The launch of #TIMETORECONNECT with dobiQueen
DOBIQUEEN EMPOWERS WOMEN TO RECLAIM THEIR TIME THROUGH IT'S #TIMETORECONNECT INITIATIVE
In
light of the ever-changing work landscape and the struggles that working women
go through daily, dobiQueen Malaysia officially launched its #timetoreconnect
campaign today which was supported by the Ministry of Women, Family and
Community Development, and in partnership with ReKindle Therapy and CARING
MOMS. To promote awareness of the energy and time demands of household chores,
women are recommended to wisely prioritise building strong family
relationships.
Women
often find themselves burdened by the societal expectation that house chores
are solely their responsibility, likely influenced by their upbringing. What
often goes unrecognised is that these seemingly "routine and easy"
tasks result in both physical and mental stress, not to mention the significant
time investment they require—approximately 90 hours per month.
A 2021 UNDP Issue Brief highlighted that the unpaid work performed by women today amounts to a staggering $10 trillion of output per year, roughly equivalent to 13 percent of global GDP. This raises the question: How can we address this invisible phenomenon?
Recognising
the gravity of this issue, Franzeene Nadia A/P Rajasegaran, the Assistant
Director, Strategic Partnership Division, Department of Women Development from
the Malaysian Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development, said,
"Women wear many hats indeed, but we should break the stereotype that when
house chores are mentioned, it's automatically the woman’s job.
#timetoreconnect is a timely reminder, and it matches our mission to increase
women’s capacity and involvement in various fields. Shared responsibility is
vital for the well-being of the whole unit that we call family!"
Empowering women together
“When
I was growing up, I saw how much my working mother struggled when it came to
juggling her time between office work and house chores. She was constantly
exhausted after finishing up the house chores and the little time that I had
with her affected me drastically during my childhood. This is why I am
committed to delivering a seamless and effective service through dobiQueen, in
the hopes that families will have more #timetoreconnect with their loved ones,”
shared Nini Tan, Co-Founder of dobiQueen.
Driven by a constant desire to optimise time, Nini persistently pioneers this often overlooked yet essential service. Her latest innovation, the 6-Hour Laundry Service by dobiQueen, revolutionises the industry in Malaysia. Customers can conveniently drop off their laundry outside their unit and receive it back, impeccably washed, dried, and folded within just 6 hours.
#timetoreconnect
prompts women to reassess their use of time for house chores in order to
prioritise actions that yield long-term benefits for themselves and their loved
ones.
“After
hearing multiple stories shared by women on our platform, I understand the
problems that many mothers face in today’s context. House chores are most of
the time predominantly a woman’s responsibility and as a result, we’ve seen
many women struggle and find it impossible to find the time to do basic things,
for instance attend an upskilling course that will be beneficial to them,”
shared Shera Ann Bosco, Founder of CARING MOMS.
"As we navigate the demands of work and juggle various
responsibilities, we often put aside spending time with our children, thinking we
can make up for it later. Our children’s growth will not wait for our timing.
The time to build relationships, to create memories, and to influence their
growth and values is now. In our busy lives, it can be as simple as reading
them a story, having a heart to heart, eye to eye conversation by asking them
how their day was, showing interest in what they are doing or engaging in their
favourite activities." shared Alycia Lum, Marriage & Family Therapist
from ReKindle.

CEO & CO-FOUNDER PROFILE-
“When we allow ourselves to shine, we give others permission to shine too.” 一 Nini Tan
A problem solver at the core, Nini is
constantly looking for ways to improve the world around her. Personal growth
and development is fundamental to her, and she derives the greatest pleasure
from seeing others grow, thrive and reach new heights of self confidence.
This is evident from the business she has decided to pursue after a personal experience at her local laundromat, and the way she nurtures her own team - all with empowerment, especially for women.
HOW DOBIQUEEN WAS BORN
Nini saw the burden daily chores have on the
average person, especially the mundane task of washing, drying and folding
clothes. Although laundry is a simple task, it can take up a significant amount
of time, especially for housewives and working mothers, thereby distracting them
from more productive activities they could do for themselves and/or their
families.
The mission of dobiQueen is to turn laundry
into a hassle-free task that guarantees consistent, high-quality results with
every wash. In an effort to ensure quality washes, she has gone into
painstaking detail to provide customers with the best washing materials and
hardware.
Nini has brought her experience in sales and
marketing at Procter & Gamble and Hong Leong Bank to innovate the laundry
experience into a customer-centric venture that eases Malaysians' daily tasks.
From the highly trained in-outlet supervisors to assist customers with their
laundry to providing pick-up services that ensure complete satisfaction.
EXPANDING TO EMPOWER MORE PEOPLE
Dedicated, smart, and constantly improving,
Nini Tan hopes to give her customers the opportunity to become their best
selves by lightening their daily chores and giving them more control over their
time.
Through Nini’s leadership, dobiQueen which
was founded in 2015 has become a multi-serviced laundry solution provider with
over 75 outlets throughout Klang Valley. Key to her success has been her team
who she continues to nurture and develop.
