Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, is encouraging Lalamove users in Asia and Latin America to ‘Make a Pawfect Move’, by spreading the love for animals in need. In Malaysia, Lalamove partners with My Pets Haven, an animal shelter that rescues, rehabilitates, and finds new homes for stray dogs, granting them a renewed chance for a better life.
Through the “Make a Pawfect Move” campaign, an extension of Lalamove’s Deliver Care initiative, the company aims to better the lives of abandoned animals at MyPetsHaven with donations, while also helping to support their shelter ‘paw-rents’ who pour their heart into keeping the group running. As My Pets Haven faced the daunting challenge of an eviction, they found themselves in dire need of both financial contributions and assistance from the public. 
These crucial resources are vital for realizing their dream of establishing a new shelter that will serve as a secure and loving haven for countless animals in need.
Users can send their love to furry friends in need by registering as members of Lalamove Rewards and accumulating LalaPoints with every completed order. With a minimum of 750 LalaPoints, RM3 will be donated to MyPetsHaven, helping the pets to live more nourishing lives. Every cent will be contributed to their daily meals, shelter renovations, daily essentials and medications.
To further strengthen the support for My Pets Haven, Lalamove is also proud to announce an exclusive 30% discount on its delivery services, providing an efficient and cost-effective means for individuals to transport their donations. Whether it’s nourishing kibbles, essential cages, or carriers, these items are all crucial to enhancing the well-being of the cherished pets residing at My Pets Haven.
Lalamove has also extended a warm invitation to its valued business users to join in this noble cause. Prominent online pet food businesses, such as Furry Times, have already stepped up, generously donating an array of handcrafted treats, while Boksicle has contributed a generous supply of pet popsicles, ensuring the dogs at My Pets Haven have the chance to enjoy some delightful treats.

“In Malaysia, there are more surrendered and abandoned animals than adoptions. Thousands of stray dogs live in the open without receiving proper homes and safety. Therefore, we believe that animal rescue groups shouldn’t be the sole caretakers of strays. We should collaborate with stray animal feeders and rescuers to support those pets who might need help.
“We aim to play our part by providing support to pet shelters like My Pets Haven to sustain their operations and ensure the well-being and safety of their beloved dogs. As Lalamove is synonymous with delivering daily essentials, we also encourage our users to leverage our services to extend a helping hand, whether by donating or delivering pet essentials to the shelters.”
“This initiative also opens up a world of possibilities for many dogs at My Pets Haven to find their forever homes and lifelong companions,” said Jane Teh, Managing Director of Lalamove Malaysia.
Aileen Lee Sor Geok, the founder at MyPetsHaven also remarked, “We are thankful and excited to partner with Lalamove for this donation campaign. With Lalamove’s support, we will be more equipped with essential resources and supplies to improve the living conditions and medical needs of our rescued pets, allowing them to receive utmost care while they await adoption.”

Joining hands with pet lovers, Lalamove encourages everyone to join the cause and spread the word to paws-itively donate their Lalapoints to create a tail-wagging, paw-fect world for furry companions.

BUDGET 2024: TROOPERS Applauds the 2024 National Budget for Empowering the Nation’s Workforce
Troopers Innovation Sdn. Bhd. applauds Malaysia’s 2024 National Budget, which focuses on economic reform and people empowerment. They are committed to matching talent with industry needs and empowering gig workers through a transparent feedback system. The company supports the government’s programs like the PERKESO Career Building Programme and HRD Corp’s allocation of RM1.6 billion for training opportunities, especially benefiting SMEs and vulnerable groups. Troopers believes in the potential of every individual and endorses the government’s commitment to upskilling Malaysians for a more empowered society. They see the budget as aligning with their mission of connecting talent with organizations.
By Joshua Tan, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder for Troopers Innovation Sdn. Bhd.
Troopers Innovation Sdn Bhd wholeheartedly welcomes the 2024 National Budget presented by the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Malaysia Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and commends the government’s strategic approach towards Malaysia MADANI with the theme “Budget 2024: Economic Reform, Empowering the People”.
At TROOPERS, we are dedicated to ensuring that talent matches organizational needs, and the commitment to refine local talent development to align with industry requirements is a significant stride toward a brighter economic future for Malaysia. As a testament to this commitment, TROOPERS innovate new ways to facilitate gig workers by matching their skills to the gig via ratings and feedback system. Our holistic ecosystem not only allows real-time tracking of gig workers’ progress but also showcases their evolving track record and build their microcredentials in our app as they complete gig task. This embodiment of transparency and progress underscores our core mission to empower both job seekers and hiring managers by ensuring a seamless and mutually beneficial partnership.
Keeping to the momentum set in prior years, the government will continue with the PERKESO Career Building Programme, allocating RM35 million to empower 9,000 gig workers through skill training. This allocation will undoubtedly uplift the gig economy to new heights, and is aligned with our work with TROOPERS Academy which offers essential soft skills training to nurture the growth of our gig workers. At TROOPERS, we strongly believe that continuous upskilling will create opportunities to raise the floor and ceiling of gig worker wages, ensuring a better standard of living which is why TROOPERS will continue to support them in achieving fair wages and improve the household economy of Malaysians at large.
Moreover, the allocation of RM1.6 billion by the Human Resource Development Corp (HRD Corp) for 1.7 million training opportunities signifies a significant investment in upskilling and re-skilling. The reallocation of special funds, utilizing 15% of total levy collections to support the MADANI Training Program, addresses the needs of SME entrepreneurs and vulnerable groups such as former prisoners, Persons with Disabilities (PwD), senior citizens, and retirees. This move reflects the government’s investment in shaping the future of our workforce, resonating with our commitment at TROOPERS to bridge the gap between talent and organizational needs through collaborative training and upskilling programmes while encouraging prioritization of hiring local talent in the gig workforce to improve socio-economic growth.
At TROOPERS, we firmly believe in the potential of every individual to elevate their socio-economic status through tailored programs and training. We wholeheartedly endorse the government’s commitment to emphasize the importance of re-skilling and upskilling Malaysians, laying the foundation for a more empowered society. We believe in the collective potential of Malaysians and if we work together, we can elevate Malaysian talents in all sectors through proper training and upskilling to ensure they are remunerated fairly, and enterprises get the value they pay for.
As an organization deeply committed to meeting the ever-growing talent demands of our partners, we firmly believe that the proposed Budget will be a game-changer, aligning seamlessly with Malaysia MADANI values and embodying our mission to connect talents with the needs of organizations.
Founded by co-founders Joshua Tan and Kelvin Lee, TROOPERS is a digital HR Tech platform for flexible work that aims to grant equitable access to flexible work for all Malaysians to work and earn in a legitimate, transparent, and accountable ecosystem. Since inception in 2017, TROOPERS has grown to become
Malaysia’s flexible job-matching platform. TROOPERS works with a range of esteemed brands across Malaysia to meet all their flexible manpower needs in terms of on-ground activations, offline marketing, merchandising, in-store promotion, logistics, warehousing, concerts and shared services.
As part of its ongoing commitment in building a flexible ecosystem, TROOPERS launched the TROOPERS App in 2021 which has since garnered over 180,000 verified users, generating over RM 20 million in income for gig workers with more than 200,000 shifts transacted on the app.
