New Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate ‘to captivate Malaysian tastebuds'
'CADBURY is calling all fans to fall in love with chocolates all over again!' said Cadbury Malaysia today, as it unveiled a richer, creamier and more indulgent recipe for its classic Cadbury Dairy Milk, enhancing the signature taste that fans have loved for generations.
The upgrade also introduced a new King Size 200gm bar and a redesigned chunk shape across the entire range, 'delivering a more satisfying chocolate experience in every bite'.
'Crafted with love at the Shah Alam plant by over 250 chocolate-makers, Cadbury Dairy Milk embodies a commitment to quality and innovation,' the company stated yesterday, in front of selected local media representatives at the brand's only plant in Southeast Asia.
It added that the plant has been certified halal by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) since 1994 and adheres to the highest food safety and quality standards.
'Additionally, it embraces sustainable practices through recyclable packaging, renewable energy, and sustainable cocoa sourcing, supported by Mondelez International's global 'Cocoa Life' initiative.
Mondelez International (Malaysia & Singapore) marketing head See Mei Sin said: 'Cadbury Dairy Milk has enjoyed a long heritage and brand love in Malaysia for more than 75 years. It has become a huge part in the lives of Malaysians, helping them to share connection, celebrate milestones and create milestones to last. As we continue this journey, we've been listening closely to our consumers and evolving with them.
'Today, we are proud to build this continued connection with our fans with the launch of our new and more enriching Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolates that are richer and more chocolatey with every bite.'
'Not just a chocolate bar'
See stated that Cadbury's 'Glass and a Half' spirit is rooted in generosity and the belief in uplifting others in meaningful ways. 'This comes to life through initiatives that celebrate everyday kindness, such as 'For You I Would' and 'Cadbury Kuih Raya Dari Hati'. In partnership with MyKasih Foundation, 'Kuih Raya Dari Hati' is a bake-for-charity initiative that empowers women from underserved communities with a chance to showcase their skills, earn additional income and support other communities in need during the festive season.
'Since its launch in 2021, the programme has grown into a national movement that blends cultural celebration with social impact. In 2024, it was recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for the baking of 150,000 Cadbury chocolate tarts, donated to over 30 welfare homes and underserved communities through Food Aid Foundation. More than just a charitable initiative, it created real income opportunities ahead of the festive season while fostering a strong sense of community.'
The richer and more chocolatey Cadbury Dairy Milk, including the King Size 200gm bar is now available nationwide. 'With a renewed recipe and a heartfelt mission to spread joy, Cadbury invites Malaysians to fall in love with chocolate all over again,' said See.

Batik revival faces identity and style challenge
KUALA LUMPUR - Since the mandatory implementation of batik attire among civil servants in 2023, this textile craft has experienced a resurgence, capturing the interest of various generations. Despite this growing popularity aligning with the government's aspiration to preserve and strengthen batik as part of the nation's cultural heritage, in reality, local support for Malaysian batik remains inconsistent and not yet deeply rooted in society. The mandatory implementation of batik attire for civil servants since 2023 has sparked a resurgence of interest in this traditional textile, aiming to preserve and strengthen Malaysian cultural heritage. - Bernama file photo Nearly three years into its weekly adoption by civil servants every Thursday-a practice that has since garnered interest from other sectors as well-Universiti Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman fashion lecturer Shabri Saad said that consumers still tend to favour batik from neighbouring countries over locally made ones. "Batik isn't just a pattern. It's an art form-wearable artwork. I appreciate all types of batik, whether from Malaysia, Indonesia, India, China or Cambodia. But as Malaysians, we must uphold the art that originates from our own land. "If we don't support local batik artisans, I fear one day this craft will only exist in museums,' he said, adding that the preference for foreign batik is likely due to a lack of awareness and confusion surrounding the techniques, motifs, and true cultural value of batik. With more than two decades of experience in the batik world, Shabri noted that Malaysian batik-be it from Kelantan, Terengganu, Kedah, or Melaka-each carries a distinct beauty that must be preserved. For this reason, he believes that revitalising support for local batik cannot rest solely on government efforts, including initiatives by the Malaysian Handicraft Development Corporation (Kraftangan Malaysia). Instead, it must involve collaboration with all stakeholders, including NGOs, artists, and consumers. In this context, the Master of Design Technology holder highlighted the need for local batik to evolve, particularly in terms of design-moving away from overly dense and multicoloured motifs-as today's generation tends to prefer simpler, modern, and contemporary styles. "Young people want batik that's stylish, not something that looks like it's for uncles. A good batik design is one that makes the wearer look fresh and fashionable, without compromising on its cultural essence,' he said. He also recommended exploring more sophisticated colours that align with global fashion trends, such as toned-down hues, earthy tones, or pastels, which could help elevate Malaysian batik onto the global stage. Touching on pricing, Shabri noted that printed batik should not be completely dismissed, as it can serve as an entry point for the public to appreciate local batik designs and identity, especially considering its affordability compared to hand-drawn batik. "If we reject everything that's cheap, eventually even authentic batik will lose demand. With better understanding, appreciation for real batik will naturally grow,' he added. Meanwhile, 37-year-old civil servant Debby Lucas believes batik is more than just a meaningful cultural heritage-it is also a product of craftsmanship that requires patience, precision, and high creativity. "Each motif tells a story about nature, life, and community identity. In the past, batik was only worn to formal events, but now it's a modern fashion item suitable for the office or as a statement piece on the international stage,' she said, commending batik fashion designers who cater to young people's tastes. Faizah Ibrahim, 28, said price is not a major deterrent as there are still affordable batik options that match her personal style, including pieces she purchased from the Malaysian Prisons Department gallery. "I like batik made with dyeing techniques because it's comfortable, unique, and special-the patterns are one-of-a-kind. I also prefer tailoring my clothes over fast fashion because it looks neater, lasts longer, and is eco-friendly,' she said. - BERNAMA

Public Shows Strong Support For ‘Jom Beli Lokal' Campaign At KPDN Carnival
GENERAL By Mohamad Syazwan Mustafa ISKANDAR PUTERI, June 28 (Bernama) -- The Buy Malaysian Goods Campaign (KBBM) 2025 themed 'Jom Beli Lokal' has received a positive response from traders and visitors at the Southern Zone Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) Carnival Tour held here. A Bernama check found that most visitors and entrepreneurs welcomed the initiative, viewing it as a timely move to strengthen demand for local products and benefit micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Café owner Roslinda Basir, 51, said the campaign has opened more opportunities for small-scale entrepreneurs to promote their products directly to consumers. 'At this carnival, I'm selling nasi ambang with a variety of homemade side dishes and sambal. The response over the past two days has been very encouraging. 'With continued support from the government, more Malaysians will get to know and have confidence in products made by local entrepreneurs,' she told Bernama at her booth today. Kuih keria seller Mohamad Riduan Sukiman, 41, also welcomed the campaign, describing it as part of the government's ongoing efforts to empower local industries. 'I hope efforts like this can be extended to rural areas too, because our local products are high quality. We just need to maintain momentum and ensure continuity to reach wider markets,' he said. Visitor Noraini Md Yusof, 32, described the campaign as a timely move to help stimulate the economy of the people in the post-pandemic period.

Five Malaysians have chosen to remain in Iran, says Foreign Minister
REMBAU: Five Malaysians, comprising four students and a businessman, have opted to stay in Iran despite Wisma Putra's advice to leave the country, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The Foreign Minister said they had each signed a letter of undertaking to remain in Iran despite the government's earlier call for all Malaysians to leave the country amid escalating conflict. "The evacuation process for Malaysians in Iran has been completed, with all returned home on June 21. I have ordered all Malaysians in Iran – most of whom are in Tehran – to return. However, four students are still staying there, namely three in Qom and one in Esfahan, while the other is a businessman. "They have signed a letter of undertaking and expressed their gratitude to the Malaysian government and Wisma Putra, stating that they have chosen to stay (in Iran)...there are not many Malaysians in Iran," he told reporters after officiating the 52nd General Meeting of the Kaum Ibu Penajes Cooperative here on Saturday (June 28). It was previously reported that 24 individuals, including Malaysians, who were in Iran, had safely arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH781. The group comprised 17 Malaysians, six Iranian dependents of Malaysian citizens and one Singaporean national. Meanwhile, Mohamad said Malaysia would forge collaboration with Indonesia to explore economic development in the maritime border area between Malaysia and Indonesia in Ambalat. He said that although the area involved was still under negotiation between the two countries, Malaysia did not want this resource-rich region to become a liability or be neglected. "Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto came close to reaching an agreement. The technical committee is now tasked with promptly identifying ways to finalise the deal so both countries can benefit from the natural resources there. "The form of cooperation to be undertaken may be in the form of joint development, similar to that in the Gulf of Siam, Thailand. Although it is an overlapping area, we share common interests in developing the region," he said. On Friday (June 27), Anwar and Prabowo expressed the strong commitment of both countries to accelerate strategic cooperation in various fields, including joint development in the maritime border area of Malaysia and Indonesia in Ambalat in a peaceful and mutually beneficial manner. – Bernama
