VISIONARY MALAYSIACutting-Edge Products & Solutions for the Global Market

Message From CEo2 Issue 16 (2/2014)www.whatsnew.my

Welcome to the latest edition of Whats New From Malaysia! Following Malaysias steady trajectory towards economic growth and continued efforts at achieving innovation, we are proud to showcase a brand new collection of products that cater to the needs of consumers from the industries to an individual.

One of our star highlights in this issue is the FOBO Tire, an ingenious and intelligent car tyre monitoring system that remotely tracks the temperature and pressure of your car tyres. It alerts you well in advance of any issues that may arise, thus providing the much-needed foresight when it comes to maintenance.

I personally call your attention to the HiJRAH Water Filtration Systems, which utilises the natural hydroxyapatite (HAp) compound extracted from the scales of the Tilapia fish, found abundantly in Asian waters. Most water filters on the market today contain carbon-based filters that may consist of bovine or porcine bone marrow extracts elements that are impure to Muslims. Additionally, such filters may also pose health risks due to infectious animal diseases such as Mad Cow Disease or Foot and Mouth Disease. Not only are the fish scales Halal, but also perform better than HAp-based animal bones and sea shells in terms of its solubility.

Other note-worthy products include specialised diabetic shoes; the Qalamiy writing aid for children, stroke patients, or persons with special needs; Malaysias very own affordable, but quality comprehensive Antivirus & Internet Security for 2015; and the worlds smallest High-Definition surveillance camera.

As you will see in the following pages, there are a lot more new and interesting products from Malaysia that we are proud to share with the world.

So, settle down with a nice cup of coffee and enjoy what Malaysia has to offer!

Hydrocarbon production is getting more challenging, with sources of crude oil and gas containing higher levels of con-taminants such as mercury, naphthenic acid and sulphur.

To address this, Petroliam nasional berhad (PETronaS) invests considerable r&d efforts in contaminants removal Technology.

one groundbreaking innovation, the Hy-caPureTM Hg, was developed by PETronaS in collaboration with Queens University of belfast and Universiti Teknologi PETro-naS. The proprietary ionic liquid mercury removal technology efficiently removes the full range of mercury species in elemental, inorganic and organic forms which are present in natural gas and its condensate.

HycaPureTM Hg has been successfully deployed in plants of PETronaS Gas ber-had, and PETronaS is currently finalising a licence with a global chemical company to bring HycaPureTM Hg to world markets.

With the lacklustre per-formance of the worlds economy these days, there is little wonder why the rate of crime increases accordingly. it is thus critical for everyone whether the individual, the family, or the business, never to take his or her safety and security for granted.

When it comes to safety, surveillance should be of paramount consideration in your suite of security strategies, and often-times, you may not wish for your intention to survey your premises to be clear as day.

this is especially apparent when it comes to inviting strangers into your house and who are in charge of duties such as infant or elderly care far too many cases of abuse by household helps have occurred, so placing the interests of your loved ones remains a priority for the very busy adult.

Aside from the household, there are also places of business that deal with the move-ment of goods and money, and company losses may be mitigated by the installation of inconspicuous surveillance equipment to catch thieves in the act.

With these challenges in mind, Global top technologies has developed arguably the smallest high Definition surveillance

camera in the market right now the GtC-182. it comes packed with features that aim to work hard for you for your peace of mind. Dome-shaped for excellent line of vision, the GtC-182 is a palm-sized, 2 Megapixel hD security camera that melds inconspicuously into the surroundings. You can pan, tilt, and zoom when scanning, while its in-built motion tracking ability locks on moving objects during scans.

the 2 Megapixel hD camera comes with an infrared day/night capability for better image capturing as well as an in-built microphone for audio monitoring. Storage and playback of recordings is a breeze with the attached micro SD card slot, with a LAN (Local Area Network) storage alternative.

if thats not enough, there is also the option for users to access the GtC-182 through their mobile devices as well as internet browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera, and receive an email notification upon detection of movement.

hANDWRITING is a necessary skill that allows individuals to express their thoughts, feelings and communicate with others. the effectiveness of handwriting requires mastery of a variety of skills, including vi-sion, eye coordination, arm, hand, memory, position, and control of the body.

A basic tool used by many in their daily lives, penmanship is necessary to convey andreceiveinformation.Poorpenmanshipcan directly affect the individual negatively, as example, the academic performance of students who cannot write properly may lead to lost learning opportunities and psychological problems such as low self-esteem and defeatism.

A frequent problem in early childhood is the inability of the child to learn how to grip and use a pencil properly, and this often resultsinthecompensatorypencilgrasp,a form of comforting grasp that persists throughout childhood into adulthood. Ad-ditionally, special needs children or persons who have had a stroke may find that weaker muscular tonality or faulty fine motor skills may get in the way of properly holding a

writing instrument and may get frustrated with their inability to write properly.

to improve their products. One of this products is the unique water

filtration system that is free of animal products of bones. HWSB has partnered with Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) to develop a water filtration system, a product that has been commercially available since April 2014, that utilises the natural hydroxyapatite (HAp) compound extracted from the scales of the Tilapia fish that are found abundantly in Asian waters.

This innovative development sees the use of HAp from the scales of the Tilapia fish as an alternative material to other commercial calcium filters that contain animal bone extracts.

Not only are the fish scales Halal (as they

This fact alone may render some forms of treated water impure to Muslims, but additionally, may also pose health risks due to infectious animal diseases such as Mad Cow Disease or Foot and Mouth Disease.

Due to this, research has been focussed on the use of aquatic-based Hydroxyapatite (HAp) filtration materials instead as a part of the filtration process for piped water. Hijrah Water Sdn Bhd (HWSB) is a Malay-sian company that is actively involved in research and development efforts in order

THe humble mineral magnesium is very often overlooked as an essential nutrient. An essential element for the body, it is critical to the healthy functioning of various daily bodily systems, in addition to being necessary for good bone health and lowering the risk of calcification in the body.

However, magnesium is not naturally manufactured by the body. This means that we have to obtain it elsewhere, primarily through food. Unfortunately, with our hectic schedules and lifestyles, we often do not eat right enough to nourish our body.

In addition to imbalanced diets, the environment we are constantly in often upsets the balance of our body. Stresses, pollution, chemicals, and calcium-fortified consumables may accelerate the loss of magnesium or upset the magnesium-calcium balance in our body.

Subsequently, this may lead to health problems and contribute to the prevalence of many modern non-communicable diseases. To augment this, the additional

Virgin Magnesium Oil for Health and Wellbeing

intake of magnesium may boost the strength of each white blood cell, lower high blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, preventing stroke and obesity and plenty more!

Improper diets require supplementation by alternative routes of magnesium absorption such as ingesting magnesium pills through the gastro-intestinal tract, but the problem with the oral route is that it may upset the gastro-intestinal tract and induce a laxative effect in the individual.

This problem can be solved by using a transdermal approach to the absorption of magnesium oil from the Zechstein Sea, in the form of Virgin Magnesium Oil by eLeMeNTZ.

Simply put, magnesium is necessary for creating and maintaining overall health, and using Virgin Magnesium Oil is the best and most effective way to get your daily source of magnesium.
