KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – When navigating online trading recommendations, it’s easy to come across information that goes against the grain of conventional financial wisdom. Some of these bits of advice are questionable, while others can be straight-up harmful to financial outcomes. Octa, a regulated and trusted broker, breaks down some of the worst advice traders can follow and describes potential consequences that can ensue while offering viable counterarguments. Harmful advice #1: forget about brokers’ reputation Imagine a trader who doesn’t care whether their broker is regulated and trusted, focusing solely on short-term financial gains mentioned in ads. This approach can be rooted in the unwillingness to go into too much detail when choosing a broker. After all, the difference between regulated and unregulated brokers often becomes evident only with time. It’s not always possible to spot a difference from the get-go, especially for the less experienced traders. In reality, regulation plays a crucial role in defining brokers’ reliability. Some unregulated brokers may engage in unethical or illegal practices, such as unauthorised trading, churning (excessive trading to generate commissions), or offering fake investment products. In the long term, a more reasonable approach would be to choose an experienced and globally regulated broker whose trustworthiness has been proven by traders’ reviews. If a broker meets the strict criteria of multiple regulatory bodies from various regions, it is much more likely to be a safer choice for traders. Harmful advice #2: withdrawals are always easy, don’t fret about it It’s only natural for those starting their trading journey to look only one step ahead and focus on achieving financial gains first. After all, tapping into a viable source of supplementary income is one of the main reasons why people start trading in the first place. It may seem that once traders have reached their financial goals, cashing in their profits should not be a problem. However, this is where things can easily go wrong unless the broker has been carefully selected based on public information about its withdrawals. By establishing a transparent, user-friendly transactional mechanism and offering a wide variety of withdrawal options, brokers show a client-oriented approach to business and send a clear message to their clients about their reliability. To keep abreast with the industry benchmarks, Octa, a globally recognised broker with more than 14 years of experience, offers a fast and efficient withdrawal procedure confirmed by real-life traders’ reviews. All Octa’s fees and conditions are fully disclosed in the broker’s terms and conditions, creating a reliable trading environment. Harmful advice #3: don’t pay attention to trading conditions At first glance, trading conditions offered by a broker may seem a minor detail that is not worthy of consideration. After all, if a strategy is viable and executed consistently, what could go wrong? But it is worth remembering that in trading, gains and losses are marginal most of the time, and long-term success highly depends on the broker’s fees. When evaluating financial brokers, having more knowledge leads to better decisions. This is especially applicable to trading conditions. Choosing a broker with advantageous conditions, including low spreads, efficient withdrawals, and transparent fees, may not yield immediate gains, but will have a considerable long-term impact on outcomes. Before committing any funds, it is recommended to test the broker’s advertised trading conditions. Only brokers that are fully transparent about their charges are worth the trust. For example, Octa broker’s long and successful track record and lack of hidden fees can be verified through thousands of positive online reviews. However, the best approach remains testing trading conditions firsthand. Harmful advice #4: in trading, caution is for the weak At first glance, for a new trader, risk management tools may appear relevant only in cases involving ultra-short time frames or high-frequency trading activity. Otherwise, spending time on such details may seem unnecessary, since just a few high-risk trades are perceived as decisive. However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. Stop-loss and take-profit orders are a must for any trader, regardless of their style and asset preferences. When traders focus on short-term profits and disregard the strategic aspect of trading, including using risk management tools, they enter the realm of random outcomes, which doesn’t operate in their favour. Ignoring risk management tools and fully trusting emotions during the stressful moments of high market volatility is almost like trying to extinguish fire with gasoline. Trading becomes much less stressful and more efficient when approached with a cool head and uses all the tools at disposal to navigate sudden bursts of volatility. Conclusion In trading, following the fundamental rules from step one is essential for long-term success. These rules include choosing a reliable broker, since this is the only way to ensure a smooth trading experience overall. By ensuring fast withdrawals and a transparent, clearly communicated fee structure, brokers enable their clients to achieve their financial goals—and thus build up their reputation for the long term.

GUANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – The market size of new energy vehicles in China is expanding, and automakers are constantly carrying out innovative reforms. In the first four months of 2025, China’s automobile production and sales both surpassed 10 million units for the first time, according to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). A report from the Passenger Car Market Joint Branch of the China Automobile Dealers Association pointed out that in April, China’s export volume of new energy passenger vehicles reached 189,000 units, increasing by 44.2 percent year-on-year and 31.6 percent month-on-month, accounting for 44.6 percent of the total passenger vehicle exports, up by 14 percentage points compared with the same period last year. Under this trend, Chinese automakers, such as GAC Group, have increased their investment in research and development, especially by constantly innovating in the field of design to meet the needs of young consumers. Chen Ping-chun, an exterior designer of GAC, introduced that in the current electric vehicle industry chain, automotive designers play the role of “magicians,” aiming to turn an attractive pattern into a product. Besides retaining creativity, it also needs to comply with the norms of the automotive industry. Chen Ping-chun introduced that the vehicle appearance he made at that time was the first new energy vehicle with gull-wing doors among the self-owned brands of Chinese automakers. Due to its fashionable body lines, it received a lot of praise. Chen Ping-chun was born in Taiwan and later went to work in Guangdong Province. He said that while living on the Chinese mainland, he found that the most common vehicles he saw on the roads were new energy vehicles. In terms of autonomous driving, some Chinese automakers represented by GAC have already taken the leading position internationally, said Chen.

Through its dual access to TradFi and Web3 and high-limit flexibility, DeCard gives consumers and businesses smarter ways to tap into what they have while managing their cashflow SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – DCS Card Centre, a leading transformative financial institution that pioneered cashless payments as Diners Club Singapore, and Visa (NYSE: V), a global leader in digital payments, have jointly launched DeCard Visa card — a regulated micro credit card with a flexible and high limit, allowing users to top up via fiat or, alternatively, with digital assets. Designed to empower individuals to spend only what they already own, without taking on unnecessary financial risk, DeCard Visa card is a next-generation card that delivers flexibility, control, and transparency across both traditional and digital funding sources, all within a seamless and secure experience. DCS and Visa launch DeCard Visa card — a micro credit card that supports both fiat and digital asset top-ups. From left: George Jiang, Chief Product Officer, DCS; Dr. Cyrus Tong, Chief Compliance Officer, DCS; Lionel Lee, MD, Consumer Cards, DCS; Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies, Visa Asia Pacific; Adeline Kim, Visa Country Manager, Singapore & Brunei; Cheng Haoran, Chief Operating Officer, DCS; Elsa Qiu, Chief Commercial Officer, DCS; Dayna Leng, Chief Marketing Officer, DCS; Kerri Teo, Visa, Head of Sellers & Fintechs, Singapore & Brunei. Meeting the Demands of Digital Growth and Informed Spending In 2024, 26% of Singapore residents owned digital assets — up from 24.4% the year before — with over half having used them for payments and 67% planning to increase usage. At the same time, contactless credit, debit, and prepaid cards remain the most preferred payment method among Singaporeans at 34%, with the prepaid segment projected to reach over US$13 billion by 2028 — reflecting a strong consumer shift toward accessible, controlled spending options. DeCard addresses both trends by offering a spend-what-you-have-model that helps users unlock their fiat or digital assets for everyday use without the burden of overspending. It provides an accessible and frictionless way for users to tap into existing value — without promoting new digital asset adoption. Unlike traditional credit or debit cards, DeCard Visa card operates on a top-up model, where users fund the card through SGD transfers, with the option of using digital assets for those already active in the Web3 community. DeCard Visa card allows these Web3 users to seamlessly convert USDT and USDC into fiat currency for local and global spending through MAS-licensed Digital Payment Token (DPT) service providers. These partners handle all token-to-fiat conversions in full alignment with Singapore’s Payment Services Act for digital assets. Leveraging on Visa’s extensive merchant network, DeCard holders can spend digital assets at over 150 million merchant locations worldwide. The process ensures secure, transparent transactions while adhering to local licensing standards and the MAS’ guidelines on responsible innovation, operating within Singapore’s financial framework. With over 50 years of banking heritage, DCS is a MAS-regulated card issuer under the Banking Act and the pioneer of cashless payments in Singapore as Diners Club Singapore. DCS adheres to stringent banking standards and ensures bank-grade security, applying the same regulatory-first commitment when bridging Web2 and Web3 ecosystems — prioritising governance while enabling evolving digital behavior. The DeCard Visa card is part of DCS’s broader strategy to drive secure, transparent efficiency and real-world digital utility for both traditional and Web3-aligned users. “At DCS, we believe users should have more clarity and control over their spending — not less,” said Elsa Qiu, Chief Commercial Officer at DCS Card Centre. “By enabling top-ups through fiat or digital assets, we’re allowing both mainstream and Web3-savvy users to manage their money on their own terms — all within Singapore’s trusted regulatory framework. Our partnership with Visa strengthens this commitment by combining global acceptance with secure, compliant innovation.” “We are proud to partner with DCS to launch a credit card in Singapore, that bridges traditional finance with digital assets. This innovation enables consumers to convert their stablecoins to fiat for their transactions, allowing seamless payments at any Visa-accepting merchant worldwide. This card programme represents a significant step towards an integrated financial ecosystem where stablecoins can be used for everyday commerce, giving consumers more options in how they access and use their digital assets, while maintaining the security and convenience that Visa can provide,” said Nischint Sanghavi, Head of Digital Currencies – Asia Pacific. Key highlights of DeCard Visa card include Real-World Ready Funding Options Top-up via SGD transfers or select digital assets (via licensed partners) High flexible spending and top-up limit Cost Effective Digital Asset Management Competitive single conversion cost from digital assets to SGD, eliminating additional FX fees for local spending Over 50% savings on FX transaction fees compared to typical industry rates* No annual fees ATM withdrawal fee capped at SGD5 or 1% (whichever is lower) Cash withdrawals are available at ATMs worldwide (except Singapore) Digital Wallet Ready Compatible with Google Pay and Apple Pay Safe and Trusted Issued by DCS, a MAS-regulated financial institution under the Banking Act *The calculation is based on a foreign transaction fee rate of 3.25%, which applies to the majority of credit cards in Singapore. https://www.moneysmart.sg/credit-cards/overseas-spending The DeCard Visa card is foundational to reshaping and modernizing the incumbent payments landscape, starting with Singapore and a vision to scale internationally.

Joint efforts to champion greater inclusivity and access to education including for youths at risk, workforce pursuing social causes and women pursuing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) align with SG60’s theme of “Building Our Singapore Together” SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – PSB Academy (PSBA), Singapore’s leading private education institution (PEI), today announced its over S$2.1 million initiative as it spearheads advocacy for education to be inclusive, and to provide equal opportunities for all. This is in celebration of Singapore’s 60th birthday which focuses on shared values such as boldness, resilience, and openness to unite and progress against the odds over the past six decades. It embodies PSBA’s Beyond60 commitment, empowering individuals to look forward, craft their future, and truly “write your own next 60”. Through the PSB Academy Beyond60 Scholarships initiative PSBA and its university partners will award full scholarships to up to 30 deserving recipients selected by the Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise, raiSE Ltd (raiSE), and United Women Singapore (UWS), and Care Corner Singapore. The scholarships will cover the course of their educational programme which may range from six months to four years, depending on the course selected. The Scholarships for raiSE social enterprises aim to strategically strengthen capabilities of leaders within the sector, enabling a multiplier effect that deepens and scales the positive impact on the communities they empower. The partnership with UWS will provide young women from local polytechnics the opportunity to pursue higher education in STEM and/or other related disciplines. Similarly, the collaboration with Care Corner will support youths preparing for their N and O Levels, those in Nitec, and at-risk youths, helping them achieve their academic aspirations. Scholarships will be awarded in multiple tranches for recipients to commence their courses from as early as second half of this year and as late as December 2026. “PSB Academy, raiSE, UWS, and Care Corner are united by a single, common goal of providing equal opportunities for Singaporeans to progress. We will together identify well-deserving individuals to receive these scholarships, individuals who may otherwise not have the resources to pursue further education to develop their skills and capabilities. As Singapore continues to grow, we must ensure that prosperity extends to more members of the community. It is only when we progress together, that we truly succeed as a society,” said Derrick Chang, Chief Executive Officer, PSB Academy. Recognising the significant growth in public awareness of social enterprises in Singapore (from 13% in 2010[1] to 72% by 2020[2]), raiSE aims to inspire a wider adoption of these impactful business models. Guided by the principle that good business delivers positive impact, empowering leaders is key. These scholarships strategically equip both new and experienced leaders with the essential expertise, strategic foresight, and valuable networks required for impactful development and sustainable expansion within Singapore’s social enterprise landscape. “raiSE firmly believes that social enterprises represent the future of business. Partnering with PSB Academy on these scholarships is a strategic investment in the human capital driving this change. By enhancing the capabilities of the qualifying Social Enterprise founders, we are directly fueling their ability to build sustainable and impactful businesses that address critical social needs in Singapore,” said Alfie Othman, Chief Executive Officer, raiSE. “Empowering young women in underrepresented fields like STEM is key to building an inclusive, progressive society. While progress has been made in Singapore, there’s more to do. That’s why partnerships like ours with PSB Academy are so important – we’re closing the gap by equipping young women with the tools, access, and confidence to thrive,” said Tan Ching Ne, President of United Women Singapore. “Some young people take longer to discover their aspirations or may not thrive within conventional academic routes. This collaboration offers them a crucial second chance — an alternate pathway to pursue higher education and build a better future for themselves. At Care Corner, we believe that with the right support, every youth has the potential to thrive. We hope this scholarship will open doors for those who simply need an opportunity to catch up, keep going, and dream big.” said Christian Chao, Chief Executive Officer, Care Corner Singapore. In 2023, around 17,000 youth[3], aged 15 to 24, in Singapore were not in school, work or training. Later this year, PSBA will organise a celebration to officially recognise and award scholarships to the recipients. All certifications and Diplomas offered by PSBA, as well as Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees by the Academy’s university partners are from the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. This includes Coventry University, University of Hertfordshire, Edinburgh Napier University, La Trobe University, the University of Newcastle Australia, Edith Cowan University, and Massey University. Applications for scholarships through raiSE, UWS, and Care Corner are now open and will close 31 December 2025. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact raiSE, UWS, and Care Corner directly to learn more about eligibility requirements and the application process. Building upon its legacy of 60 years of excellence, PSBA celebrated its Diamond Jubilee Anniversary last year by supporting over 2,000 adult learners in Singapore with more than S$3.5 million in Diamond Jubilee Education Grants for upskilling and reskilling. In the coming months, PSBA will be hosting a series of public engagement activities to cultivate a more inclusive and accessible learning environment. These activations will invite all members of the public to participate in hands-on experiences across the various disciplines offered at the Academy. By fostering greater community involvement, the Academy aims to showcase the core values of accessibility and inclusivity that define it as Asia’s Future Academy. Further details regarding these activities will be provided in due course. In April 2025, PSBA unveiled its third city campus in Singapore at The Cathay as well as inking an Memorandum of Understanding to offer industry-relevant programmes in collaboration with Coventry University and COSEM, a cooperative of Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to train more paramedicine professionals to address the nation’s ricing emergency call volumes and workforce shortages.
