Inisiatif gabung sokongan segera dan pelaburan berterusan bagi membantu pertumbuhan mampan perniagaan, sambil mengekalkan akses serta nilai untuk pengguna

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 April 2026 – Shopee, platform e-dagang terbesar di Asia Tenggara dan Taiwan serta antara platform e-dagang terkemuka di Brazil, hari ini mengumumkan pelancaran Shopee Lindung Niaga, satu inisiatif bernilai RM150 juta yang direka untuk menyokong perusahaan mikro, kecil dan sederhana (PMKS) Malaysia melalui langkah-langkah praktikal meliputi penghantaran, modal kerja dan pemenuhan pesanan.

Inisiatif ini mencerminkan pendekatan seimbang dalam menyokong pengguna dan PMKS ketika berdepan persekitaran operasi yang semakin mencabar. Dengan menggabungkan sokongan segera serta pelaburan berterusan dalam alat dan infrastruktur yang menjadi sandaran perniagaan, Shopee berhasrat membantu memperkukuh ketahanan perniagaan dalam jangka panjang, di samping memastikan akses dan nilai yang konsisten untuk pengguna.

Dalam usaha perniagaan menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan semasa, Shopee Lindung Niaga memberi tumpuan bagi membantu PMKS mengekalkan operasi dalam tempoh terdekat sambil melabur dalam keupayaan yang diperlukan untuk terus berdaya saing.

“Shopee Lindung Niaga direka untuk menyediakan sokongan praktikal pada masa dan tempat yang paling diperlukan,di samping kami terus melabur dalam sistem dan alat yang menjadi sandaran perniagaan kecil untuk terus beroperasi dan berkembang, ,” kata Ian Ho, Naib Presiden, Shopee Malaysia.

“Pada masa sama, penting untuk pengguna terus mempunyai akses kepada barangan keperluan secara konsisten dan boleh dipercayai. Kedua-duanya penting dalam memastikan ekosistem yang sihat dan seimbang.”

Merangsang Aktiviti Jual Beli

Di bawah pakej Shopee Lindung Niaga bernilai RM150 juta ini, Shopee menyediakan sokongan bersasar kepada pengguna dan PMKS tempatan yang layak menerusi tiga teras strategik:

1. Menyokong aktiviti transaksi melalui langkah sokongan bersasar: Shopee memperkukuh sokongan terhadap aktiviti jual beli melalui gabungan inisiatif logistik dan langkah bersasar bagi kategori produk utama.

• Langkah pertama ialah pengenalan baucar penghantaran percuma tanpa pembelian minimum, yang membantu mengekalkan akses kepada keperluan harian serta menggalakkan aktiviti pembelian. Ini seterusnya membantu mengekalkan permintaan dan menyokong penjual dalam mengekalkan kadar penukaran jualan.
• Sokongan tambahan turut disediakan bagi barangan bersaiz besar dan bernilai tinggi seperti perabot dan peralatan rumah. Melalui sokongan baucar khusus untuk kategori ini, Shopee membantu mengimbangi kos penghantaran yang lebih tinggi serta memudahkan urusan penghantaran yang lebih kompleks.
• Ini menjadikan pembelian barangan besar lebih mudah diakses oleh pengguna, sambil membolehkan penjual dalam segmen ini memenuhi permintaan dan menjangkau pelanggan dengan lebih berkesan.

2. Memperluas akses kepada modal kerja: Pembiayaan kekal sebagai pemangkin penting bagi PMKS. Melalui kerjasama dengan Monee, Shopee memperluas akses kepada penyelesaian modal kerja termasuk SLoan for Sellers dan Quick Funds.

• Modal pertumbuhan melalui SLoan for Sellers: Kemudahan ini direka untuk memudahcara lebih RM5 juta pembiayaan penjual, termasuk subsidi kadar faedah 100 peratus bagi ansuran pertama untuk pengguna baharu, bagi menyokong pengisian semula stok dan peluasan perniagaan yang lebih tangkas.
• Akses dana segera melalui Quick Funds: Penjual baharu turut ditawarkan diskaun 50 peratus ke atas yuran pendahuluan serta percubaan percuma selama 20 hari, sekali gus memberi akses segera kepada pendapatan mereka untuk membantu mengurus aliran tunai.

3. Memperkukuh keupayaan pemenuhan untuk operasi lebih fleksibel: Shopee turut memperluas akses kepada Fulfilled by Shopee (FBS), membolehkan lebih ramai penjual memanfaatkan sokongan pergudangan dan logistik yang membantu meningkatkan kecekapan operasi.

• Percubaan Percuma Fulfilled by Shopee (FBS) Selama Enam Bulan: Penjual yang layak berpeluang mengakses sokongan FBS tanpa kos bagi tempoh 6 bulan, sekaligus meningkatkan fleksibiliti dalam pengurusan kos operasi serta memperluas skala perniagaan, khususnya ketika tempoh puncak. Ini membolehkan penjual memberi lebih tumpuan kepada pertumbuhan perniagaan sambil mengekalkan konsistensi perkhidmatan.
• Penjual yang menggunakan FBS turut mencatat peningkatan purata sekitar 20 peratus dalam trafik kedai, mencerminkan keterlihatan yang lebih baik serta akses kepada ciri platform yang membantu mereka menjangkau lebih ramai pelanggan.
• Bagi pengguna, ini diterjemahkan kepada penghantaran yang lebih boleh dipercayai serta pengalaman membeli-belah yang lebih lancar.

Bagi penjual yang telah memanfaatkan program-program ini, ia telah membantu menyokong pertumbuhan perniagaan mereka.

Nur Shafiqah Mokhtar, pengasas kedai pakaian kanak-kanak Dashboxx Solutions, berkata: “SLoan membantu kami memperoleh modal tambahan dengan cepat untuk berkembang. Daripada memperlahankan operasi akibat kekangan aliran tunai, kami dapat meningkatkan operasi hampir serta-merta apabila pembiayaan diluluskan dan disalurkan dalam tempoh kurang daripada 24 jam.”

Stephen Beh, pengasas kedai keperluan bayi dan kanak-kanak Moo Baby, berkata: “Baucar penghantaran percuma memberi memberi impak besar kepada kami. Pelanggan lebih cenderung melengkapkan pembelian apabila mereka tidak perlu risau tentang kos penghantaran, khususnya bagi barangan bernilai lebih rendah. Ia membantu meningkatkan penukaran dan melengkapkan pembelian.”

Menyokong Daya Saing Jangka Panjang Melalui Alat Digital dan AI

Selain sokongan segera, Shopee terus melabur dalam alat digital yang membantu penjual meningkatkan kecekapan dan menyesuaikan operasi mereka dari masa ke semasa, termasuk Chat AI Assistant, Product AI Optimiser dan AI Model Try-On, yang membantu penjual menjimatkan masa serta mengurus perniagaan dengan lebih berkesan untuk jangka panjang.

“Perniagaan yang berdaya tahan bukan dibina melalui sokongan jangka masa pendek semata-mata, tetapi juga melalui pelaburan berterusan dalam keupayaan, teknologi dan kerjasama yang membantu perniagaan berkembang untuk jangka masa panjang ,” kata Ho.

The shipment, packed into 11 standard containers, was transported via inland waterways to Weifang Port for transshipment before continuing by sea to the Philippines. As Boxing Port’s first foreign trade operation, this launch provides local enterprises with a more efficient and cost-effective pathway to global markets.

As an inland river port, Boxing Port’s move into international shipping helps ease logistics bottlenecks and supports local industries in integrating into global supply chains. With more international routes in the pipeline and port functions steadily improving, the port is transitioning from a transport node into a regional hub for opening-up.

Looking ahead, Boxing Port will further expand its international shipping network, strengthen collaboration with customs authorities, shipping companies, and regional manufacturers, and promote the regular operation of foreign trade services. These efforts will inject new momentum into the global expansion of advanced manufacturing industries in northern Shandong and the broader Yellow River Basin.

我們於年內新開設 1,126 間門店，創下公司歷來最高紀錄，為未來的持續增長，拓展更堅實的空間。展望 2026 年，我們的首要任務依然明確：獲利增長、卓越營運，以及持續為股東和其他利益相關者創造價值。

This year’s AGM saw members returning to Singapore to attend in person, alongside strong participation from those joining virtually.

A year of reset and strategic investment

In 2025, ISCA recorded its first operating deficit in a decade. This was the result of a deliberate decision to invest in areas that will strengthen the Institute’s long-term value to members and the profession. ISCA continues to maintain a strong financial position, with healthy reserves and a resilient balance sheet.

Rather than maintaining the status quo, ISCA undertook a year of reset and renewal, with spending focused on building stronger capabilities, growing the talent pipeline, expanding into new markets and building new growth engines.

ISCA emphasised that these investments were not made for growth alone, but more importantly, to better support members and provide greater member value in a rapidly evolving business and professional landscape.

Looking ahead, ISCA’s priorities remain clear: to deliver a better member experience, strengthen the talent pipeline and enhance its regional relevance. In 2026, the focus will be on ensuring that these investments translate into tangible and visible outcomes for members.

Expanding opportunities through internationalisation

At the AGM, ISCA Council and management addressed members’ questions on the institute’s plans to expand internationally. ISCA’s regional efforts are aimed at making it easier for members to access opportunities beyond Singapore. For members based in Singapore, this means more job opportunities, potential clients and partnerships across the region. For members based overseas, it means stronger local support and a more connected ISCA network where they live and work. ISCA CEO Ms Fann Kor cited an example of a member who had spent over 20 years building his career in China and was looking to return to Singapore. Through ISCA’s network, he was connected to a listed company seeking deep China experience, creating an opportunity that would otherwise have been difficult to access.

Progress across key areas

Despite being an investment year, ISCA reported progress across several areas:

• Membership grew to 43,500, with 11% growth and a 98.3% renewal rate
• ISCA House recorded 30,000 visits, with member satisfaction at 94%
• Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ) candidate numbers grew by 37%, including 400 overseas candidates
• ISCA expanded its regional footprint to 12 overseas chapters across 9 countries, with 6 overseas offices and 3 Professional Services Centres
• Chartered Accountants Lab (CA Lab) readership reached 39,000, across more than 30 countries
• ISCA developed 8 AI agents and implemented 180 system enhancements to improve access and member experience
• ISCA Academy delivered close to 199,000 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours, while reducing average cost per hour by 6% to $37.70
• ISCA Cares marked its 10-year milestone, disbursing $1.5 million and supporting nearly 500 students
• For the first time, SCAQ is being promoted beyond Singapore, making ISCA the first professional body in Asia to promote our national CA qualification overseas
• The SCAQ was embedded in an overseas university for the first time, at Nanjing University of Finance and Economics

2026 ISCA Council Lineup

The newly-elected Council Members are:

• Mr Alan Chang Chi Hsung, Managing Director, OA Assurance PAC
• Ms Chua Siew Hwi, Senior Vice President, Changi Airport Group
• Mr Quah Zheng Wei, CEO, Accredify Pte Ltd
• Ms Tan Aik Na, Senior Vice President (Administration), Nanyang Technological University
• Ms Yong Zen Yun, Partner, General Assurance Leader, Pricewaterhousecoopers LLP

The re-elected Council Members are:

• Ms Jocelyn Goh Chern Ni, Audit & Assurance Partner, BDO LLP
• Mr Koh Wee Kwang, Director, Nexia Singapore PAC
• Mr Lee Boon Teck, Regional Managing Partner, Audit & Assurance, Deloitte & Touche LLP

The Council also appointed Ms Juliet Teo Juet Sim, Joint Head, Portfolio Development Group and Head, Ecosystem Enablement, Temasek Singapore Pte Ltd. Ms Teo was appointed for her expertise on how the finance profession is evolving in response to changing business models, sustainability priorities and global economic trends.

Office bearers

At the first Council meeting following the AGM, the ISCA office bearers were appointed. Mr Teo Ser Luck, immediate past president, was also appointed as ISCA Adviser.

President: Mr Lee Boon Teck

Vice Presidents:

• Ms Ang Suat Ching
• Ms Jocelyn Goh

Treasurer: Mr Song Yeow Chung

Secretary: Ms Judy Ng

Leadership perspectives

The newly elected ISCA President, Mr Lee Boon Teck, said: “The investments we have made over the past year lay the groundwork for a stronger, more connected profession. Our focus now is to ensure that every member, whether they are starting their career, leading an organisation, or building a practice overseas, can see and feel the difference ISCA makes. I am honoured to lead ISCA at this pivotal moment, and I look forward to working with the Council and our members to build on the strong foundations we have in place.”

ISCA Adviser and immediate past President Mr Teo Ser Luck said: “It has been a great privilege to serve ISCA, our members, and the accountancy sector over the past four years. This journey has been one of the most fulfilling I have ever embarked on. None of it would have been possible without an exceptional Council, a dedicated management team, and members who believed in what we were building together. My sincere appreciation to ISCA and our members for the opportunity to serve.”

ISCA CEO Ms Fann Kor said: “2025 was a year of deliberate investment to strengthen what matters most to our members and to the profession. We invested in the talent pipeline, member support, digital capability and regional connectivity so that ISCA can continue to stay relevant and useful in a changing environment. I would also like to thank Mr Teo Ser Luck for his leadership and contributions over the past four years. Under his stewardship, ISCA made meaningful progress in strengthening the profession, growing the Singapore CA Qualification and expanding our regional footprint. Management looks forward to working closely with the new Council to turn these investments into stronger outcomes and clearer value for members.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Cyberport today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) acting through Thailand Science Park (TSP), to establish a strategic partnership that strengthens innovation and technology (I&T) collaboration between Hong Kong and Thailand.

This marks a significant milestone for both sides since their first collaboration in 2024. The partnership aims to build a collaborative framework between Cyberport and NSTDA acting through TSP, create a reciprocal market-access gateway to facilitate start-ups’ entry into both the Thai and Hong Kong markets through ecosystem support, soft landing initiatives, and cross market collaboration, as well as promote knowledge exchange, industry engagement, and joint initiatives in emerging technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, smart city solutions, and other digital technologies.

Witnessed by Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport and Dr Chularat Tanprasert, Executive Vice President of NSTDA and Director of Thailand Science Park, the MoU was signed by Ir Eric Chan, Chief Public Mission Officer of Cyberport and Professor Dr Sukit Limpijumnong, President of NSTDA.

Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, said, “Cyberport, as Hong Kong’s digital tech hub, AI accelerator and key incubator, supported companies to have expanded to Thailand, the broader ASEAN region along the Belt and Road, and over 35 markets worldwide. NSTDA and Thailand Science Park on our side will add strength to Cyberport’s ever-growing ASEAN alliances, paving the way to Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland companies to take a stronghold in ASEAN markets. We look forward to supporting high-potential companies from Thailand to capitalise on the vast markets in the Greater Bay Area and the wider Chinese Mainland, and global markets. This partnership significantly expands our bilateral collaborations in company soft-landing, ecosystem connection and proof-of-concept initiatives. Together we will continue to serve as a gateway to empower Asian innovators and attract worldwide entrepreneurs, to capitalise on new opportunities for digital economy and smart cities under the AI+ era.”

Professor Dr. Sukit Limpijumnong, President of NSTDA, said, “The collaboration is designed to establish practical mechanisms to support start-ups in expanding internationally, including market entry, industry partnerships, and pilot or proof-of-concept deployments. TSP and Cyberport have been working closely in recent years to support start-up growth, with a notable milestone being the success of Nano Coating Tech, a Thai deep tech start-up specialising in advanced nano coating solutions for industrial applications and solar panels, that successfully got admitted into Cyberport Incubation Programme for funding up to HK$500,000 and comprehensive support,”

NSTDA, as an autonomous government agency, manages Thailand’s leading tech park, Thailand Science Park (TSP). Established in 2002 as Thailand’s first and largest science and technology park, TSP is designed to promote I&T development and R&D activities. NSTDA’s ecosystem is anchored by five national research centres, namely National Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC), National Metal and Materials Technology Centre (MTEC), National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre (NECTEC), National Nanotechnology Centre (NANOTEC), and National Energy Technology Centre (ENTEC).

Alongside these centres, TSP is home to over 120 technology companies, nearly 40 percent of which are international firms. This reflects TSP’s role as a regional R&D hub in ASEAN, trusted by both local and global technology companies that choose Thailand as a base for technology development. This is supported by a strong pool of talent and advanced testing infrastructure that meets international standards.

NSTDA has been a long-standing strategic partner of Cyberport through TSP since 2024. Both sides have co-created programmes, global landing initiatives and webinars, facilitated deep-tech start-ups joining Cyberport Incubation Programme, and facilitated Cyberport start-ups joining TSP for market expansion.

Today’s MoU establishes a framework for joint activities that will support start-ups and technology companies from both Hong Kong and Thailand ecosystems. Key initiatives include:

• Support start-ups and technology companies recommended by either side in exploring market opportunities, establishing presence, and expanding operations within the respective innovative ecosystems.
• Facilitate connection to relevant industry partners, research institutions, and corporate networks to support collaboration, investment opportunities, technology adoption, market entry, and business development expansion.
• Encourage and support participation of start-ups in incubation programmes, entrepreneurship, ecosystem activities, community events organised by both sides.
• Jointly organise and promote seminars, forums, networking activities, and knowledge-sharing initiatives to strengthen collaboration between the two ecosystems.
• Explore and identify opportunities for start-ups to conduct pilot projects, technology demonstrations, or proof-of-concept initiatives with industry partners and prospective end users.

TSP will strengthen this collaboration through the “TSP Scale X Landing Programme” to fast-track international start-ups’ expansion into the Thai market, by connecting them to established partner networks and real industry demand in Thailand, while providing them with access to the country’s research and testing infrastructure.

Leveraging its role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder”, Cyberport continues to expand global partnerships to foster cross-regional growth of technology ecosystems and advance Hong Kong’s innovation on a global stage. In ASEAN, Cyberport has forged strategic collaborations with Indonesia’s Telkom University, Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), as well as Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), apart from alliances in the Middle East, East Asia and North America, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as an international I&T hub.
