  • The 17th China Children’s Film Dubbing Promotion and Exhibition Event Officially Kicks Off

    BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 April 2026 – With light and shadow flowing to carry forward the revolutionary legacy, and children’s voices resounding to celebrate the glorious chapters of our times. On April 9, guided by the Publicity Department of the CPC Beijing Committee, the event was jointly organized by the China National Film Museum, the China Film Association and the China Children’s Film Association.

    As a public welfare brand dedicated to children’s growth and education for sixteen years, the activity continues to uphold the purpose of “fostering children’s growth, inspiring their minds, enriching their lives, and promoting children’s cinema.” Centered around the theme “A Dream of Light and Shadow, Voices Create Brilliance,” it targets children aged 7 to 16 both domestically and internationally. With film dubbing at its core, the activity provides a platform for artistic immersion, ideological guidance, and practical growth through diverse forms such as film lectures, dubbing challenges, film culture summer camps, and talent showcases, guiding children to experience the charm of film art in the world of light and shadow.

    The year 2026 marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. This edition of the event has selected classic films embodying historical memories and revolutionary spirit as dubbing materials, including Sparkling Red Star, The Letter with Feathers, The Detachment of The Hui People, Young Peng Dehuai, The Volunteers: Peace at Last, and Dead to Rights. These films guide children to revisit extraordinary years through cinematic images and grasp the spirit of the times through dubbing.

    베트남이 국내총생산(GDP) 성장률 10% 달성을 목표로 인프라 개발과 과학기술 및 혁신, 고부가가치 제조·서비스 산업, 친환경 경제를 추진함에 따라 장기 자본 수요도 함께 확대되고 있다. 베트남 정부는 은행 중심 금융 구조를 넘어 자본시장 육성에 속도를 내고 있으며, 2026년 9월 FTSE 러셀(FTSE Russell)의 신흥국 시장 승격을 앞두고 그 성과를 인정받은 바 있다. 이런 가운데 베트남 정부는 국제 자본을 핵심적 재원 조달원으로 인식하고 있으며, 국제 자본 유치를 확대할 채널로 지난 VIFC를 출범시켰다. 이번 HD은행과 LSE의 협력 또한 또 다른 이정표라 할 수 있다.

    양 기관은 이번 협력을 통해 런던 시장에서 주식, 채권 및 기타 금융상품 발행을 포함한 해외 자금 조달을 지원하고, 글로벌 기관투자자와의 연결을 강화하는 한편, 기업의 투명성과 지배구조 개선을 함께 추진할 계획이다.

    HD은행은 개인 및 기업금융, 증권, 투자, 보험 등 다양한 금융 서비스를 제공하는 베트남 주요 금융기관 중 하나로, VIFC의 설립에도 참여했다. HD은행은 베트남 기업의 해외 자본 조달 과정에서 신뢰받는 파트너로 자리매김하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다.

    LSE는 전 세계 1600개 이상의 해외 기업이 상장된 세계적 거래소로 약 34조달러 규모의 세계 최대 채권시장 중 하나를 운영하고 있다.

    이와 함께 양 기관은 베트남 주요 기업들과도 협력 계약을 체결해 국제 자본시장 접근을 지원하기로 했다. 자금 조달 구조 설계, 상장 자문, 글로벌 투자자 연결 등을 중심으로 협력을 추진할 계획이다.

    참여 기업으로는 호아센(Hoa Sen), 타코(THACO), 푹신(Phúc Sinh) 등 산업·제조·수출 분야 주요 기업들이 포함됐다.

    김병호 HD은행 회장은 “LSE와의 협력은 단순한 자금 조달을 넘어, 베트남 기업이 글로벌 수준의 지배구조와 투명성, 지속 가능성 기준을 접할 수 있도록 지원하기 위한 것”이라며 “런던 시장을 통해 베트남과 글로벌 투자자 간 장기적인 연결 기반을 구축할 수 있을 것”이라고 기대했다.

    HD은행은 최대 3억달러 규모의 해외 녹색채권 발행 계획도 발표했다. 이는 지속 가능한 금융 전략에 박차를 가하고 국제 시장을 통해 장기 자금 조달 기반을 확대하기 위한 조치다.

    줄리아 호겟(Julia Hoggett) LSE 매니징 디렉터는 “HD은행이 시장 간 연결을 촉진하고 기업의 글로벌 자본 접근을 지원하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다”고 평가했다. 이어 “이번 협력은 신흥시장의 기준 향상과 국제 금융 시스템 통합을 지원하려는 런던의 의지를 보여준다”고 강조했다.

  • American microbiologist behind global water safety breakthrough wins 2026 Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize

    American microbiologist behind global water safety breakthrough wins 2026 Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize

    • Professor Joan Bray Rose recognised for pioneering Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) as a global approach for assessing pathogen risks in water
    • QMRA adopted into global drinking water standards and enabled safe water reuse, benefitting millions worldwide

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 April 2026 – Professor Joan Bray Rose has been awarded the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2026 for her work as a key pioneer in the development and global adoption of Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA), a science-based approach to safeguard the quality of drinking water, as well as water reuse systems. Her work has transformed the science of microbial risk management and guided policies that protect public health and ensure safe water for communities worldwide. Her expertise in the domain of water quality and health has also played a key role in strengthening Singapore’s used water management, and the introduction of NEWater, Singapore’s third National Tap.

    Professor Joan Bray Rose, Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research and Director of the Water Alliance at Michigan State University and Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2026 Laureate
    Professor Joan Bray Rose, Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research and Director of the Water Alliance at Michigan State University and Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2026 Laureate

    2. Commenting on her accolade, Professor Rose, 11th recipient of the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize said, “I am deeply honoured to receive this esteemed award. This recognition reflects our collective progress in advancing microbial risk science and its role in protecting public health today. Safe water is one of the world’s most fundamental yet unevenly distributed resource critical to sustaining human life. As microbial risks continue to evolve, strengthening the robustness of our water systems remains an ongoing endeavour to ensure they remain dependable and resilient; safeguarding both water quality and people’s lives.” She is currently the Homer Nowlin Chair in Water Research, Director of the Water Alliance at Michigan State University.

    Uncovering invisible risks to revolutionise water safety

    3. In the late 1980s and 1990s, Professor Rose led a team to investigate a series of waterborne disease outbreaks across the United States. Among the most severe was the 1993 Cryptosporidiosis outbreak in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where an estimated 403,000 residents fell ill and at least 69 deaths were recorded[1]. She was the first to demonstrate the widespread occurrence of Cryptosporidium as a zoonotic pathogen[2] in the United States, and its transmission to humans through inadequately filtered and disinfected drinking water supplies. By establishing Cryptosporidium as the causative agent of these outbreaks, she highlighted the vulnerability of drinking water systems to microbial contamination – a challenge with global public health implications. Her findings also revealed a critical gap: pathogens could evade conventional water treatment, existing monitoring systems detected microbes without quantifying risk, and public health responses were largely reactive rather than predictive.

    4. Professor Rose then pioneered QMRA in the 1990s and early 2000s to address these critical gaps undermining water safety and public health. QMRA introduced a systematic, science-based approach to assess and manage microbial risks in drinking and other forms of water, including reuse water. By enabling scientists to quantify infection risks and illness probabilities based on pathogen concentrations, exposure pathways and consumption patterns, QMRA shifted water management from reactive “detect and correct” approaches to proactive “predict and prevent” strategies. This revolutionised water safety, boosting the quality of water systems to reliably meet health standards.

    Global impact on water microbiology and water quality

    5. QMRA is now widely adopted in drinking water regulations worldwide including the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Standards and the World Health Organisation’s Third Edition of the Drinking Water Quality Guidelines in 2004. Her work has enabled water utilities and regulators to define treatment requirements based on tolerable health risks for any given water source.

    6. Professor Rose extended the application of QMRA beyond drinking water to assess microbial risks in treated wastewater and water reuse systems. This development greatly strengthened global confidence in leveraging recycled water as a viable and sustainable supply source, and Professor Rose has since strongly advocated for the adoption of water reuse to address global water scarcity. She also advised the Orange County Water District’s Independent Advisory Panel and the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Expert Panel on water reuse. Her guidance contributed to California’s Indirect and Direct Potable Reuse regulations, now models for water reuse standards worldwide, including in Australia, Spain, and the United States.

    7. For over two decades, Professor Rose worked closely with PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, to strengthen water quality and safety. She was instrumental in the advancement of NEWater which was introduced in 2003, serving on the NEWater Expert Panel from 1998 to 2002. In her role, Professor Rose shared her expertise, provided guidance on best practices for water quality monitoring, and reviewed findings from health studies which demonstrated the long-term safety of NEWater. From 2003 to 2019, she also chaired PUB’s External Audit Panel, supporting the safe and robust implementation of water reuse in Singapore. In recognition of her significant contributions, she was conferred the Honorary Citizen Award by the Government of Singapore in 2015. Tapping on the QMRA approach, PUB has since strengthened the capabilities to use water quality surveillance data to guide treatment processes and ensure compliance with local and international drinking water standards and guidelines. (Refer to Annex on how QMRA is applied in Singapore.)

    8. Beyond research, she has advanced global knowledge and capacity in microbial risk assessment through training and collaborative initiatives such as launching the QMRA Summer Institute[3] and QMRAwiki[4]. She has also strengthened preparedness for waterborne disease outbreaks worldwide by spearheading major international initiatives such as the Global Water Pathogen Project[5] and Wastewater Sphere[6].

    Recognising a steadfast champion of global public health

    9. Professor Rose, who recently turned 72, has dedicated her professional life to improving water quality and safeguarding public health outcomes. She is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities in water microbiology and received the 2024 International Water Association Global Water Award for her contributions. Today, she continues to lead research on emerging microbial health risks, driven by a deep and enduring commitment to improving lives worldwide. Her work remains critical as cities strengthen their water resilience against evolving public health and climate challenges.

    10. Professor Rose will receive the Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize – an award certificate, a gold medallion, and S$300,000, presented in partnership with Temasek Foundation – at an award ceremony on 16 June 2026, held during the official opening of the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026. She will also deliver a keynote lecture the same day. SIWW2026 is expected to gather 2,500 leaders, experts and practitioners from governments, cities, utilities, and industry, and over 25,000 trade visitors.

    Annex

    Application of QMRA in Singapore’s context

    Leveraging on the concepts embedded in QMRA, PUB has established robust treatment processes and a comprehensive water quality surveillance programme to ensure that Singapore’s drinking water consistently meets both local drinking water regulations, as well as international drinking water standards and guidelines. Today, the approach has evolved from a reactive “end-of-pipe testing” to a “process monitoring” approach, one that is more proactive in identifying potential risks within the treatment process.

    QMRA also enables PUB to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different treatment technologies in managing microbial risks. This allows for informed, evidence-based decisions when selecting suitable technology for Singapore’s water sources, further strengthening the safety and reliability of our water supply. For instance, Singapore has adopted new and advanced technologies for water treatment, such as:

    (i) reverse osmosis for removal of dissolved ions and particles, including viruses, which are too small to be removed through normal filtration; and

    (ii) ultraviolet disinfection and ozonation for disinfection of a broader range of waterborne pathogens.Hashtag: #SingaporeInternationalWaterWeek

    Paymentology Expands into Australia, Powering the Next Generation of Fintech Innovation

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 April 2026 – Paymentology, the leading global issuer-processor, today announced its official entry into the Australian market, marking a significant milestone in its global expansion strategy.

    With a proven track record of enabling banks, fintechs, and digital disruptors worldwide, Paymentology is bringing its advanced, cloud-native processing platform to support Australia’s rapidly evolving payments ecosystem.At the heart of Paymentology’s Australian launch is its local processing infrastructure, enabling seamless connectivity to domestic payment rails, real-time payment systems such as the New Payments Platform, and global card schemes. Paymentology is also working with Cuscal to support connectivity to Bank@Post (Australia Post’s banking service) and EFTPOS, further strengthening its local infrastructure and supporting domestic transactions in Australia. This integration enables access to banking services via the Australia Post network, helping clients deliver more accessible and convenient payment experiences while supporting ongoing innovation in the market.

    Australia’s payments market is evolving rapidly, driven by digital adoption, embedded finance, and a new generation of fintechs and neobanks. With cash now making up less than 13% of retail transactions and mobile wallets accounting for around 45% of in-person payments, the market is well positioned for continued innovation and growth.

    That momentum is also helping expand access to financial services. Across Australia and the wider region, fintechs and digital banks are increasingly serving SMEs, younger consumers, and other underserved segments. Paymentology enables them to build inclusive, accessible products that broaden financial participation.

    Minh Ha Truong, Head of Growth APAC at Paymentology: “Australia is one of the most dynamic payments markets in the world, and a new generation of fintechs and embedded finance providers is redefining what customers expect from financial services. To succeed in that environment, they need infrastructure that won’t slow innovation down or limit growth. By combining global scale with local expertise, we’re helping businesses in Australia build, launch and scale with greater speed, flexibility and confidence.”

    Paymentology’s expansion is further strengthened through its partnership with Constantinople, a modern banking platform designed to simplify the complexity of building and operating financial services. Together, the companies are enabling banks and fintechs to launch and scale card programmes with greater speed, flexibility, and operational efficiency, accelerating time-to-market while reducing the burden of legacy infrastructure.

    Launching a payment product, however, is only the starting point. Paymentology is designed to sustain momentum beyond go-live, supporting clients as they scale, optimise, and expand into new markets. As a cloud-native issuer processor, it combines global reach with deep local expertise to help banks and fintechs build card programmes that perform consistently across geographies and deliver long-term, compounding value.
