The first organic skincare brand in Myanmar

21 Sept 02:42 Key points summarised by AI

Ma Myo, a chemical engineer, founded "Mama Natural Skincare" as Myanmar's pioneering organic skincare brand, capitalizing on the country's pre-coup economic growth to introduce natural, extract-based products.
The brand faced significant hurdles, including a lack of supportive regulations for SMEs from the MFDA and a market saturated with unethical copycats and deceptive 'local' brands that eroded consumer confidence in domestic products.
Mama Natural Skincare built its success on unwavering quality standards and authentic customer testimonials, deliberately avoiding false marketing to cultivate trust and achieve international recognition and collaboration opportunities.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
