SHENZHEN, CHINA – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – OPPO today announced that its latest flagship smartphones, OPPO Find X10 Series, will make their global debut on October 21 in Mallorca, Spain.

OPPO Find X10 Series to Launch Globally on October 21 with Next-Generation True-to-Life Imaging

SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – Allianz Insurance Singapore today highlighted the growing importance of travel protection as flight disruptions continue to affect travellers across Asia, even as international travel demand remains strong. For many travellers, disruptions are no longer an exception—but part of the journey. An unexpected overnight stay, a missed connection, or arriving without luggage can quickly turn a well-planned trip into a stressful experience. The travel landscape across Asia has shifted. After an improving trend in early 2025, disruptions have become more frequent across the region — driven by strong travel demand, airspace constraints, weather volatility, rising fuel costs, and tightly interconnected flight networks where a delay in one place quickly ripples elsewhere. As demand continues to grow and networks become more complex, even routine delays can quickly escalate — leading to unexpected expenses, extended layovers, and significant uncertainty for travellers. Allianz is observing an increasing need for solutions that help customers better navigate these evolving risks. Allianz Insurance Singapore supports customers through solutions such as Allianz Travel Protect — from helping to offset unexpected expenses arising from travel delays, to providing support for lost or delayed baggage and access to emergency medical care overseas. Travel protection plays an increasingly important role in enabling more resilient journeys. Key features include coverage for travel delays of up to S$3,000, overseas medical coverage of up to S$2 million, and automatic policy extensions for covered reasons when trips are unexpectedly prolonged, ensuring travellers continue to be supported when plans change. When journeys don't go as planned, what matters most is knowing you're not navigating the situation alone. Travellers today are planning not just for where they're going — but how they'll handle the unexpected along the way. That's where peace of mind becomes essential. As travel continues to evolve, Allianz remains focused on helping customers move forward with greater confidence—no matter how their journey unfolds.

The reveal builds on "The Art of Influence," a 360-degree programme that brings Formula 1 closer to people through experiences across Singapore and online. From city activations and a digital hub for fans worldwide to the Audi R26 livery, specially designed driver race suits and fan wear, a shared Singapore-inspired identity runs throughout the programme. The livery and adidas collection bring this concept further to life on track and beyond the circuit. <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/1600x1800/820725/820725-merged-images-jpg-1600x18.jpeg" alt="merged-images" width="1600" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px"> </figure> Created by Audi for the team's first Formula 1 night race, the Audi R26 design combines a Singapore-specific interpretation of Titanium Silver Grey with a Traditional Peranakan Pattern. Fans can discover the livery through an online reveal on audif1.com while the collection is available now at store.audif1.com. Fans in Singapore and around the world can take part by revealing the special livery online and unlocking a digital team card through the team's digital hub. Each unlocked card provides one entry into the prize draw for a trip for one winner and a companion to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix as VIP guests of Audi Revolut F1 Team. Inspired by the city's light, culture and communities, the activities are part of a broader programme for the race weekend including a community run by adidas and World of Hyatt, a pop up by Audi and adidas at Funan Mall and collaborations with gelato store Birds of Paradise and bakery Burnt Ends at the Audi House of Progress. The design work is the latest element of Audi Revolut F1 Team's mission which started in Melbourne in March to work with our partners and bring Formula 1 closer to people beyond the circuit and into our everyday lives. A LIVERY SHAPED BY SINGAPORE Singapore's transition from daylight to twilight and illuminated night provided the starting point for Audi's livery design. Audi developed a distinct shade from its Titanium Silver Grey for the occasion, with a blue shimmer inspired by the city's lights and reflections. Under the circuit's floodlights, the colour gains depth and changes in appearance as the R26 moves through its surroundings. The Traditional Peranakan Pattern adds a cultural and graphic layer. Applied to the rear wing and sidepods, it brings a visible reference to Singapore's heritage while retaining the straight geometric cuts of the team's established race livery. Together, the colour and pattern translate influences from the host city into an Audi design for the night race. The same visual language extends to specially designed race suits worn by Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto throughout the race weekend. The new Audi RS 5 will also make its Asian premiere in Singapore with a corresponding colour treatment. The related approaches create a visual connection between the R26 on the circuit and the RS 5 on the road. AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION WITH ADIDA Official Team Partner adidas has translated elements of the Singapore visual identity into an exclusive capsule collection. It features the official cap worn by Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto during the Grand Prix weekend, alongside a graphic T-shirt, sweatshirt and special edition Adilette comfort slides. The collection gives fans wherever they are watching a way to share in the team's first night race. It is available now at store.audif1.com with seamless checkout powered by Revolut Pay. Stefano Battiston, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer, Audi Revolut F1 Team: "Bringing Formula 1 to the people means giving fans more ways to feel part of the team, wherever they are. Singapore shows how we can do that through one connected idea. Audi's special livery expresses our brand through a design shaped by the city, and fans around the world can discover it for themselves through the online reveal. With the adidas collection and experiences across Singapore, that story continues beyond the race car. 'The Art of Influence' invites people to engage with the team in ways that are meaningful to them, whether they are here in the city or following from home."

Tune Protect Expands Embedded Travel Protection Offering with Airpaz Across Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines

SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – As businesses across Indonesia and Southeast Asia accelerate their use of artificial intelligence (AI), NUS Business School is exploring a different question: as AI gets better at providing answers, how can leaders get better at asking questions? <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/1600x1200/820416/820416-Dr-Emir-Hrnji-Senior-Lect.jpeg" alt="Dr. Emir Hrnjić, Senior Lecturer in Finance, NUS Business School (fifth from left), at a media engagement with Indonesian media in Singapore." 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"> Dr. Emir Hrnjić, Senior Lecturer in Finance, NUS Business School (fifth from left), at a media engagement with Indonesian media in Singapore. </div> </figcaption> </figure> For more than a century, case-based learning has put students in the shoes of business leaders by giving information they need to analyse a problem, and then ask them how they would solve it. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing what it means to solve a case. Since January 2026, NUS Business School has been piloting an AI-enabled approach in which students are given an AI-simulated problem where they must determine what information they need, decide whom to ask, evaluate the answers they receive and make a recommendation under uncertainty. The simulation is built on ScholAIstic, a generative AI platform developed by the NUS AI Centre for Educational Technologies (AICET) to support roleplaying and simulation-based learning. Dr Emir Hrnjić, a Senior Lecturer in Finance at NUS Business School, has been working with AICET to adapt and refine these capabilities for management education, developing executive personas around the business case. To date, the tool has now been used by close to 100 MBA and Executive MBA students across Singapore and Jakarta, many of whom are senior executives. Sharpening the human instinct behind good decisions In the pilot, students interview AI-simulated executives, including a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Product and Technology Officer, each offering a different perspective to the same business situation. Students must navigate these perspectives, assess the information they gather and reach their own conclusions. After each interview, students receive personalised feedback on on their questioning, allowing them to reflect and adapt their approach in subsequent interviews. Dr Hrnjić said: "Students must decide what they need to know, ask the right questions, challenge what they hear and exercise judgement without having the complete picture. The aim is not to replace that human instinct with AI, but to sharpen in by helping students become more discerning about what to ask and trust. That is much closer to how leaders make decisions in the real world." Early findings suggest that effective use of AI is not about asking more questions but about asking the right ones. Analysis of interview transcripts showed found that stronger interviews had more targeted questions, follow-ups and adaptation as new information emerged, rather than simply working through a prepared list. The findings point to a broader role for generative AI in management education. Rather than using AI primarily to search for information or generate answers, the technology can recreate the real-world scenarios, sharpening executives' judgement to better navigate uncertainty and competing perspectives they face in real organisations. NUS Business School sees potential for similar AI-simulated tools to be applied to other areas of business education where students need to question stakeholders, negotiate competing interests and make decisions under uncertainty. The ambition is to move beyond the largely static information environment of the traditional case towards a dynamic one where students actively acquire information, pursue emerging lines of inquiry, challenge assumptions and exercise judgement as the problem unfolds. The simulation is one part of NUS Business School's broader approach to integrating AI into education. The school is exploring how AI can enhance, rather than replace, meaningful learning, thereby helping students develop the judgement, critical thinking and adaptability needed to navigate an increasingly AI-enabled workplace. This becomes increasingly important as AI takes on a greater role in business. Companies across Asia, including Indonesia, are rapidly adopting AI across their operations, making the ability to question and assess AI-generated information an increasingly important leadership skill. For Indonesia, the economic stakes are significant.

Asia’s No. 1 business school uses AI to sharpen judgement in leaders

<div> <ul> <li> Average business interruption claim exceeds €850,000, around 70% higher than the average associated property damage claim. </li> <li> Fire and explosion accounts for more than 40% of the total value of claims analyzed. </li> <li> Non-natural catastrophe activity generates 74% of claims and 66% of total claim value, while natural catastrophe claims are becoming increasingly long-tailed. </li> </ul> SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – Companies are increasingly at risk from surging business interruption losses due to concentrated production, fragile supply chains, geopolitical tensions, inflation, and growing technology dependencies.According to <a href="https://commercial.allianz.com/content/dam/onemarketing/commercial/commercial/reports/commercial-business-interruption-claims-2026.pdf">a new analysis</a> from Allianz Commercial, the average total value of a business interruption claim now exceeds €850,000. This is around 70% higher than the corresponding average property damage claim of close to €500,000, demonstrating that the financial consequences of being unable to operate can substantially exceed the cost of repairing the damage that caused the disruption. The report analyzes 7,888 business interruption insurance industry claims with a total value of approximately €6.74bn, or US$7.82bn, from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2025. Although claims frequency has remained relatively stable, the average value of claims increased by over 30% annually during the past two years. "Business interruption and supply chain risk remains elevated and volatile. The operating environment is challenging with geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, cyber-related incidents, and growing dependency on technology such as artificial intelligence (AI). The scale of physical damage alone no longer determines the ultimate cost of a business interruption. Even a relatively contained incident can have consequences across production networks, customers and markets. Businesses therefore need to identify and better understand not only their own critical assets, but also those of the suppliers, technologies and infrastructure on which their operations depend," says Thomas Lillelund, CEO of Allianz Commercial. Fire is the dominant cause of loss Fire and explosion is the costliest cause of business interruption claims, accounting for more than 40% of the total value analyzed, equivalent to approximately €2.9bn, or US$3.3bn. Fire was responsible for nine of the 10 costliest man-made business interruption events in the dataset and was the most expensive cause of loss in markets including Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and the US. One case illustrates how losses can escalate beyond the original incident: a fire at a small manufacturing unit caused relatively limited physical damage but severely disrupted downstream operations, ultimately resulting in a nine-figure group-wide business interruption loss. Natural catastrophes are the second-costliest cause, representing 34% of the value of claims analyzed, and the most frequent, accounting for 26% of claims. Together, fire and explosion and natural catastrophe events generated more than 75% of total claim value. However, events that do not involve natural catastrophe activity remain the principal overall business interruption loss driver, accounting for 74% of claims and 66% of their total value. Recovery is taking longer and costing more Some natural catastrophe claims are developing over increasingly long periods. Two years after Hurricane Helene in September 2024, many associated business interruption claims remained unresolved, not due to coverage issues, but because affected companies had not yet fully recovered. Supply chain delays, labor shortages, and volatile material costs can extend both recovery and settlement. Concentrated production is also amplifying losses. Industries can depend on a limited number of specialist sites, suppliers or regions for critical materials and components, allowing a fire, cyber incident or extreme weather event at one location to cascade through global supply chains. The two costliest non-natural catastrophe events in the analysis involved fires at semiconductor factories. Underinsurance also remains a key risk as declared values can be inadequate due to factors such as inflation, highlighting the importance of regular review to ensure it reflects current operating conditions. "What we increasingly see in Asia is that the size of a business interruption loss is often determined less by the initial event and more by the speed at which an organization can recover. Whether the trigger is a fire, flood, equipment failure or disruption at a key supplier, businesses operating in highly interconnected supply chains can face prolonged operational and financial consequences. "Businesses should also regularly review their declared values and business interruption exposures to ensure they accurately reflect current revenues, costs and operating conditions. Inflation, supply chain disruption and longer recovery periods have increased the risk that declared values may no longer be adequate when a major loss occurs. The most resilient companies are those that understand their critical dependencies in advance and have practical recovery plans that can be activated immediately," adds Charlotte Field, Regional Head of Short-tail Claims at Allianz Commercial Asia. Cyber disruption broadens the risk landscape While ransomware remains the leading cyber-related cause of disruption, a growing share of loss activity is also being driven by cloud outages, software failures and incidents at third-party technology providers. More than <a href="https://blog.incidenthub.cloud/major-cloud-outages-2025#conclusion">48,000 outages</a> were tracked across cloud and software services in 2025 alone, highlighting businesses' rising dependence on digital supply chains. High-profile incidents, including attacks on <a href="https://eu.freep.com/story/money/cars/2024/07/15/cdk-cyberattack-cost-car-dealerships/74408247007/">software providers</a> and <a href="https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366616406/Blue-Yonder-ransomware-attack-breaks-systems-at-UK-retailers">logistics platforms,</a> demonstrated how a single cyber event can disrupt thousands of organizations simultaneously. As companies become more reliant on cloud services, AI and third-party technology providers, cyber-related business interruption is becoming a more significant and complex source of loss. "In today's interconnected economy, preventing business interruption is no longer just about protecting individual sites. While companies have made progress in understanding their supply chain exposures, prevention remains the most effective form of risk management. Investments in fire protection, natural catastrophe resilience, cyber preparedness and business continuity planning can make a meaningful difference to both the duration and severity of a business interruption loss. Even relatively modest investments can significantly reduce the impact of disruption when it occurs," explains Alberto Barani, Business Interruption Group Leader, Risk Consulting at Allianz Commercial. </div>Hashtag: #AllianzCommercial <a href="https://commercial.allianz.com/" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/generic_link.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://commercial.allianz.com/</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/allianz-commercial/" class="social-media-link"><img style="margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px" src="https://release.media-outreach.com/Release/templates/images/socialMedia/iconmonstr-linkedin-1-24.png" width="24" height="24" data-no-lazy="1">https://www.linkedin.com/company/allianz-commercial/</a>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<h4>About Allianz Commercial</h4>Allianz Commercial is the center of expertise and global line of Allianz Group for insuring mid-sized businesses, large enterprises and specialist risks.

Allianz: Companies Experience Sharp Increase in Business Interruption Losses

<h4>Consumer trust in the four most reputable Asian countries, China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea, has strengthened significantly in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) over the past five years. Western Europe’s reputation in the region has remained stable, but trust in the United States has declined sharply, the Rothman Intelligence Unit’s 2026 Consumer Reputation Index Survey of 12,000 consumers found.</h4>SINGAPORE – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – First compiled in 2021, the Rothman Consumer Reputation Index (CRI) measures how much consumers trust a "country brand", and how far a product's "made in" label sways their purchase decisions. Country of origin is a major factor in consumer choices in Central and Eastern Europe: more important than online reviews, or even the product brand itself. <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/1600x351/820374/820374-Charts-English-landscape-.png" alt="Rothman Consumer Reputation Index (CRI)" 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"> Rothman Consumer Reputation Index (CRI) </div> </figcaption> </figure> Research from multiple surveys between 2021 and 2023 identified which Asian countries have a positive reputation among Central and Eastern Europe's roughly 110 million consumers, finding China, Singapore, Japan and South Korea as the most valuable Asian country brands. Since then, the survey has continued tracking how these Asian countries perform compared with their main Western European rivals, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and with the United States, in ten countries of the CEE region: Austria, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Serbia. In the first survey, "Made in Germany" had the highest value in all ten countries, with the United States and France also scoring above 7. Since then, Japan has overtaken France and the United States, taking second place behind Germany in most of the countries in the region, and this year it became the most trusted country brand in Poland, as Polish consumers now rate it (7.5) above Germany (7.0), the first time an Asian country has topped a national ranking anywhere in the region. Japan, however, is far from the biggest winner in terms of improvement. While Japan's average score has risen by 0.43 points since 2021, trust in China as a country of origin improved by 0.63 points, Singapore's score rose by 0.66 points, and South Korea's by 0.72 points over the past five years. The survey also shows a more mixed picture since 2023 on the regional average, as South Korea and Singapore, the two biggest winners over the five years, and Japan made most of their advance by 2023 and have since consolidated well above their 2021 levels, while China is the only one that has continued to climb. China's rise mirrors the decline of the United States, which has lost exactly as much as its biggest global rival has gained – 0.63 points. As a result, the average consumer trust gap between China and the United States has narrowed from 2.0 points in 2021 to 0.74 in 2026. In Austria, all four Asian economies now outscore the United States, and South Korea also edges ahead of the United States in Bulgaria and Slovenia. Singapore's strongest ground is Central Europe – Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Slovenia, where Singaporean origin scores above 6 and ranks ahead of "Made in China". The "Asian four" are the biggest gainers overall since 2021, increasing their average reputation score by 0.61 points, while Germany and France have remained stable, adding 0.13 and 0.16 points to their 2021 scores respectively. The 2026 results confirm that a product's country of origin remains a stronger purchase driver in Central and Eastern Europe than the brand itself: 59% of consumers say where a product is made matters to their choice, against 55% for online reviews and 50% for the brand. Price is still the dominant factor (86%), followed by recommendations from friends and family (64%). As Zsofia Balatoni, Chief Strategy Officer at Rothman, highlights, "Three years ago our survey already showed that Asia had momentum in Central and Eastern Europe. The 2026 results show the trend has held. Japan now competes with Germany for first place in Poland, China has never been rated higher, and South Korea and Singapore have closed more than half of their gap with America since 2021. Consumers in Central and Eastern Europe buy the country before the brand, and Asia's country brands are increasingly valued."

<h4>Why manufacturers, businesses, brands and policymakers across Asia-Pacific should be in the room as new rules reshape how materials move. </h4>KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – Companies selling into Europe are about to find out whether their supply chains are ready for the rules. On 21 November, the European Union will ban plastic waste exports to non-OECD countries, and its new vehicle and packaging regulations will increasingly require recycled content in the products they sell. Just days before, on 16 and 17 November, the Plasticity Forum Kuala Lumpur (KL) 2026 will bring brands, manufacturers, plastic makers, and policymakers to M Hotel in Kuala Lumpur to ask how the region secures the materials it needs and stays competitive as the rules tighten. <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/820199/Image-1.jpg" alt="Mr. Douglas Woodring, Founder of the Plasticity Forum" width="100%" 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"> Mr. Douglas Woodring, Founder of the Plasticity Forum </div> </figcaption> </figure> Southeast Asia's supply of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic is already feeling the shift. Thailand and Indonesia halted plastic scrap imports in January 2025, and Malaysia has tightened its plastic waste import rules and, since April 2026, banned e-waste imports outright. That material is critical to products destined for the EU. Under the EU's vehicle rules, new vehicle models must contain at least 15% recycled plastic from 2032, rising to 25% from 2036, and its packaging rules set recycled-content minimums from 2030. Wider eco-design rules are also expected to reach products such as electronics and textiles in the coming years. Manufacturers will need reliable, compliant supply to keep selling into major markets. "The old model of shipping waste to wherever it is cheapest to process is ending, and the rules are changing faster than many businesses have planned for," said Mr. Douglas Woodring, Founder of the Plasticity Forum. "It is the best of times for corporate pledges and the hardest of times for operational reality. You cannot make a product to the new standards if the raw material is locked behind borders or left in landfill. The businesses that start building compliant supply chains now will be the ones still selling into these markets." Over two days, the Plasticity Forum KL 2026 will tackle the policy and market questions behind that challenge, from Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and investment to consumer demand and the UN Plastics Treaty, with sector sections on electronics, automotive, and food-grade plastics. A candid panel of brands, plastic makers, and recovered plastic suppliers will cover the good, the bad, and what works in practice, and roundtables will feed into a closing session, "From Plasticity 2026 to the World", gathering the messages delegates want to take to brands, regulators, investors, and the UN. "Southeast Asia is where this shift is being felt most keenly, and Kuala Lumpur is the right place to work out what comes next. The region has a chance to build higher-value, more resilient circular material systems rather than simply react to new rules," Mr. Woodring added. Since its launch at the Rio+20 Earth Summit in 2012, the Plasticity Forum has been staged in 13 cities around the world and returns to Greater Kuala Lumpur, which also hosted the forum in 2018. The Plasticity Forum KL 2026 will take place on 16 and 17 November at M Hotel for anyone with a role in the plastics supply chain who wants to help shape what comes next. Organisations can take part in Plasticity KL 2026 by attending, by contributing insights and sharing the event with their networks, or by supporting the forum as a sponsor, exhibitor or supporter.

<h4>Future-ready infrastructure supports digital learning across 24 schools and approximately 10,000 students</h4>OKINAWA, JAPAN – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 8 October 2026 – ALE International, operating under the trade name Alcatel-Lucent, in collaboration with Rikei and Prostaff, has deployed a future-ready Wi-Fi 7 network for the Okinawa City Board of Education, supporting digital learning across 24 elementary and junior high schools and approximately 10,000 students. As Japan's education system prepares for wider adoption of digital learning materials by 2030, school networks will need to support more connected classrooms, higher device density and more flexible teaching models. For the Okinawa City Board of Education, this meant building a resilient and scalable connectivity foundation while simplifying network operations across multiple school sites. The Okinawa City Board of Education required a high-performance wired and wireless network capable of supporting growing digital learning demands across 24 schools. It also needed centralized visibility and management across both wired and wireless infrastructures, compatibility with existing classroom tools, and reliable wireless performance in environments affected by radio frequency interference from nearby facilities. Working with Rikei and Prostaff, Alcatel-Lucent designed and implemented a network architecture combining next-generation Wi-Fi 7 access points, high-performance switching and centralized management through OmniVista Network Management Platform. A Proof of Concept was conducted to validate wireless performance, compatibility with existing systems and the ability to operate effectively in complex radio frequency environments. The deployment provides Okinawa City's schools with a reliable, high-speed network foundation to support digital learning at scale. The new infrastructure delivers Wi-Fi 7 connectivity across the 6GHz and 5GHz bands, improves responsiveness for digital learning applications and enables more consistent classroom connectivity across all schools. The transition from the previous infrastructure was completed smoothly while maintaining support for existing classroom technologies. The new network also provides a centralized and scalable operational foundation across all 24 schools. By consolidating visibility and management of the wired and wireless infrastructure, the Okinawa City Board of Education can simplify day-to-day network operations and more efficiently manage the growing number of connected devices and digital learning applications. "Digital learning only works when the network behind it is reliable," said Ms. Yuko Shima, Deputy Chief Administrator, Educational Support Center, Instructional Department. "We needed infrastructure that could support today's classrooms while giving our schools the flexibility to evolve as education becomes more digital. Alcatel-Lucent and its partners understood this requirement and delivered a network foundation that supports both our immediate needs and our long-term goals." "Our objective was to help Okinawa City build a high-performance and reliable digital learning environment across all schools," said Tee Jyh Chong, Senior Vice President Sales &amp; Services, Asia Pacific. "By combining Wi-Fi 7, high-performance switching and centralized management, we are helping the Okinawa City Board of Education simplify operations, strengthen connectivity and prepare for the next phase of digital education."

HONG KONG SAR – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 7 October 2026 – Hong Kong has again been rated as the world's freest economy, according to the Economic Freedom of the World 2026 Annual Report, published on October 6 by the Canada-based Fraser Institute. Hong Kong remained top among 165 jurisdictions worldwide with Switzerland in second place. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government welcomed the latest report, noting that, among the five areas of assessment, the city continued to be ranked first globally in "Freedom to trade internationally" and second in "Regulation". <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/820220/Hong-Kong-retains-leading-positi.jpg" alt="Hong Kong retains leading position as the world's freest economy" width="80%" style="width: 80%;margin: 0px auto"> </figure> "The Fraser Institute's report once again affirms Hong Kong's strengths as a free-market economy and its open, efficient and fair business environment," a spokesman for the HKSAR Government said. "Amid increasing global economic uncertainties and rising trade protectionism, Hong Kong remains firmly committed to maintaining its free port status, zero-tariff policy, and simple and low tax regime, providing a secure, stable, fair, predictable and internationalised business and investment environment for investors and entrepreneurs from around the world." "One country, two systems" advantages The HKSAR Government highlighted that, under the "one country, two systems" framework, Hong Kong enjoys the strong support of the Chinese Mainland and maintains close connections with the rest of the world. "While offering convenient access to both the Chinese Mainland and international markets, Hong Kong continues to practise common law in both Chinese and English," the spokesman said. "It also offers financial, shipping, trading and professional services that align seamlessly with international best standards, supported by an efficient government structure and a clean and professional civil service." These strengths enable Hong Kong to fully leverage its roles and functions as a 'super connector' and 'super value-adder', making it the best gateway for Mainland enterprises to enter international markets and for overseas enterprises to enter the Mainland. Attracting investment and talent So far this year, Hong Kong has continued to scale new heights in various international competitiveness rankings covering finance, innovation and technology (I&amp;T), education and talent, reflecting wide recognition by the international community of Hong Kong's core strengths and the HKSAR Government's efforts to promote high-quality social and economic development. Indeed, Hong Kong's favourable business and living environment, coupled with the proactive and concerted efforts of the HKSAR Government and all sectors of the community, continues to attract enterprises and talent from around the world. Last year, the number of companies in Hong Kong with parent companies overseas or in the Mainland exceeded 11,000, an increase of 11 per cent over 2024 and a record high. The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES), established by the HKSAR Government in 2022, has successfully attracted over 120 strategic enterprises to date, including many global industry leaders with a market capitalisation or valuation exceeding $100 billion and possessing cutting-edge technologies. On talent attraction, from end-2022 to August this year, over 670,000 applications were received and over 470,000 were approved under various talent admission schemes, with more than 310,000 individuals having arrived in Hong Kong. Over the past year, Hong Kong recorded considerable growth in funds raised through initial public offerings, bank deposits and assets under management in the asset and wealth management business, reflecting international investors' confidence in and recognition of Hong Kong. Looking ahead Last month, the HKSAR's Chief Executive, John Lee, announced the First Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (2026-2030) (Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan) and the 2026 Policy Address.

<h4>emart24 and Maryam DurianKimchi come together under the tagline “Two Worlds, One Seoul” (Dua Dunia, Satu Seoul)</h4>KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – <a href="https://www.media-outreach.com/">Media OutReach Newswire</a> – 7 October 2026 – emart24, the Korean convenience store brand, today announced content creator Maryam You Narae — widely known as Maryam DurianKimchi (@uyounik) — as its brand ambassador, marking the start of a new collaboration conceptualised by emart24 to celebrate the connection between Korean culture and Malaysian everyday life. <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/820045/Dua-Dunia-Satu-Seoul-Horizontal.jpeg" alt="emart24 x Maryam DurianKimchi: Dua Dunia Satu Seoul" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%"> <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%" class=""> <div style="margin-top: 16px;text-align: start" align="left"> emart24 x Maryam DurianKimchi: Dua Dunia Satu Seoul </div> </figcaption> </figure> Maryam Younarae hails from Seoul, South Korea, where she met her husband, Rizal, while he was studying in Korea. Having lived in Malaysia for more than six years, the couple has become a familiar and much-loved presence online, gaining popularity for documenting their everyday family life with humour and warmth. With more than 47 million views on TikTok and a community of over 2 million followers, Maryam has emerged as one of Malaysia's recognisable voices in Korean food and family cooking. Known for preparing wholesome, home-cooked Korean meals for her children, Rina and Rian, Maryam has built a loyal following of Malaysians who share her love for K-food and family-style cooking. Her unique connection to both Korean and Malaysian culture, coupled with her genuine passion for bringing Korean flavours into everyday family life, makes her a natural fit for emart24 as the brand continues to make Korean-inspired food and culture more accessible to Malaysian consumers. The partnership is built around the positioning "Two Worlds, One Seoul" (Dua Dunia, Satu Seoul), reflecting the meeting point between Korean culture and Malaysian everyday life. The concept celebrates how Korean food and culture can be enjoyed authentically while naturally becoming part of the lives, tastes and routines of Malaysian families. Maryam will front emart24's campaign communications — from digital content to launch visuals and in-store materials — appearing in looks that span traditional and modern hanbok as well as the emart24 uniform, bridging Korean heritage with the familiar, everyday convenience store experience. The collaboration debuts with emart24's K-Rasa Fusion of Flavours menu, launching on 15 September 2026 and fully halal certified. The range was developed in response to growing consumer interest in trendy Korean food and flavour experiences, bringing together elevated takes on Korean fan favourites with playful new elements designed to surprise and delight. The line-up includes: <ul> <li> K-Pizza Tteokbokki – A bold Korean-Italian fusion of chewy rice cakes, tangy pizza sauce, spicy gochujang, bulgogi chicken and melted mozzarella. </li> <li> K-Reamy Korean Udon – Chewy udon in a creamy gochujang sauce, loaded with kimchi, mozzarella and chicken strips, topped with an onsen egg. </li> <li> Strawberry Pop Yogurt Milk – A refreshing strawberry yogurt drink with bursting popping boba for a deliciously fun Hwachae-inspired treat. </li> <li> Mango Pop Yogurt Milk – A refreshing mango yogurt drink with bursting popping boba for a deliciously fun Hwachae-inspired treat. </li> </ul> The savoury line-up elevates familiar Korean favourites with richer, more contemporary flavour profiles, while the Strawberry Pop and Mango Pop Yogurt Milk drinks tap into consumers' growing appetite for sweet and creamy beverages with unexpected elements — featuring popping yogurt balls for an added burst of texture and flavour. Together, the K-Rasa range translates these consumer insights into accessible, trend-led Korean food experiences into the everyday convenience of emart24, offering Malaysian consumers familiar favourites with something new to discover. Alongside the campaign, Maryam will also spotlight emart24's Jemart Value range — a mix-and-match selection of ready-to-eat food and beverages priced at RM5.90, RM6.90 and RM7.90, giving customers an affordable, convenient option for those on the go. The partnership comes as emart24 continues to expand its presence across Malaysia, with the brand now operating 110 stores nationwide as of 15 September 2026. The growing store network is bringing Korean-inspired food, beverages and lifestyle experiences to an increasingly broad Malaysian consumer base, strengthening emart24's position as a destination for affordable halal Korean street food and K-culture. "Maryam brings a warmth and authenticity that makes Korean culture feel close to home for Malaysians. With 'Two Worlds, One Seoul', we are celebrating what happens when Korean culture meets Malaysian everyday life — and we couldn't think of a better person to bring that story to life with us." said Vuitton Pang, Chief Executive Officer, emart24 Holdings Sdn Bhd. "emart24 just felt right and I have always been a fan of their food. As a Muslim revert who loves Korean food, halal matters to me — and they get that. Cooking K-food for Rina and Rian has always been my joy, and now I get to share that same joy with all Malaysians." said Maryam You Narae (Maryam DurianKimchi), Brand Ambassador, emart24. More Than a Campaign The appointment marks the beginning of a broader, longer-term collaboration between emart24 and Maryam, extending beyond campaign content into product development and exclusive consumer experiences. Looking ahead, emart24 has more planned for the collaboration, including co-created halal-focused Korean-inspired dishes, a private label range endorsed by Maryam, limited-edition merchandise for emart24 VIP app members, and exclusive meet-and-greet experiences — with further details to be unveiled in the months ahead. These initiatives will give consumers more ways to experience the partnership, from discovering new K-food creations to engaging directly with Maryam and the emart24 brand. The campaign rolls out across Maryam's own social media channels and emart24's official digital platforms, supported by campaign visuals, video content and media outreach, with more menu discoveries, collaborations and content planned throughout the year.
