OFFLINE 16 RETURNS: VITAHEALTH & TROPICANA CHAMPION MENTAL WELLNESS FOR THE THIRD YEAR

Petaling Jaya (30 June 2026) – Australian-owned supplement brand VitaHealth Malaysia (“VitaHealth”), in collaboration with community builder and master planner Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana” or “Group”), is proud to bring back its ESG-driven initiative, Offline 16, for its third consecutive year, continuing its mission to champion mental wellness in today’s digitally driven world. Kicking off on 12 July 2026 at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, this year’s edition, Offline 16: Dance & Busking Festival, celebrates the power of music and dance as universal forms of expression, encouraging participants to step away from their screens, be present in the moment, and reconnect through rhythm and shared experiences. With nine successful editions across Malaysia and Singapore, 1,645 participants, an impressive 46 cumulative offline hours, and recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records, Offline 16 has evolved into more than just a digital detox that goes beyond numbers. Its true impact lies in the lives touched and mindsets transformed—encouraging individuals to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with themselves, each other, and the communities around them.

Dr KS Beh, Chief Executive Officer of Vita Life Sciences (Malaysia & Singapore) and Founder of OFFLINE 16, shared, “At VitaHealth, we are guided by our brand promise, ‘Healthy Life, Happy Vibes’. With over 79 years of heritage as a trusted nutrition brand, we remain committed not only to delivering quality supplements, but also to championing meaningful initiatives that inspire healthier, happier lifestyles. What began as a simple challenge—encouraging people to put away their phones and reconnect with life—has since grown into a broader mental wellness movement. We believe that true wellness goes beyond physical health; it also encompasses mental well-being and the nurturing of meaningful relationships. OFFLINE 16 reflects our ESG commitment to supporting both physical and mental wellness, while fostering stronger, more connected communities.”

Serena Lim, Programme Director of Tropicana Foundation and Senior General Manager, Group Corporate Comms and ESG for Tropicana, said, “This marks our third year partnering with VitaHealth, and the journey has been truly rewarding—from achieving a Malaysia Book of Records milestone to engaging over 1,600 participants nationwide. More importantly, the impact goes beyond numbers; it is about shifting mindsets and encouraging healthier, less device- dependent lifestyles. Recognising a strong alignment between OFFLINE 16 and our ESG commitments as a community builder, we are proud to continue this partnership. Ultimately, our goal is not just to build homes, but to create thriving communities where people can live, work, play and flourish.”

“At Tropicana, ESG is anchored on People, Planet and Partnership. OFFLINE 16 reflects these pillars by connecting communities, creating meaningful placemaking at TGCR where individuals can unplug and reconnect, and fostering strong partnerships with VitaHealth to give back. Now in its third year, we are proud to continue championing this initiative as we strive to build more connected, healthier and resilient communities,” she added.
