The Executives

Sometime by Asian Designers Celebrates Asian Creativity

Some people are content with following the conventional career path, but not Stan Chooi. The co-founder of Sometime by Asian Designers felt something was missing in his life while working in the marketing and branding world. He wanted to create something bigger, something that had meaning. That ‘something’ turned into Sometime, a brand that has redefined designer bags in Asia.  A Leap of Faith  Stan didn’t come from a fashion design background. In fact, he knew nothing about making bags. What he did know, however, was branding and business. Over a casual conversation with his friend, now business partner and wife, Nicole Wong, an idea began to take shape. What if they could create high-quality designer bags that were not limited to the elite? What if they could offer designer craftsmanship at a fraction of the traditional cost?  That idea turned into reality in 2012 when Sometime was born as an online-only business. With no physical stores and no middlemen, they could sell beautifully crafted designer bags at a price that was accessible to many, not just a select few.  Redefining Designer Bags  Stan was never interested in just another luxury brand. Instead, he wanted to prove that you don’t need a big logo or an inflated price tag to own a well-designed, high-quality bag. By handling their own production, Sometime cut out unnecessary markups, allowing them to focus purely on craftsmanship and affordability.  The result? A designer bag without the “luxury” markup, making it possible for fresh grads buying their first ‘grown-up’ bag or young professionals looking for a stylish yet practical accessory to indulge in high-end designs without guilt.  One of the things that makes Sometime so unique is its unwavering commitment to Asian designers. From day one, Stan and his team have sought out talented creatives to collaborate with, providing a platform where designers’ names are just as important as the brand itself.  They’ve worked with Malaysian icons like Sazzy Falak, Vivy Yusof, Rizalman, Alia Bastamam, and Kamwei Fong. They even partnered with internationally renowned designer Jason Wu, who has dressed celebrities like Jessica Alba, Meghan Markle, and Lady Gaga. Each collaboration is a testament to Sometime’s mission which is to celebrate and elevate Asian creativity on a global stage.    Growing a Brand, Sustainably  In an era where fast fashion dominates, Sometime is doing its part to be kinder to the planet. While achieving full sustainability is tough, they are making conscious efforts to reduce their environmental impact. Their heavy-duty collection is made of 90% recycled plastic and grosgrain, and from the beginning, they made the choice to stay away from animal leather. Instead, they invested in high-quality synthetic leather with microfiber, also known as vegan leather.  Their commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. The brand also sources natural cotton canvas from organic fields, avoiding chemical processing. While it’s impossible to be perfect, Sometime is constantly looking for ways to be more eco-conscious without compromising on quality or style.  From Online-Only to a Thriving Business  What started as a small online business has grown into something much bigger. In 2019, Sometime opened its first physical showroom at The Gardens Mall, Kuala Lumpur. Today, they have six showrooms across major locations, including One Utama, IOI City Mall Putrajaya, KL East Mall, Setia City Mall, and IOI Mall Puchong. In 2024, they moved into their 60,000 sq. ft. headquarters, complete with a production facility and warehouse, marking a new chapter of growth.   Despite this success, Stan maintains a “first-day” attitude, constantly learning, evolving, and never becoming complacent.  Lessons from the Toughest Years  Every entrepreneur faces challenges, and for Stan, 2022–2023 tested him in ways he never imagined. With family members battling cancer, he had to split his time between personal responsibilities and running the business. For the first time, he had to step back and trust his top management team to make the big decisions. It was a difficult adjustment, but one that ultimately strengthened the company.  “I learned to let go,” Stan admits. “Now, the top management team plans and presents strategies, and I just need to give the green light. It’s a better way to run a business.”  By now, he estimates that 80% to 90% of operations run smoothly without his direct involvement. Over time, his team has developed strong strategies, and most of the solutions they propose are already complete and ready to be implemented, his role is simply to give the final approval. This shift has reinforced one of the biggest lessons in leadership: trust. Trusting employees to take responsibility and execute their roles well is what allows a business to grow beyond its founders.  His leadership philosophy is simple but powerful, trust your people. Empower them. And always, always invest in the next generation of leaders.  What’s next for Sometime?   International expansion. While the brand already has global visibility thanks to its online presence, the next step is making its mark in new markets, starting with Indonesia.  Looking back, would Stan do it all over again?  “Maybe,” he says with a smile. “If I knew then what I know now, I would have thought things through a lot more. It would have taken me longer to start. But at the end of the day, the sacrifices, the long nights, the lessons, they were all worth it.”  From a simple idea to a brand that champions Asian designers and makes luxury accessible, Sometime by Asian Designers is proof that success isn’t just about fast growth. Sometimes, the best journeys are built on steady, meaningful progress.

Regulation of Cryptocurrency Market in 2025 and Beyond by Global Broker Octa

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 February 2025 – The global cryptocurrency market has seen unprecedented growth in the previous year, spearheaded by Bitcoin and Ethereum. Institutional participation was very important in driving prices higher, with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high above $100,000 in December 2024. With the spreading adoption of crypto assets, regulators have paid even more attention to the industry. Kar Yong Ang, a financial market analyst at Octa Broker, explains what regulation can be expected in 2025 and beyond. Key Events Shaping the Cryptocurrency Market in 2024–2025 The cryptocurrency market has entered a new phase, defined by record-breaking milestones and regulatory shifts that are reshaping opportunities for traders and institutional investors. Bitcoin’s surge past $100,000 in December 2024 underlined the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital assets. Institutional adoption played a leading role in this rally. Companies such as MicroStrategy expanded their Bitcoin holdings, cementing the asset’s store-of-value status, while Bitcoin ETFs made access easier for retail and institutional investors alike, boosting liquidity and demand. This trajectory is also framed through regulatory changes. The friendly crypto attitude taken by the Trump administration, from its Crypto Task Force to the plan for a national Bitcoin reserve, has put the grounds on a much friendlier landscape for institutional investments. Meanwhile, Europe has moved in a structured manner with the full implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework in January 2025, bringing legal clarity and market stability across EU member states. Yet, in Asia, the regulations are mixed: Hong Kong has been trying to reaffirm ambitions to be a digital-asset hub by issuing fresh licenses for new crypto exchanges, while China is tightening restrictions on crypto-related financial activities in its bid to cut high-risk transactions. Factors Influencing Cryptocurrency Prices Factors Influencing Cryptocurrency Prices Regulatory decisions, institutional involvement, and macroeconomic conditions will interact in complex ways to determine the prices of cryptocurrencies in 2025. Regulatory Factors: Frameworks and Compliance Standards Regulatory oversight has remained one of the most significant drivers of market sentiment. The FATF revised its guidelines on virtual assets to include a more robust framework toward compliance to mitigate illicit financial activity. While such efforts bring greater transparency, they simultaneously affect transaction privacy and how decentralised exchanges function, shifting how market participants operate. Yet, in the United States, the SEC’s relaxing of restrictive accounting rules on cryptocurrency holdings has given corporations a clearer pathway for putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet. This, along with the expected acceleration of institutional adoption, will likely increase the presence of digital assets in corporate portfolios. According to Kar Yong Ang, a financial market analyst at Octa Broker, ‘Regulation is going to make the difference to crypto market stability in 2025: even as clearer rules can boost investor confidence, rigid measures may affect liquidity and innovation’. Critical decisions on regulation, macroeconomic factors, and the rise of institutional investors’ participation in the digital asset space will shape the outlook for this year. Macroeconomic Factors: Interest Rates, Inflation, and Monetary Policy Besides regulation, broader economic trends are driving investor behaviour toward crypto assets. For example, the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening in 2024 to contain inflation accelerated demand for alternative assets such as Bitcoin. Many investors now consider Bitcoin digital gold, a hedge against inflation and a store of value during periods of economic turmoil. This trend has been most pronounced in countries with weak fiat currencies, where crypto adoption has accelerated to preserve purchasing power. Institutional Investors and Market Liquidity With the increased participation of corporations and investment funds, crypto markets have become more liquid, thus increasing stability and raising concerns about over-centralisation and regulatory control. With the launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has further consolidated its position and opened up crypto assets to traditional investment channels. This has helped legitimise cryptocurrency further and fed demand for regulated crypto investments. Meanwhile, speculation continues to build over potential government Bitcoin accumulation. Some analysts say the U.S. Treasury could consider adding Bitcoin to its reserves, which would change market dynamics and speed up institutional adoption. While institutional involvement strengthens market stability, it also concentrates Bitcoin holdings in fewer hands, increasing the risks of regulatory intervention and market manipulation and challenging the decentralised foundation of digital assets. The Road Ahead for Crypto Markets In 2025, the cryptocurrency market is defined by regulatory shifts, institutional expansion, and macroeconomic forces. Bitcoin’s surge past $100,000 reflects growing confidence, but its long-term trajectory depends on global policy decisions. The EU’s MiCA framework fosters stability, while the U.S. adopts a more crypto-friendly stance. Meanwhile, Asia remains divided between regulatory tightening and innovation. Institutional players like BlackRock continue to drive liquidity, but the industry must balance mainstream adoption with decentralisation. Staying adaptable will be key for investors looking to navigate and capitalise on emerging opportunities. ___ Disclaimer: Trading involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.
