TUPPERWARE’S MALAYSIAN STORY
To celebrate its 53rd anniversary in Malaysia, Tupperware Brands collaborated with cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid, known as Lat, for a special edition of its most popular product
ESTABLISHED globally more than 70 years ago, the pioneer in storage products, Tupperware Brands, has grown into a trusted household brand.
Malaysians, who have grown together with the products since it arrived on our shores 53 years ago, have fond memories of Tupperware products since childhood.
The range of products hold a special place in the hearts of many as Tupperware Brands also provide business opportunities to enrich their lives.
To celebrate its 53rd anniversary in Malaysia, Tupperware Brands collaborated with one of our very own cartoonists, Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid, or also known as Lat, for a special edition of its most popular product, Tupperware One Touch containers.
Tupperware Brands Malaysia and Singapore managing director Christine Wong says Lat, who is famous for his quirky and witty cartoons depicting Malaysian life for the past four decades, is the perfect choice for the special edition products to celebrate Tupperware Brands anniversary in Malaysia.
“When we revealed Tupperware’s first-ever collaboration with Datuk Lat, we received a very good response from our dealers.
“Having Datuk Lat is great because his work represents the essence of Malaysian diversity.
“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. We are all proud Malaysians,” she says.
Lat says that he is delighted and honoured to be approached by Tupperware Brands for the special collaboration.
“The brand has been part of our lives for so many years that we often refer to containers as Tupperware,” he said.
In reminiscing his childhood, Lat says his mother often held Tupperware parties with her friends at their home in Sungai Rokam, Ipoh, in the 1960s.
“My siblings and I would often wait at the end of the party to find out what was in the small packages.
“Tupperware was trending at the time for its unique designs. Its containers were transparent with vibrant colours. I think that is one of the reasons people love
