SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2026 – Lee Kum Kee Sauce (“Lee Kum Kee”), the century-old sauce brand and a member of the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), actively participated in CGF China Day 2026, held in Shanghai, China from 9 September to 10 September. Julie Xing, Ph.D., Global Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lee Kum Kee Sauce, was invited to deliver a keynote speech and join a roundtable discussion, underscoring the Company’s commitment to partnership, responsible growth, and improved industry collaboration within China’s consumer goods ecosystem.

In her keynote speech, “Consumer-Centric: Creating Value Across the Entire Ecosystem,” Dr. Xing shared Lee Kum Kee Sauce’s perspective on the future development of the food industry, linking them to China’s 15^th Five-Year Plan for consumption upgrading and broader industry trends.

Dr. Xing highlighted that consumers today are experiencing a threefold awakening of value, awareness, and health. Consumers are more proactive in researching product ingredients before buying, and seeking out low-sugar, low-salt and low-fat options. Consequently, health consciousness is shifting from a premium selling point to a default industry expectation.

Dr. Xing said, “Faced with increasingly diverse consumer demands, no single company can succeed in isolation. Consumer goods companies must build a comprehensive innovation portfolio over the next three to five years, spanning the entire value chain — from products and consumption scenarios to experience, channels, and business models. Only by breaking down silos and collaborating through cross-sector co-creation can we put consumers at the centre and forge new pathways for industry growth through shared value creation.”

During the roundtable session, Lee Kum Kee joined consumer goods leaders to discuss emerging industry trends and the drive toward a more resilient consumption ecosystem that creates greater value for consumers in the new era. Dr. Xing engaged in dialogue with Ken Murphy, Global CEO of Tesco and Co-Chair of the CGF Global Board; Pu Shaohua, Chairman of Bailian Group and Co-Chair of the CGF China Board; and Anne Tse, CEO of PepsiCo Asia Pacific, on “Reshaping Growth Logic, Co-creating Long-Term Value.” Moderated by Derek Deng, Senior Global Partner at Bain & Company and Chairman of the Consumer Products Practice for Greater China, the four panellists shared insights on AI applications and efficiency improvements in the consumer industry, as well as how to sustainably create consumer value through a long-termism approach. Dr. Xing shared Lee Kum Kee’s experience in applying AI in supply chain optimisation and consumer insights, and noted that innovation investment often yield results over multi-year horizons, requiring leadership resolve and patience to balance short-term returns with long-term strategic positioning.

CGF China Day 2026 spanned two days. On the second day, Dodie Hung, Executive Vice President – Corporate Affairs at Lee Kum Kee Sauce shared the Company’s experience in embedding sustainable development across three areas: green production, responsible product packaging, and community giving during the “China Green Sustainable Development Day” session.

Moreover, CGF announced that Lee Kum Kee’s sustainable packaging cases were featured in the 2026 Golden Design Rules Case Study, and the China Research Report on the Design-for-Recycling (DfR)Standards for Plastic Packaging in the FMCG Industry, for which Lee Kum Kee served as a member of the Chinese Expert and Advisory Group, was officially released. Both achievements demonstrate Lee Kum Kee’s innovative practices in packaging design that balance product safety, user experience, and environmental sustainability, reflecting the brand’s commitment to providing consumers with products that combine great taste with sustainable development value.

As CGF’s flagship annual event in China, CGF China Day is one of the most influential exchange platforms in the consumer goods industry. This year’s conference brought together over 350 industry executives and professionals from retailers and manufacturers across China and the global FMCG ecosystem, engaging in in-depth discussions on strategic opportunities and development trends in China’s consumer goods market.

Looking ahead, Lee Kum Kee will continue to work hand in hand with partners to advance industry alignment, foster a healthier, more sustainable, and more vibrant consumption ecosystem, and deliver value to consumers.

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2026 – Vingroup has been ranked 340th in TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2026, placing the Group among the world’s Top 400 companies. Compared with 2025, Vingroup has risen nearly 500 places and remains the only Vietnamese company to be recognized on the prestigious ranking.

The World’s Best Companies 2026 ranking is jointly conducted by TIME, a globally recognized magazine, and Statista, a leading global data and market research company.

Companies are evaluated across three comprehensive dimensions: revenue growth, employee satisfaction, and sustainability transparency, supported by in-depth analysis of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors.

As the first and only Vietnamese company to be included in the ranking for two consecutive years, Vingroup achieved positive results across all three dimensions, receiving an overall score of 81 and ranking 340th among the Top 1,000 companies worldwide, up 477 places from its 817th ranking last year.

In terms of Revenue Growth, Vingroup received an “Outstanding” rating. In the first half of 2026, the Group recorded consolidated net revenue of VND 222.9 trillion, up 72% year on year from the same period in 2025, driven by strong growth in industrial manufacturing and real estate businesses. Consolidated profit after tax reached VND 20.904 trillion, 4.6 times higher than the same period last year and equivalent to 60% of the full-year target.

In terms of Employee Satisfaction, Vingroup ranked 398th globally, up 496 places from 2025. The Group has developed a dynamic working environment that encourages dedication, innovation and employee engagement, while placing a strong focus on individual development.

Over more than three decades of development, Vingroup has continuously expanded into new areas, established new growth drivers and progressively expanded its ecosystem into international markets. Today, companies across the Vingroup ecosystem operate in 12 countries, creating employment for approximately 400,000 people worldwide.

In terms of Sustainability Transparency, Vingroup continues to make important contributions through green transition initiatives, infrastructure development and the development of sustainable urban and living ecosystems. Alongside economic growth, the Group focuses on creating long-term value for society.

VinFast, the all-electric vehicle brand within the Vingroup ecosystem, has become the leading automotive brand by sales volume in Vietnam, while setting a target of delivering 300,000 cars and 1 million electric motorcycles globally in 2026. Meanwhile, Vinhomes has pioneered the development of the ESG++ urban model, adding Regeneration and Resilience to the three core ESG pillars of E – Environment, S – Social and G – Governance, thereby raising the standard for sustainable development across large-scale urban developments spanning thousands of hectares.

In particular, in 2025, Vingroup officially expanded into two new strategic areas: Infrastructure and Green Energy. Through VinSpeed, with the Ben Thanh – Can Gio (Ho Chi Minh City) and Hanoi – Quang Ninh high-speed railway projects now under construction, as well as energy projects developed by VinEnergo across multiple localities, Vingroup is progressively contributing to stronger regional connectivity, the expansion of economic space and the acceleration of the green transition.

Previously, Vingroup became the first and only Vietnamese company to qualify for and be included in the World’s Best Companies 2025 ranking. Brands across the Vingroup ecosystem have also received recognition from numerous international organizations. VinFast was previously recognized by TIME in two prestigious rankings: the TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2024 and Asia-Pacific’s Best Companies of 2025. In the latter ranking, VinFast was recognized among the companies shaping the region’s position on the global economic map.

TIME is a leading global magazine headquartered in New York, the United States, with a history spanning 101 years. With a global presence and in-depth, independent analysis of political, economic, cultural and scientific developments, TIME has established a strong voice and influence capable of shaping public discourse. Its rankings are widely recognized for their value and credibility worldwide.

The third rebuild of Ramco’s platform in thirty years, moving enterprise software from a system of record towards a system of intelligence and action

At the event, the company provided a preview of its upcoming AI-native enterprise platform, built to move enterprise software from a system of record to a system of intelligence, and ultimately a system of action. The first two shifts in Ramco’s platform changed how enterprise software was delivered; this one changes what the software is.

The new platform is designed to move away from software that people must log into and interpret, towards a system that surfaces what needs attention and drafts the resulting action for a human to approve. A walkthrough during the keynote showed how the platform would identify a projected stock shortfall across multiple warehouses and prepare the corresponding replenishment requests for approval.

Abinav Raja, Managing Director, Ramco Systems, said, “Nobody running a business today is short of information. They are short of the time to go and assemble it into something they can act on. What we are building is meant to do that assembly for them, and bring the next step with it, while leaving the judgement where it belongs.”

Payroll offers one example of what this looks like in practice: a monthly processing cycle gives way to continuous validation, with anomalies flagged as they arise rather than surfacing at the end of the period. The AI and Machine Learning technology carries out the processing while payroll teams retain the review and the sign-off.

Ramco has operated in Malaysia since 1996 and today processes payroll for more than 100,000 employees every month across more than 50 Malaysian organisations in over 15 industries. Kuala Lumpur serves as one of Ramco’s regional support hubs for HR and Global Payroll, with Singapore as its Asia headquarters.

Sandesh Bilagi, Chief Executive Officer, Ramco Systems, said, “We have spent thirty years in Malaysia solving problems our customers could not afford to get wrong. Some of the organisations we recognised today started with us decades ago. They have been part of our journey and been with us as our platform transformed and modernized over the years. Thirty years is not the achievement. Those relationships are.”

At the event, Ramco recognised its Malaysian clientele, including:

• Valiram Group, the Kuala Lumpur headquartered luxury retail specialist with more than 600 stores across Southeast Asia and Oceania, was Ramco’s first retail customer in the region. Ramco provided an integrated solution that could replace the disparate HRIS systems in each country, which were working in silos.
• Hitachi Energy used Ramco to build a unified payroll model spanning 20 countries and 8,000 employees. Ramco enabled Hitachi Energy to supplement and empower its retained payroll resources and amplify its expertise across countries.
• Aurecon, an Asia Pacific engineering consultancy, went live on Ramco Payce this year, replacing legacy payroll processes across seven Asian markets, including Malaysia, with a single consolidated service. The service covers gross and net pay calculations, retroactive pay and increments, and payslip generation, alongside country-specific statutory compliance. The shift improved payroll accuracy and timeliness and delivered cost efficiencies across payroll and other teams.

Ramco expects the domain knowledge and experience built over three decades in Malaysia to reinforce how the new platform reaches customers across the region.

The retail park also seamlessly complements the area’s established residential precincts, the 50-acre Central Park, the Residents Clubhouse, recreational facilities and educational institutions such as Wesley Methodist School and Sekolah Menengah Akademik Kuen Cheng, further reinforcing Bandar Seri Coalfields as a thriving and self-sustaining township

Global health and wellness retailer iHerb is highlighting six “Health Reset” essentials across adult nutrition, children’s supplements, personal care and household cleaning to support a range of everyday needs.

Marking its 30th anniversary this year, iHerb offers a broad selection of health, beauty and everyday essentials to customers around the world.

For consumers ready to turn their Health Reset intentions into action, now is an ideal time to explore iHerb’s selection of more than 50,000 products and discover the items that best suit their individual routines. As part of its 30th Anniversary Spotlight promotion, more than 600 participating brands are offering savings of up to 30% with promo code “IH30YRS” until 17 September at 1:00 a.m Singapore time.

In addition, up to 200 limited-time product deals will be added daily through 16 September, with selected items available at 40% off or more—giving shoppers even more opportunities to find new favourites for their personal reset.

Reset everyday habits and build a more consistent wellness routine

A refreshed routine can begin with simple, consistent nutritional habits. Alongside a balanced diet, supplements can help individuals meet their nutritional needs. Doctor’s Best Vitamin C, 500 mg provides 500 mg of vitamin C per serving in a vegetarian capsule, making it easy to incorporate into a daily supplement routine for consumers who want to support their everyday nutrition.

Another popular option is California Gold Nutrition Antarctic Krill Oil, which combines omega-3 phospholipids with naturally occurring astaxanthin. It comes in fish-gelatine softgels with natural strawberry and lemon flavour. From vitamin C to omega-3 supplementation, small and consistent daily habits can provide a practical foundation for a September wellness reset.

Refresh the family routine, from children’s nutrition to personal care

A Health Reset does not need to involve dramatic lifestyle changes. For families, it can start with small habits that are easy to maintain. Nature’s Way Alive! Kids Premium Gummy Multivitamin offers a convenient everyday supplement option for children aged two and above.* Available in cherry, grape and orange flavours, these gummies provide a range of vitamins and minerals and are easy to incorporate into a family’s daily routine. Children aged 2–3 years should chew two gummies daily, while children aged 4 years and above should chew three, preferably with food. (*Not suitable for children under 2 years of age due to the risk of choking.)

For those looking to refresh their hair-care routine, Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator comes in mixed berry-flavoured soft chews designed for convenient daily use. It is formulated to support fuller-looking hair and can be incorporated into a consistent hair-care routine. Together, these options give families simple ways to identify the everyday habits that work best for them.

Reset the home, from laundry care to the bathroom

A reset can extend beyond personal routines to the home. Nellie’s Wow Stick Stain Remover offers a solid stain-treatment option for everyday marks on clothing and fabrics, while Seventh Generation Disinfecting Bathroom Cleaner is formulated for hard, non-porous surfaces and features a lemongrass citrus scent. Together, the two products offer practical options for refreshing everyday household routines.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 September 2026 – Fresh graduates entering Singapore’s workforce continue to find opportunities across financial and insurance services, professional services, information and communications, healthcare and social services, even as employers become more selective and artificial intelligence reshapes entry-level work.

According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), entry-level professional, managerial, executive and technician (PMET) openings increased from 32,500 in December 2025 to 32,800 in March 2026, despite an overall decline in job vacancies. MOM also reported that around nine in 10 university graduates from the 2025 cohort found employment within 12 months of graduation, suggesting that fresh graduate employment has remained relatively resilient.

Financial services, professional services and technology remain active hiring sectors

Financial and Insurance Services, Professional Services, and Information and Communications were among sectors identified by MOM as experiencing active PMET hiring and wage growth. Together, these sectors recorded approximately 14,200 PMET vacancies as of September 2025, compared with 12,600 a year earlier, including roles suitable for fresh graduates.

Opportunities span finance, risk, compliance, accounting, consulting, software, systems and data functions. Increasing digitalisation also means these boundaries are becoming less distinct, with banks and professional services firms increasingly recruiting technology and data talent.

Information and communications continue to require digital capabilities

Singapore’s technology workforce reached 214,000 in 2024, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s Singapore Digital Economy Report 2025, with AI and Data and Cybersecurity among the fastest-growing technology occupations. The latest MOM data also shows concrete entry-level demand. As at March 2026, Information and Communications recorded 200 vacancies for software developers, 130 for IT support technicians and 80 for computer engineers among its entry-level jobs with higher vacancy counts.

Technology graduates are therefore finding opportunities not only within technology companies but also across finance, manufacturing, professional services and other industries.

Financial and professional services are evolving with technology

Singapore’s financial sector continues to provide opportunities across banking, insurance, investment, risk and compliance. As at March 2026, MOM identified financial compliance officer or risk analyst, insurance sales agent or broker, and financial or investment adviser among the entry-level Financial and Insurance Services roles with higher vacancy counts, with 30 vacancies recorded for each occupation. Technology is also changing the nature of financial services, with institutions applying analytics, automation and AI across areas such as fraud detection, customer service and risk management.

Professional Services provides opportunities across both corporate and technical functions. MOM’s March 2026 data identified 100 vacancies for resident technical officers, 60 for auditors and 50 for IT support technicians among the sector’s entry-level jobs with higher vacancy counts. As AI increasingly assists with research, analysis and routine processes, graduates who combine professional knowledge with digital capabilities, communication and judgement may be better positioned for changing roles.

Healthcare and social services continue to offer graduate pathways

Health and Social Services continues to provide entry-level opportunities for graduates. As at March 2026, MOM identified 210 vacancies for social workers, 190 for registered nurses and other nursing professionals, and 80 for social work associates among the sector’s entry-level jobs with higher vacancy counts. These roles demonstrate that graduate demand extends beyond digital careers. Specialised professional knowledge and interpersonal skills remain important in sectors where human interaction and service delivery are central.

AI is changing entry-level roles rather than simply removing them

Generative AI has raised concerns among students and parents about its impact on graduate employment. MOM data presents a more nuanced picture. Among firms that had adopted AI, 6 per cent reported reducing headcount and 8 per cent lowering hiring activity, while 19 per cent redesigned roles and 14 per cent created AI-related jobs. The impact of AI has therefore been more visible in job redesign than broad-based hiring reductions. Fresh graduates may increasingly be expected to use AI tools, interpret data, assess AI-generated information and focus on areas requiring judgement, communication and problem-solving.

Skills-based hiring is changing how graduates compete

Employers are also looking increasingly beyond qualifications alone. MOM’s Job Vacancies 2025 report found that academic qualifications were not the main consideration for 79.6 per cent of vacancies.

This places greater emphasis on what graduates can demonstrate alongside their qualification, including internships, technical capabilities, communication, teamwork and analytical thinking. For students choosing a degree, employability is therefore not only about entering a growing industry but also about developing skills and experience that employers value.

SIM graduate outcomes reflect employment across diverse industries

Graduate employment data provides another way for students and parents to assess career outcomes. According to the Private Education Institution Graduate Employment Survey 2024/2025, 81.0 per cent of SIM fresh graduates surveyed secured employment, while 47.0 per cent were in full-time permanent employment. The median gross monthly salary was S$3,565. Across all private education institutions surveyed, 78.9 per cent of fresh graduates secured employment, with a median gross monthly salary of S$3,500.

SIM’s Graduate Employment Survey also shows graduates entering sectors including banking and financial services, ICT and cybersecurity, consulting and professional services, aviation and engineering, healthcare and social services, logistics and transportation, retail and manufacturing. Employment outcomes remain dependent on factors including programme choice, individual skills, work experience and labour-market conditions.

Parents can consider employability alongside programme fit

For parents supporting higher education decisions, current hiring trends provide useful context, but today’s strongest industry may not necessarily offer the greatest opportunities several years from now. A broader assessment can include a student’s interests and strengths, programme curriculum, awarding university, recognition, fees, career support and graduate employment outcomes.

The SIM Parent Resource Hub brings these considerations together, covering degree pathways, programme recognition, fees and financial support, student care and graduate employability. Its Graduate Outcomes & Employability resource provides information on SIM’s PEI Graduate Employment Survey results, industries and organisations where SIM graduates have worked, and career and internship support available to students.

These resources can help parents consider not only where jobs are available today, but how a higher education pathway can help their child develop relevant knowledge, experience and transferable capabilities.

Career resilience increasingly depends on transferable skills

Singapore’s labour-market data shows that opportunities for fresh graduates remain spread across multiple industries. Financial Services, Professional Services and Information and Communications continue to offer professional opportunities, while Healthcare and Social Services, also show meaningful entry-level demand.

For students entering higher education, career preparation may therefore be less about identifying one “future-proof” industry and more about developing disciplinary knowledge, practical experience and transferable skills that can remain valuable as employment needs change. Parents and students can refer to the SIM Parent Resource Hub, including its Graduate Outcomes & Employability resource, when evaluating degree pathways, employability, recognition, fees and student support.

SALALAH, OMAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 September 2026 – On September 7, local time in Oman, witnessed by Bater, Executive Vice Governor of Hainan Province, and Khamis bin Mohammed Al-Shamakhi, Undersecretary for Transport at Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT), Maple Leaf and MTCIT signed a comprehensive agreement on the next phase of cooperation in autonomous driving. Officials from relevant Hainan provincial authorities and the Chinese Embassy in Oman attended the ceremony. Earlier that day, Maple Leaf founder and Chairman Liang Yi joined His Excellency Eng. Said bin Hamoud Al Maawali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and executives from Oman Airports for a test ride in a Maple Leaf autonomous shuttle at Salalah International Airport, completing all on-site validation procedures. Led by Maple Leaf and jointly organized by MTCIT and Oman Airports, the test represents an important official step in Oman’s deployment of smart and sustainable mobility technologies and a milestone for the operation of Chinese autonomous driving technology in the country. Future Fund Oman under the Oman Investment Authority (OIA) and Temple Water Capital are also accelerating Maple Leaf’s Series B financing round, worth tens of millions of US dollars.

The cooperation demonstrates how Hainan Free Trade Port technology companies can leverage local advantages to expand internationally. Maple Leaf previously received strategic investment from Chengmai, Hainan, and key policy support from Haikou, using Hainan as a base to expand its new energy vehicle and technology businesses overseas. At the Salalah Airport test site, officials from various Omani authorities experienced the vehicle firsthand. The test covered key functions including sensing and real-time monitoring, route recognition, environmental perception, and obstacle handling, comprehensively assessing the vehicle’s ability to operate safely and intelligently under real-world conditions using autonomous driving technology. After confirming the vehicle’s stable operation and efficient dispatching, His Excellency Al Maawali praised Maple Leaf’s technical capabilities and rapid deployment, describing it as “China speed.” From domestic trials and vehicle commissioning to airfreighting the vehicle to Muscat and quickly launching on-site tests, Maple Leaf’s execution efficiency earned strong recognition from the Omani side and led to a clear path for deeper cooperation.

His Excellency Al Maawali stated on site that Oman would fully support Maple Leaf’s participation in smart city, airport electrification, and energy transition projects. He set a specific target for the company to establish last-mile passenger and logistics networks across Muscat and Salalah within one year. MTCIT has also set an official timetable requiring Maple Leaf to begin commercial operations of autonomous vehicles in the third quarter of 2027. Under the plan, Maple Leaf will deploy 30,000 to 50,000 autonomous shuttles and driverless logistics vehicles across Oman over the next five years. The broader cooperation is expected to help Oman become the first of the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries to achieve transport electrification, commercial deployment of autonomous driving, and energy transition. The plan aims to position Oman as a regional benchmark for transport transformation in the Middle East, support the implementation of Oman Vision 2040, and align with the country’s 2050 net-zero target and the goals of the Sustainable Dhofar initiative.

Following the tests, Maple Leaf Chairman Liang Yi said that with investment from OIA, Oman’s sovereign investment fund, and Temple Water Capital accelerating, together with progress toward commercial operating licenses, Maple Leaf will use Oman as a regional hub to bring China’s successful autonomous driving experience to the wider Middle East and establish a proven model for smart mobility.
