Join us on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, at 3 PM (+8 GMT) for our BizTalks webinar with Sunway Medical Centre on the topic All About Cancer.

It will be an in-depth discussion on the topic of cancer. Based on 2021 WHO statistics, an estimated 400 000 children and adolescents of 0-19 years old develop cancer. In high-income countries, where comprehensive services are generally accessible, more than 80% of children with cancer are cured. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), less than 30% are cured. Lack of diagnosis, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, abandonment of treatment are the common causes that can impact the treatment outcome of childhood cancers.

The webinar aims to provide a general understanding of childhood cancers and a glimpse of adult cancers to better equip parents and the larger community in combating cancers. Cancer is not the end, with the right diagnosis, customized treatment and proper follow-up care, cancers can be beaten.

On behalf of the EU-ASEAN Business Council, EUROCHAM Malaysia as a supporting partner would like to invite our members to participate in the upcoming webinar regarding Legislating Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in ASEAN: A Need? happening on Tuesday, 1 March 2022 at 4 PM (SGT).

It is not a surprise that plastic pollution is a major problem in Southeast Asia – in 2021, more than 30 million tonnes of plastic waste was generated in just six ASEAN countries, packing landfills and choking water bodies that surround and meander through the region. The threats to human life and nature have been made clear, and with ASEAN’s population and economies booming, it is now more urgent than ever to tackle the issue. One clear way is through moves on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

This webinar will discuss how stakeholders in both the public and private sectors can encourage and accelerate the adoption of EPR legislation in ASEAN countries, the challenges in doing so, particularly for MSMEs and private sector players, and how we can get the buy-in of all stakeholders along the chain, from manufacturers, to waste facilities, and consumers.

Penang is now gearing up for the state development vision of Penang2030 as a family-focused green and smart state to inspire the nation. In this vision, there are four (4) main themes, with the fourth theme of investing in a public infrastructure environment vital in the development of a holistic transport network.
