The “Wall’s Manifesto for a Happier World” has become the backbone for Wall’s Malaysia’s CSR pledge campaign which seeks to spread happiness and allow Malaysians to 'taste the joy'. 

Spreading The Manifesto Of Happiness

In conjunction with International Day of Happiness, Wall’s Malaysia is spreading happiness by distributing 50,000 sticks of ice cream to frontliners and underprivileged communities across Klang Valley. The distribution of Wall’s ice creams will be done from March - April 2021.

“Wall’s Malaysia has always played a part in making the world a happier and more inclusive place. We hope that our well-loved variants of ice creams can help put a smile on the faces of Malaysians, even through these challenging times.

"To kick off our happiness movement in 2021, we are spreading happiness by giving away free ice cream to the community.

"Through this simple gesture of distributing 50,000 ice creams, we want to show appreciation to our fellow frontliners for their continuous hard work, as well as help communities who have been severely underserved during these times.

"This includes children from orphanages and communities who rely on the goodwill of non-governmental organisations and food banks,” said Shiv Sahgal, Marketing Director of Foods & Refreshments category for Unilever Malaysia.

The initiative began in March 2021 with the distribution of ice cream to the underprivileged communities, done through non-governmental organisations, namely Pitstop Café, Kechara Soup Kitchen and PERTIWI. 

This was followed by the spreading of happiness at different hospital locations across Klang Valley as a token of heartfelt appreciation for their relentless efforts in helping Malaysians through the Covid-19 pandemic. The hospitals who were recipients of the ice creams include Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Putrajaya, Hospital Banting and many more.

“We are heartened to see how communities across the world are starting to gradually emerge from lockdowns and physical distancing, amidst regulations to ensure that proper guidelines and SOPs are followed.

"With this in mind, Wall’s Malaysia is committed to keeping our local community’s spirit alive, ensuring that all we learnt is not lost as we build back happier and stronger as a nation, one ice cream at a time,” concluded Shiv Sahgal.

Lebih mempersona, kesemua tetamu yang hadir juga tampil mengenakan pakaian daripada rona putih sebagaimana diwajibkan tuan rumah.

Turut hadir memeriahkan majlis ialah Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Hal Ehwal Agama), Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, selain barisan selebriti seperti Hanna Delisha, Scha AlYahya, Izara Aishah, Shalma Aina dan Datuk Rizalman Ibrahim.

Manakala pengacara popular Ahamd Fedtri pula bertindak sebagai pengacara majlis. 

Semoga perkahwinan ini kekal berbahagia sehingga ke syurga! Selamat pengantin baharu Haris dan Neelofa. 

MEMILIH mendirikan rumah tangga dan berkeluarga itu satu pilihan. Ia tidak seharusnya dipersiakan. Mencintai, menyayangi, dan mengasihi antara pasangan itu merupakan satu kemestian dalam memelihara hubungan bahagia seperti diinginkan. 

Jika kita ditanya soal hati dan perasaan, ramai yang mengambil berat soalnya dan tak lain dan tak bukan pasti mereka yang bergelar wanita.

Tidak bermaksud membandingkan antara keduanya siapa yang lebih menonjolkan perasaan tersebut. Tetapi realitinya semua perasaan itu kelihatan begitu ketara dalam diri seorang wanita.

Setiap wanita dikurniakan rahim daripada Allah S.W.T. Bukankah rahim itu bermaksud ‘sayang’? Justeru itulah wanita lebih menunjukkan belas, kasih dan sayangnya.

Wahai wanita, teruslah menyayangi, teruslah mencintai dan teruslah meluaskan rasa kasihmu. Kerana rasa kasih dan sayang itu adalah hadiah kurniaan Allah buat insan disekelilingmu.

Ada satu ketika pastinya seorang wanita itu akan terasa terbeban dengan kasih dan sayang kerana kasihnya tidak berbalas. Dan mungkin kasihnya dipersiakan oleh mereka yang tidak tahu menghargainya. Lalu bagaimana?

Kisah pengajaran isteri yang dipersiakan ini dibawakan Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) dalam telefilem berjudul Pertama dan Terakhir pada 26 Mac ini, jam 9.30 malam di TV2.

Plot cerita bermula dengan watak utama iaitu Murshid diminta oleh ibunya, Datin Rania untuk berkahwin dengan Annisa seperti yang telah diwasiatkan oleh arwah bapanya. Pada awalnya, Murshid menolak permintaan tersebut kerana dia sudah mempunyai teman wanita.

Namun, akhirnya dia akur dan memutuskan untuk berkahwin dengan Annisa tanpa pengetahuan teman wanitanya demi memenuhi wasiat arwah bapanya.

Sebagai isteri, Annisa menjalankan tanggungjawab dengan baik. Namun sebaliknya bagi Murshid. Saksikan kesudahan lakonan berkesan Ammar Bahrin, Izreen Azminda dan Amyra Rosli dalam Pertama dan Terakhir di TV2. 

 
ECM-W2BT, A7C and SEL1635GM

The ECM-W2BT wireless microphone also offers ultimate creative freedom thanks to its sound recording functions. Three sound pick up modes - MIC mode, MIX mode and a new RCVR mode - allows the user to record sound and ambient sound based on their desired preference.

MIC mode will only pickup audio from the microphone transmitter, so only the subject’s audio is captured. RCVR mode only picks up sound from the internal microphone at the receiver, so the user can record audio of themselves.

MIX mode picks up both transmitter and receiver audio which is useful when audio from both the subject and the user is desired.

The ECM-W2BT mic supports stereo audio input with an external 3.5mm stereo mini-jack to allow for stereo sound pickup, so it can be used in combination with the stereo-capable lavalier microphone such as the ECM-LV1 compact stereo lavalier microphone, as an unobtrusive microphone that can easily attach to the subject’s clothing and record sound with increased realism.

Since the receiver is equipped with 3.5mm audio output, the ECM-W2BT can also be used with camera models that are not equipped with a Multi Interface Shoe.

For challenging recording environments, the ECM-W2BT wireless microphone includes an attenuator function. The user can select one of three attenuator levels depending on the volume of the sound source to record excessively loud sounds at a lower volume or amplify quieter sounds to record louder audio.

The ECM-W2BT also includes a windscreen to reduce wind noise, which is especially helpful when recording outdoors. When longer operation is needed, the battery assist function via the power supply from the camera’s Multi Interface Shoe enables the user to operate the receiver for up to 9 hours.

For easy reference, the ECM-W2BT includes a LINK lamp to notify the user of the status of the communication between the microphone and the receiver and a POWER lamp to easily check the remaining battery charge.

A connector protect holder-cover for the Multi Interface foot of the receiver is provided, which can be used to carry the receiver and microphone as one unit. It also can be used as a microphone stand, for stable microphone positioning during interviews or other stationary uses.

ECM-W2BT and ECM-LV1

The ECM-LV1 compact stereo lavalier microphone also allows for high-quality sound pickup paired with a compact design for easy carrying and convenience while shooting.

The ECM-LV1 includes a windscreen for additional noise reduction, and the 360-degree rotatable clip allows, for example, horizontal attachment to a necktie, or vertical attachment to a pocket, with the microphone attached at the same angle. The power of this mic is supplied from the mic connector.

Pricing and Availability

The ECM-W2BT wireless microphone and the ECM-LV1 Compact Stereo Lavalier Microphone will be available in Malaysia from May 2021, at recommended selling price of RM929 and RM129.
