KAMI Japanese Body Therapy is Seeking Devoted People to Join Our Team
KAMI, a traditional Japanese body therapy specialist store with over a decade of experience, is expanding its presence in Malaysia and seeking to diversify its clientele. While most of its customers are Japanese, the organization is determined to attract a more diverse customer base. To achieve this, they are recruiting full-time Social and Marketing Specialists proficient in English, Chinese, and Malay.
These specialists will use social media platforms like Instagram and 小红书 to increase brand awareness and attract new customers. They will also be able to learn and promote Japanese-style body therapy while providing exceptional customer service. This includes understanding and explaining the therapy to customers, implementing marketing strategies, maintaining a clean workspace, and managing customer feedback and appointments.
KAMI is looking for candidates who are passionate about Japanese-style body therapy and have a friendly and sociable personality. Proficiency in English and Chinese (Mandarin) is essential, and basic computer skills are required. The organization values motivation, creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn. Knowledge of the Japanese language and culture is a significant plus.
The salary for this position ranges from RM 3000 to RM 3500, with potential increases based on experience and Japanese language proficiency.

With over 10 years of experience, we have provided top-level “seitai” to over 500,000 customers in Japan. We have opened “KAMI,” a KLCC store, and a Bangsar store in Malaysia. However, our actual condition and challenge are that there are only a few local customers, and the majority of the customers are Japanese.
Our organisation is looking to diversify our staff members and introduce our specialty to people from other cultural backgrounds. Concurrently, we are also committed to promoting localization by recruiting local staff, who will play a pivotal role in the management and growth of KAMI. Furthermore, expanding our exposure is of great importance, given that all of our existing promotional materials on social media platforms are presently exclusively in Japanese.

After joining, you will receive our body therapy techniques and learn basic treatment methods.
Workers who join us will have the opportunity to understand and explain accurate information about Japanese-style body therapy to customers, allowing them to provide a seamless and informative experience. Additionally, they will receive training in Japanese hospitality so that every customer encounter is one of genuine warmth and courtesy.

Proficiency in both written and spoken English and Chinese (Mandarin) is required, as effective communication is essential in our customer-oriented environment. You should also be willing to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate our customers’ needs.
A friendly and sociable personality is highly valued, as is a strong sense of motivation, creativity, and a hunger for growth. We encourage a willingness to learn with a student mentality, as well as adaptability and the ability to step out of your comfort zone.
Moreover, if you are passionate about learning the Japanese language and culture, it would be a significant asset, as it aligns with our commitment to providing an authentic Japanese-style experience to our customers.
Salary Range

ChatGPT can now search for data on the internet
The generative AI platform ChatGPT can now fetch data directly from the internet and gather up-to-date information in real-time, its creator OpenAI said Wednesday, in a major milestone for the software.
Until now, ChatGPT’s responses to user queries were based on a vast database, which did not contain information from after August 2021.
“ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources,” OpenAI said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “It is no longer limited to data before September 2021.”
It also said that the latest feature would allow sites to control how ChatGPT interacts with them.
OpenAI launched the update for its paying subscribers in June, but suspended it after users managed to bypass paywalls on internet content.
The feature, dubbed “Browse with Bing”, is also reserved for paying subscribers of ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise services, but OpenAI said it would soon be available to all users.
OpenAI partner Microsoft already offers Bing Chat, an integration of GPT-4, the language model used to develop ChatGPT, with its internet search engine, as does Google with its conversational robot Bard.
ChatGPT will provide direct sources alongside its responses, which will no longer be based on the single database the program’s publisher controls.

35 years of transformation with Aboitiz Foundation
Today marks the 35th anniversary of Aboitiz Foundation’s work in co-creating resilient, empowered, and sustainable communities. In the Aboitiz Group’s journey to become the Philippines’ first techglomerate, Aboitiz Foundation represents what lies at the heart of this Great Transformation: People. The Foundation optimizes the synergies of Aboitiz business units and its partners nationwide to create more value for its beneficiaries, its communities, and the environment.
The Group’s commitment to corporate citizenship traces back to over a century ago when its founder, Don Ramon Aboitiz, began his corporate philanthropy efforts to better the welfare of his employees. Founded in 1988, Aboitiz Foundation has evolved beyond traditional charity, harnessing innovation to drive change and shape the future of underserved communities. With investments totaling more than PHP5 billion, Aboitiz Foundation has partnered with some 600,000 individuals and institutional partners and implemented over 5,000 corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects.
FUTURE LEADERS
Over the years, Aboitiz Foundation has provided resources, facilities, and scholarships to Filipino students and young professionals, especially those in remote areas who have less access. The Foundation made a US$10 million donation to the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) for the Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology & Entrepreneurship (ASITE) to help address the demand for talent in data science in the country through world-class teaching and research. The Foundation is also onboarding partners to scale Aurora PH, a project that aims to provide access to electricity, internet connectivity, and digital tools to accelerate the learning of students in last-mile schools. Focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and entrepreneurial fields, the Foundation’s aims aim to empower the nation’s future leaders with opportunities to drive change for the generations to come.
ENTERPRISE & JOBS
In an ever-changing economic landscape, Aboitiz Foundation adopts an agile approach in its development programs. It finds ways to leverage technology to upskill Filipinos so they can excel in the digital economy. In 2022, over 6,000 beneficiaries, including MSMEs and cooperatives, received support and training through the foundation’s programs. Byaheng Digiskarte equips MSMEs and micro-entrepreneurs with the digital tools and skills they need to successfully grow their businesses. Similarly, the Elevate AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Annotation) program provides data annotation and other technical training for homemakers and mothers that will enable them to earn a living while taking care of their families. With these new capabilities, more and more Filipinos can shape the future for themselves and their communities.
CLIMATE ACTION
Since its inception, Aboitiz Foundation has been committed to protect the environment. The Foundation has invested in sites such as the Aboitiz Cleanergy Park, which serves as a sanctuary for endangered wildlife, built entirely of recycled materials. Last year, Cleanergy Park released some 8,000 hawksbill turtle hatchlings and planted more than 19,000 mangroves. A-Park is another nationwide project towards reforestation and nature-based carbon capture solutions. The Foundation also works with various government, academic, and non-profit partners to implement systems that will develop more climate-resilient, climate-smart communities.
This journey over the years has been guided by an emphasis on the “S” in ESG, in which Aboitiz Foundation takes a people-centric approach and pairs with technology-driven solutions to drive positive change. As Aboitiz Foundation forges ahead, it carries a renewed commitment to expand flagship programs, foster global collaborations, and harness innovation to continue transforming — all in its unwavering mission to shape a brighter future for its communities, and for the nation.
