HUALIEN, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2026 – Hualien, a destination on Taiwan’s east coast known internationally for its mountain and ocean scenery, will host its major annual music event, the 2026 Hualien Moon-Met Indigenous Voices Concert, on September 26 and 27.

A Gift from Nature: Hualien’s Mountains, Coastline and Indigenous Culture

With the towering gorges of Taroko National Park, the blue Pacific coastline and a pleasant climate throughout the year, Hualien has long been a first choice for international travelers exploring Taiwan’s natural scenery. In addition to its natural landscapes, Hualien has a rich Taiwanese Indigenous cultural heritage. This year’s concert is combined with an Indigenous-themed market, allowing visitors from abroad to explore the mountains, coastline and Indigenous communities during the day, then walk in the moonlight in the evening, sample local night market food and try Indigenous handicrafts, with music and nature as the backdrop.

A Full Second Half of the Year: A Different Theme Each Month

As autumn sets in, Hualien is presenting a series of international themed events in the second half of the year, inviting travelers from around the world to experience Hualien in every season:

• September – Moon-Met Indigenous Voices Concert: Artists from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan come together for an international concert celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
• October – Indigenous Culture and K-Pop Crossover Festival: Continuing the momentum, October brings a crossover concert that combines traditional Taiwanese Indigenous culture with Korean pop music (K-pop), bringing together striking visuals and sound.
• November – Hualien Pacific Hot Spring Festival: With winter approaching, the Hot Spring Festival in November invites visitors to enjoy Hualien’s high-quality natural hot springs and relax in a mountain setting for a restorative break.
• December – Hualien Pacific Tourism Festival (New Year’s Eve Concert): The final major event of the year, Hualien’s New Year’s Eve celebration attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually and is an excellent opportunity for international travelers to experience New Year’s Eve in Taiwan.

An Ideal Destination for International Travelers: Countdown Celebrations and Relaxing Travel

In addition to well-developed tourism facilities and abundant natural and cultural resources, Hualien offers subsidy programs specifically for international travelers, and its range of themed events in the second half of the year provides an excellent opportunity to experience Taiwanese culture in depth. The New Year’s Eve celebration in December is particularly well suited to travelers planning a year-end holiday abroad, offering the chance to welcome the new year amid Hualien’s mountain and ocean scenery and festive atmosphere.

With more than seven decades of experience, MTL has earned dual recognition at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2026 Thailand, organized by Enterprise Asia, with Chief Executive Officer Mr. Sara Lamsam receiving the Master Entrepreneur award and MTL receiving the Corporate Excellence award.

With more than 33 years of experience in Thailand’s life insurance industry, Mr. Sara Lamsam has played a significant role in shaping MTL’s transformation while contributing to the wider development of Thailand’s insurance sector. His leadership philosophy is rooted in continuous learning, cross-domain expertise, and the belief that sustainable growth must ultimately create meaningful value for customers and society.

Under his leadership, MTL achieved a historic milestone in 2025, recording a net profit exceeding 10 billion Baht for the first time in the company’s history. The company also recorded 10% year-on-year growth in New Business Premium, driven in part by a 249% increase in Investment-Linked products and 24% growth in individual Critical Illness coverage.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2026 – In an industry where trust, comfort, and personal connection matter as much as clinical expertise, COSDENT Company Limited has built a distinctive brand around one simple belief: technology should make care more human. By combining digital dentistry, artificial intelligence, design thinking, and empathetic consultation, COSDENT has created a patient experience where every smile is designed with the individual rather than prescribed to them. This commitment has earned the company the Inspirational Brand category recognition at the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2026 Thailand, organized by Enterprise Asia.

Founded in Bangkok in 2014, COSDENT is a premium dental healthcare provider specialising in cosmetic and digital dentistry. Drawing on four generations of dental expertise and the founder’s background in architecture and urban design, the company developed COSDENT Smile Design, a diagnostic methodology that considers not only teeth but also smile patterns, speech, gestures, and personal identity. This approach enables patients to participate actively in designing treatments suited to their lifestyle and personality.

Technology is central to the COSDENT experience, but never at the expense of human expertise. Through digital smile previews, preference-based planning, and its Smart AI Consultation, patients can better understand their options before treatment. The system analyses symptoms, medical history, and preferences to recommend the appropriate specialist with 96% accuracy, allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to diagnosis, complex treatment, and meaningful conversations with patients.

This philosophy became particularly important during a major internal disruption in late 2024, when several key production and development team members departed simultaneously. Rather than simply replacing roles, COSDENT redesigned its operations around AI and automation. The transition preserved patient care while enabling the organisation to encode its protocols, service standards, and operational knowledge into its systems. As a result, employees from diverse backgrounds—including hospitality, retail, and design—can enter healthcare roles while maintaining consistent service standards.

The transformation has delivered measurable results. Integrated automation improved operational efficiency by 70%, while clinicians gained 40% more time for complex treatment. International patient acquisition increased by 55%, team satisfaction rose by 45%, and the company’s FY2025 revenue grew 23.3% to THB 110.5 million, accompanied by an 18.1% increase in net profit.

With its vision to bring AI-enhanced, human-centred care across Asia by 2030, COSDENT is preparing to expand its digital ecosystem, open-talent model, and international patient services. By proving that innovation can create more meaningful human interactions rather than replace them, COSDENT continues to demonstrate how a purpose-driven brand can transform both healthcare experiences and the future of service excellence.

JustCo brings its premium flexible workspace experience to Bangkok’s emerging Ratchada–Huai Khwang–Rama 9 business corridor with the launch of JustCo Jubilee Prestige Tower on 30 September 2026

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2026 – JustCo Holdings Limited (“JustCo” or the “Company“, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group“), a leading Singapore-grown flexible workspace operator with an extensive Asia Pacific network, today announced a new opening in Bangkok. As Bangkok’s business landscape continues to evolve, competition among office buildings is increasingly being shaped by more than location alone. Businesses are placing greater emphasis on building quality, workplace standards and the convenience, comfort and overall experience they can offer their employees.

Recognising this shift, JustCo is making its first move beyond Bangkok’s traditional CBD with the launch of JustCo Jubilee Prestige Tower in Huai Khwang on 30 September 2026.

Located on the 24th floor of Jubilee Prestige Tower, approximately 200 metres from MRT Huai Khwang, the new 1,199 sqm centre places JustCo at the heart of the rapidly developing Ratchada–Huai Khwang–Rama 9 corridor. The area is emerging as a well-connected business destination for companies seeking a high-quality alternative to established office districts such as Silom, Sathorn and Rama4.

Its move into Huai Khwang reflects the company’s continued commitment to expanding its network into high-potential business districts where demand for premium flexible workspace is growing.

Raising the Bar for Flexible Workspace in Huai Khwang

For businesses moving into emerging districts, flexibility should not mean compromising on workplace quality.

According to Knight Frank, non-CBD locations are increasingly driving Bangkok’s office market, with the Phetchaburi–Rama 9–Ratchada corridor recording the highest office occupancy among non-CBD submarkets at 83% in Q1 2026. The trend reflects growing demand for high-quality office buildings outside the traditional CBD, particularly where accessibility and employee convenience remain strong.

As more companies establish a presence in the area, businesses are looking for higher-quality offices, stronger professional environments, elevated employee experiences, and greater flexibility. Jubilee Prestige Tower is positioned to meet these changing expectations by bringing workspace, hospitality, and lifestyle together into one integrated destination.

“Bangkok is evolving, and so is where businesses choose to work. We see strong potential in Huai Khwang, Ratchada and Rama 9, where demand for quality office space is growing,” said Mr. Kong Wan Long, Chief Commercial Officer, JustCo. “With Jubilee Prestige Tower, we are bringing the JustCo experience to a new business community — combining a strategic location, premium design, professional service and the flexibility to support businesses as they grow. We are raising the standard for flexible workspace in this part of Bangkok.”

Developed by Asset World Corporation (AWC), Thailand’s leading developer of integrated lifestyle destinations, the building redefines the traditional office experience by extending the Co-living concept from The Empire Tower into a single destination where work, hospitality, and lifestyle meet. It stands as the only office on Ratchadapisek Road offering tenants access to 5-star hotel services and exclusive privileges.

Completing this workplace ecosystem, JustCo provides a full spectrum of flexible office solutions, ranging from standard fitted spaces and semi-fitted units to fully furnished, move-in-ready offices. This allows companies of all sizes, from growing teams to full-floor occupiers, to scale seamlessly within a single destination.

Where Thai Heritage Meets the Modern Workplace

In collaboration with Asset World Corporation (AWC), JustCo’s workspace at Jubilee Prestige Tower has been thoughtfully designed to reflect both modern workplace needs and Thailand’s rich cultural identity.

The centre’s interior draws inspiration from Thai textiles and traditional craftsmanship, reinterpreted through a contemporary workplace aesthetic. The result is a distinctive setting that honors local heritage while delivering the sophisticated, hospitality-inspired experience JustCo is known for across Asia.

The centre offers a full suite of flexible solutions, including private offices, hot desks, meeting rooms, phone booths and collaborative zones. Members enjoy the signature service standards of a fully managed JustCo space, alongside access to an expansive network spanning 14 key cities across Asia.

This new Huai Khwang location is in line with the Group’s expansion plan as stated in its recent IPO plans when it listed on the Singapore Exchange Mainboard earlier this year. As at June 2026, the Group has 57 operational centres, with a further 21 in the committed pipeline.

Pre-Leasing Now Open Ahead of 30 September Launch

JustCo Jubilee Prestige Tower opens on 30 September 2026, with pre-leasing and special introductory rates now available.

To book a private tour or enquire, visit JustCo Jubilee Prestige Tower or call 02-039-5990.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2026 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, projects that organisations across Southeast Asia are budgeting for salary increases of 5.2% in 2027, up from 5% in 2026 according to findings from its 2026 Salary Increase and Turnover Study for Southeast Asia.

Overall, Indonesia and Vietnam are expected to record the highest salary increases in the region at 5.5% and 6.7% respectively. At the industry level, projected salary increases vary across markets reflecting differing economic conditions, labour market dynamics and sector-specific demand across the region. The retail and hospitality industry is expected to have the highest increase in Singapore at 4.8%, while the life sciences and medical devices industry leads in Malaysia at 5.2%, Thailand, at 5.3% and Vietnam at 7.7%. The consulting, business and community services industry leads in the Philippines at 6.7%.

“Boardrooms face important decisions on how to allocate investment in technology and talent while navigating an uncertain environment fraught with emerging and interconnected risks,” said Rahul Chawla, Partner and Head of Talent Solutions, Southeast Asia, Aon. “Persistent inflation and ongoing skill shortages are directing investments toward the roles and skills that will drive returns on their broader business investments. While competitive pay remains important, organisations must also consider the broader employee value proposition including growth opportunities, purpose and career development to create opportunities for long-term organisational growth.”

Despite continued investment in talent, employee turnover remains a challenge across the region.

Attrition rates across all countries in the region were in double digits. Malaysia has the highest turnover rate at 17.4%, followed by the Philippines at 17.3% and Singapore at 16.8%. Attrition rates also vary by industry, with the consulting, business and community services industry having the highest attrition rate at 21.5%, followed by manufacturing at 17.9% and financial services at 17.7%.

Findings from Aon’s 2026 Southeast Asia Talent Pulse Survey show that organisations are reallocating talent towards strategic business priorities. For companies with expansion plans, headcount growth is selective, with a focus on front-office roles (50%, including sales and revenue-generating roles) and engineering and technology roles (35%), while reductions will be targeted mainly at back-office operations roles among organisations with headcount contraction plans. The most in-demand roles are data and AI roles, at 64%, followed by front-office roles, at 56%, cybersecurity roles, at 44%, software and cloud roles, at 43%, including positions such as software and cloud engineers and project and programme management roles, at 41%.

“Workforce decisions have never been more complex, making access to reliable and defensible data essential for organisations,” said Belinda Armenta, Head of Talent Data Solutions, Asia Pacific, Aon. “With AI accelerating change across industries, organisations are seeking deeper intelligence beyond historical benchmarks. Insights into compensation trends, workforce movements and talent risks enable leaders to make more informed decisions, helping them attract, retain and plan for the talent they need.”

Aon conducted its 2026 Salary Increase and Turnover Study for Southeast Asia from July to September 2026, analysing the salary increase budgets and employee turnover rates among more than 1,200 businesses across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Reflecting the growing influence of Galaxy Macau’s culinary programme, the integrated resort has partnered with Tencent Video’s acclaimed culinary competition series Chef of China – Season 2, as a bridge to showcase Macau’s unique identity as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.

As part of the programme, chefs Menex Cheung and Antonio Au embarked on a culinary journey across Galaxy Macau, exploring the city’s distinctive East-meets-West food culture while exchanging ideas with the resort’s acclaimed culinary talents.

Empowering global enterprises across software, electronics, logistics, gaming, IT and entertainment to enhance efficiency and accelerate innovation through full-stack cloud and AI solutions.

HANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 September 2026 – Alibaba Cloud, a leading global provider of AI infrastructure and the intelligence backbone of Alibaba Group, today announced its latest global infrastructure expansion plan at the 2026 Apsara Conference, alongside a series of new AI capabilities designed to help enterprises build, deploy and scale AI applications more efficiently. The technology company has also announced its comprehensive collaboration with global enterprises including Panasonic Digital, Unity China, Lion Parcel, Loomi Entertainment Group and SHAKE to accelerate enterprise innovation via its advanced AI and cloud technologies.

Over the next 12 months, Alibaba Cloud will establish its first cloud regions in Türkiye, Finland and the Netherlands, while expanding its data center footprint in Malaysia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, France and Hong Kong. The expansion will further increase Alibaba Cloud’s global computing capacity and strengthen its ability to provide localized cloud and AI services to customers across key markets. The cloud leader currently operates 107 availability zones in 31 regions around the world.

“As Alibaba Cloud has advanced from AI-native infrastructure to an Agent-Native Cloud architecture, AI is also moving rapidly from experimentation to real-world deployment, creating demand for both scalable infrastructure and more accessible AI capabilities,” said Dr. Feifei Li, Chief Technology Officer and President of International Business of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. “We are expanding our global cloud footprint to bring computing resources closer to customers and partners, while continuing to evolve our AI technologies to help enterprises deploy models, optimize multi-model workloads and create new AI-powered applications. At the same time, our growing ecosystem of customers and partners demonstrates how these capabilities can translate into tangible business value across industries and markets. We are committed to working closely with our global ecosystem to make AI more scalable, practical and accessible for businesses.”

At the conference, Alibaba Cloud launched three new AI solutions to help international businesses build and scale production-grade applications. Smart Studio, an out-of-the-box product designed to help businesses build dedicated Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms in minutes. It provides everything needed to package, price, meter, and bill model APIs under their own brand. Its advanced inference architecture delivers up to 505% higher throughput than standard open-source frameworks on the same hardware.

Smart Fusion serves as an intelligent engine that helps users and businesses achieve state-of-the-art model performance at low cost through a unified standard model API. The engine supports multi-model collaboration within one task, selecting the best-suited available models to work together by analyzing real-time dimensions. By abstracting multi-model deployment into a single endpoint, it can help reduce token spending by around 50%.

Smart Video is an AI video agent designed for short-drama studios and advertisers to automatically create videos up to one hour long. With a single prompt, creators can turn an idea into a finished cut, while continuously refining it through natural language. The platform supports multiple video models, including Wan, and offers seamless support for more than 20 languages.

Turning AI Innovation into Real-World Impact

Alibaba’s cloud and AI technologies are helping customers and partners across industries address diverse business needs, from digital transformation and enterprise applications to logistics, gaming and AI-powered content creation. Through collaborations with enterprises including Panasonic Digital, Unity China, Lion Parcel, Loomi Entertainment Group and SHAKE, Alibaba Cloud is enabling businesses to enhance efficiency, accelerate innovation and explore new opportunities with cloud and AI.

Panasonic Digital (Shanghai) has partnered with Alibaba Cloud to accelerate its comprehensive digital and AI transformation. Leveraging Alibaba Cloud’s Bailian (Model Studio) to securely access the Qwen models, alongside advanced data management tools like DataWorks, MaxCompute, and Hologres, Panasonic has built a custom capability hub that powers specialized AI agents across manufacturing, supply chain, and corporate functions.

This collaboration has delivered significant operational benefits. It has achieved an 80% reduction in documentation time through automated meeting minutes, a 10-fold increase in contract review efficiency using the “Smart Compare” agent, and enhanced data-driven decision-making by empowering non-technical staff to perform complex inventory analyses using natural language—all while ensuring strict data security and compliance through Alibaba Cloud’s robust governance features.

“We are very grateful for our strategic collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, which has been instrumental in accelerating Panasonic Digital’s enterprise-wide AI transformation. By seamlessly integrating their world-class AI models and robust data infrastructure into our operations, we have successfully moved beyond isolated IT optimizations to build a highly scalable, secure, and unified intelligence platform,” said Yueming Li, Head of GenAI Innovation & Workforce, Panasonic Digital (Shanghai).

Unity China, a leading game engine and real-time 3D development platform that operates the Tuanjie Engine, has leveraged Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio to deploy Qwen and third-party foundation models for Tuanjie AI-Codely, its AI-native engineering platform. Unity is a leading game engine and real-time 3D development platform. The platform streamlines production-scale game development by automating mission-critical workflows, including code comprehension, real-time editing, and debugging, while supporting cross-team collaboration.

“Game development is becoming increasingly complex, and our goal with Tuanjie AI is to remove technical friction so creators can focus on innovation and gameplay,” said Junbo Zhang, CEO of Unity China. “Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio and the Qwen model family provide the performance, flexibility, and low latency our developers require. By integrating these advanced AI capabilities directly into the development pipeline, we are enabling studios to debug, iterate, and bring ambitious game projects to life faster than ever before.”

Lion Parcel, a leading Indonesian logistics and delivery provider, has leveraged Alibaba’s Qwen model to improve its finance and document processing workflows. To eliminate time-consuming and error-prone manual data transcription, Lion Parcel deployed the Qwen-VL-Plus model through Alibaba’s Model Studio platform to automate routine workflows. Supported by Alibaba Cloud’s fully managed platform and predictable pay-per-token pricing, Lion Parcel has significantly accelerated processing efficiency, maximized data accuracy, and established a centralized digital repository that boosts overall business scalability.

“Alibaba Cloud’s OCR solution powered by Qwen helped us accelerate Document Order processing in Finance. It’s improving accuracy while saving both time and operational costs,” said Probosetyo Krishna, Head of IT, Lion Parcel.

Loomi Entertainment Group (LEG), a Malaysia-based entertainment company, has partnered with Alibaba Cloud to accelerate the adoption of AI-generated content (AIGC) among creators and businesses in Malaysia and the wider region. LEG has integrated Alibaba ‘s visual generation models, including Wan and HappyHorse through Model Studio, into Imaginary, its proprietary cinematic AI engine. The integration enables high-quality video and visual generation, streamlines content production workflows, and helps reduce production costs. Additionally, the two companies have hosted two AIGC hackathons and trained more than 100 local content creators through online and offline workshops, providing creators with practical exposure to the latest generative AI tools and applications. Alibaba Cloud and LEG are also exploring the use of Wan in Loomi’s micro-drama production pipeline, alongside joint go-to-market initiatives and talent development programmes.

“Alibaba Cloud’s advanced AI models give creators new ways to turn ideas into engaging content more efficiently. Through this partnership, we look forward to bringing AIGC capabilities to more creators in Malaysia and the wider region, while exploring new possibilities for AI-powered content production,” said Ivan Tan, CTO of Loomi Entertainment Group.

Asked for a personal example, four in ten PSLE English oral practice answers give none, study finds

Key findings:

• When a question asked for a personal example, four in ten English answers did not give one.
• Asked for an opinion, 96 per cent of English answers gave a reason.
• In Chinese, 78 per cent of answers to personal-example questions gave one; the two languages are not directly comparable as the questions are different.
• More than a quarter of all practice sessions took place in the four days before the oral examinations began on 12 August.
• 8pm was the busiest hour for practice.

The main finding concerns questions such as “Have you ever…” and “Tell me about a time…”. Four in ten English answers to them stayed general: what the child usually does, or what people should do, without describing a specific experience of their own.

The problem is not that children cannot explain themselves. Almost every opinion answer gave a reason. What went missing was the child’s own experience, and that is part of what the oral paper assesses. In the PSLE English oral, the conversation section carries 25 of the 40 marks, and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) lists expressing “personal opinions, ideas and experiences” among its assessment objectives. In August, SEAB said the oral assesses communication skills, and that pupils are “not expected to reproduce … pre-prepared responses”.

Here is the same question answered two ways. Asked “Do you enjoy eating at hawker centres? Tell me about a time you went”, a general answer says: “Yes, I enjoy hawker centres because the food is cheap and tasty.” A specific answer says: “Yes, because there is so much choice. Last month my grandmother took me to the Bedok hawker centre and I tried chee cheong fun for the first time. I did not like the sauce, so she laughed and bought me chicken rice instead.” Both give a reason. Only the second describes a particular visit. The examples were written by PSLEPrep to illustrate the point; they are not children’s transcripts.

“Children have learned to say ‘because’. What they often leave out is the moment that makes the answer their own, and that is one of the things the examiner is listening for,” said Paul Whiteway, founder of PSLEPrep. “The most useful question a parent can ask is a simple one: when did that actually happen?”

Practice also bunched up before the exam. More than a quarter of all sessions in the three months began in the four days before the oral examinations started on 12 August. The busiest hour of the day was 8pm.

“At 8pm on a school night, a child can practise answering aloud with a patient examiner, and get feedback straight away,” said Mr Whiteway. “AI does not replace a good teacher. It gives children more chances to speak between lessons.”

The analysis used de-identified transcripts and reports only aggregated findings; no child is named or identifiable. The children are a self-selected group, so the findings describe children practising on the platform, not Singapore children as a whole. The full report at https://psleprep.sg/findings sets out the method and limitations and carries a chart free for editorial use.

PSLEPrep was founded by Mr Whiteway, a Singapore-based parent who does not speak Chinese and began using AI voice practice to help his son with spoken Mandarin at home. Its AI oral examiner runs a full PSLE oral practice session in either language and gives feedback and a score on each session, explained in plain English. The oral paper carries 20 per cent of the PSLE English grade and 25 per cent of the Chinese grade. PSLEPrep was named in The Straits Times in May 2026 among AI tools for PSLE oral preparation.
