Offline 16 returns: VitaHealth and Tropicana champion mental wellness for the third year

PETALING JAYA (July 1): Supplement brand VitaHealth Malaysia (VitaHealth), in collaboration with Tropicana Corp Bhd, is bringing back Offline 16 for a third consecutive year, continuing its mission to champion mental wellness in today’s digitally driven world.

Kicking off on July 12, 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, the statement said.

Across nine editions in Malaysia and Singapore, Offline 16 has drawn 1,645 participants, clocked 46 cumulative offline hours and received recognition in the Malaysia Book of Records. What began as a simple challenge encouraging participants to disconnect from their devices has evolved into a broader movement focused on mental wellness, community connection and healthier, less device‑dependent lifestyles.

Championing mental wellness beyond supplements

Vita Life Sciences (Malaysia & Singapore) CEO Dr KS Beh and founder of Offline 16, said the initiative reflects VitaHealth’s broader commitment to holistic wellness.

“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,” he said.

“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.”

Tropicana’s ESG lens: People, Planet, Partnership

Programme director of Tropicana Foundation and Tropicana senior general manager, group corporate communications and ESG Serena Lim said the partnership has deepened over time.

“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,” she said. 

“More importantly, the impact goes beyond numbers; it is about shifting mindsets and encouraging healthier, less device‑dependent lifestyles.

“Recognising the 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 Tropicana Golf & Country Resort 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.
