Media OutReach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 April 2025 – The Ascott Limited (Ascott), the wholly owned lodging business unit of CapitaLand Investment (CLI), is accelerating the global growth of its eponymous flagship brand, Ascott, under the company’s newly unveiled multi-typology strategy. Building on strong momentum in 2024, which saw eight new property signings – more than double the previous year’s total – the brand has continued its trajectory with three additional signings in the first four months of 2025. This brings the Ascott brand portfolio to over 80 properties with more than 17,400 units, both operational and in the pipeline, across 43 cities. Across all its 14 brands, Ascott’s global portfolio now totals over 990 properties with more than 170,000 units in 230 cities. The newly signed Ascott Shenton Way Singapore is slated to be the brand’s second Ascott property within the central business district in Singapore – reinforcing the brand’s dominance in the central business districts of gateway cities around the world. The three Ascott-branded properties added in 2025 are Ascott Ortigas Manila in the Philippines, Ascott Shenton Way Singapore in Singapore as well as the first Ascott property in Wenzhou, China. In 2024, signings were secured in Nanjing, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Wuhan and Wuxi, with Ascott Xuanwu Lake Nanjing opening the same year it was signed. The brand also entered Batam, Indonesia with the signing of Ascott Batam, and Nairobi, Kenya in East Africa. Ascott concluded 2024 with the signing of Ascott Residences Batu Ferringhi Penang, reinforcing the brand’s presence in Malaysia. Growing beyond its origins in serviced residences, the Ascott brand is adopting new typologies, including hotels with MICE facilities and branded residences. This underscores the brand’s commitment to offering a comprehensive suite of high-quality global living solutions, tailored for C-suite executives who value the art of fine living. Mr Kevin Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Ascott, said: “In the face of increasing economic uncertainty, Ascott’s flex-hybrid operating model is now reinforced with a multi-typology brand strategy. The core strength of the flex-hybrid model lies in its dual capability to serve transient, short-stays as well as extended, long-stay demand from a single operational framework. When strengthened by a multi-typology brand ecosystem, Ascott’s business model gains a unique competitive edge. This enables Ascott to respond dynamically to demand shifts not just by length of stay, but also by owner and guest profiles, and location offerings.” “As seen from the signing momentum of our flagship Ascott brand across multiple typologies in recent months, this agility in response to dynamic macroeconomic conditions drives sustainable growth. By enhancing operational efficiency, deepening brand loyalty and ensuring adaptability in a dynamic travel landscape, it enables us to match the right brand and typology to each market, meeting demand with precision. For property owners, we offer flexible brand and typology combinations that optimise returns, supported by the strength and recognition of our portfolio for faster market traction. For guests, we deliver diverse accommodation options under the brands they know and trust, creating seamless and rewarding experiences. In a world where agility is the new currency of resilience, this flex-hybrid multi-typology strategy allows Ascott to mitigate downside risk in uncertain times, and to capture growth opportunities and upside potential when new demand corridors emerge,” added Mr Goh. Expanding the Ascott Experience Across New Typologies Under the multi-typology brand strategy, the Ascott brand is broadening its horizons beyond serviced residences, with recent signings and upcoming openings that showcase an expanded portfolio of branded residences and full-service hotels with MICE facilities. Amid this evolution, Ascott stays true to its identity through a distinctive set of brand signatures that reflect its quiet expression of luxury. Timeless interiors, curated lobby art installations and elevated service delivered by the Ascott Artisan are hallmarks of the guest experience. Signature offerings such as Themed Suites and the Ascott Soiree – a cultural initiative spotlighting performing, visual, culinary and couture arts – further immerse guests in the soul of each destination. Together, these elements define Ascott as a sanctuary of fine living, thoughtfully designed for C-suite executives. Ms Tan Bee Leng, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascott, said: “Rather than creating separate brands for each market segment, we extend our well-established brands – including Ascott, Citadines, lyf, Oakwood, Somerset, The Crest Collection and The Unlimited Collection – across diverse accommodation types, ranging from limited select-service to luxury full-service operations. Guided by our brand promise to empower our loyal guests to ‘Stay Your Way’, this multi-typology strategy offers tailored global living solutions to address the diverse travel needs of our guests. It is however more than an operationally adaptive strategy to ensure we deliver a consistent and high-quality brand experience worldwide. It is also a revenue-centric model to extend our market reach and enhance our strategic resilience through yield management and distribution efficiencies. By swiftly tailoring the brand presence and reallocating the service mix based on our multi-typology brand strategy, Ascott is honing our agility to meet the dynamic patterns in travel and guest behaviour.” Branded Residences A notable milestone in this expansion is Ascott’s first branded residence, Ascott Residences Batu Ferringhi Penang, located along the picturesque coastline between the prestigious residential area of Tanjung Bungah and the popular resort destination of Batu Ferringhi in Penang, Malaysia. Set to launch for sale this year by Malaysian developer Instant Icon Sdn Bhd, the greenfield development will feature 99 exclusive residential apartments that fuse refined architectural design with artistic expression. Scheduled for completion in 2028, the property will offer a mix of expansive units ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, topped with an 8,000-square-foot penthouse that epitomises elevated coastal living. Hotels The newly signed Ascott Shenton Way Singapore is located within a 29-storey green sanctuary in the heart of Singapore’s central business district. Slated to be the brand’s third Ascott property in Singapore and the second within the central business district, Ascott Shenton Way Singapore will house 137 units spanning a variety of room configurations that accommodate both short- and extended-stay guests. Facilities include bespoke wellness

Events such as the Rugby Sevens, Art Basel, Art Central, and ComplexCon not only showcased the city’s vibrant cultural scene but also reinforced its status as a dynamic hub for art and culture, both regionally and globally. A recent survey by MDRi, a leading business and consumer insights provider, highlights public sentiment regarding these mega events and their implications for the broader economy. The survey, conducted immediately after the events, polled 1,000 respondents from Hong Kong’s general population. It aimed to measure awareness, participation, and feedback on the four flagship events of Super March. The results highlight Hong Kong’s rich cultural identity and its potential for economic revitalization. Public Awareness and Engagement of the Super March Campaign A significant 55% of respondents were aware of the Super March campaign, with social media being the primary source of information (see figures 1a & 1b). Among the events, Rugby Sevens emerged as the clear favorite, achieving an impressive 89% awareness and drawing 24% of the surveyed population (figures 2a & 2b). Rugby Sevens: The Crown Jewel of Hong Kong Rugby Sevens emerged as the marquee event, receiving positive ratings from 91% of attendees. Contributing factors included the state-of-the-art facilities at Kai Tak Stadium (64% satisfaction), the quality of competition and entertainment (44%), and effective event organization (37%). Awareness of key sponsors, such as Cathay and HSBC, was notably high at 89%. These sponsors enjoyed strong positive sentiment, with Cathay earning a 4.1 out of 5 rating and HSBC a commendable 4.2. Art Basel Hong Kong: An Artistic Feast Art Basel attracted a wealthier audience, boasting the highest average personal income (HKD 44K) and liquid assets (HKD 2.74 million, see table 1) among all events. A striking 86% of attendees rated their experience positively, with over 73% praising the quality of the artwork and exhibits. The event reinforces Hong Kong’s reputation as a major global art center alongside New York, London and Paris. Awareness of the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s sponsorship reached 74%, while UBS garnered recognition from 66% of respondents, earning a positive rating of 4 out of 5. “Art Basel not only showcased incredible artwork from global artists but also highlighted Hong Kong as a global art destination,” noted an art enthusiast. Art Central: Carving a Niche Despite modest awareness (26%), Art Central impressed attendees with its facilities (72% positive rating), quality of artwork (57%), and organization (44%). Over 80% provided glowing feedback, signaling its potential to carve out a niche in Hong Kong’s artistic landscape. Awareness of the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s sponsorship reached 76%, with 50% recognizing UOB as a partner, who received a favorable rating of 3.9 out of 5. “Art Central is a good complement to Art Basel and serves as a showcase for both established and emerging Asian artists,” remarked a visitor. ComplexCon: Engaging the Next Generation ComplexCon distinguished itself by attracting the largest share of Gen Z attendees (45%) among the key March events (figure 7). Despite a 21% awareness level, attendee enthusiasm was evident, with 89% expressing satisfaction and 87% indicating a desire to return. Its contemporary vibe positions ComplexCon as a forward-thinking platform for younger demographics. Awareness of HSBC as the key sponsor was 68%, with a positive rating of 4.1 out of 5, and 47% recognized the Hong Kong Tourism Board’s sponsorship. The Bigger Picture: Economic Sentiments and Future Outlook The survey reveals promising optimism about Hong Kong’s economic future. Notably, 72% of respondents believe the “Super March” campaign will invigorate the city’s economy, with 91% identifying Rugby Sevens as the event with the highest economic impact (figures 8a & 8b). The successful execution of these events demonstrates Hong Kong’s capacity to host mega events that attract international audiences and foster economic development. Major sponsors, including Cathay, HSBC, UBS, and UOB, received positive ratings, underscoring their critical roles and the success of their sponsorship in driving brand awareness and fostering positive sentiment towards their brands. Super March has proven to be more than just a festive celebration; it serves as a model for revitalization, showcasing Hong Kong’s role on the global stage. The momentum generated during the month lays a strong foundation for the city’s continued post-pandemic recovery, emphasizing its unique blend of sports, arts, and culture. Simon Tye, CEO of MDRi, said, “The success of Super March not only reflects the vibrancy of Hong Kong’s cultural identity but also reinforces its standing as a premier destination for global events, driving both cultural exchange and economic growth.” He added, “The commitment of the Hong Kong Tourism Board and its sponsors to promoting our city is clearly reflected in the success of Super March.” Hong Kong is poised for resurgence as a center of excellence in arts, culture, sports, and entertainment. With sustained investment in infrastructure and targeted promotional strategies that embrace innovation and exciting offerings, the city is well-positioned to bring joy to its residents while attracting global audiences and fostering economic growth.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 April 2025 – Smartcom, a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in Singapore, is expanding its reach beyond the city-state into Indonesia. This initiative aims to bring Smartcom’s mission-critical Push-to-Talk (PTT) solutions to a significantly larger market, addressing the communication needs of various key industries. Smartcom Expands into Indonesia to Strengthen Regional PTT Communications Advancing from Local to Regional Mission-Critical Communications Since 2015, Smartcom has partnered with TASSTA and Singtel to deliver reliable PTT communication coverage in Singapore. However, expanding into a larger and more diverse market like Indonesia presents new challenges. Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, offers a growing market for mission-critical communication solutions. With a developing digital economy, government initiatives like “100 Smart Cities”, and a workforce of approximately 160 million, the country presents opportunities for expanded PTT services. Additionally, the adoption of TASSTA’s solutions by the Indonesian police force (Korlantas) and national railway operator (Kereta Api Indonesia) highlights the need for large-scale, reliable communication systems in key industries. Meeting Industry-Specific Needs with Scalable Solutions Indonesia’s industrial landscape, particularly in mining and oil and gas (O&G), differs from Singapore’s, creating a demand for specialised push-to-talk solutions. Large-scale events, such as national celebrations and religious gatherings, also require mission-critical PTT communication that remains functional despite high network congestion. As part of its expansion, Smartcom is collaborating with Indonesia’s largest telecommunications provider, Telkomsel, to offer priority bandwidth during high-traffic events. Additionally, solutions designed for hazardous environments, such as ATEX-certified mobile phones and tablets, provide reliable tools for O&G companies that require safe, reliable communication in high-risk settings. Driving Business Growth and Customer Value Smartcom’s regional expansion is part of its long-term strategy to grow its customer base and extend services to new markets. By entering the Indonesian market, Smartcom aims to scale its offerings and strengthen its regional footprint. With a broader customer base, the company aims to optimise economies of scale to enhance product range, customisation capabilities, and local technical support. Clients with operations in both Singapore and Indonesia may benefit from streamlined, cross-border PTT solutions that drive coordination. This also demonstrates the adaptability of Smartcom’s business model in different markets. Unlike traditional PTT trunking operators, which often face regulatory and financial challenges when expanding internationally, Smartcom’s cellular-based technology offers a more flexible approach to regional operations. Strengthening Partnerships and Technological Advancements As part of its growth strategy, Smartcom is exploring partnerships with software providers in areas such as facilities management and service optimisation. These collaborations aim to enhance its PTT platform by integrating software solutions that support operational efficiency in various industries. They are also working with Samsung Knox Mobile Device Management (MDM) to incorporate security measures into its cellular-based PTT communication solutions. As these systems rely on mobile networks, cybersecurity remains a key consideration in ensuring secure and uninterrupted communication for businesses. Overcoming Challenges and Looking Ahead Expanding into a new market comes with its challenges. To mitigate these, Smartcom has been working closely with Enterprise Singapore to better understand Indonesia’s business landscape. With support from the Market Readiness Grant, they have been able to address initial obstacles related to legal and market-entry requirements. Looking ahead, Smartcom will continue to adapt its approach based on industry demands and regulatory developments in Indonesia. The company aims to refine its service offerings, assess potential expansion into other sectors, and explore further partnerships. The official launch event for Smartcom’s Indonesia expansion will take place on 29th April, at BAKU Jakarta (Electronic City SCBD), starting at 12pm.

Seeking the Next Ambassador to Continue the Mission of Spreading Magic and Helping Others HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 April 2025 – Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) has been a cornerstone of joy and magical memories for 20 years, delighting guests and fans while also dedicating itself to community service. The 2024-2025 Disney Ambassadors Gisele Abejero and Beyan Tse represent the resort, working alongside Disney VoluntEARS to bring Disney magic to those in need, including young patients, underprivileged families, people with disabilities, and minority groups. Cover Photo (Gisele and Beyan) As HKDL celebrates its 20th anniversary, the pair and all cast members invite everyone to join the grand celebration starting from June 28. With their term coming to an end, they are also on the search for the next ambassador(s) to continue spreading Disney’s legacy of joy and magic. Stepping Out of Comfort Zones: Unlocking New Skills Gisele, who hails from the Philippines, and Beyan, a native Hongkonger, come from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences. They have shown incredible courage in stepping out of their comfort zones to pursue their dreams, shaping who they are today. Gisele, who has been working at HKDL for 17 years, is the first Disney Ambassador of Filipino descent at HKDL. She began her career at the Entertainment team and showcasing her extensive stage experience in different shows including “The Golden Mickeys”, “Mickey and the Wondrous Book” and “Festival of the Lion King.” She shared, “As a dancer, I rarely speak or interact directly with guests on stage. As Disney Ambassador, I have to frequently engage with different people and even host events. I keep learning and growing. I unlock new skills along the way and discovering a different side of myself.” Beyan has been a lifelong Disney fan. Previously working behind the scenes in Sourcing, she made the bold decision to step into the spotlight. She recalled, “becoming a Disney Ambassador is the bravest decision I have ever made in my life. Over the past year, I have visited various operational teams, including food & beverage, housekeeping and horticulture, taking on different roles and participating in daily tasks. These experiences have boosted my confidence, and very proud of every professional and passionate cast member.” Reaching Every Corner of the Community: Spreading Disney Magic Gisele and Beyan have actively participated in various community service initiatives, supporting Disney VoluntEARS and bringing Disney magic to life through their work. Last year, HKDL collaborated with Heep Hong Society to launch a first-ever and largest pilot program offering real-life social adaptation training for children with special educational needs (SEN). Gisele and Beyan, along with Disney VoluntEARS, engaging in activities such as ordering food at park restaurants and queuing for shopping. This program provides unique training experience for children with SEN, giving them more opportunities to practice and integrate into the community. As the mother of three children including a daughter with SEN, Gisele shared her experience: “As a mother of an SEN child, I deeply understand the challenges of taking children out. As Disney Ambassador, I aim to raise awareness and support for SEN children through my participation in events, helping them feel more love and care.” Gisele affirmed her commitment to continue participating in related activities even after her term ends. She believes that being a Disney Ambassador is not just a two-year role but a lifelong commitment to supporting both the resort and the community. Gisele and Beyan also joined Mickey and Minnie Mouse in visiting children at the Hong Kong Children’s Hospital and took part in HKDL’s Christmas toy donation campaign. Additionally, they worked closely with the Make-A-Wish®, creating unique park experiences for wish children. Since 2008, HKDL has made over 340 wishes come true. Beyan recalled several heartwarming stories from the wish kids: “One little girl, dressed as a princess, met her favorite Elsa, and it felt like the whole world stood still. Her pure smile was truly touching.” Another memorable moment involved a boy with illness who was using a wheelchair. Despite his frail condition, when he saw the beloved Mickey Mouse, he mustered all his strength to lift his hand and give him a high-five, leaving even his parents in awe. “Seeing him completely immersed in the happiness of that moment made me realize the true mission of Disney Ambassadors — to create hope with Disney magic,” Beyan said. Bridging Connections Through Media: Sharing Disney Fun Facts Beyond their community service, Gisele and Beyan have been actively sharing park updates and behind-the-scenes moments from their daily live through the official HKDL Ambassador social media accounts. They’ve also produced a series of engaging interactive videos, such as “Ambassador’s Vlog” and “Trivia Game On”. These fun-filled videos highlight little-known Disney trivia, bridging the gap between cast members and guests. The duo happily shared, “Many fans who spot us filming in the park often seize the opportunity to get on camera!” Speaking of trivia, here’s a question for you: What gift did the Beast give Belle to express his love? You can find the answer on the HKDL Ambassador Instagram and Facebook pages! Embark on an Extraordinary Journey – Become the Next Disney Ambassador Gisele and Beyan’s stories showcase how Disney magic transforms live and inspires everyone to believe in the power of dreams and happiness. Their journey as Disney Ambassadors is profoundly meaningful and enriched with unique experiences. Becoming a Disney Ambassador is a once-in-a-lifetime journey filled with invaluable experiences, such as participating in professional training and exchanges with global Disney Ambassadors and having the opportunity to attend the D23 Expo in California, interacting with and inspiring countless dreamers. This year, as HKDL celebrates its 20th anniversary, Gisele and Beyan have the honor of commemorating this significant milestone with everyone. With their two-year term coming to an end this year, they are actively searching for the next ambassador(s). “Passion, positive attitude, and a willingness to embrace new challenges are keys to success!” they shared.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today released its New Kids on the Block: Generation Z and the Changing Office Workplace on the Chinese Mainland report. This report analyses the evolving needs of the “new kids on the block”, Generation Z, on the Chinese mainland and their implications for the office workplace in the region. Survey data included in the report reveals Chinese Generation Z’s priorities of flexibility, collaboration, and sustainability. Additionally, this report emphasises the importance of optimising office spaces to attract and retain the Chinese Generation Z demographic, using Cushman & Wakefield’s Experience per Square Foot (XSF) metric as a key performance indicator. Finally, four included case studies illustrate successful workplace strategies on the Chinese mainland, offering actionable insights for organisations seeking to create appealing and productive work environments for Generation Z in the same region. An Important Demographic The “new kids on the block”, or Generation Z, on the Chinese mainland are an increasingly important demographic in the region. Generation Z on the Chinese mainland are a unique cohort, having been shaped by economic growth, the one-child policy, and the rise of the Internet. As the office-based Generation Z employee cohort grows in number and significance on the Chinese mainland, so CRE practitioners will have to deepen their office workplace change management and office workplace strategy on this generation to ensure the office workplace is fully optimised for the future. Questionnaire Survey: What proportion of your organisation’s current office-based workforce on the Chinese mainland fall within the Generation Z age group? Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research Needs Alignment – Crucial Generation Z on the Chinese mainland look for collaboration, and a strong organisational culture. They seek office workplaces that promote wellbeing and inclusivity. According to our survey and Figure 16, “flexibility and a work-life balance”, “personalisation, comfort and the promotion of a sense of belonging” and “meaningful work and purpose” are the top three priorities cited by CRE practitioner respondents that are best catered to by their organisation’s office workplace on the Chinese mainland. Questionnaire Survey: Looking at the priorities that Generation Z generally value, which priorities do you feel your organisation’s office workplace on the Chinese mainland caters to best? Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research Gaps Present Our survey of corporate real estate (CRE) practitioners on the Chinese mainland and their perceptions on current and future office workplace optimisation for Generation Z in the region, revealed significant gaps between existing office working conditions and Generation Z expectations. The returned information and data underscores the urgency for organisations on the Chinese mainland to adapt their office workplaces and implement strategies that align with the evolving needs of the Generation Z demographic. Questionnaire Survey: Looking to the future, what changes will your organisation look to make to ensure your office workplace on the Chinese mainland is appealing/even more appealing to your organisation’s Generation Z employees? Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research XSF – A Value-Add Tool Cushman & Wakefield’s Experience per Square Foot (XSF) is a key metric for evaluating office workplace experience. In simple terms, XSF measures employee experience, wellbeing, and performance, while also defining the office workplace’s role within the occupier’s unique office workplace ecosystem. Lastly, office workplace strategy case studies that Cushman & Wakefield have worked on, on the Chinese mainland, clearly illustrate how XSF can be used to guide strategic decisions, improve employee wellbeing, enhance employee productivity, and ultimately optimise the office workplace for our clients in the region, including their Generation Z employee cohort. Johnathan Wei, President, Project & Occupier Services, China, said, “To align with Generation Z’s unique characteristics and their expectations in the modern work environment on the Chinese mainland, office workplaces in the region need to integrate technology and create spaces that foster connection, wellbeing, sustainability and productivity.” Lois Yang, Senior Associate Director, Workplace Strategy & Change Management, Occupier Services, China, said, “Organisations on the Chinese mainland should explore a workplace ecology that links people, purpose and place to better meet the needs of Generation Z in the region. Also, the strategies need to be implemented via a systematic approach in order to create the workplace that helps attract and retain talent.” Shaun Brodie, Head of Research Content, Greater China, said, “Generation Z are digitally fluent; they desire flexibility, a work-life balance and have a strong focus on sustainability and social responsibility. Understanding these traits is crucial to curate the appropriate office workplace experience for this demographic. Through enhanced experience, this office workplace will not only be engaging and alluring to Generation Z talent but will also be that much more productive.” Please click here to download the full report.
