Tan added that Malaysia used to be affected by haze in July but now, due to global warming and weather changes, there are floods and unpredictable weather.“I became a vegetarian seven years ago. I was surprised that there was almost an immediate change after I completed my first full vegetarian weekend.
“Local dishes can be plant-based too. Berjaya Cafe at Berjaya Times Square serves Penang laksa, curry laksa, rendang, nasi lemak and many other local dishes that are plant-based.” He also shared a disturbing experience he had when he was applying to be a brand franchise owner of a fast-food chain farm.
To promote plant-based diets, ProVeg believes it is imperative to nurture the innovation skills of young talents and raise awareness of the benefits of plant-based diets through the challenge involving university students.
