‘Synonymous with sophistica­tion’

the brand,” he says.

Lat says Tupperware Brands are synonymous with sophistica­tion and helps to improve the livelihood­s of many Malaysian households.

These Tupperware parties resonate well with the brand’s vision in enriching the lives of the people.

Tupperware Brands provides many Malaysians with business opportunit­ies.

Creating an environmen­t to nurture success, the brand allows its partners to work in their own flexible hours, providing them with a work-life balance.

A career with Tupperware Brands not only can become a person’s second income, but has the potential to be turned into a fulltime business.

It is rewarding as partners are given recognitio­n for their hard work by earning cars, dream vacations and many other incentives.

Its mission is to change the lives of the people and it has done so by enlighteni­ng, educating and empowering their partners.

“Those Tupperware parties of the past meant a lot to housewives and mothers.

“It helped to supplement their family incomes and motivated them to try new things.

“It is a really great thing,” says Lat. Adding to that, Wong says the brand’s membership has now expanded to people other than homemakers, with new members signing up in large numbers every year.

“Our dealers now come from various background­s and we are seeing men and women from the corporate world joining the business.

“We are even seeing more husbandand-wife teams lately.

“We are passionate about changing lives and instilling confidence in every dealer through life-changing opportunit­ies that inspire them to realise their full potentials,” she says.

For this collection, the brand opted for Tupperware’s best-selling One Touch design with its specialise­d airtight and liquidtigh­t feature with four differents­ized containers.

They are priced at RM149.90 each set.

Wong says the designs are inspired by Malaysia’s National Day and the limited edition set can be given as a gift or kept as a collector’s item.

She says Tupperware products are recognised for its durability and a guarantee against chipping, cracking or peeling under normal non-commercial use.

The products are given a lifetime warranty.

Lat, who has been drawing since he was in primary school, designed four background­s for each of the four Tupperware One Touch containers in the collection.

He portrays his famous character, Mamat, of “Kampung Boy” fame, Mamat’s school teacher and young children, using the trademark black and white colours for the Tupperware artwork.

“You only have to look at the drawings. It’s almost like a song and the feeling you get when you sing along to an old tune.

“You feel something nostalgic when you see the children laughing and people running about wearing traditiona­l clothes.

“I hope that while you store food in the One Touch containers, you can take your time and be reminded of the essence of our country, Malaysia.”

The collaborat­ion is timely as it is launched this month. This is Merdeka month and there is nothing better than celebratin­g our heritage with something that is so close to our hearts.
