Since this is Merdeka month, what better time to celebrate Malaysia than by supporting our very own local brands? Shopping local is more than just a purchase — it’s a way of showing pride in our country, lifting up homegrown businesses, and appreciating the creativity and hard work of fellow Malaysians.
Even us at Babydash are proud to be a homegrown Malaysian brand. From the start, our mission has been to make parenting easier for families here — and we know firsthand how much love, resilience, and support it takes for local brands to grow.
So this Merdeka, let’s make it a point to cheer on local brands even more. Because when we choose local, we’re not just buying products — we’re investing in Malaysia’s future.
Why Supporting Local Matters
So why does it matter that we support local brands? It’s more than just shopping — it’s about what it means for us as Malaysians, our community, and our future. Here’s why it’s such an important choice:
1. Supporting Fellow Malaysians
When we choose local, we’re choosing to support each other as Malaysians. No matter our background, race, or beliefs, we are one community — and supporting local brands is a way of standing together. Every purchase helps Malaysians grow, succeed, and be recognised in their own country.
2. Made for Malaysians, by Malaysians
Local brands understand us best — our culture, our lifestyle, even our climate. From baby skincare that works in humid weather to clothes designed for our daily comfort, local products are created with Malaysians in mind. That means they’re often more relevant and practical for our needs.
3. A Lesson for Our Children
Every time we support local, we’re also teaching our kids something important: to appreciate their roots, to respect their community, and to feel proud of being Malaysian. These everyday choices become powerful lessons that shape the values of the next generation.
4. Strengthening Our Economy
Every ringgit we spend on local brands stays within Malaysia. That money creates jobs, supports families, and helps businesses grow — which in turn strengthens our economy. Instead of flowing out of the country, it builds a stronger foundation for Malaysia’s future.
