KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – As real-time air quality tracking from IQAir records particulate matter (PM2.5) reaching unhealthy levels across Malaysian urban corridors, employee platform Setlary has partnered with Health Lane Family Pharmacy to launch an urgent haze-relief CSR campaign supplying free protective face masks to 80,000 workforce.

The nationwide initiative was officially launched at Health Lane Ombak KLCC, marked by a ceremonial ribbon-cutting and symbolic handover of the first relief packs between Setlary Co-Founder Ang Gee Guan and Health Lane Director Datin Lee Ai Lang.

Representatives from Health Lane Family Pharmacy and Setlary officiate the ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch their joint CSR initiative.

While indoor office workers can stay shielded in air-conditioned spaces, thousands of delivery riders, factory personnel, and daily commuters face toxic smog head-on every morning. To ensure immediate defense without adding unexpected costs to monthly household budgets, participating employees also receive supplementary Workforce Wellness Kits containing preventive care and immune-support essentials.

Employees can bypass paperwork entirely by generating a digital voucher in the Setlary mobile app, redeemable instantly over the counter across more than 260 Health Lane community pharmacies nationwide.

"With IQAir pollution alerts flashing on everyone's phones, daily living costs silently creep up," said Mr.Ang Gee Guan, Co-Founder of Setlary. "Between frequent mask replacements, throat lozenges, and flu remedies, working Malaysians take an unfair financial hit just to travel to work. Basic safety should never be a trade-off against lunch money. Partnering with Health Lane lets us put certified protection directly into workers' hands fast, frictionless, and completely free."

Datin Lee Ai Lang, Director of Health Lane Family Pharmacy, added: "When air quality deteriorates, proper filtration is the first line of defense. Nobody should have to hunt through empty shelves or deal with inflated prices during seasonal spikes. Connecting our 260 retail locations with Setlary’s digital network ensures certified supplies and pharmacist guidance remain accessible in every neighborhood."

Redemptions for complimentary face masks and the Workforce Wellness Kit are available via the Setlary mobile app at participating Health Lane pharmacy counters nationwide throughout the campaign period.
