SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 April 2025 – Leading mental wellbeing agency Cognitive Approach to Life Management (CALM) International has been awarded Best Technological Collaboration at the Singapore International Chamber of Commerce Awards 2025 for its groundbreaking work in providing accessible mental health services for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in Singapore. Award Presentation with DPM Heng Swee Keat Presented by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, the award recognizes CALM International’s collaboration with FingerDance, a leading technology platform enhancing communication for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, as well as people with speech disabilities. “We must continue working with innovation nodes around the world to deepen innovation, find new growth sectors, and tackle common challenges,” shares Mr. Heng Swee Keat, elaborating that businesses both foreign and local, and across all sizes and scales can make useful contributions in this area. This integration of FingerDance’s assistive technology will eventually allow CALM International to provide seamless real-time translation for psychological consultations, both online and in-person. The collaboration sets a new standard for accessible mental health care and highlights CALM International’s ongoing commitment to advancing mental wellbeing through innovation. Driving Mental Health Innovation for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing The Singapore International Chamber of Commerce Innovation Award recognizes CALM International’s groundbreaking efforts in making mental health services accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. This recognition is especially significant given that individuals with hearing disabilities are nearly twice as likely to experience mental health issues such as depression and anxiety compared to the general population, as reported by NHS England Mental Health Services for Deaf People. A study published in Verywell Mind further highlights that communication barriers and social isolation are major contributors to these challenges. Despite this increased risk, access to tailored psychological care remains limited. “For too long, the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and people with speech disabilities have been left behind in the mental healthcare space. We can no longer afford to ignore the reality that these communication barriers are driving mental health disparities,” shares Dr. Stephen-Claude Hyatt, Co-Founder of CALM International. “This partnership with FingerDance is a pivotal step in ensuring that they are able to access the care they deserve.” Through their partnership with FingerDance, CALM International bridges this gap through AI-powered sign language models, enabling real-time translation for psychological consultations. This initiative integrates online and in-person care, setting a new standard for inclusive mental health support and reinforcing CALM International’s role as a leader in global psychological services. Global Standard in Premium Psychological Services Founded by Dr. Stephen-Claude Hyatt from Jamaica, and Desmond Tan from Singapore, CALM International is a leading provider of evidence-based psychological services. Through the commitment of Dr. Hyatt, Mr. Tan, as well as CEO and fellow business partner Esmond K.L. Quek, CALM International has been able to maintain a high standard of service quality. Adhering to the rigorous standards of the American Psychological Association (APA), CALM International ensures that every case – from mild learning differences to severe trauma, and everything in between – is handled with the highest level of expertise and care. For children with learning differences, CALM International works closely with international schools throughout Asia and elsewhere to provide psychological educational analysis, otherwise known as psychoeducational assessment. Conducted by highly trained professionals, this multi-day evaluation includes anywhere between 8 to 10 specialized tests to ensure accurate diagnoses and tailored support. “Early mental well-being support can make a profound difference in a child’s development, allowing them to have the head start they deserve,” shares Esmond K.L. Quek, CEO and partner of CALM International. CALM International also offers specialized therapy, including Play Therapy for children as young as four, reinforcing the importance of early intervention. They also provide therapeutic interventions for adolescents and adults, in the form of individualized therapy, as well as family therapy, group therapy, pre-marital and marital therapy. A Globally Recognised Partner CALM International’s commitment to quality extends beyond individuals and families, being one of the few mental healthcare providers in Singapore recognized by major international insurance companies under their corporate programmes. This allows professionals with insurance coverage to access high-quality mental wellbeing services without out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, CALM International’s recognition by global educational authorities ensures that students with learning differences receive appropriate accommodations for a fair academic experience. Corporate Expertise in Employee Well-being and Executive Hiring CALM International supports corporations through its comprehensive Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), helping employees manage workplace stress, adapt to challenges, and stay motivated. During periods of corporate restructuring, CALM International provides guidance to help employees navigate career transitions, offering psychological support to ease uncertainty and realign professional goals. At the executive level, CALM International partners with global corporations to enhance leadership hiring through psychological profiling, ensuring informed decisions and fostering a stronger, more cohesive management team and healthier workplace culture.

Innovative Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) technology boosts reliability and reduces cleaning, inspection and maintenance requirements Use of 3M™ EBO Ferrule helps streamline deployments, increase efficiency and decrease need for cleaning and maintenance to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) Flexible design includes options to integrate 12, 16 or 144 fibers into a single connector, simplifying cable routing while delivering higher fiber density Use of EBO connectors with 3M EBO ferrules results in 85%-time savings for intra-rack data center applications LISLE, IL – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 April 2025 – Molex, a global electronics leader and connectivity innovator, today unveils its VersaBeam Expanded Beam Optical (EBO) Interconnect Solutions, an innovative family of high-density fiber connectors optimized for hyperscale data center, cloud and edge computing environments. This robust product portfolio leverages the 3M™ EBO Ferrule, which expands the beam between connectors to reduce sensitivity to dust and debris, while dramatically decreasing the need for frequent cleaning, inspection and maintenance. With VersaBeam EBO technology, faster deployment speeds can be achieved because fewer connections are required, reducing installation time and complexity. “The best designs often are the simplest, which is true with Molex VersaBeam EBO connectors as customers can make reliable connections with one click,” said Trevor Smith, general manager, Optical Connectivity, Molex. “No special skillsets are needed to install these connectors, empowering organizations to rapidly reap the performance and cost benefits of resilient, scalable fiber connectivity.” Next-Gen Connectors for Tomorrow’s Data Centers To keep pace with the unrelenting rise of AI-driven capacity increases, data center providers must continually upgrade bandwidth while minimizing infrastructure changes. Ideally suited for intra-rack and server connections, Molex’s VersaBeam EBO technology fits more fibers into a very small form factor (VSFF) to maximize rack-unit usage and minimize space. “Expanded Beam Optical connectors are the future of high-speed, resilient data center infrastructure,” said Kevin Twomey, global portfolio director, Electronics Materials Solution Division, 3M. “We are excited to collaborate with Molex to transform multi-fiber connectivity in data centers. This technology is a game-changer compared to traditional connectors — significantly reducing contamination risks while boosting deployment speed and performance.” Molex’s VersaBeam EBO connectors deliver high-fiber density without spring-force limitations, enabling optimal alignment and plug-and-play assembly. They are available in single- and multi-mode options, including 12- and 16-fiber connectors, as well as high-density connectors with as many as 144 fibers per connector, to facilitate more flexible system designs, easier cable routing in space-constrained environments, and expedited data center turn-ups. Faster, Easier Deployment Leads to Reduced TCO VersaBeam EBO connectors do not require a lot of effort or expertise to deploy and maintain, which alleviates current concerns over labor shortages of highly skilled data center technicians. Moreover, both termination times and component counts are reduced, which saves operational expenses, lowers supply chain complexity and produces turn-up time savings for reduced TCO. “Molex’s VersaBeam EBO brings tremendous value by removing the struggle of connecting our data center infrastructure while simplifying cleaning and inspecting every connection at a lower power density,” said Dave Boertjes, senior director, Advanced Photonic Networks R&D, Ciena. “By utilizing VersaBeam EBO, we achieved a 6X time reduction in inspection cleaning, which is critical to speeding deployments and keeping pace with the current landscape.” During a 3M customer field test of EBO connectors with a hyperscale data center customer, similar time savings were realized when compared to the deployment of conventional MPO connectors. For 3M’s test, the elimination of cleaning and inspection yielded a total time savings of 85%, totaling more than six hours in reduced deployment time.[i] Product Availability Molex’s VersaBeam EBO Interconnect Solutions family is now available. Molex Optical Connectivity Solutions Showcase at OFC 2025 Molex’s new groundbreaking VersaBeam EBO Connectors will be featured at OFC 2025, booth 5945, April 1-3 in San Francisco. Molex optical experts will be on hand to address this latest product innovation and share how the company’s vast connector capabilities are designed to increase data-center fiber density faster and more easily.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 April 2025 – Octa, a global broker since 2011, surveyed more than 2,000 traders from Indonesia, Malaysia, South Africa, and Nigeria to discover their most glaring concerns regarding choosing a financial broker. What are the most suspicious brokers’ traits, according to traders? How do traders identify potentially unreliable service providers in the highly diversified e-brokerage landscape? Below is the breakdown of Octa’s research on brokers’ red flags. Every experienced trader knows a handful of tell-tale signs indicating an unreliable broker. This awareness can come from personal experience, common sense, or secondhand accounts. In any case, these red flags define traders’ choices. They are essential knowledge for those starting their journey in the financial markets or seeking an opportunity to engage with a new broker. As a trusted broker focusing on building long-term, mutually beneficial client relations, Octa regularly researches traders’ behaviours. Here’s what traders think about brokers’ red flags. Realistic expectations First and foremost, Octa’s survey revealed a strong interest in brokers’ promises. It turns out traders are highly unappreciative of murky, evasive, and overly optimistic messages. This kind of false assurance and misleading self-positioning on the part of a broker can turn them off even before their trading journey begins. When asked about major red flags in brokers’ advertising and positioning, South African and Malaysian traders indicated the most concern about companies that promise easy and unrealistic gains: 62% and 60%, respectively. 36% of Indonesian traders also said this type of misrepresentation was enough to scare them off. Guaranteed profits declared by the broker are also a major red flag for traders in various regions. This is especially true about South Africa, where 40% of survey participants said they wouldn’t engage with a broker promising bulletproof positive outcomes. Chart manipulations: a universal red flag Unsurprisingly, more than half of the respondents in all countries indicated that trading chart manipulations like creating artificial gaps or manipulating candlesticks would be a major concern and would most probably lead to saying goodbye to a broker, regardless of other factors. There is almost no discrepancy between different survey countries regarding this red flag: between 54% and 61% of traders stay away from brokers that allow such malpractices. As a regulated and trusted broker, Octa works with independent, third-party liquidity providers to offer its clients non-distorted market prices. Octa also provides access to historical chart data so that traders can verify that the broker’s prices align with actual market conditions and that there were no chart manipulations or price slippages at any given time. Fast withdrawals as a recognised sign of reliability A surprisingly high percentage of participants said they had encountered serious fund withdrawal issues in their trading careers. As many as 27% of respondents in South Africa indicated they had had this problem at some point in their trading journey. 21% of Indonesian and 19% of Malaysian traders also had insoluble problems with the cash withdrawal process when engaging with various financial brokers. Nigerian traders were less exposed to this negative side of the trading experience, with only 14% reporting unsolved withdrawal issues. Octa recommends testing a broker first-hand and forming your own opinion instead of mindlessly believing optimistic promises. Among other advantages, the broker offers a fast and efficient withdrawal procedure that can easily be tested by any trader who engages with Octa, regardless of the country. High fees can be a deal-breaker When asked what broker’s flaw is most likely to stop them from becoming the broker’s client, most survey participants highlighted the following two main reasons: high spreads and hidden trading commissions (from 29% in South Africa to 39% in Indonesia) slow, non-transparent, or unfavourable cash withdrawal procedures and rules (from 13% to 29%, depending on the country). These results show that traders highly value full transparency and fair trading conditions in addition to fast and efficient withdrawals. Indeed, when it comes to intraday trading, high spreads or hidden fees can turn a profitable trading session into a losing one. Such an outcome can come as a shock to a trader if the real-life commissions and fees differ from those indicated by a broker in terms and conditions. Wrong moves The Octa’s survey was not limited to brokers’ red flags and made a foray into traders’ self-reflection. When asked what trading mistakes led them to significant losses, survey participants indicated the following reasons as the most prevalent: trading when affected by strong emotions forgetting about management tools placing orders intuitively, without any specific strategy in mind executing strategies without trying them on the demo account first. Other reasons for making bad trading decisions include trading when feeling fatigued. Overall, it is safe to say that emotional behaviours are among the most dangerous negative factors affecting traders’ performance. The research established that Indonesian, Malaysian, South African, and Nigerian traders prefer to work with brokers that provide a sense of security and transparency. They look for clear, predictable, and honest procedures that avoid hidden fees or complex withdrawal conditions, which can help establish long-term relationships with brokers based on mutual respect and clarity. ___ Disclaimer: Trading involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.

This enhanced digital presence is complemented by our commercial strategy which focuses on offering compelling deals, benefits and exclusive experiences to ASR members. It also underscores ASR’s role in driving direct bookings for Ascott properties, reducing our reliance on online travel agencies. ASR members tend to book more frequently, hence contributing to higher profitability for property owners while delivering richer data insights for Ascott to enhance guest experiences and brand loyalty.” “Looking ahead, Ascott will be stepping up our loyalty engagement with corporate accounts, to create compelling ASR offerings for business travellers as well as the companies they represent. We are also broadening the ASR ecosystem with more strategic partnerships such as airlines and airports, to reward members with more perks to enrich their stay experiences with Ascott.

New features, including the pilot of direct booking capabilities within Cubby, further personalise the experience by offering tailored property recommendations and the best rates. Ascott will further harness AI to uplift the ASR programme to support the planning journey of its guests.
