Leona joins this year's honorees as a Value Creator. Leona founded OPH Health in Singapore in 2023 and leads an international team experienced in large-scale primary healthcare projects. Through collaboration with governments and healthcare organizations, she has led OPH's expansion into more than 10 countries and regions. Primary care services are often fragmented, with uneven access to specialist expertise and gaps between screening, treatment and follow-up. OPH integrates medical devices and clinical software to connect care across communities, clinics, hospitals and homes. Its work spans healthcare delivery infrastructure and medical AI, helping frontline providers access specialist resources and coordinate care. By combining health assessments, telemedicine and clinical software, OPH helps providers coordinate screening, referrals and chronic disease follow-up. This extends care beyond individual appointments and creates a clinical data foundation for medical AI development. Integrated solutions for public and private healthcare For public health systems, OPH provides integrated solutions for community screening, referrals between levels of care and regional health information sharing, supporting national primary healthcare programs. Connecting primary care facilities with hospitals helps extend access to specialist expertise and supports earlier detection of health risks, referrals and follow-up. For private healthcare groups, OPH integrates health assessments, telemedicine and chronic disease management into digital clinic and care management solutions, helping providers deliver ongoing care beyond individual consultations. OPH adapts its solutions to local needs, from building primary care capacity in less-developed countries and regions to supporting clinics and community health services in developed markets. <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://release.media-outreach.com/release.php/Images/832372/2-12-.jpg#image-832372" alt="2 (12).jpg" width="100%" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure> Integrated tools for frontline care Primary care workstations bring together screening, outpatient care, chronic disease management and telemedicine, while capturing clinical data. Capsule Clinic provides community-based health assessments and remote consultations. When paired with Smart Pharmacy, it also supports prescription medication pickup. Portable spirometers and companion software support lung function testing and follow-up. Together, these tools help providers bring more services closer to patients. VIOLA is used in Singapore's public polyclinics. Its vaccine cabinet and management software help nurses monitor temperatures, verify vaccine retrieval using computer vision, and track inventory and expiration dates. The system maintains traceable records of vaccine handling. Frontline nursing teams contributed to its development and refinement, with project support from OPH Health. Connecting medical devices and clinical software with AI OPH is progressively enhancing its distributed medical AI system linking medical devices, clinical software and large AI models. As the system evolves, OPH is integrating data from clinic workstations and home monitoring devices into consultations, referrals and follow-up. AI servers at clinics and hospitals are intended to run models locally to assist with clinical documentation, report interpretation and clinical decision-making. Clinicians would review AI outputs before inclusion in medical records. OPH is expanding the system's capacity to maintain a health digital twin for each person: a digital profile updated with test results, clinician-verified records and monitoring data. AI assistants for clinicians and individuals would support care plans, reminders and follow-up between visits. Features derived from clinical data, together with feedback, could support model training, evaluation and improvement, subject to authorization for the intended use and quality review. Model updates would require validation and approval before clinical use. With raw data processed locally under appropriate controls, the system is designed to connect ongoing care with medical AI development.

Spanning a total area of 2,870 hectares, the development is planned with a remarkably low construction density of approximately 17%, with more than 930 hectares dedicated to green spaces and water bodies across the project. Under the Smart City criterion, the project is designed to integrate the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into urban governance, operations and environmental monitoring. By embedding technology into urban infrastructure, the development aims to optimize resources, enhance operational efficiency, strengthen management capabilities and foster a modern, safe and civilized living environment. Under the Human-Centric development criterion, the project's integrated amenities and services are planned and developed around a people-first philosophy. Residents will enjoy a premium quality of life supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of internationally benchmarked services spanning healthcare, education, senior living, culture, sports, entertainment and dining.

<h4>Multi-model risk scoring and multimodal detection of suspected minors help the adults-only platform find and act on harmful content in real time</h4>SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 31 October 2026 – <a href="http://www.chamet.com/">Chamet</a>, a global live streaming and video chat platform with more than 50 million downloads on Google Play worldwide, is expanding its use of multimodal, multi-model AI to moderate live content and protect users. Southeast Asia is one of Chamet's strongest regions, and its safety systems are built for live video. Singapore has moved quickly on online harms. The Online Safety Commission began operations on June 29, 2026, and can direct platforms to disable harmful content or restrict accounts in cases such as online harassment and intimate image abuse. Since March 31, 2025, IMDA's online safety code for app stores has required designated app stores to roll out age assurance that keeps children away from apps rated 18+. Multimodal Detection of Suspected Minors Chamet is open only to adults aged 18 and over, with zero tolerance for underage users. Rather than relying on one signal, its system combines profile photos, live-stream frames, video, voice, text, self-reported age and account behaviour. Each case receives a risk level based on model confidence, and the system can restrict content, limit interactions, or restrict the account. Human reviewers check cases before final decisions. Accounts found to have falsified their age are permanently suspended. Multi-Model Fusion for Content Review Chamet runs several moderation models and third-party services, each with its own labels and confidence scales. The platform maps their outputs onto one shared risk scale, then weighs them by content type, where the content appears, and each model's track record. Each item gets one risk level, and a consistent action, with the highest-risk cases reviewed first. These systems work alongside real-person face verification, safeguards against unauthorised screen recording, in-app reporting and blocking, and an appeals process. Chamet also offers free real-time AI translation in more than 50 languages, turning speech into on-screen subtitles during video calls. "In a live video call, harm can happen in seconds, so safety has to work just as fast," said David Qi, Chief Marketing Officer of Chamet. "By combining many models and signals, our review teams can spot risk sooner and make more consistent decisions. Connecting people and keeping them safe are two parts of the same job."

<h4>The capital will be deployed in stages across three new business lines, beginning in Brazil.</h4>KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 30 October 2026 – 10 CENTS CAPITAL SDN.

Part of the capital will build the technology and service base, including AI tools for customer research, marketing content and localisation, and the service model the business will run on. Another part will support cross-border B2B operations: research, information management and enquiry handling. The remainder is set aside for market development, beginning with market entry in Brazil, the plan's first market. Local operations there will be handled by its Brazil operating brand, VIVAMOMENTO. Strategic rationale Since 2022, 10 CENTS CAPITAL has backed companies across digital technology, e-commerce, consumer services and enterprise services. The three new lines extend that experience into businesses the company builds and runs itself, in areas it already knows well. Funding technology, service and market development together gives each line a complete foundation from the outset, instead of one assembled piece by piece. "Completing this financing opens a new chapter for our company," said 10 CENTS CAPITAL Director Peter LIEW. "We will deploy the capital with discipline, one stage at a time, so that each new business stands on a base strong enough to carry the next."

Power's 2026 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study, which evaluates the emotional appeal and ownership experience of 78,514 new-vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership across 37 attributes, found that electric vehicles outperformed internal combustion engine vehicles in nearly every category. The largest gap was in the powertrain category, where EVs scored 109 points higher on a 1,000-point scale. A 2018 study conducted by the University of York in the United Kingdom also reported positive changes among drivers who switched from diesel vehicles to electric vehicles, including improved concentration, greater calmness and a stronger sense of happiness. Together, these findings highlight how a morning commute can become a more positive start to the day - with less stress, greater comfort and a stronger sense of control. Rather than allowing rush-hour traffic to drain their energy, commuters can turn their journey into an opportunity to prepare, recharge and feel ready for the day ahead. This is the spirit behind "Start Strong. Arrive Ready.", the message Green SM, a Vietnamese-born all-electric taxi service, has chosen to introduce its experience to the U.S. market. Through every electric ride, Green SM aims to help passengers begin their day feeling more positive, comfortable and energized. Making Every Moment Before Work Count: How a Smoother Ride Enhances the Passenger Experience This experience comes to life through the VinFast VF 8, a D-segment electric SUV in Green SM's fleet in Los Angeles. Its spacious interior, clean cabin and smooth, quiet performance offer passengers a welcome moment of comfort amid the pace of urban life. Whether heading to the office or an important appointment, passengers can use the journey to finish emails, review key talking points for a meeting, or simply relax and recharge before the day begins. A pleasant journey is shaped not only by the vehicle, but also by the quality of service. Green Driver partners are carefully selected and trained, with an emphasis on professionalism, courtesy and attentive service throughout every ride. For customers booking through the Green SM app, available features provide information about drivers, vehicles and routes, helping passengers follow their journeys and stay informed along the way. Fares and promotional offers are also displayed clearly, making it easier for customers to compare options and choose a ride that suits their needs. Whether it is a morning ride before an important meeting, a transfer from a hotel to an event venue, or a series of journeys packed into a business trip, Green SM aims to make urban mobility more comfortable and convenient. After all, the value of a ride lies not only in getting passengers to their destinations, but also in helping them arrive feeling relaxed, in control and ready for whatever comes next. From Vietnam to Los Angeles: Bringing Green Mobility to More People Through the Five Green Goodness Pillars In mid-October, Green SM officially launched its all-electric taxi service in Los Angeles, marking the brand's first entry into North America and expanding its global footprint to nine markets. Customers can book rides through the Green SM app, contact the call center or hail a vehicle on the street, with options to meet a range of mobility needs, from everyday commutes and longer journeys to airport transfers. Across its markets, Green SM builds its service experience around the 5 Good Promises: Good Cars, Good Drivers, Good Price, Good Experience and Good for the Environment. In Los Angeles, these principles are reflected in an all-electric VinFast fleet, transparent fares and promotional offers, professional drivers, attentive service and rides with zero tailpipe emissions. To celebrate its launch, Green SM is offering special promotions to customers in Los Angeles. New users can enjoy 50% off their fares, up to $12 per ride, on their first five trips. Customers can also sign up for Green Pass membership free of charge and receive 10 discount codes each month, with each code offering 30% off a fare, up to $10. Founded in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM has steadily expanded its operations, bringing all-electric mobility services to markets around the world, including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Kazakhstan, Denmark and the Netherlands. The brand has completed approximately 850 million trips covering nearly 6 billion kilometers, helping reduce more than 800,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed by approximately 36 million trees. In the U.S., Green SM says it will progressively strengthen its local operations and recruit and train drivers from the local community, creating additional employment opportunities while contributing to the transition toward greener transportation in Los Angeles and the surrounding region. Alongside its expansion, the brand will continue investing in its fleet, technology, people and service quality, with the goal of building a sustainable, long-term presence in the U.S. market. From Vietnam to Los Angeles, Green SM's global journey represents more than an expansion of its brand footprint. It is also an opportunity to bring a greener, more comfortable mobility experience to people in major cities around the world. Because a productive day can begin with a better ride. Start Strong. Arrive Ready.

Operating entirely within the firm's own security perimeter, it marks a significant step toward enabling Hong Kong's legal profession to harness the productivity of generative AI while safeguarding client data and meeting compliance requirements. About the Deployment In space-constrained Hong Kong, Ms. Careen H.Y. Wong, Founding Partner of Shum Wong &amp; Co., Solicitors and Vice President of The Law Society of Hong Kong, set aside room in the Firm's latest office in the Northern Metropolis for a standard equipment rack, ready for on-premise AI. It is more than a space decision: it reflects her view of the future of legal services—that while harnessing AI to improve efficiency, a firm must retain control of its data and technology boundaries, so that sensitive materials are always properly protected. Under the engagement, Ridger built a privately owned, independently operable AI foundation for Shum Wong &amp; Co., Solicitors, comprising high-performance storage and data infrastructure optimized for AI workloads, together with a dedicated LLM platform over which the client retains full control of model weights and the inference environment. The platform supports use cases including contract review and risk flagging, legal research and case-law retrieval, large-scale document review in due diligence, drafting and multilingual translation of legal documents, and internal Knowledge Base question answering. It also provides role-based access control, tiered permissions, comprehensive audit trails and content provenance to meet enterprise-grade governance requirements. Called MUX, the private solution lets the firm begin with no barrier and without capital-intensive build-out or a dedicated server room, scaling on demand; it natively supports Hong Kong's common law system and integrates seamlessly with existing systems such as email, document management and calendar, embedding AI into lawyers' daily work. MUX can be ordered directly through Ridger's website (https://ridger.tech), out of the box. The delivery reflects the collaboration of legal expertise, AI infrastructure, compute platforms and industry applications: Shum Wong &amp; Co., Solicitors defined the requirements for data confidentiality and on-premise deployment from its actual practice; Ridger provided the end-to-end MUX solution and led its design and integration; xFusion supplied the FusionXpark local AI compute platform and technical support; and Fadada provided the Richee Legal AI Agent Platform, leveraging specialized AI agents and skills to support lawyers in their daily work and improve workflow efficiency. Ridger notes that while an AI model determines capability for a moment, AI infrastructure determines long-term competitiveness. Why Private AI Matters for the Legal Sector 1. Safeguarding client confidentiality and legal professional privilege Client materials, transaction documents and dispute information handled by law firms are protected by legal professional privilege (LPP) and strict professional duties of confidentiality. Disclosure to third parties—including public cloud services—may be treated as a waiver of privilege, causing it to be lost and the materials to become disclosable in subsequent proceedings. Private deployment keeps storage, processing and inference entirely within the firm's own environment, with no disclosure to external providers, preserving privilege and confidentiality at source. 2. Embedding data sovereignty and regulatory compliance The solution aligns with Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and is designed with reference to the Privacy Commissioner's "Checklist on Guidelines for the Use of Generative AI by Employees" and the "Model Framework on AI: Personal Data Protection," as well as The Law Society of Hong Kong's 2024 position paper on the impact of AI on the legal profession and the Manifesto on "Legal Ethical Code of Conduct Regarding the Deployment of AI." It embeds the principles of lawfulness, transparency, traceability, interpretability, security and appropriate human oversight into a unified AI governance framework. For a firm handling cross-border work, the same private environment also addresses the requirements of the major jurisdictions: for Mainland China, it aligns with the Personal Information Protection Law, the Data Security Law and data-export mechanisms such as security assessments and standard contracts; for Europe, it maps to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and standard contractual clauses; for the United States, it meets the confidentiality and competence duties under the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct and Formal Opinion 512 on generative AI. Because data always remains within the firm's own perimeter, the firm can confidently meet local data-confidentiality and regulatory expectations wherever its clients are based. 3. Eliminating the hidden risk of "shadow AI" Where a firm offers no convenient, approved AI tool, individual lawyers may turn to consumer-grade public chatbots for work, creating "shadow AI" that sits outside IT and compliance visibility—unapproved, unlogged and unaudited, with unknown data flows and no clear accountability. MUX channels that demand into a single, visible, auditable controlled environment, giving lawyers the efficiency they want while bringing every use under the institution's governance and oversight. 4. Keeping institutional knowledge within the firm The case law, templates and practical know-how accumulated by a firm are core competitive assets. A private platform continuously refined on the firm's own corpus keeps these assets within the institution and compounds their value over time, rather than depositing them with an external vendor. 5. Ensuring control and business continuity Private deployment insulates the firm from external API changes, model versioning, service outages or shifts in vendor strategy, giving it full control over capabilities, upgrade timing, cost and availability — a foundation for durable, long-term AI adoption. Executive Quotes "For industries built on trust and confidentiality, such as the law, the value of AI should never come at the price of data sovereignty," said Ray Hu, General Manager Asia-Pacific Region of Ridger. "Private deployment lets a firm turn generative AI into auditable, governable and sustainable productivity without crossing confidentiality lines. We are proud to set this benchmark with Shum Wong &amp; Co., Solicitors" Ray Hu, General Manager Asia-Pacific Region, Ridger "In Hong Kong, office space is scarce and precious, but data sovereignty is worth setting aside a place for. Building our own AI infrastructure lets us embrace AI while always safeguarding our clients' trust and the boundaries of our profession." Careen H.Y.

<h4>Collective Flourishing in the Intelligent Age</h4>HONG KONG SAR – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 30 October 2026 – The third One Earth Summit (the Summit), jointly organised by the Institute of Sustainability and Technology (IST) and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), took place today at Regala Skycity Hotel. The Summit brought together more than 40 speakers and over 700 participants from government, business, academia and philanthropy to explore how human wisdom can guide technological progress towards a shared vision of "Collective Flourishing in the Intelligent Age". <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x1067/830573/830573-OES-1096-jpg-1600x1067.jpeg" alt="Guests, VIPs, and Speakers pose for a group photo at the opening ceremony of the One Earth Summit 2026" width="1600" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> <figcaption class="" style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%"> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start"> Guests, VIPs, and Speakers pose for a group photo at the opening ceremony of the One Earth Summit 2026 </div> </figcaption> </figure> At the heart of the Summit was a clear conviction: in the age of AI, human wisdom, intention and values must guide the development and application of technology. By connecting leadership, capital, research and entrepreneurship, the Summit sought to harness innovation to deliver impactful solutions that benefit businesses and humanity, safeguard our mother Earth, and reach the communities that need them most. The opening ceremony was officiated by Mr Leung Chun-ying, Vice-Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; Mr Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China; Ms Poman Lo, Founder of One Earth Initiatives; Professor Harry Shum, Council Chairman of HKUST; and Dr Eric Cheng, Chairman of Environment and Conservation Fund Committee. In his video welcome address, Mr John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, he said: "Climate research and technological progress in spurring concerted global action. Accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss demand results. That means bridging the gap between green capital, innovation and governance. In each of these areas, Hong Kong has much to contribute. Like the One Earth Summit, Hong Kong is committed to turning dialogue into impact. Working together, we can mobilise capital, technology and people to power sustainable growth across Asia and the world." In her welcome remarks, Ms Poman Lo said, "As AI agents and systems become more autonomous, the window to guide their development with human wisdom is narrowing. The Intelligent Age must go beyond smarter machines—it must advance collective flourishing, where innovation serves humanity, prosperity is shared, and no one is left behind. Through One Earth Summit and our initiatives, our mission is to advance purpose-driven innovations and scale their impact through a global ecosystem of leaders across sectors, ensuring that their benefits are shared equitably in communities that need them most." <figure data-image-width="0" data-image-height="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center" align="center"> <img src="https://images.media-outreach.com/release.php/Thumb/1600x1067/830559/830559-OES-1034-2-jpg-1600x1067.jpeg" alt="Ms. Poman Lo, Founder, One Earth Initiatives, delivers Opening Remarks" width="1600" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> <figcaption class="" style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%"> <div align="left" style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start"> Ms. Poman Lo, Founder, One Earth Initiatives, delivers Opening Remarks </div> </figcaption> </figure> Professor Harry Shum stated, "Technological progress is not measured by capability alone, but by its capacity to foster collective flourishing, elevate human lives, and protect the planet we share. At HKUST, our responsibility is to translate that ambition into practice—through research, education, and partnerships that turn innovative ideas into real-world solutions. That means moving cutting-edge green technologies, from clean energy to climate resilience, out of the lab and into everyday life. Above all, it means nurturing the next generation by equipping them with the skills and judgment required in the era of artificial intelligence. While AI can accelerate the pace of scientific discovery, human wisdom must ultimately decide where it goes. We are preparing our people not just to master the Intelligent Age, but to become its stewards." "Planetary health and human health are inseparable," said Mr Leung Chun-Ying. "Climate change is already putting public health at risk—from extreme heat and the spread of infectious diseases to mounting pressure on healthcare systems. We must accelerate the green transition through international cooperation, not fragment it with tariffs and market barriers. China's large-scale manufacturing of solar panels, electric vehicles and other clean-energy technologies has helped bring down costs worldwide. By keeping markets open and sharing innovation, we can make these solutions more accessible—especially to the communities most vulnerable to climate change." Minister Huang Runqiu noted that the climate, biodiversity and pollution crises are intensifying, making the green transition an irreversible global trend. He said China has achieved the world's fastest improvement in air quality and, as the largest supplier of clean-energy equipment, is bringing affordable clean-energy solutions to the Global South through the Green Belt and Road Initiative. He described Hong Kong as an important contributor to China's environmental progress and the global green transition and called on the city to leverage its role as an international financial centre to mobilise cross-border investment, expand international cooperation in green technology and finance, and share expertise with the Global South. The Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, said that finance should support innovation, and innovation should serve people and improve lives. Hong Kong will leverage its roles as a "super connector" and "super value-adder" to bring together capital, technology and talent, advance sustainable development through green and transition finance, and promote the translation of research into practical applications. The city will also provide a platform for testing and demonstrating innovative solutions, including AI, to accelerate their adoption in markets around the world. He stressed that investment in technology must go hand in hand with investment in people. Through its "AI Training for All" initiative and cross-sector collaboration, Hong Kong will help people acquire new skills and ensure that the benefits of technological progress are more widely shared. Featuring twelve keynote addresses and eight panel discussions, the Summit brought together more than 40 speakers across three core themes: AI for Good, Energy and Climate, as well as Oceans and Nature. Technology for Good This theme explored how education can nurture AI literacy, human wisdom and responsible leadership, and how young innovators can turn ideas into practical solutions.

Shopee Launches ShopeeCare, Offering Comprehensive, Flexible Device Protection for iPhones at Better Prices

HONG KONG SAR – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 30 October 2026 – Hill's Pet Nutrition has announced that it is promoting ActivBiome+ Multi-Benefit technology in Hong Kong and enhancing its life-stage <a href="https://www.hillspet.hk/en-hk/cat-food">cat food</a> and <a href="https://www.hillspet.hk/en-hk/dog-food">dog food</a> formulations to meet the nutritional needs of mature and senior pets. Incorporating prebiotics for dogs and prebiotics for cats, the technology forms part of the company's approach to supporting digestive health and overall wellbeing. Hill's will also collaborate with veterinarians and pet care professionals to promote nutrition education, encouraging owners to incorporate nutritional management into preventive healthcare plans from an early stage. Pet Food for Senior Dogs and Senior Cats Support Life-Stage Nutrition The South China Morning Post, citing a recent survey, reported that Hong Kong cat owners spend an average of approximately HK$2,062 per cat each month, with expenditure increasing year on year. This reflects owners' continued investment in pet healthcare and nutrition. Ageing is a gradual process. Pets may experience increased digestive sensitivity, reduced activity, changes in immune function and a greater burden on the kidneys over time. Hill's encourages owners to pay closer attention to everyday nutrition and adopt a proactive approach to health management through their pets' diets. When selecting pet food for senior dogs and pet food for senior cats, Hill's recommends that owners work with their veterinarians to consider each pet's age, breed, lifestyle and health status. Its life-stage ranges include options for mature and senior pets, alongside everyday and prescription nutrition for individual dietary needs Prebiotics for Dogs and Cats Support a Healthy Gut Microbiome Hill's identifies gut health as an important factor in supporting pets' immune health. To address the changing nutritional needs of aging pets, the company continues to advance the application of prebiotic fibres in its cat and dog food formulations. According to Hill's, these fibres nourish beneficial gut bacteria, helping maintain a balanced gut microbiome and supporting normal digestive function. A well-functioning digestive system helps pets absorb nutrients from food, supporting skin and coat condition, daily energy levels and overall vitality as they progress through mature and senior life stages. Drawing on research published in Nature Reviews Immunology and the Journal of Animal Science, the original release states that approximately 70% to 90% of immune cells are located in the gut. It highlights the importance of a healthy gut environment in defending against external pathogens, supporting intestinal barrier function and maintaining overall health. Improving Gut Health in Dogs and Cats Through Tailored Nutrition For pet owners wondering how to improve their dog's or cat's gut health, Hill's promotes a tailored nutritional approach.

FST Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

SINGAPORE - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 30 October 2026 - Singapore's shift towards skills-based hiring is broadening how candidates are assessed. Yet published graduate recruitment criteria show that academic achievement and practical experience can sit alongside each other, rather than represent competing routes to employment. Singapore Institute of Management supports this broader approach through Career Connect, helping students connect academic learning with career preparation. The Ministry of Manpower's Job Vacancies 2025 report found that academic qualifications were not the main determinant in hiring for 79.6 per cent of vacancies. However, this covers the wider labour market. It does not directly compare grades with internships or establish that academic performance no longer matters in graduate recruitment. Academic results, internships, projects and interviews provide different forms of evidence, with their relevance shaped by the role and recruitment process. Academic achievement remains relevant alongside experience OCBC's Graduate Talent Programme illustrates how academic and non-academic achievements can feature within the same recruitment framework. Its published criteria include a degree with Second Upper Honours or above, while also highlighting extracurricular or internship achievements, leadership and problem-solving. These criteria relate to the specific programme rather than every role within the bank. The distinction is between eligibility and suitability. Where a programme specifies an academic standard, experience does not automatically replace it. Equally, meeting that threshold does not demonstrate every quality an employer seeks. Internships and projects make a candidate's contribution visible Practical experience becomes more useful when candidates can explain their responsibilities, decisions and contribution. An internship title alone provides limited insight into what an individual can do. The same applies to university projects. For an aspiring marketing professional, this could mean explaining how audience research shaped a campaign recommendation. A computing graduate might demonstrate how an application was designed and tested. A data analyst could explain how data was cleaned, interpreted and translated into recommendations. Both coursework and internships can therefore provide evidence for applications. The emphasis should be on what candidates learned, contributed and can explain, rather than simply the number of activities listed on a résumé. Recruitment assessments reflect the demands of different roles GIC's Professionals Programme shows how recruitment assessments can vary according to the nature of the role. Candidates applying to its investment and corporate services tracks undertake a business case study, while technology candidates go through technical assessment rounds tailored to the relevant domain. Both routes also involve interviews, demonstrating why graduate preparation needs to extend beyond academic results and résumé-building. Students preparing for recruitment should therefore understand the requirements of the roles they are targeting and be ready to explain their thinking, problem-solving approach and contribution through relevant examples. SIM supports career preparation alongside academic study At SIM, Career Connect offers career workshops, individual guidance, résumé reviews and mock interviews. Employer engagement includes career fairs, company visits and networking events. The CareerSense app enables students to browse and apply for internships, jobs and career events. These services help students explore career options and practise presenting their experience before entering graduate recruitment. They complement academic study rather than replace it. For students preparing for their first job, the question is not whether grades or experience always matter more. It is whether their learning, practical work and ability to explain their contribution provide credible evidence for the role they hope to enter. Further information on graduate employment is available through the Graduate Outcome and Employability section of SIM's Parent Resource Hub. References: <ol> <li> Ministry of Manpower.

<h4>Unveiling Three Innovative Products Integrating Local Hong Kong Culture and Consumption Scenarios, Demonstrating Deep Synergy Between Chinese Baijiu and Modern Leisure Lifestyles</h4>HONG KONG SAR - <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> - 29 October 2026 – The "Hong Kong Wine &amp; Dine Festival 2026," a premier global culinary extravaganza organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, officially opened today, 29 October. Kweichow Zhen (also known as Zhenjiu), the flagship brand of ZJLD Group Inc. (6979.HK), a leading Chinese baijiu enterprise listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, makes a powerful return to the event. Against the backdrop of accelerating its global expansion and developing innovative products following its IPO, Kweichow Zhen centres its participation on the core theme of "Zhenjiu Encounters Hong Kong". By seamlessly blending rich sauce-aroma baijiu with Hong Kong's vibrant contemporary urban culture, the brand creates an immersive tasting experience that highlights its latest breakthroughs in product innovation and integration with lifestyle scenarios. As a pioneer championing Chinese baijiu culture on the global stage, ZJLD Group is dedicated to breaking traditional stereotypes and continuously expanding the horizons of baijiu within modern casual living. Catering to the preferences of young urbanites and international consumers for versatile and rich flavor profiles, the Group presents three flagship innovative products. These offerings fully showcase an innovative interpretation of time-honoured craftsmanship and a profound resonance with modern Hong Kong aesthetics. Three Highlighted Innovative Products: Local Flavors, Cross-Industry Collaboration, and Multi-Category Breakthroughs Local Flavor Inspiration: ZESS（Zhenjiu Cocktail with Local Ginger and Lemon） To broaden the daily appeal of traditional baijiu and capture younger demographics, Kweichow Zhen introduces an innovative low-ABV, light-sip concept. Crafted with Zhenjiu's premium sauce-aroma baijiu as its base, the cocktail is specially infused with carefully selected local Hong Kong ginger and fresh lemon. Featuring a light 5% ABV sparkling profile, it harmoniously balances spicy nuances with crisp citrus notes, offering an approachable, low-alcohol alternative that revitalizes traditional sauce-aroma baijiu with a distinctly local Hong Kong touch. Cross-Brand Innovation: Exclusive Launch of Chocolate Baijiu Ice Cream with The Ice Cream &amp; Cookie Co. Building on the enthusiastic response to past collaborations, Zhenjiu deepens its partnership with The Ice Cream &amp; Cookie Co., an artisanal dessert brand from Singapore that has gained widespread popularity in Hong Kong. Making its exclusive debut at the festival, the "Chocolate-Flavored Baijiu Ice Cream" features a rich 60% dark chocolate base infused with premium apricots deeply soaked in Zhenjiu. The bright acidity and fermented complexity of the apricots blend perfectly with the smooth cocoa notes, delivering a luxurious triple-layered flavor experience of fruit, baijiu, and dark chocolate. Major Category Expansion: "NEWS Oak-Aged Craft Beer" Makes Its Wine &amp; Dine Debut Marking a significant milestone in ZJLD's multi-category beverage ecosystem, "NEWS Oak-Aged Craft Beer", hailed as a "Super Beer", makes its premiere at this year's Wine &amp; Dine. Developed over three years by Kweichow Zhen's R&amp;D team, it is crafted from imported Canadian and Australian two-row barley malt, top-grade German and Belgian yeast, Yakima Valley aroma hops from the US, and pristine water from Mount Mogan. Brewed using top-fermented Ale techniques with an ABV of 5.9%, it delivers elegant fruity, malty, and subtle woody notes. The brand incorporates the Eastern cultural ethos of "good fortune and prosperity" into its marketing narrative, accompanied by a sleek, modern, minimalist packaging design that embodies continuous progress and infinite possibilities. Deepening the Baijiu Globalization Strategy: Partnering with Hong Kong to Enhance Its Charm as a Global Culinary Capital Mr. Paul Ng, Vice President of International Operations at ZJLD Group Inc., stated: "The Hong Kong Wine &amp; Dine Festival is a world-class event of immense global influence. Kweichow Zhen has participated for consecutive years, and this year, we are placing even greater emphasis on the deep integration and scenario innovation between baijiu and local Hong Kong culture. From ZESS, our local flavor-inspired cocktail, to our co-created baijiu ice cream with a renowned artisanal dessert brand, and the premiere of NEWS Oak-Aged Craft Beer, we aim to present a fresh international calling card for Chinese baijiu. We want to demonstrate that baijiu is not only a traditional cultural symbol, but a dynamic, stylish lifestyle choice that seamlessly fits into modern urban leisure and daily living."
