MIZUHA is not a health drink. Drinking water cannot prevent or treat cancer, and we will never imply it can — that is both untrue and against Malaysian law (Medicines Act 1956, section 5). What we can do, and what we have signed up to do, is take RM 0.20 from every can sold and route it — quarterly, publicly, audibly — to the National Cancer Society Malaysia. MIZUHA bukan minuman kesihatan. Air minuman tidak boleh mencegah atau merawat kanser, dan kami tidak akan pernah menyiratkan demikian — itu tidak benar dan melanggar undang-undang Malaysia (Akta Ubat-Ubatan 1956, seksyen 5). Apa yang boleh kami lakukan, dan yang telah kami komited untuk dilakukan, adalah mengambil RM 0.20 daripada setiap tin yang dijual dan menyalurkannya — setiap suku tahun, secara terbuka, boleh diaudit — kepada Majlis Kanser Nasional Malaysia.
The National Cancer Society Malaysia — Persatuan Kanser Kebangsaan Malaysia — was founded in 1966 by Dato' Dr S. K. Dharmalingam, Malaysia's first oncologist. Its patron is HRH Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah of Perak. Its current president is Dato' Dr Saunthari Somasundaram. The Managing Director is Assoc Prof Dr Murallitharan Munisamy.
NCSM runs the Treatment Subsidy Fund, the National Cancer Council joint initiatives, and Malaysia's largest independent cancer information centre at 66 Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz, KL. The Treatment Subsidy Fund is where every Mizuha ringgit goes — never to marketing or operational overhead at our end.
Four words guide every decision we make about packaging, partnership, and tone of voice. They keep the brand honest when the marketing team wants to over-promise, and they keep the cost down when the design team wants to over-decorate.
No claims we cannot footnote. No language we would not say in front of our regulator.
Aluminum, because it returns. The vessel is part of the product, not packaging waste.
Hospitals first. Patients first. Quiet rooms before busy ones.
One quiet voice. One accent. Mampu milik — affordable, never priced out of reach.

We are not the first beverage brand to attempt this. Greenery Water in Thailand donates 50 satang (~RM 0.07) per can to the SATI Foundation and has scaled past 50 million cans donated since launch. Our pledge of RM 0.20 is roughly three times that ratio, reflecting both a higher Malaysian price point and the audited single-cause focus.
Greenery Water 50-satang figure: company filings, Bangkok 2024. Conversion is approximate; the auditable figure on our books is the ringgit total, not the satang equivalent.
The Medicines (Advertisement and Sale) Act 1956 prohibits any food or drink from being advertised "in terms which are calculated to lead to the use of that article ... for the prevention or treatment of [the 20 scheduled diseases including cancer, tuberculosis, hypertension, diabetes]." Penalty: up to RM 3,000 / one year prison for first offence, doubled for subsequent. This is the single most critical compliance line we run. We hold ourselves to it on every label, every social post, every point-of-sale card, every email, and every word on this site.
