  • Celebrate, Rest, and Recharge This Raya With XIXILI’s Sleepwear Collection

    Celebrate, Rest, and Recharge This Raya With XIXILI’s Sleepwear Collection

    KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 March 2026 – Comfort is set to be a defining theme for Raya 2026, and it extends well beyond the festive outfit. XIXILI is bringing that same ease into the downtime between celebrations, with sleepwear designed for the hours when women can finally catch their breath, rest, and simply be.

    XIXILI Raya Sleep Collection

    The Reality of the Raya Rush

    The lead-up to Raya is a whirlwind of grocery runs, deep cleaning, and late nights in the kitchen. By the time the first open house begins, most women have already put in an incredible amount of effort for their families. The quiet moments in between are not just a break. They are earned.

    XIXILI’s pajamas are made for those moments. Easy to move in, soft enough to wear through the night, and the kind of pieces that make coming home feel like something to look forward to. Designed to fit a wide range of body types, every woman can find something that feels as good as it looks.

    “Raya is everything. The food, the family, the laughter. And at the end of it all, she deserves to rest just as well as she celebrated,” says Tara Tan, Marketing Director at XIXILI.

    Comfort That Carries Through the Season

    Raya may bring the occasion, but the shift happening in Malaysian wardrobes goes further than that. Women are increasingly treating sleepwear as a considered part of their self-care, not just something to change into before bed.

    “We often talk about the joy of gathering, but we rarely talk about the exhaustion that comes with it,” Tara Tan adds. “Our goal for Raya 2026 is to ensure that when the last guest leaves, every woman has a high-quality piece of loungewear to retreat into. It is about honouring the work she does by giving her the rest she deserves.”

    Quality loungewear for the wind-down, the slow morning, and every quiet moment in between has become one of the most considered purchases a woman makes this season.

    Made to Be Worn, Not Just Owned

    Good sleepwear should not sit tucked away at the back of a drawer. It should be the first thing she reaches for at the end of a long day, worn in and looked forward to. XIXILI’s range is built for exactly that, styles that settle naturally into her routine and carry her well beyond the festive season.

    The full sleepwear collection is available online and at XIXILI boutiques nationwide. To shop the range, visit www.xixili-intimates.com.Hashtag: #XIXILI

    Indonesia Highlights Forest Governance and Traceability System in Dialogue with Japanese Energy Companies

    JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 March 2026 – The Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia reaffirmed the countrys commitment to sustainable forest governance and transparent supply chains during a meeting with representatives from Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Hanwa Co., Ltd. at the Ministrys office on Wednesday (March 4).

    Official Meeting on Sustainable Forestry The Indonesian Ministry of Forestry receives representatives from Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. and Hanwa Co., Ltd.—key buyers of wood pellets from PT Biomasa Jaya Abadi

    The meeting was part of Indonesias ongoing engagement with international partners to strengthen mutual understanding of sustainable forest management and the governance framework underpinning Indonesias forest-based industries, including the emerging biomass sector.

    Ade Mukadi, Director of Forest Product Processing and Marketing Development at the Ministry of Forestry, emphasized that Indonesia continues to strengthen its forest governance architecture to ensure that forest utilization is conducted responsibly and in accordance with national regulations and sustainability principles.

    Indonesia has established a comprehensive forest governance framework that integrates legality assurance, sustainability standards, and independent verification. We continue to enhance this system to ensure transparency, accountability, and supply chain integrity,” Ade stated.

    Tokyo Gas and Hanwa are buyers of wood pellets produced by PT Biomasa Jaya Abadi (PT BJA), which operates in Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province. Tony Rianto, Head of the Sub-Directorate for Forest Product Certification and Marketing, explained that Indonesias forest governance system is guided by four key pillars: sustainable forest management that balances ecological, social, and economic functions; transparency and accountability; regulatory compliance; and respect for indigenous peoples and local communities.

    Central to this framework is Indonesias Timber Legality and Sustainability Verification System (SVLK), a national assurance system ensuring that forest products originate from legal and sustainably managed sources. The system covers the entire supply chain—from harvesting and transportation to processing and export—and is implemented through independent verification bodies accredited to audit forest operators, industries, and exporters.

    Furthermore, Indonesia continues to enhance the system in line with evolving global market expectations, including the development of geolocation-based monitoring at harvesting sites and the digitalization of transport and export documentation.

    These measures are designed to strengthen traceability and support compliance with emerging international due diligence requirements, such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

    During the meeting, discussions also covered Indonesias forest utilization planning framework, including the Annual Work Plan (RKT), which regulates harvesting activities under approved long-term forest management plans and incorporates biodiversity safeguards and conservation measures.

    The Ministry reaffirmed that forest utilization activities are subject to rigorous regulatory oversight and monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance with environmental safeguards and sustainable forest management practices.

    The meeting followed an earlier discussion between Tokyo Gas and Hanwa and the Pohuwato Regency Government on Monday (March 2). Regent Syaiful A.

    Mbuinga confirmed that PT BJA has fulfilled all licensing requirements, operates legally, and contributes to the local economy by employing more than 1,500 workers.

    Investment in Pohuwato, including from PT BJA, has contributed to regional economic growth of around 9%, with the local government maintaining strict oversight of investment activities in the region.

    本会合は、持続可能な森林経営に関する理解の深化および、バイオマス分野を含むインドネシアの森林関連産業を支えるガバナンス枠組みに対する相互理解の強化を目的とした、国際パートナーとの継続的な対話の一環として開催されたものである。

    インドネシア林業省 森林産品加工・マーケティング開発局長のアデ・ムカディ氏は、インドネシアが森林資源の利用を国家規制および持続可能性原則に基づき責任ある形で実施するため、森林ガバナンス体制の強化を継続していることを強調した。

    林業省 森林産品認証・マーケティング課長のトニー・リアント氏は、インドネシアの森林ガバナンス制度が以下の四つの柱に基づいていると説明した。すなわち、生態系・社会・経済のバランスを確保する持続可能な森林経営、透明性および説明責任、規制遵守、そして先住民族および地域社会の権利尊重である。

    この枠組みの中核を成すのが、インドネシアの「木材合法性および持続可能性検証制度(SVLK)」である。同制度は、森林産品が合法かつ持続可能に管理された森林から生産されていることを保証する国家的な認証制度である。

    SVLKは、伐採、輸送、加工、輸出に至るサプライチェーン全体を対象としており、森林事業者、産業事業者、および輸出事業者を監査するために認定された独立検証機関によって実施されている。

    また、インドネシア政府は、国際市場の要求の変化に対応するため、制度のさらなる高度化を進めている。これには、伐採地点におけるジオロケーションベースのモニタリングの導入や、輸送および輸出関連書類のデジタル化などが含まれる。これらの取り組みは、トレーサビリティの強化およびEU森林破壊防止規則(EUDR)などの新たな国際的デューデリジェンス要件への対応を支援することを目的としている。

    会合ではまた、インドネシアの森林利用計画制度についても議論が行われた。これには、長期森林経営計画に基づく伐採活動を規定する「年次作業計画(RKT)」が含まれ、生物多様性保全および環境保護措置が組み込まれている。

    林業省は、森林利用活動が厳格な規制監督およびモニタリング体制の下で実施されており、環境保護措置および持続可能な森林経営の確実な履行が確保されていることを改めて強調した。

    なお、本会合は、東京ガスおよび阪和が3月2日(月)にポフワト県政府と行った協議に続くものである。サイフル・A・ムインガ県知事は、PT BJAがすべての許認可要件を満たし、合法的に事業を運営していること、さらに1,500人以上の雇用を創出することで地域経済に貢献していることを確認した。

    PT BJAを含むポフワト県への投資は、地域経済成長率を約9%押し上げており、地方政府は同地域における投資活動に対して厳格な監督を継続している。

  • CK Life Sciences Establishes Sequencio Therapeutics to Advance Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Development

    CK Life Sciences Establishes Sequencio Therapeutics to Advance Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines Development

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 March 2026 – CK Life Sciences Int’l., (Holdings) Inc. (“CK Life Sciences” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 0775) today announced the establishment of Sequencio Therapeutics (“Sequencio”), a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to advancing the Company’s therapeutic cancer vaccine portfolio.

    The Third Pillar of a Strategic Reorganisation

    This marks the third pillar of a strategic reorganisation, following transactions involving Nasdaq-listed TransCode Therapeutics (“TransCode”, “RNAZ”) and Dogwood Therapeutics (“Dogwood”, “DWTX”) completed in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Collectively, these developments are intended to accelerate R&D, enhance operational execution, and broaden capital access for pharmaceuticals and diagnostics R&D, positioning CK Life Sciences at the forefront of therapeutic cancer vaccine development.

    Sequencio – A Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine R&DPlatform

    Sequencio Therapeutics has been established to consolidate CK Life Sciences’ therapeutic cancer vaccine research and development portfolio under a dedicated organisation, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on this emerging class of cancer immunotherapy. The subsidiary is focused on the development of therapeutic cancer vaccines designed to train a patient’s own immune system to achieve durable, long-term remission with a favourable safety profile, addressing key limitations of current standard-of-care therapies. The establishment of Sequencio supports a long-term vision of shifting cancer treatment paradigms from transient tumour reduction toward sustained, immune-controlled remission, with vaccine discovery and design conducted in-house and development advanced through a combination of internal capabilities and external collaborations.

    Sequencio’s preclinical portfolio includes the Company’s investigational cancer vaccines targeting Trophoblast Cell Surface Antigen 2 (TROP2), which has demonstrated robust T-cell immune responses and achieved 100% tumour growth inhibition in preclinical breast and colorectal cancer mouse studies. The portfolio also includes vaccine candidates targeting PRAME (Preferentially Expressed Antigen in Melanoma), PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1), B7-H3 (B7 homolog 3), and Claudin 6.

    Dr Melvin Toh, Chief Scientific Officer: A Significant Milestone in Ongoing Commitment to Transforming Cancer Treatment

    “The establishment of Sequencio marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to transforming cancer treatment,” said Dr Melvin Toh, Chief Scientific Officer at CK Life Sciences. “By consolidating our cancer vaccine research under a dedicated entity, we are establishing a focused platform with the agility and expertise required to drive breakthrough science from the laboratory to the clinic, with the aim of delivering potential benefits to patients.”

    Over the past two years, CK Life Sciences has undergone a comprehensive restructuring to maximise the potential of its R&D portfolio, with a view to attracting additional funding from investors. In 2025, the Company’s late-stage melanoma vaccine seviprotimut-L was sold to Nasdaq-listed TransCode in exchange for an equity stake in Transcode. Through the integration of seviprotimut-L into TransCode Therapeutics’ pipeline, the potential synergy between vaccine-driven immunity and RNA-based mechanisms presents an opportunity to explore new approaches to addressing treatment resistance and achieving more durable patient responses.

    Separately, in 2024, CK Life Sciences completed a transaction with Dogwood Therapeutics, a Nasdaq-listed company focused on developing new medicines for pain and neuropathy, in which CK Life Sciences holds a majority stake. Dogwood is advancing Halneuron® for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, which has demonstrated positive interim Phase 2b results. Dogwood has also secured a global licence to develop an intravenous formulation of SP16 for cancer-related pain.

    Both Nasdaq-listed companies are led by experienced scientific and commercial teams, providing greater access to US capital markets and potential strategic partnerships to expedite development. These transactions enable CK Life Sciences’ commercial operations to provide initial and standby funding for its in-house preclinical programmes, now consolidated under Sequencio.

    With Sequencio, TransCode and Dogwood, CK Life Sciences now offers an R&D platform with a diversified pipeline of early and late-stage projects targeting substantial unmet medical needs.

    Mr Alan Yu, Deputy Chairman: Consider Expanding in an Innovative and Hi-tech Zone like the Northern Metropolis

    “By leveraging strategic partnerships, access to public markets, and focused internal development, we are combining the agility of dedicated teams, with the resources needed to advance groundbreaking sciences,” added Mr Alan Yu, Deputy Chairman of CK Life Sciences. “We look forward to delivering these innovative therapies to the patients who need them most. As our R&D projects mature, we may need to consider expanding our R&D facilities in an innovative and hi-tech zone like that of Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis.”

    Yi Yun Movers Rethinks Operations as Moving Industry Evolves

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 March 2026 – Yi Yun Movers, a moving company in Singapore, is reassessing its operations as competition intensifies across the moving industry. With services often viewed as interchangeable and prices closely compared, operational efficiency, safety, and coordination are becoming key priorities.

    Yi Yun Movers

    Competitive Landscape and Market Pressures

    Singapore’s storage and moving industry was valued at USD 59.48 billion in 2024. It is projected to grow steadily, reaching USD 100.16 billion by 2033. As demand expands, operators face rising expectations from customers who want clearer quotations, faster responses, careful handling of belongings, and fewer disruptions during moves. These expectations are evolving faster than the industry’s traditional operating models.

    “Customers today are more informed and expect clarity and coordination throughout the moving process,” said Liang, Sales Manager of Yi Yun Movers. “Meeting these expectations requires tighter planning and consistent execution, especially in a highly competitive environment.”

    Operational Focus Over Marketing Claims

    Within this environment, Yi Yun Movers has focused on strengthening its core operations, particularly in areas such as safe handling, flexible scheduling, and end-to-end service coordination. The mover in Singapore provides residential and commercial moving services, along with storage, disposal, and after-hours relocations. These reflect a shift toward accommodating varied customer timelines and operational needs.

    Technology as Operational Support, Not Replacement

    The moving industry in Singapore is believed to have relatively low service differentiation, making internal efficiency a critical factor. To address this, some firms are beginning to explore how digital tools can support daily operations. Rather than replacing existing workflows, technology is being considered for practical functions, such as route planning, scheduling coordination, and administrative efficiency.

    For Yi Yun Movers, this has meant examining how planning and coordination can be tightened without disrupting established on-the-ground processes. The company has taken a cautious approach, focusing on whether digital tools can reduce manual work and improve scheduling accuracy. At the same time, it keeps experienced crews and established handling practices at the centre of operations.

    “We’re careful not to introduce changes that add complexity on the ground,” as revealed by Jovi, Operations Manager of Yi Yun Movers. “Any use of digital tools is meant to support planning and coordination, not replace the practical experience of our crews.”

    GPS Software for Route Planning and Fleet Management

    One of the key digital tools Yi Yun Movers has incorporated is GPS software. This technology helps the company optimise route planning and fleet management by:

    • Providing real-time traffic data
    • Calculating the most efficient routes
    • Tracking vehicles throughout the process

    This integration not only ensures faster service delivery but also improves customer communication regarding timeframes. With GPS software, the moving teams can focus on executing their tasks on the ground.

    SME Readiness and Incremental Technology Adoption

    This measured approach aligns with broader national discussions around small and medium enterprise (SME) readiness for technology adoption. While large-scale automation remains out of reach for many operators, incremental use of digital tools to support planning and coordination is increasingly viewed as necessary to remain competitive without compromising service reliability.

    Yi Yun Movers’ experience reflects this wider SME reality. Rather than pursuing large-scale system changes, the company has focused on incremental adjustments that support administrative efficiency and coordination, recognising that readiness varies across teams and that operational continuity remains critical in a service-led business.

    Adapting to Evolving Customer Expectations

    As relocation activity continues alongside Singapore’s dynamic property and business landscape, operators are navigating tighter margins and higher service expectations. For Yi Yun Movers, the focus remains on maintaining service consistency, careful handling of items, and adapting operations to meet changing customer needs in a highly competitive moving industry.

    Looking Ahead

    Continued growth in Singapore’s moving and storage sector is shaping how operators manage cost, coordination, and service reliability. With customer expectations evolving alongside broader economic and property trends, operational discipline and adaptability are likely to remain central to how moving firms compete.

    Yi Yun Movers intends to refine internal processes and maintain service standards while responding to industry changes pragmatically. This reflects a wider shift among local service providers toward strengthening operational foundations, as the moving industry adapts to a more demanding and competitive environment.

    In addition to enhancing route planning and fleet management with GPS software, Yi Yun Movers is exploring the use of AI-Assisted Customer Relationship Management (CRM). By integrating AI-driven CRM tools, Yi Yun Movers aims to automate customer interactions, personalise communication, and improve service delivery.

    With these forward-thinking approaches, the company is positioning itself to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market. This enables its teams to effectively address the evolving needs and expectations of Singapore’s moving and storage sector.
