Watsons Malaysia launches exclusive club to promote healthy ageing
With Malaysia officially classified as an ageing nation, the number of citizens aged 60 and above is expected to reach 15.3% by 2030.
Data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) projects that the percentage of Malaysians aged 65 and above will increase from 8.1% in 2024 to 14.5% by 2040.
Recognising this demographic shift, Watsons Malaysia aims to provide accessible wellness resources and preventive healthcare solutions tailored to the needs of mature adults.
'Turning 45 and beyond is not about slowing down, it's about embracing a new, empowered chapter of life,' said Caryn Loh, Managing Director of Watsons Malaysia and COO of Health & Beauty Asia, AS Watson Group.
'At this stage, health and self-care become even more important, and Watsons is proud to support our customers through the Watsons 45+ Members Club.
'Staying physically active, engaging in mental challenges, fostering social connections, and maintaining emotional well-being are all key to a fulfilling life.
'This club is our way of saying, 'You deserve to stay fit, fabulous & thriving every day,' she added.
The Watsons 45+ Members Club offers a range of benefits designed to support members on their wellness journey.
Customers will automatically be upgraded to the Watsons 45+ Member Club upon reaching their 45th birthday.
Members will receive a welcome pack containing discount vouchers worth RM130, a 5% discount on select vitamins and supplements, and two complementary health checks each year to monitor their well-being.
Danny Hoh, Chief Operating Officer of Watsons Malaysia, highlighted additional perks available to members, including monthly health promotions via the Watsons Community on WhatsApp, an exclusive e-stamp programme offering premium gift redemptions, and special partner deals tailored to the needs of the 45+ community.
Members will also be invited to wellness workshops and events throughout the year.
To commemorate the launch, Watsons Malaysia hosted a Pickleball session—an increasingly popular sport among active adults—allowing members to stay physically engaged and connect with fellow participants.
Guests were also treated to free health screenings, including cholesterol and glucose checks, as well as expert advice on navigating life's transitions with confidence.
This latest initiative aligns with Watsons Malaysia's long-standing mission to serve as a trusted health and beauty destination for all Malaysians.
By offering holistic support across skincare, nutrition, mental wellness, and physical activity, the Watsons 45+ Members Club provides a comprehensive platform encouraging members to embrace ageing vibrantly and confidently.
Malaysians aged 45 and above can join the club at any Watsons store or online at www.watsons.com.my.

Channel excess Sara funds to education and health sectors now, says Dr Wee
MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has reiterated his call for the government to channel extra funds from Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) to the education and health sectors. The MCA president noted that there are those who will need funds for surgery or to enter a public university. "Those waiting 21 months for surgery still have to wait another five months just to reach the end of this year? "Students waiting for scholarships to enter public university (offer via open channels not UPU) or matriculation have to wait until next year to apply again?" "Why keep the patients and students waiting?" he asked in a Facebook post on Wednesday (July 23). He was referring to the RM100 Sara cash aid that was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for Malaysians aged 18 and above earlier on Wednesday. Dr Wee had earlier said those who do not need the RM100 should be able to opt out. He proposed redirecting the money to critical sectors like supporting public hospitals and awarding scholarships to deserving students, instead of using it for what he described as populist measures. "Rather than spending public money on populist measures that may benefit those who don't really need it, wouldn't it be better to support those who genuinely do, while also upgrading our healthcare and education systems?" he said. Dr Wee had also questioned how the government would utilise unclaimed money returned at the end of the year.

He said the ministry is committed to resolving the filling of 4,352 positions to meet the healthcare needs of the people, as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today. 'We are aware that the shortage of personnel is a real issue and must be addressed. I am personally committed to expediting the appointment process for those currently on contract to be absorbed into permanent positions without having to wait by cohort. 'We are identifying ways to reduce this deficit or close the gap, and to implement redistribution or resolve the long-standing issue of maldistribution. I have inherited this situation, but I am determined to address it within a reasonable timeframe,' he said. He was speaking to reporters after attending the Community Engagement Day event at the National Information Dissemination Centre in Kampung Langkuas, Kinarut, near here today.

However, Dzulkefly clarified that the responsibility for position appointments does not lie with the ministry, but rather under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Department (JPA) and Public Services Commission (SPA), though he is confident these agencies are committed to fulfilling the staffing needs of the health sector. He added that the MOH is also striving to boost the morale of healthcare staff by maintaining the 42-hour work week for nurses, housemen (PPS), and medical officers (MOs). * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
