HEALTH BENEFITS OF COCONUT WATER Here are some of the benefits of coconut water which explain why it has become so popular.

REDUCES HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Coconut water is high in potassium and some studies have

reported that low level of potassium has been linked to high

blood pressure. Therefore, drinking coconut water regularly

can help in regulating blood pressure. Similar recent studies

also have found that coconut water can help raise HDL (

good) cholesterol, which makes it an excellent natural

treatment for maintaining good cardiovascular health.

STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

The Lauric acid in coconut water has antibacterial, antifungal,

antimicrobial and antiprotozoal properties, which help

strengthen the body’s immune system against a variety of

viruses and illnesses.

KEEPS THE BODY HYDRATED

Since coconut water is packed with all five electrolytes, the

body has, including potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium

and sodium. Altogether, it plays an important role to keep the

body hydrated during physical activities. It is reported that

United Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have

fought for a patent in 2000 to promote coconut water as the

next big sports drink.

AIDS IN DIGESTION AND METABOLISM

Coconut water contains various bioactive enzymes such as

acid phosphatise, catalase and RNA polymerases which help

When Andrew Yap and Jacqueline Ng started the Big Bad Wolf sale back

in 2009, they did not expect it to be one of the biggest book events in Southeast

Asia. The million-dollar, round-the-clock sale with books going for as cheap as

RM3 has become one of the most crowd-drawing events in Malaysia, beating

the likes of MATTA Fair, PC Fair, Homedec, and any other type of warehouse

sales, according to Yap.

Starting out BookExcess back in 2006, the husband and wife team has

always kept to the company’s objective : “to give.” Seeing that only 2 percent

of the Malaysian population are book readers, they started sourcing for

affordable but quality books to cultivate a reading habit among Malaysians.

Ng recalls having their first Big Bad Wolf sale in DataranHamodal. It

was their first time organising a sale and they had no idea how the response

would be.“I hired 50 staff to handle the sale and only two of them were readers.

We had two events that year, in May and in November. In May 2009, we had

120,000 books and back then we had no experience. I had to wait for each pellet

(carrying box) to arrive and it took ages. We had customers waiting and

following the trolleys for the books.

It was a positive response, despite being their first time organising such

an event. At the end of the sale, the part-timers who didn’t read became avid

readers because they saw how crazy the crowd was over. Ng received an email

from a lady who brought her brother to the sale and it had ‘converted’ him!

“The brother was just there to carry books and he wasn’t into reading. His sister

told him to just pick any two books and she would pay for them. After that, he

became an avid reader.”

Last year there were 3 million books for sale during Big Bad Wolf and it

was a non-stop shopping event for customers, some coming from as far as

Thailand, Singapore and East Malaysia. The Big Bad Wolf is such a hit among

bookworms that some people even take annual leave just to buy books!

“Previously, I had an express lane to reduce the long queues but I found out that

there was hardly anyone who bought less than five books. They usually carry

boxes and trolleys of books whenever we have the Big Bad Wolf sale,” says

Ng. Yap mentions that to go is 5am when there is a lull. You’d be surprised to

find that the peak hours are from 2am to 3am!

Ever wondered how the name Big Bad Wolf came about? Ng says Yap

proposed the idea one day when they were planning to have a book sale.

Everyone objected to it, saying it had a negative impression because the Big

Bad Wolf is the villain in the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood. Somehow or

rather, Yap made up his mind and despite objections, the name stuck. When the

graphic designer came up with the logo, Ng and the rest of the staff liked it.

“The Big Bad Wolf name is cheeky and catchy. We even have a storyline

for our fans on Facebook.” Every year the Big Bad Wolf sale has a theme.

Previous themes include a spaceship and superheroes. “There was one year

where we changed our Facebook cover photo to look like a newspaper called

‘The Daily Howl’. It was part of the storyline we created to make it engaging

and fun for our fans.” This year, it’s all about pirates. The storyline involves 3

million books being stolen by pirates and the Big Bad Wolf has to sail the seven

seas to find them! “By creating this event, we encourage people to come even

though they are not readers. Our mission is to increase readership in Malaysia

and so far, we’re very happy with the response. The biggest challenge we face

is cost,” says Ng.

Every year, Yap and Ng outdo themselves, adding more books to the already

staggering amount of books they have. But handling 3 million books is no

ordinary feat and Ng thinks it would be too “saturated” if there are more books

this year.
