HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine Company Limited (“BTRT”) (3613.HK) has released a new video showcasing its Hong Kong “Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care”, a youth engagement initiative designed to fuel young people’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) through fresh, hands-on, and inspiring experiences.

This new video showcases Beijing Tong Ren Tang’s Hong Kong “Student Ambassador Programme for Chinese Medicine and Health Care”, a youth engagement initiative designed to fuel young people’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) through fresh, hands-on, and inspiring experiences.

Rooted in BTRT’s long-standing values and supported by the brand’s more than 350 years of history, the programme reflects the company’s commitment to promoting Chinese medicine culture while embracing innovation to connect with the next generation. Through immersive learning, 5G technology exploration and community activities, BTRT aims to make TCM more accessible, relevant and inspiring for primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong.

In the video, students share how they learned about the TCM principle of “preventive treatment of disease”, discovered how herbs can support daily wellness, and gained first-hand insight into the use of Chinese medicine therapies in sports recovery.

From classroom knowledge to real-world experience One of the programme’s key strengths is its ability to shape how students perceive TCM by showing its relevance to daily life, sparking curiosity, and encouraging continued conversations with peers and elders. During the visits to BTRT’s Hong Kong production and R&D base, students toured the Tong Ren Tang Museum, production plant, observed the production line, and joined a hands-on workshop to experience traditional pharmaceutical craftsmanship first-hand. Students also visited BTRT’s Chinese herbal garden, where they learned about the connection between Chinese medicine, nature and wellness.

Where Heritage meets Innovation and Technology The programme also introduces students to the role of innovation in modern Chinese medicine. During the visit to China Mobile 5G Innovation Centre Hong Kong Open Lab, students explored how 5G, AIoT and AI can support smarter health and wellness scenarios. Back on campus, they learned how connected sensors, communications technology and AI can be applied to Chinese herbal planting, from monitoring growth to collecting, analysing and presenting data.

Turning learning into community impact Student ambassadors also step into the community to serve as health mentors for the elderly, sharing wellness knowledge and supporting simple therapeutic activities such as Ba Duan Jin and acupoint-based care. They transform classroom learning into empathy, service and social responsibility.

Building a long-term platform for youth engagement As BTRT continues to grow in the region, the company sees youth education and cultural engagement as an important part of its long-term vision. The Student Ambassador Programme has now been extended into a long-term initiative, with this year marking its second year of rollout to nurture youngsters’ interest in Chinese medicine and health care.

Following the strong response to last year’s programme, it returns this year with its signature content, enhanced by the new “Campus Herbal Medicine Baizi Cabinet” initiative and visits to BTRT’s herbal garden, where students can learn about the link between Chinese medicine and nature, as well as the wisdom of seasonal wellness and balance. Together, these additions extend the programme’s impact, promote broader knowledge-sharing, and support the passing on of Chinese medicine culture across the campus community.

Guided by the vision of “Inheriting Traditional Chinese Medicine, Inspiring a Smarter Future,” BTRT remains committed to passing on the wisdom of Chinese medicine in ways that resonate with younger generations, while contributing its unique strengths to global health development.

Actively Integrating into China’s Dual Circulation Development Strategy:Junfa–New Luosiwan and SF International Form Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Yunnan’s Role as China’s Gateway to South and Southeast Asia

KUNMING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – On July 20, 2026, Junfa–New Luosiwan and SF International have officially entered into a strategic partnership to jointly develop an Integrated Trade and Logistics Service Platform, marking an important step toward enhancing cross-border trade services and supporting Yunnan’s development as China’s gateway to South and Southeast Asia.

The signing ceremony, themed “Integrated Trade and Logistics, Connecting the World,” was held at the Conference Hall on the second floor of the Central Lake Building of New Luosiwan Commercial Group.

Officials from the Yunnan Provincial Department of Commerce, the Yunnan Provincial Postal Administration, the Kunming Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the Kunming Port and Logistics Office, the Guandu District People’s Government, and other relevant government agencies attended the event. Also present were Mao Zhenwei, Head of the International Business Group of SF Express Group; Li Jun, Founder of Junfa Group; Li Zhenting, Executive Vice President of Junfa Group; as well as representatives of the New Luosiwan Chamber of Commerce and members of the media, who witnessed the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement.

Through the partnership, the two companies will leverage their respective strengths in commercial resources, logistics networks, supply chain services, and digital capabilities to jointly build an integrated trade and logistics service platform. The platform will support merchants in expanding into international markets while extending services to local communities, creating a new commercial ecosystem that integrates domestic and international trade.

Building an Integrated Service Platform to Empower Global Business Expansion

At the ceremony, Shi Fei, Deputy District Governor and Member of the Leading Party Members Group of the Guandu District People’s Government, highlighted the significance of the partnership, describing it as an important example of collaboration between a major commercial marketplace and a global logistics leader. He noted that the cooperation will contribute to the high-quality development of Guandu District’s commercial sector.

Shi said the Guandu District Government will continue providing proactive support and efficient public services to facilitate platform development, industrial growth, market operations, and enterprise development.

Mao Zhenwei, Head of the International Business Group of SF Express Group, said that SF International will leverage its global logistics infrastructure, including 69 international air routes, customs clearance resources across 94 international gateways, freight forwarding and supply chain services covering 95 countries and regions, and an overseas warehouse network totaling 2.55 million square meters, to provide Junfa–New Luosiwan merchants with integrated supply chain solutions.

These services will cover domestic pickup, international transportation, customs clearance, overseas warehousing, and international delivery, helping merchants reduce logistics costs, improve cross-border circulation efficiency, and accelerate global market expansion.

Li Zhenting, Executive Vice President of Junfa Group, said that Yunnan is continuously advancing its role as China’s gateway to South and Southeast Asia, while the China–Laos Railway continues to strengthen regional connectivity and trade cooperation.

As Junfa–New Luosiwan accelerates its transformation from a traditional commercial marketplace into a comprehensive trade service platform, the partnership with SF International will further enhance its cross-border service capabilities and provide merchants with more efficient and convenient one-stop solutions for expanding into international markets.

Developing a Comprehensive Platform Through a Phased Strategy

Witnessed by government officials, business representatives, and industry partners, Junfa–New Luosiwan and SF International officially signed their strategic cooperation agreement.

Centered on merchants’ cross-border business needs, the two parties will adopt a phased implementation approach to continuously enhance the platform’s supply chain service capabilities.

Phase One: Building a Digital Logistics Service Platform

The first phase will focus on establishing a digital logistics service platform featuring online quotations, intelligent rate comparison, transportation capacity matching, real-time shipment visibility, and unified cargo insurance services.

The platform will improve logistics resource allocation, enhance shipping efficiency, increase supply chain transparency, and gradually develop return cargo matching capabilities to improve logistics resource utilization.

Through digital solutions, merchants will gain access to more efficient logistics coordination, greater shipment visibility, and optimized cross-border transportation services.

Phase Two: Creating an End-to-End Cross-Border Trade Service Platform

The second phase will further integrate key services, including product trading, customs declaration and inspection, cross-border payments, overseas warehousing, and international fulfillment.

By building a comprehensive platform covering the entire cross-border trade process, Junfa–New Luosiwan will provide merchants with more convenient and efficient one-stop services, enabling businesses to connect with global markets more effectively through digital solutions.

The platform will help merchants enhance their international operational capabilities and strengthen their competitiveness in global markets.

Expanding Platform Services to Local Communities

While continuing to strengthen cross-border trade services, the platform will further expand into local consumer markets.

During the event, Junfa Qicai Services Group and SF Yunnan signed a separate cooperation agreement.

Having operated in Yunnan for 28 years, Junfa has established an extensive community ecosystem covering more than 100 residential communities. By leveraging Qicai Services’ community resources and SF’s efficient delivery network, the two companies will jointly improve last-mile delivery capabilities and explore a new service model that delivers quality products directly from suppliers to communities.

The initiative will provide merchants with more stable local sales channels while offering residents more convenient and efficient consumption experiences, further enriching the platform’s service ecosystem.

Building a Sustainable Platform Ecosystem to Support Yunnan’s Opening-Up

The strategic cooperation represents an important practice for Junfa–New Luosiwan in improving its modern commercial service system, while also reflecting SF International’s continued commitment to developing cross-border supply chain services in Yunnan.

Moving forward, the two parties will continue deepening cooperation by enhancing the Integrated Trade and Logistics Service Platform, strengthening cross-border trade service capabilities, expanding merchandise circulation channels, and promoting deeper integration of commercial flows, logistics flows, and information flows.

By leveraging Yunnan’s strategic geographic advantages and actively integrating into China’s Dual Circulation development strategy, the partnership will promote two-way connectivity between domestic and international markets, supporting both global expansion and international business cooperation.

The collaboration will further enhance merchants’ ability to access domestic and overseas markets, contribute to Yunnan’s development as China’s gateway to South and Southeast Asia, and support the establishment of a modern commercial circulation system.

Singapore Launches Anchor Professional Services Centre to Help Businesses Expand Across Asia

Source: Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – A Singapore company looking to expand into Vietnam may need a lawyer, accountant, tax adviser, HR consultant and local business connections. Today, businesses often have to find these services one by one, in each market they enter.

A new regional network aims to change that.

The Professional Services (PS) Centre Singapore, officially launched today by Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and National Development, is the latest addition to a growing network of Professional Services Centres that connects businesses with trusted professional expertise across Asia.

Located at Level 2 of ISCA House, the Singapore PS Centre will serve as the anchor hub of the regional network, linking businesses to PS Centres in Hongqiao (Shanghai), Ho Chi Minh City and Nanjing, with Jakarta expected to join later this year. Future centres are also planned in Bangkok, Johor Bahru and Shenzhen.

Rather than building another office, the PS Centre is building something different, a trusted regional network where businesses can access local knowledge, professional expertise and business connections through one coordinated platform.

The initiative is led by the PS Centre Alliance, comprising the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, Institute of Valuers & Appraisers, Singapore Business Federation, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Tax Academy of Singapore, The Law Society of Singapore and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA).

Helping businesses solve real problems
As businesses expand across borders, the challenges they face have become more complex. They are no longer limited to setting up an office or understanding local regulations. Companies today are responding to geopolitical shifts, changing trade policies, supply chain realignment, AI disruption, cyber risks and growing sustainability expectations, while trying to build trusted relationships in unfamiliar markets. No single profession can solve these challenges alone.

The PS Centre brings together professionals from different disciplines, including legal, accounting, tax, corporate secretarial, HR, valuation, sustainability and business consulting, so businesses can access coordinated support instead of approaching each profession separately.

Beyond professional advice, businesses can tap on local business associations, government agencies, chambers of commerce and ecosystem partners connected through the PS Centre network.

More than a networking platform
The Singapore PS Centre will also introduce the Business Growth Clinic, a new initiative where business owners can bring real business challenges to a multidisciplinary panel of professionals.

Whether the challenge is expanding overseas, adopting AI, raising capital, restructuring a business or planning succession, businesses will receive practical guidance and be connected with the right professionals to help move their plans forward.

Early results from the network
Although the network is still in its early stages, businesses are already seeing results. Through the Shanghai PS Centre, Singapore based accounting firm Unity Assurance secured new business opportunities in China and subsequently established a joint venture with a local partner.

The Nanjing PS Centre supported firms such as Morningstar and Fiducia LLP with local business introductions, office setup and talent connections as they expanded into China. In Vietnam, the Ho Chi Minh City PS Centre has supported Singapore businesses such as Koda Ltd and JDI Ventures in navigating different aspects of regional expansion, such as guidance on pressing cross-border matters and local business introductions to support market entry. The Centre has also connected Vietnamese technology companies such as Techvify and Vinova with relevant networks and market insights to support their entry into Singapore.

These examples demonstrate how trusted local networks can shorten the time needed for businesses to enter new markets while reducing uncertainty.

Strengthening Singapore’s position as a trusted business hub
The Singapore PS Centre complements Singapore’s position as a global business and financial hub by extending trusted professional services into key markets across Asia.

As more centres are established, businesses will be able to tap on one connected network instead of building relationships from scratch in every country.

For Singapore professional services firms, it also creates new opportunities to support clients expanding overseas and to build partnerships with firms across the region.

Mr Lee Boon Teck, President, ISCA, said: “Business is becoming increasingly regional, but professional services are still largely organised country by country. Companies expanding overseas often spend months trying to identify trusted advisers and build local networks. The PS Centre network changes that. We are bringing together trusted professional firms, business associations and local partners across Asia, making it easier for businesses to expand with confidence. Our vision is simple. Wherever a business chooses to grow in Asia, there should be a Professional Services Centre ready to support that journey.”

Ms Junie Fo, Vice President & Head, Professional Services, Singapore Economic Development Board, said “Professional services firms play a critical role in helping Singapore-based enterprises navigate the rapidly evolving global business environment. The Singapore PS Centre will provide access to different professional services to support enterprises’ regional growth needs. EDB looks forward to working with members of the PS Centre Alliance to advance the Professional Services ecosystem.”

About the Professional Services Centre
The Professional Services Centre is a collaborative initiative by the PS Centre Alliance to support businesses expanding across borders through trusted professional expertise, local business networks and market access. The network currently spans Singapore, Hongqiao (Shanghai), Ho Chi Minh City and Nanjing, with further expansion planned across Asia and the Middle East.

Sow Fertility’s CEO Recognised as a Tatler Gen.T Leader of Tomorrow 2026 for Closing the Support Gap in Women’s Reproductive Health

Source: Media Outreach

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility, has been named to Tatler Gen.T’s Hong Kong Leaders of Tomorrow 2026, in recognition of her contributions to advancing women’s health, fertility care, and reproductive healthcare across Hong Kong and the broader Asian region.

The award highlights Chan’s commitment to closing the support gap for individuals navigating their fertility, maternity and family-building journeys — journeys that, for too many, are still undertaken without guidance, coordination or workplace understanding.

Originally launched in 2016, Gen.T stands for “Generation Tomorrow”. This year the list celebrates its landmark tenth anniversary, marking a decade of spotlighting the founders, creatives, innovators and changemakers shaping Asia’s future.

Closing the Support Gap

Across Asia, individuals navigating fertility and family-building decisions are often left to face fragmented care systems, opaque costs and deeply personal choices largely on their own — compounded by stigma and silence around these topics. Sow Fertility was built to close that gap: not simply to inform, but to stand alongside members through every stage of the journey.
“When I started Sow Fertility, it came from a simple but deeply personal belief: fertility and reproductive health should not feel confusing, isolating, or impossible to navigate alone,” said Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility.

That belief is embodied in Sow’s Care Companions — dedicated support specialists who guide members one-on-one from early exploration and fertility assessments through treatment, pregnancy and postnatal care. The result is a model where no one has to piece together their own path: the guidance, coordination and emotional support are part of the journey itself.

Destigmatising Fertility and Family Building

Chan’s leadership has also focused on normalising conversations around diverse pathways to parenthood. In many parts of Asia, deeply rooted cultural norms continue to shape perceptions of fertility and family building, often limiting open dialogue — and leaving those on these journeys without the support of their communities and workplaces. Through her advocacy, Chan has worked to create space for more inclusive and transparent conversations — where options such as fertility preservation, assisted reproductive technologies, and non-traditional family structures are understood, respected and supported.

Bringing Support Into the Workplace

For most working adults, the greatest gaps in support appear where they spend most of their time: at work. Working alongside employers, insurers and industry bodies, Sow Fertility partners with organisations to build fertility- and family-building-friendly workplaces — spanning fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and, increasingly, perimenopause and menopause support — so that employees no longer have to navigate treatment cycles, appointments and recovery invisibly and alone.

Chan has also been a vocal advocate for improved reproductive health policies in Hong Kong and across Asia, including expanded access to fertility treatments, greater affordability, and more comprehensive support systems. This recognition underscores the importance of aligning workplace benefits and public policy with the realities of modern family building, where timelines, choices, and pathways are increasingly diverse.

A Growing Movement for Reproductive Equity

Dawn Chan’s recognition as a Leader of Tomorrow reflects not only her individual impact, but also a broader shift toward prioritising women’s health and reproductive rights in the region. Sow Fertility remains committed to building a future where no one navigates their reproductive health journey alone — and where support is accessible, stigma-free, and built into the systems people rely on every day.

Dawn Chan’s full Gen.T profile is available on Tatler Asia, and the complete list of honourees can be viewed on the Tatler Gen.T Hong Kong Leaders of Tomorrow 2026 page.

Strategic collaboration to reinforce Batam’s position as a digital hub connecting Indonesia and Singapore to global markets

BATAM, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin), an operating company of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom), together with BW Digital and the support of Nongsa Digital Park (NDP) as one of strategic partners, today marked a significant milestone in the development of Indonesia’s international digital infrastructure with the successful landing of the Nongsa Changi Cable (NCC) at NDP, Batam.

The NCC cable landing ceremony was also attended by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Airlangga Hartarto, Deputy Prime Minister & Minister for Trade and Industry of The Republic of Singapore Gan Kim Yong, Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore Hotmangaraja Panjaitan, Managing Director Business-2 of Danantara Indonesia Setyanto Hantoro, Deputy Governor Of Batam Nyanyang Haris Pratamura, as well as members of the Boards of Directors of Telkom, Telin, BW Digital, and Nongsa Digital Park.

Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Airlangga Hartarto stated, “Indonesia’s digital transformation needs to be supported by robust physical infrastructure and increasingly strong connectivity. NCC serves as the physical foundation for a new digital corridor connecting Indonesia and Singapore, while further strengthening Batam’s position as Indonesia’s digital gateway. The presence of NCC is expected to reinforce the strategic position of both countries in the global digital ecosystem and value chain, while creating opportunities for greater investment, innovation, and new technology-driven economic activities.”

The Cable Landing Ceremony celebrates the successful deployment of NCC, a strategic subsea cable system that connects Batam and Singapore through one of the shortest and most direct routes across the Singapore Strait. NCC is one of two new Batam–Singapore subsea cable systems developed by Telkom Group, alongside the Indonesia Singapore Cable System (INSICA), to further strengthen digital connectivity between Indonesia and Singapore. As a key segment of the Indonesia Cable Express (ICE) ecosystem, NCC strengthens international connectivity while supporting Indonesia’s ambition to become a leading digital hub in Southeast Asia.

“Strategic investments such as the NCC are fundamental, as strengthening digital sovereignty and infrastructure can serve as a catalyst for innovation, competitiveness, and growth across various industries. This infrastructure is expected to generate a broader economic multiplier effect by driving the growth of industries in Batam and across Indonesia, ultimately contributing to stronger national economic growth and resilience,” said Setyanto Hantoro, Managing Director Business-2 of Danantara Indonesia, during the press conference.

Spanning approximately 50 kilometers and equipped with 24 fiber pairs, NCC is designed to deliver high-capacity, low-latency connectivity to meet the rapidly growing demand for cloud services, hyperscale platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), and data center interconnection across the region. Landed successfully in the latest international cable touch point in Batam, NCC represents a critical milestone toward the system’s operational readiness and reinforces the shared commitment of Government of Indonesia to ensure the development of world-class digital infrastructure in Indonesia.

Beyond enhancing regional connectivity, NCC is expected to accelerate Indonesia’s digital economy by attracting investment in digital infrastructure, supporting the expansion of AI-ready data centers, enabling enterprise digital transformation, and strengthening the resilience and diversity of international network routes between Indonesia and Singapore. The project also reinforces Batam’s position as Indonesia’s strategic digital gateway, creating new opportunities for innovation, business growth, and high-value digital investments.

Dian Siswarini, President Director of Telkom Indonesia, added, “Through the continued development of sustainable digital infrastructure, TelkomGroup is committed to strengthening Indonesia’s digital sovereignty while delivering tangible impact on the growth of the national digital economy. NCC represents a strategic collaboration between Indonesia and Singapore in building a more connected and competitive digital ecosystem. This strategic infrastructure not only strengthens Indonesia’s digital connectivity and resilience, but also provides greater route diversity and enhanced connectivity for Singapore as a regional digital hub, creating mutual benefits for both countries,” Dian concluded.”

Budi Satria Dharma Purba, Director of Wholesale & International Service of Telkom Indonesia, said, “NCC establishes a new digital corridor between Indonesia and Singapore as part of the Indonesia Cable Express ecosystem. Together with future ICE developments, it will strengthen international connectivity, support AI-ready digital infrastructure, and provide greater network resilience for enterprises, hyperscalers, and digital businesses across the region.”

Ludovic Hutier, Chief Executive Officer of BW Digital, stated, “The successful landing of NCC demonstrates the power of strategic partnerships in delivering critical digital infrastructure for Southeast Asia. Together with Telin, we are creating a future-ready connectivity platform that supports the region’s accelerating demand for cloud, AI, and data center services. NCC is also a critical component of BW Digital’s broader digital ecosystem, which includes Citra Connect’s terrestrial fibre network and NDP1 144MW data centre campus in Batam, providing the end-to-end infrastructure our customers need to support their regional expansion.”

Mike Wiluan, Chief Executive Officer at Nongsa Digital Park, added “Today’s cable landing is more than the completion of digital infrastructure, it represents the strengthening of an ecosystem. At Nongsa Digital Park, we are bringing together connectivity, data centers, cloud platforms, AI innovation, digital talent, and global enterprises into one integrated hub. Through our collaboration with TelkomGroup, BW Digital, and the support of both the Indonesian and Singaporean governments, we are creating a gateway that connects Indonesia to Singapore and beyond. Together, we are building the digital bridge that enables Indonesia to play a greater role in the global digital economy. NDP is now officially a new destination point for domestic and international subsea fibre optic cables, and we look forward to welcoming more in the near future.”

As part of the broader Indonesia Cable Express (ICE) initiative, NCC complements TelkomGroup’s long-term strategy to expand international connectivity infrastructure and strengthen Indonesia’s role within the regional digital ecosystem. By combining resilient international networks with the continued growth of digital infrastructure in Batam, the project is expected to support the expansion of cloud services, digital platforms, and emerging technologies that will shape Southeast Asia’s digital future.

The successful cable landing marks another important milestone in realizing a more connected, resilient, and future-ready digital landscape, reaffirming TelkomGroup’s commitment to powering digital growth across the region.

When Festivals Become the Beginning of a Journey: Discover Malaysia at Each Individual’s Pace, with Meaningful Moments Throughout the Trip

Source: Media Outreach

Amari, OZO and Shama invite travellers to discover Malaysia through George Town Festival 2026 and Hari Merdeka — from the charm of Penang’s old town and the energy of Kuala Lumpur to the easy-going rhythm of Johor Bahru — with stays that complete the story of every trip.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – When people think of Malaysia, many may picture the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur’s shopping destinations or short breaks that are easily accessible from Thailand. Yet, beyond these familiar images, Malaysia offers many more sides waiting to be discovered — from historic towns filled with stories, art and culture woven into everyday life, to diverse local flavours and the distinctive atmosphere of each destination. From the charm of George Town in Penang and the energy of Kuala Lumpur to the relaxed pace of life in Johor Bahru, each city offers its own unique experience.

For today’s travellers, a destination is no longer simply a place to reach, but a collection of moments to experience and remember. Whether strolling through an old town filled with art, tasting local cuisine, listening to music amid the atmosphere of a festival or taking time to relax in one’s own way. Festivals enable travellers to discover another side of a destination through its people, culture and celebrations during special moments, transforming a journey into a story that goes beyond simply visiting somewhere new.

In August 2026, Malaysia will offer two significant moments for travellers planning their next journey: George Town Festival 2026, taking place from 1–9 August 2026 in George Town, Penang, and Hari Merdeka, marking Malaysia’s 69th Independence Day. The national celebration will bring an atmosphere of pride, cultural colour and festive activities to cities across the country.

However, the appeal of a journey does not end when the festival concludes. Memorable experiences continue throughout the entire trip — from exploring the city and discovering new perspectives to tasting local cuisine and enjoying quiet moments after a day of adventure. Choosing the right accommodation is therefore an important part of shaping the overall feeling and experience of a journey. A hotel is not simply a place to rest, but a space to recharge, spend time with loved ones and experience each destination more fully and personally.

Understanding that every traveller has different rhythms and needs, ONYX Hospitality Group offers a diverse portfolio of brands to support a variety of travel experiences through Amari, OZO and Shama. The brands cater to different preferences, from travellers who want to explore a city to the fullest and those looking for a comfortable and relaxing break, to guests who wish to spend a longer period living in a destination.

For travellers looking to begin their discovery of Malaysia through art and culture, Penang is an ideal first destination. It is a city where stories from the past blend naturally with contemporary creativity. During George Town Festival 2026, George Town will come alive with art, performances and creative activities that reveal another side of this UNESCO World Heritage city.

For travellers who want to stay close to the colours of George Town and explore the city independently, OZO George Town Penang is an option that makes every moment of the trip easier. Located close to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, guests can conveniently explore street art, try local restaurants and uncover the city’s hidden corners. Recommendations from the OZO Connector team also help guests discover new perspectives on the surrounding area. At the end of the day, they can return to recharge at EAT restaurant and enjoy a restful night’s sleep through the Quality Sleep concept, ready to experience the city again the following day.

Meanwhile, Amari SPICE Penang reflects the distinctive identity of the Amari brand through contemporary Thai-inspired hospitality, thoughtfully blended with the atmosphere and character of the destination. The hotel offers a full-service experience for travellers seeking comfort, relaxation and convenience. Its location is directly connected to SPICE Convention Centre and SPICE Arena, venues that regularly host international events. After a day spent exploring the festival or discovering the city, guests can recharge at Breeze Spa or enjoy time together over a meal at Amaya Food Gallery, which offers a relaxed, street-food-market-inspired atmosphere.

As Hari Merdeka approaches, Kuala Lumpur reveals another side of Malaysia through its celebratory atmosphere, particularly in the city centre, where history, culture and the rhythm of metropolitan life come together. From iconic landmarks and event spaces to the city’s diverse neighbourhoods, each area reflects the colours and energy of this special occasion.

For travellers looking to experience the energy of the capital, Amari Kuala Lumpur is located in the heart of KL Eco City and is directly connected to the city’s main rail network, making it easy to explore Kuala Lumpur. Whether travelling to experience the celebrations, visit key landmarks or discover the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods, guests can return to a warm and welcoming atmosphere while enjoying the distinctive dining, beverage and service experiences for which Amari is known.

Another side of Malaysia well worth discovering is Johor Bahru, a city that is ideal for travellers who want to combine moments of celebration with a more relaxed holiday experience, including shopping, family activities and onward journeys to nearby destinations.

Amari Johor Bahru is located in the heart of the city on Jalan Wong Ah Fook, surrounded by shopping destinations, restaurants and the colours of urban life. It is well suited to travellers who want to explore the local atmosphere before returning to relax in spacious accommodation and recharge at Breeze Spa.

For families or travellers looking to spend longer in a destination, Shama Suasana Johor Bahru brings “The Joy of Living” concept to life through a serviced apartment experience that gives guests the freedom to live at their own pace. Designed to feel like home, the property features spacious accommodation, living areas and fully equipped kitchens, allowing guests to maintain their familiar routines, enjoy their favourite activities and spend quality time with loved ones, even while staying in a new destination.

The property also offers privacy, flexibility and convenience for both short and extended stays. Located above Zenith Mall, it makes it easy for guests to explore the city, shop or experience the local way of life.

Meanwhile, OZO Medini Malaysia is another option for groups of friends and families looking to add more fun to their journey. Located in the Medini area, close to LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort and with convenient connections to Singapore, the hotel is ideal for trips that combine relaxation, activities for all ages and opportunities to discover new experiences within a single journey.

More than simply a destination close to Thailand and easy to reach, Malaysia is a country that travellers can return to and rediscover at different times of the year — from art in historic towns and national celebrations to local cuisine, cafés, shopping districts and relaxing moments after a day of exploration.

Festivals become more than just a reason to travel; they serve as a gateway to experiences filled with people, stories, culture and memorable moments that unfold throughout the journey, waiting for each traveller to discover in their own way.

On the occasion of its 60th anniversary, ONYX Hospitality Group continues to bring its “More of What You Love” philosophy to life through its portfolio of hotels, restaurants, bars and spas. The Group remains committed to creating memorable travel experiences that respond to the needs of today’s travellers and enhance every journey, regardless of how they choose to travel.

TELOSIN Introduces “The Dual Transformation,” Pairing Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue with the New Lumiactive Collection

Source: Media Outreach

The new skincare system brings together FDA-cleared, NASA-inspired light technology, complementary formulations and award-winning patented design by Karim Rashid, following a Hong Kong launch attended by more than 2,000 guests

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – TELOSIN has introduced “The Dual Transformation,” a new approach to personalised at-home skincare built around two dedicated light-based beauty devices—the Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue—and the complementary Lumiactive Collection.

The launch brings together advanced light-based technology, targeted skincare formulations and award-winning patented design created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid.

Rather than incorporating multiple generalised modes within a single device, TELOSIN developed two distinct devices and two dedicated skincare pathways.

Y PRO Red is designed for a rejuvenation-focused skincare routine, supporting the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance.

Y PRO Blue is designed for routines focused on blemish-prone, oily or visibly unsettled skin.

The devices combine FDA-cleared technology with light-based innovation inspired by scientific developments associated with NASA research.

Introducing the Lumiactive Collection

The Y PRO devices are accompanied by the new Lumiactive Collection, comprising:

  • LUMIRED Red LED Treatment Gel
  • LUMIBLUE Blue LED Treatment Gel
  • Blue Light Defense Cream

Together, the devices and complementary formulations establish TELOSIN’s connected Prepare, Treat, Protect approach to skincare.

The dedicated Lumiactive treatment gels are designed to prepare the skin for the corresponding Y PRO routine, while Blue Light Defense Cream completes the ritual as part of the brand’s wider daily skincare approach.

By developing the devices and formulations as one connected collection, TELOSIN aims to make advanced light-based skincare easier to understand, personalise and incorporate into regular at-home routines.

The result is a complete ecosystem built around two targeted transformations: a red-light pathway focused on rejuvenation and a blue-light pathway focused on skin clarity and balance.

Scientific Insight Behind TELOSIN

TELOSIN has expanded the scientific conversation surrounding the launch through its expert video series, “The Science Behind Telosin,” available on the brand’s website.

The series features expert perspectives from two medical professionals:

Dr. Omer Wolf, MD, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery and advanced facial aesthetic procedures.

Dr. Uri Berger, MD, a specialist in aesthetic medicine with extensive international medical training and experience.

Through the expert series, TELOSIN provides consumers with accessible information about the principles behind light-based skincare and the evolving relationship between professional aesthetic knowledge, beauty technology and at-home routines.

The inclusion of medical perspectives within the wider educational programme reflects TELOSIN’s commitment to supporting product innovation through informed scientific discussion and responsible consumer education.

Award-Winning Patented Design by Karim Rashid

The Y PRO Red and Y PRO Blue were created in collaboration with Karim Rashid, one of the world’s most recognised contemporary designers.

The devices feature award-winning patented design that combines Rashid’s distinctive visual language with TELOSIN’s advanced beauty technology.

Their fluid silhouettes, individual colour identities and ergonomic forms were developed not simply to contain sophisticated technology, but to transform the devices into desirable contemporary objects that can become a natural part of the user’s daily beauty environment.

The collaboration reflects TELOSIN’s belief that advanced skincare devices should deliver a sophisticated combination of performance, simplicity, comfort and emotional connection.

“The Dual Transformation” Unveiled to More Than 2,000 Guests in Hong Kong

The complete collection was officially presented on 30 June 2026 through “The Dual Transformation,” an immersive launch experience held at WTC Mall in Hong Kong.

The large-scale event welcomed more than 2,000 guests, including consumers, members of the Hong Kong media, influencers, beauty industry professionals and invited partners.

The launch featured internationally acclaimed designer Karim Rashid, MIRROR member Ian Chan, celebrated actress and singer Linda Chung, and Dr. Harvey Ho.

Karim Rashid introduced the creative thinking behind the award-winning patented design of the devices, while Dr. Harvey Ho discussed the different applications and skincare pathways associated with red and blue light technology.

Ian Chan and Linda Chung joined the launch presentation to experience the two routines and demonstrate how the Y PRO devices and complementary Lumiactive formulations can be incorporated into contemporary at-home skincare.

“The Dual Transformation demonstrates that advanced beauty technology does not need to feel clinical or complicated,” said Dr. Harvey Ho.

“By bringing together two dedicated light-based devices with complementary Lumiactive formulations, TELOSIN has created a more focused and intuitive approach to at-home skincare. The distinction between the red and blue light pathways also helps consumers better understand how different technologies can support different skincare needs.”

With more than 2,000 guests attending, the event marked a major public introduction of TELOSIN’s broader product ecosystem: two targeted devices, three complementary skincare formulations and one connected approach to personalised light-based skincare.

A Complete Dual Skincare System

With Y PRO Red, Y PRO Blue and the Lumiactive Collection, TELOSIN is introducing more than two individual beauty devices.

“The Dual Transformation” represents a complete skincare system built around clearly defined objectives, dedicated formulations and award-winning patented design.

It reflects the brand’s wider ambition to make sophisticated light-based technology more personalised, intuitive and accessible, while maintaining the premium design experience expected by contemporary beauty consumers.

SearchInform: A Risky Game – How FIFA World Cup 2026 Led to Mass Corporate Data Leaks

Source: Media Outreach

Experts claim that corporate employees in Southeast Asia are neglecting cybersecurity rules due to their love for football, leading to an increase in fraud cases.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Although the tournament itself took place in North America, Asia’s massive football fan base created the perfect conditions for data leaks.

Fraudsters are capitalizing on football fans by creating fake streaming platforms and malicious Android applications that steal saved passwords and account credentials directly from browsers. Criminals are also setting up fraudulent websites, as well as sending phishing emails to company employees disguised as gifts, promotions, and office betting pools.

During major global events, the corporate security perimeter is under huge stress,” said Francis Yeoh, Country Director at SearchInform Malaysia. “Employees access streaming websites from corporate devices to watch matches live. Traditional network-edge security is insufficient—the real danger comes from the employee side of the fence. Employees could watch a translation on a malware-infested website, they could download streaming applications with hidden malware, or use corporate credentials to register for fraudulent giveaways.”

According to Group-IB and the FBI, from August 2025 to June 2026, more than 4,300 fake websites were registered fully mimicking FIFA interfaces, ticketing systems, streaming platforms, and World Cup employment portals.

How Organizations Can Reduce Cyber Risks During Football Season

  • Monitor the use of corporate devices. Remind employees that corporate workstations should not be used for personal purposes, including streaming, downloading unofficial apps, or visiting suspicious websites. This measure alone can help reduce exposure to many malware threats.
  • Strengthen password security. Monitor risky password practices, as some employees may reuse corporate credentials for personal services. If one of these services is compromised, corporate accounts and systems may be put at risk as well.
  • Enforce multi-factor authentication. Apply MFA for privileged employees on a regular basis and temporarily strengthen authentication requirements for remote employees during high-risk periods. This provides an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
  • Monitor data access patterns. Track who accesses critical information, from where, and monitor its transmission to prevent data loss. Make sure protection also covers cloud services, as corporate data is no longer limited to on-premises storage.
