When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Shahelmey also said the council invited all industry players to work closely with it to raise any issues or concerns directly for speedy resolution.

“As the main logistics and transportation platform for all stakeholders, the council will aggressively play its role (to improve) the sector,” he added.

Strong concerns have arisen among stakeholders and leaders alike over the imminent imposition of congestion surcharges set to take effect Tuesday.

They feared that the proposed surcharges of RM500 for a 20ft (6m) container and RM1,000 for a 40ft (12m) container would burden those dependent on the business and that these costs would ultimately be passed on to consumers, increasing inflationary pressures.k
