encourage students and teachers to showcase their creativity and talents while
focusing on promoting a healthy mental and physical lifestyle. This is in line with the
aspirations of the Ministry of Education as outlined in the Malaysia Education
Development Plan 2013-2025 to nurture a holistic generation in terms of intellect,
spirituality, emotions, and physical well-being. The MOE expresses its utmost
appreciation to Gardenia QuickBites, for creating such opportunities for the students
to showcase their talents and interests outside the formal classroom environment,”

Lavinia said, “The goal of this program is to empower future leaders to cultivate a
healthy lifestyle that encompasses holistic mental and physical well-being. Through
this program, QuickBites hopes to raise awareness among school students on the
importance of maintaining mental health in their daily lives. The main component of
this program is a mural competition among more than 120 schools that can serve as
a channel for stress release, as many students today are under immense pressure to
achieve academic excellence. This effort has crowned QuickBites as the record
holder in The Malaysia Book Of Records for the ‘Most Wall Murals In A Branding
Campaign’.”
“We from QuickBites are grateful and humbled that we are able to provide an avenue
in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Malaysia for students to work together
in creating creative and beautiful mural walls, which indirectly makes the school’s
environment more cheerful. Besides fostering a healthy spirit of competition within
the students, we believe that such activities can bring out a sense of happiness and
create memorable moments for the students and teachers that would last a lifetime,
in line with QuickBites’ core essence; Free The Happy,” she added.
