This year, OFFLINE 16 returns bigger and better, aiming to hit over 1,200 participants nationwide through a four-part event series. <\/em>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The first event, a pickleball challenge in Penang, attracted over 200 participants, while the second edition, Nature\u2019s Retreat at FRIM, Kepong, recorded 300 participants for a day of immersive activities focused on physical, mental, and environmental well-being.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>This wellness movement will build up to the flagship event at Tropicana Golf &amp; Country Resort this August, followed by a final rest-and-recharge resort retreat this October.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>First launched in 2024, OFFLINE 16  was a smashing success, garnering over 300 participants and championing both mental and physical wellness. Spearheaded by the Australian-owned supplement brand VitaHealth Malaysia (\u201cVitaHealth\u201d) and community builder and master planner Tropicana Corporation Berhad (\u201cTropicana\u201d or \u201cGroup\u201d), OFFLINE 16 encourages participants to disconnect from digital devices and reconnect with the world around them. Building on this momentum and in alignment with both companies\u2019 ESG commitments, this year\u2019s movement aims to engage over 1,200 participants nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike last year\u2019s record-breaking 16-hour single event, OFFLINE 16 has evolved into a series of themed gatherings, each one designed to be more accessible, while spotlighting different facets of mindfulness and wellness. The journey began with the Pickleball Challenge in Penang last month, followed by Nature\u2019s Retreat at FRIM, Kepong, just this past weekend. The movement will culminate in its largest edition yet at Tropicana Golf &amp; Country Resort (\u201cTGCR\u201d) this August, with a final rest-and-recharge resort retreat this October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the event, Dr KS Beh, Chief Executive Officer of VitaHealth (Malaysia &amp; Singapore) and founder of OFFLINE 16, shared, \u201cOur mission is to transform OFFLINE 16 into a widespread mental wellness movement, where everyone, young and old, can take meaningful breaks from the digital world, and embrace a healthier and happier lifestyle. Our first kick-off event at Penang attracted over 200 participants through a dynamic pickleball challenge. Today, our second edition, Nature\u2019s Retreat event at FRIM, welcomed an impressive 300 participants. This further reinforces that Malaysians are increasingly receptive to healthier, more engaging, and balanced ways of living. At VitaHealth, we live by our slogan \u2018<em>Healthy Life, Happy Vibes<\/em>\u2019, and we are committed to championing this movement for many years to come,\u201d Dr Beh added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serena Lim, Senior General Manager of Group Corp Comms &amp; ESG unit of Tropicana and Senior Committee Member of Tropicana Foundation, emphasised, \u201cAs a community builder, our ESG commitments centre on creating and nurturing liveable townships where residents can truly enjoy a work-live-learn-shop-play environment. OFFLINE 16 is more than just a digital detox\u2014 it\u2019s a platform that nurtures mental, physical, and environmental wellness. We are proud to continue this journey with VitaHealth, representing both Tropicana Corporation and our community-conscious arm, Tropicana Foundation. In line with our mantra <em>\u2018Redefining the Art of Living, Caring and Sharing\u2019<\/em>, we remain committed to growing this positive movement, and we warmly welcome more corporate partners to join us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also present at the event were Foo Hwei Jiek, Trading Director of Watsons Malaysia; Malaysia\u2019s very own Olympian and VitaHealth ambassador, Pearly Tan; Lui Hui Yin, Centre Manager and Counsellor of Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA); Choi Mann Yee, Clinical Psychologist of National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM); and Yoong Yi, Founder of Precious Plastic Malaysia.
