Ink Newsletter | November/December 2016
Editorial How time flies, it’s the last issue of Ink Newsletter for 2016, and we’re making it special by publishing a Double Issue! I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Pelikan Store online (www.pelikanstore.com)! It has always been in the plan to create an online channel for our products, based on the feedback we received from customers who have inquired for a virtual place to purchase our products. So it seemed natural that a year after Pelikan Store was opened at The Gardens Mall, we moved on to open an online Pelikan Store that will give our brand a bigger presence in the market and make our products more accessible to everyone. The Pelikan Store online is now fully operational and we have started to promote it to the online community. To commemorate the launch, we are offering Free Shipping to anywhere in Malaysia when minimum amounts are purchased, and we’re having a Christmas promotional code too. Read all about it in the newsletter. We also plan to feature more products, marketing events and promotional activities through our online channel. So please support and share the website to your family and friends! We mentioned about how we are focusing on print advertising in the last issue, in order to introduce and push our brands and products to the market. We are also going about this by doing collaborations with local bloggers, especially art, parenting and lifestyle bloggers. It’s an effective way to build up our online presence and brand awareness as these bloggers are influential in
shaping the mind of consumers. Read all about this in this issue’s ‘In a Blink’ marketing news. Another important development, our annual back to school campaign is in its full force right now as we have entered the 2nd month of the campaign. Our new products for this Back to School season: Brush Marker and Best Friends Set are available for purchase now, so grab one and try them out! Online and print advertising, ground events promoting the campaign with our partners and dealers, as well as the Best Friends Colouring Contest will continue to be promoted until the end of the campaign. Spread the word about our Back to School Best Friends campaign with your family and friends, and read up about the marketing events coming up in the next couple of weekends so do take note of the dates! Lastly, we are having our annual staff sale of which a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to a charitable home. Our “Sweet Merry Christmas” staff sale is a great opportunity for you to purchase your favourite stationery and writing instruments from Pelikan and herlitz for your own use, for your loved ones, as Christmas presents or as Back to School essentials. Offer ends end December so hurry hurry! On behalf of PASB, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017! May all your hopes and wishes for the New Year come true! Here’s to a great 2017!
Phikyin Loo Yours sincerely,

choolbag herlitz’s “S
w” Used for Ne
Do you remember the herlitz’s “Schoolbag Used for New” donation drive? It’s a programme where customers were given a 30% discount to buy a new herlitz bag when they donated their old school bag to Pelikan Store. The old bags will be cleaned and refreshed, and will be donated to a charity home together with some Pelikan stationery supplies. The programme was meant for the month of September only but the feedback we received was so good that we had to extend it for another month and more! Well it’s now officially closed and we are happy to report that we received more than 50 bags under this programme, much more than what we anticipated. We are going to donate the bags collected to the children of Rumah Kids, planned in January 2017. Interested to join us? Keep reading, more info about this in the ‘Wink – Staff News’ section.
Bloggers Day
re
@Pelikan Sto
Pelikan hosted a Bloggers Day at Pelikan Store on 26 November 2016. 14 bloggers, most of them lifestyle bloggers, attended the event with some bringing their children to see what Pelikan Store has to offer. They were all given a tour of Pelikan Store and at the same time were briefed about Pelikan and Pelikan Store by Ms Phikyin Loo, Head of Pelikan Malaysia. The children then joined a special art class session conducted by Pelikan Store’s art instructor, Ms Shahrizan Tan. From this visit to Pelikan Store, the bloggers will write about Pelikan and Pelikan Store in their blog, as well as promoting the brand on their social networks like Facebook and Instagram.

The Souveran Stresemann is dedicated to the foreign minister of the Weimar Republic, Gustav Stresemann who was honoured together with his French colleague Aristide Briand with the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1926. Now, Pelikan offers the series in the very popular size 400. The barrel with the deceptively simple anthracite stripes is made of cellulose acetate, using a traditional process that‘s extremely work-intensive. For the black, finely turned pieces, high-quality resin was used. The clip and the rings are plated with palladium. The gold nib is completely rhodinized to obtain a silver sheen. Every single writing instrument is mounted by hand and carefully checked to fulfill the strictest quality criteria. This elegant series consists of pistone fountain pen, ball pen or roller ball pen. Stresemann will be part of the standard collection and available starting from December 2016 at KSGILLS Online Penshop, Isetan KLCC, Mandarin Oriental KL (MO Shop), Pelikan Store at The Gardens Mall and Pelikan Malaysia HQ..

Article 01
Universal Children’s Day Universal Children Day is celebrated on 20 November every year. United Nations established Universal Children’s Day in 1954 to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare. In Malaysia, the Universal Children”s Day celebration was marked with honouring children with remarkable stories under the ‘Young Changemakers’ programme. Continue reading below to learn more about the children and the programme.
Children who effect changes were celebrated in conjunction with Universal Children’s Day In the past year, over 3,000 children have attended the ‘Young Changemakers’ workshops that introduce the idea of changemaking to them. They got to tackle problems and issues by exploring how they could play a part and improve things. The finale of the workshop series – run by WOMEN:girls, under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and with content developed together with Unicef– was the first ever Young Changemakers Summit held last week. The summit, held in conjunction with Universal Children’s Day on Nov 20, was run by children for children. It was attended by 300 young changemakers and their enablers (parents, teachers, family and private corporations). The highlight of the summit was the Tuanku Bainun Young Changemakers Awards which received over 150 nominations nationwide. Ten finalists were selected for stepping up and taking action to make the world a better place.
The Entrepreneur Serena Zara Taufiq, 8 years old Petaling Jaya, Selangor She cannot open her own bank account yet but eight-year-old Serena Zara Taufiq already has a social enterprise. Other children were content to be swept by the rainbow loom craze and made it their hobby for a while. But Serena has taken her loom crafting a step further. For the past two years, she has been combining her creativity in crafts and her entrepreneurial spirit to raise funds to help the disadvantaged. This initiative has earned Serena the award of Young Changemaker. “I feel strongly for children especially those with special needs and those who have lost their parents. My aim is to make their life easier and put a smile on their faces with the profits of my sales,” says the pint-sized schoolgirl who gave her acceptance speech confidently but was shy when interviewed. She calls her business Serena’s Secret, with
“Sharleez has made me a better person and I will always be there for her. I want everyone to love their children, especially the underprivileged ones because they need your love and friendship more than anyone else,” says Serena the tag line “gems from the heart”. “This is because gems are pure and fresh just like children. I learned how to make accessories from YouTube videos and books. Now, I have started creating my own designs and I producing crystal bracelets and pearl beaded accessories,” says the British International School student.
Her mother says Serena’s drive and social awareness have always distinguished her. “Serena has always been a positive child and a caring sister to Sharleez. She is always there for her sister. I am proud that Serena has good social motivations,” she says.
She was motivated to earn money from her crafting hobby because she was inspired by her five-year-old sister Sharleez who has autism. Serena contributes her profits to the Hatching Centre, Petaling Jaya where Sharleez goes for her intervention programmes. The funds go towards buying therapy equipment for special needs children. “Serena spends most of her time in the autism centre that Sharleez attends. She spends time playing, feeding and reading books to the children there. She has made friends there and enjoys the interaction, which inspired her to start this business,” says Serena’s mother Wan Himratul Azliza. Serena has created many platforms to market her crafts. She makes her accessories and sells them to her family and friends via chat groups and word of mouth. She also runs her craft booths in various bazaars and locations. There are also plans to set up a website so she can reach more customers. “My most satisfying moment was when I had a sale and made a profit of RM2300, which I contributed to the Hatching Centre,” says Serena proudly. She has also trained others – five adults and 11 children – to make handcrafted accessories so that they too can help the centre. “I hope Serena’s Secret will not only be a brand but an inspiration for the people and the world to understand autism better. I hope my business will grow big enough to offer job opportunities for these talented children in the future.
The Teacher Medina Zaharan, 9 years old Shah Alam, Selangor Nine-year-old Medina is not a trained therapist but she has been of great help to the special needs children at the Yireh Foundation in Puchong, Selangor, for the past three years. She goes with her mother to the centre every week and does all the things that children her age like, such as playing music and doing art. But Medinah understands that her friends at the centre have difficulties and challenges to overcome. “Drawing straight lines may be simple for us but it’s not simple for them,” says Medina who does activities like drawing and colouring with the children at the centre.
Ink Newsletter | November/December 2016
But it wasn’t always easy for the Standard Three pupil to work with the children. Medina initially found it hard to engage with the children as some lack social skills. But she persevered. “It’s because of the children. They are usually really happy to see us and for that one reason, I keep myself going there once a week,” says Medina who believes music and art are mediums that can help the disabled communicate. “The children love challenges,” she adds, proud of their progress. Medina has also volunteered elsewhere. In 2013, she volunteered at an orphanage in Chiangmai, Thailand. She was also a part of the Kelantan Food Relief effort in 2014 where she helped to pack goods. By now, she has had three years of teaching experience. “I am officially a teacher now,” she says with a laugh when receiving her Young Changemaker award. Apart from working with special needs children, Medina is also passionate about saving endangered animals, especially in creating awareness. “Even my grandmother loves to eat turtle eggs. She thinks it’s only food but she doesn’t realise she is endangering the turtles,” says Medina unhappily. One of the first initiatives she did was to make postcards about endangered animals and how to help them. “I made all the postcards and they were sold out,” says Medina who hopes to write a book on Malaysia some day. “What you do can make a difference. You have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make,” she says.
The Optimist Lee Zixuan, 11 years old Kampar, Perak Lee Zixuan’s teacher Shee Yuen Ling made her join the Young Changemakers programme because she believes that the 11-year-old schoolgirl is an inspiration to those around her. Zixuan suffers from cloacal malformations (a malformation in females where the rectum, her vagina, and urinary tract are fused together, creating a single common channel) but the Kampar schoolgirl has borne her health issues with courage and determination. “Zixuan is obviously a bright girl, as you can see. She is very optimistic and always thinks positively,” says Shee during the awards ceremony. Although so young, Zixuan has learnt to live and deal with her challenges bravely. She has also triumphed over her adversities and worked hard in her studies. Zixuan is not only a top student but also active in co-curricular activities. She has participated in storytelling, public speaking and choral speaking competitions at the district, national and international level. But things were not always easy for her. In kindergarten, her classmates often teased her. It was hard for other children to understand her struggles and be supportive. “For most people, friends are really precious. But everyone refused to be my friend. I had no friends during my kindergarten years,” recalls Zixuan.
Things got better in primary school where she made friends and had supportive teachers.
The other heroes These are the other finalists for the Young Changemakers Award.
“I was treated with patience, tolerance and received a lot of tender, loving care from my teachers and friends.
• Farah Natasyahira Mohd Nizam, 12, suffers from kidney failure but raises funds for her treatment by selling used items online. • Ryan Mahendran, nine, actively involves himself in an inclusive outdoor classroom, a programme that is run for children with special needs. • Nur Irrina Balqis Mohd Farriz, 11, uses recyclable items to invent and innovate. • Project DAMAI is a group of eight enterprising girls – Hajar Sofea Azizul, Puteri Suraya Jehanshah, Najwa Sofea Nazeri, Nur Shahkirah Hamid, Nur Alyssa Izzati Norman, Nur Zulfan Zolkifli, Lila Samaud, Emyra Sofea and Huda Aqilah Mohd Hamidan – who do charity work. • Wan Ahmad Asyraf Wan Mohd Fairuz, nine, runs workshops on airplane models. Proceeds go to helping disadvantaged children. • Chrisalynn Lim Ching Yen, 13, has been raising money to travel and help underprivileged communities around the world. • Mohammad Nor Hafizudin Mohamed Abdullah,14, a leukaemia patient raises funds to help other children with cancer.
“When I feel helpless and want to give up, I relax, clear my mind and attract positive vibes,” says the young girl. Last year was tough for Zixuan. She had to undergo a major surgery and had to wear diapers to school. “I was glad my friends were understanding about my condition but there were times they teased me too,” says Zixuan who has undergone more than 10 surgeries. Still, she never went a day without a smile. “Please don’t be affected by your physical difficulties and try to be the best in everything you do,” emphasises Zixuan who wants to share her story and inspire others to live courageously regardless of their circumstances.
