ini akan memberi inspirasi kepada usaha keusahawanan digital.”
