Insternity Group, Myint Mo Shyan, and MyanLife Partner with KBZ Foundation to Support Mandalay’s Post-Earthquake Reconstruction with Modular Building Technology

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – In March of this year, a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck the Mandalay region of Myanmar, causing severe casualties and widespread destruction. In response to this emergency, Singapore-based Insternity Group Pte Ltd swiftly partnered with local Myanmar enterprises Myint Mo Shyan and MyanLife to provide immediate relief through modular building technology. This joint initiative, executed in collaboration with the KBZ Foundation, fully demonstrates a firm commitment to social responsibility and long-term community support. The photo shows the completed modular houses, which are now occupied as offices. From left to right at the donation ceremony are: Barbie Tsai (CEO of Insternity Group), Saw Dino Ku (MD of Myint Mo Shan), U Aung Ko Win (Chairman of KBZ Group), and U Nyo Myint (Vice-Chairman of KBZ Group). Innovative Modular Housing: A Fast, High-Quality Solution for Reconstruction Insternity Group and Myint Mo Shyan have long been advocates for sustainable and socially impactful architecture. As Myanmar’s only one-stop lifestyle platform combining e-commerce with food, travel, and other discount vouchers, MyanLife has a long history of dedication to philanthropy and is committed to enhancing local leisure experiences. Following the disaster, the three parties immediately launched their relief efforts. In Mandalay, the application of modular construction allowed for the rapid deployment of offices and residential units, which played a crucial role in restoring infrastructure and maintaining the continuity of services in the affected areas. In the initial phase, Insternity Group and Myint Mo Shyan constructed modular offices and dormitories for the KBZ Foundation to ensure uninterrupted operations. MyanLife, leveraging its extensive charitable experience, helped coordinate relief resources and assess community needs, ensuring that reconstruction efforts precisely addressed the actual needs of the affected population. These high-quality units feature durable structures, effective insulation, and ventilation systems, and are designed to be flexible for emergency or transitional needs. Financial Stability Supports Community Recovery The KBZ Foundation’s new modular office facilities are now fully operational, with employee dormitories expected to be completed in the coming weeks. This development ensures the continued provision of essential financial services and economic support, highlighting the critical role of modular solutions in disaster resilience and sustainable reconstruction. Working Together to Rebuild Hope Saw Dino Ku, Managing Director of Myint Mo Shyan, said, “When the earthquake struck Myanmar, I was determined to provide the fastest and most effective response for the victims. The concept of modular buildings, with their potential for significant impact, immediately came to mind. I immediately contacted the CEO of my partner, Insternity, and the MyanLife team to discuss the possibility of collaborating and donating for the earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar. We all saw the potential and decided to build and donate a ‘modular building’ for the KBZ Foundation’s disaster response center in Mandalay. Why modular? Compared to traditional timber-framed construction, it offers faster construction time, potentially lower costs, and higher energy efficiency. We believe this unique approach to emergency relief can make a significant difference.” Barbie Tsai, CEO of Insternity Group, stated, “In the face of tragedy, we must respond not only with speed but also with empathy. Our goal is to rebuild hope through construction—creating not just shelters but foundations for a new future. Together with our partners, we stand proudly with the people of Mandalay.” MyanLife also leveraged its long-standing charitable experience to serve as a community link, helping to integrate relief resources and assess the actual needs of affected communities to ensure that humanitarian aid provides maximum benefit. Later this year, MyanLife plans to launch more charitable initiatives to continue supporting vulnerable groups. Corporate Social Responsibility and a Sustainable Future This cross-national collaboration demonstrates the power of international cooperation and corporate compassion. The joint efforts of Insternity Group, Myint Mo Shyan, MyanLife, and the KBZ Foundation show how socially responsible business practices can play a key role in emergency recovery, community reconstruction, and building long-term resilience. By combining Singapore’s expertise in architectural technology, Myanmar’s local implementation capabilities, and MyanLife’s deep-rooted philanthropic experience, this model of cooperation sets a new benchmark for future disaster response. Innovative Modular Housing: A Fast, High-Quality Solution for Reconstruction Insternity Group and Myint Mo Shyan have long been advocates for sustainable and socially impactful architecture.

W Energy Brings Advanced AI Energy Forecasting Back to Australia in Partnership with Simble

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – Australian clean energy innovation takes a leap forward as W Energy, a new energy technology company, teams up with long-established ASX-listed Simble Solutions (ASX: SIS) to deploy AI-driven energy forecasting and management solutions nationwide. Simble has also formally engaged Yongxin Sun, W Energy’s founder and former AI Clean Energy GLOBAL lead, to provide technical support and strategic guidance. Mr. Sun combines expertise in finance, large-scale energy project modelling, and applied AI technology. W Energy’s AI forecasting platform originated in Australia to enhance solar and battery performance predictions while integrating financial modelling for investors and operators. Due to limited local data early on, the system was trialed in Southeast Asia across Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. These deployments delivered diverse climate and grid datasets, mature near real-time forecasting capabilities, and proven commercial benefits such as reduced investment risk and optimized storage dispatch. Now commercially mature, W Energy and Simble will begin rolling out projects in New South Wales, expanding to Queensland and Victoria. The partnership leverages W Energy’s predictive AI for generation, demand, and pricing optimization alongside Simble’s established market presence and energy monitoring tools. Together, they will serve commercial buildings, industrial precincts, and regional grid networks, supporting virtual power plants, dynamic pricing response, and grid resilience. This collaboration aligns with Australia’s energy transition goals, using AI to boost renewable penetration and grid flexibility. The platform integrates real-time IoT sensor data with historical weather and market information, applies adaptive algorithms for storage dispatch, and incorporates financial scenario modelling to assess project returns under varying conditions—all secured to comply with Australian data standards. Key benefits include higher forecasting accuracy across diverse weather conditions, direct integration of financial metrics into operational decisions, and scalability from small commercial sites to utility-scale assets. Potential applications range from energy cost reductions for commercial customers to enhanced stability in high-renewable regions. W Energy and Simble plan initial deployments in NSW commercial and industrial sites while collaborating with universities and research institutions to refine the AI platform using local data, further improving its accuracy, adaptability, and security.

Zenith Yacht Charters Introduces Couple’s Dinner Cruise Package Alongside Regional Expansion Plans

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 August 2025 – Zenith Yacht Charters, a luxury yacht charter in Singapore, introduced its latest offering—Sunset Dinner Cruise (SDC) Package—in early 2025. This four-hour private charter couple’s cruise is designed for those looking to dine and unwind in a quieter setting outside the city. Zenith Yacht Charters Introduces Couple’s Dinner Cruise Package Alongside Regional Expansion Plans A More Intimate Way to Experience the Sea Sea Esta is a 50-foot Iliad catamaran and one of the newer yachts currently available for charter in Singapore. As a catamaran, it offers greater stability while cruising, which may appeal to guests seeking a smoother experience compared to smaller or single-hull vessels. The SDC Package is tailored for two guests, with the option to accommodate extra visitors at an additional charge. The couple’s cruise includes an onboard meal consisting of a main course, soup, beverages, and a simple table setup. Guests can choose to dine either in the indoor saloon or on the flybridge, both offering al fresco seating. Two fishing rods are also provided for guests who wish to enjoy a quiet angling activity during the trip—and any catch can be prepared by the crew, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. Addressing the Demand for Private, Unconventional Experiences According to Zenith Yacht Charters, the SDC Package was rolled out in response to growing interest among Singaporean couples for weekend experiences that differ from the standard restaurant or city-based outing. With a limited number of dinner-focused yacht packages available for two people, the company aims to fill this gap in the market. “Our goal has always been to match each customer with the yacht that best suits their needs,” said Mr Dave Cai, Director of Zenith Yacht Charters. “With the Sunset Dinner Cruise, we now offer an option for those looking for a cosy, private dinner onboard—rather than a group outing on the water.” According to the company, the SDC package has been well received by guests, including a customer who recently used the cruise as a setting for a successful marriage proposal. Part of a Regional Growth Strategy Alongside the launch of the new couple’s cruise, Zenith Yacht Charters is continuing to expand its presence across the region. Over the past year, the company has introduced charter and yacht management services in Phuket and Penang—two destinations that are known for their distinct marine landscapes, many of which are best accessed by private yacht. The company has also noted that more travellers are independently planning their own sea adventures, though some may be unfamiliar with the options available. To support this, Zenith Yacht Charters offers guidance on itinerary planning and vessel selection, helping guests make choices that suit their needs and travel preferences. “Expanding into other parts of Southeast Asia strengthens our presence in the region and allows us to offer a wider range of charter options,” said Mr Cai. “We want to make it easier for travellers from around the world to experience the culture and natural beauty of Southeast Asia—with the right yacht and itinerary, wherever they choose to explore.” Customers interested in booking the SDC package or exploring other regional offerings can reach Zenith Yacht Charters via WhatsApp or by submitting an enquiry form through the company’s website.

DHL Express and Cathay Group sign new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) deal to drive production and uptake in Asia

DHL Express purchases 2,400 metric tons of SAF from Cathay Group to be used on flights operated by Air Hong Kong, an express all-cargo carrier and wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay. The SAF will be used on Air Hong Kong flights departing from Seoul Incheon, Tokyo Narita and Singapore Changi airports. The new agreement underscores both parties’ commitment to lower-carbon air logistics and driving the production and use of SAF for the air cargo sector. HONG KONG SAR/SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2025 – DHL Express and the Cathay Group have entered into a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) partnership that reinforces their shared commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the air cargo industry. Under the agreement, Cathay will supply DHL Express with 2,400 metric tons of SAF for international flights departing from three airports in Asia namely Seoul Incheon International Airport, Tokyo Narita International Airport, and Singapore Changi Airport. These flights are operated by Air Hong Kong, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Cathay Group, which principally operates express cargo services for DHL Express. Continuing through 2025, the partnership is expected to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 7,190 metric tons —equivalent to the emissions of over 100 flights from Hong Kong to Singapore with an Airbus 330 freighter. (L to R): Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations and Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express; Tom Owen, Director Cargo, Cathay Group “Sustainable aviation fuel currently accounts for less than 1% of the total global jet fuel consumption, yet air transport is one of our biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Our decision to expand our SAF usage in Asia with Cathay is another important step that we have taken to drive momentum in SAF production and demand,” said Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations and Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express. “DHL Express is at the forefront of SAF adoption, and we look forward to seeing more partners and customers join us on this journey to build a more robust SAF ecosystem in Asia. Our continued investment in this area aligns with DHL Group’s Strategy 2030, which recognizes ‘green logistics of choice’ as one of the four bottom lines.” This SAF deal builds on the long-standing partnership between DHL Express and the Cathay Group, including through Air Hong Kong. For more than two decades, Air Hong Kong has played a vital role in DHL Express’s Asia Pacific network. This latest collaboration builds on that strong foundation and paves the way for deeper cooperation in advancing SAF. (L to R): Samuel Lee, General Manager for Central Asia Hub, DHL Express; Wai Kheong Loh, Vice President of Commercial – Hong Kong & Macau, DHL Express; Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations and Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express; Tom Owen, Director Cargo, Cathay Group; Clarence Tai, Chief Operating Officer, Air Hong Kong; Grace Cheung, General Manager, Sustainability, Cathay Group “This partnership marks the first SAF uplift on Air Hong Kong flights, a key milestone for Cathay as we continue to expand the SAF usage across our global network. SAF remains a core pillar of our strategy to address our carbon emissions, and collaboration is essential to scaling its use. We are excited to be working with like-minded partners like DHL Express to make SAF more accessible and scalable, particularly in Asia,” said Tom Owen, Director Cargo, Cathay. This collaboration makes DHL Express the latest strategic partner of Cathay’s Corporate SAF Program, an initiative launched in 2022 to support corporate partners in addressing greenhouse gas emissions from business travel and airfreight through the use of SAF. In 2024, the Corporate SAF Program enabled the use of over 6,000 metric tons of SAF, with a record 16 partners participating, including HSBC, AIA and Standard Chartered. Cathay has been steadily expanding its SAF efforts across the region. Earlier in 2025, the Group entered into an agreement with Sinopec to uplift SAF produced in the Chinese Mainland at Hong Kong International Airport, marking the first such export by Sinopec to Hong Kong. Additionally, Cathay has partnered with SK Energy to secure SAF supply in South Korea from 2025 to 2027. Apart from working closely with suppliers, the Group also co-initiated the Hong Kong Sustainable Aviation Fuel Coalition (HKSAFC) to collectively drive policy development and adoption of SAF locally. These initiatives reflect Cathay’s mission to expand the use of SAF within its network and foster a regional SAF ecosystem. Investments in SAF are therefore critical to ensuring its availability on a long-term and predictable basis. DHL Express has also been a frontrunner in scaling SAF uptake globally, securing long-term SAF agreements with multiple partners, including Neste, bp, and World Energy. Earlier this year, DHL Express also partnered with Cosmo Oil Marketing to use SAF produced in Japan for flights departing the country. Most recently, DHL Express completed an agreement with Neste that comprises 7,400 metric tons of SAF for international flights departing from Singapore Changi Airport, further demonstrating the company’s proactive approach to driving SAF demand and supply across the region. These efforts will also enhance DHL’s understanding of how to transport these alternative fuels, as it is a segment under its Strategy 2030’s key growth sector, “New Energy.” DHL Group is developing end-to-end logistics solutions for eight segments: wind, solar, electric vehicle (EV) and batteries, battery and energy storage systems, EV charging, grid, alternative fuel and hydrogen.

EdgeProp’s Roundtable Round Two: From Listings to Legacy

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2025 – Top performers in the real estate industry from Singapore and Malaysia gathered once again for the annual Realtors Round Table on Aug 12 at Pan Pacific Singapore. This exclusive evening honoured individuals who demonstrated exemplary performance, unwavering consistency, and the embodiment of high ethical standards within the real estate profession. The evening was a night of celebration and commendation, from valuable networking opportunities to comedic entertainment. Winners at the Realtors’ Roundtable 2025 The introduction of the trophy this year was no mere formality. It symbolises the effort of each individual who worked tirelessly with dedication and drive to uphold their integrity in the real estate industry. It is a reminder of the role each realtor plays in shaping the community through their success. While personal production was a key measurement of a realtor’s achievement in last year’s awards, overriding commission has been added as another indicator of success in this year’s Realtors’ Roundtable. Overriding commission quantifies the effort a realtor has put into building their team, an essential measure in maintaining the competency of the real estate industry in Singapore. Eligibility for the club is determined based on the performance metrics calculated in the local currency of the individual’s primary market for 2024. Method of production Member Rising Star Member Millionaire Member Received commission* $200,000 – $499,999 $500,000 – $999,999 ≥ $1,000,000 *Based on production and overriding commissions between Jan 1, 2024, and Dec 31, 2024, expressed in local currency. Production is defined as commission income received. Production excludes basic income, team overriding commissions, and deductibles (agency cuts & taxes). “Member numbers are up 34% compared to last year. That’s not just a bigger number; it’s a sign that more of you are participating, more of you are raising your game, and more of you see the importance of celebrating the hard work you put in.” Bernard Tong, CEO of EdgeProp Singapore, says. During the application process, realtors submit their commission and overriding amount received for assessment, and the data is verified with either their respective registered agencies or their official income statements. The results go through a second verification round with our Official Knowledge Partner, KPMG Singapore. “Being a realtor in Singapore is not easy, to be honest. Every weekend, you spend tons of money on flyers, stand under the hot sun to hand them out and then compete with thousands of other agents to fight to close deals at a showflat through a ballot system, essentially a lottery. And then, just when you think you’ve got a deal, cooling measures kick in, interest rates change, or the seller suddenly decides to ‘wait for a better offer’,” says Tong. “Yet, here you are — still closing, still growing, still finding a way. That’s what makes this industry special. It’s full of people who don’t just wait for the perfect market; you create opportunities in whatever market you’re given, and this is particularly true for this group here today. And that’s something to be proud of,” Tong adds. Of the 266 members who qualified this year, 51 repeated their achievement from last year. This is a testament to their sustained excellence and commitment to their craft. Achieving eligibility once is challenging; doing so for consecutive years is truly commendable. Members who qualify for three consecutive years earn Milestone status, while those who reach five consecutive years achieve the prestigious Landmark status.

Agridence Transitions to Founder-Led Governance, Secures Global Investment to Accelerate Multi-Commodity Compliance Platform

Additional funding allows Agridence to better deliver its traceability modules and ESG solutions across agri-commodity sectors globally. SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2025 – Agridence Pte. Ltd. (“Agridence”), a Singapore-based technology leader in digital agri-commodity supply chains, today announced a funding round led by Cercano Management and supported by returning strategic investors EXEO Innovation Fund and Provident. This will empower Agridence to rapidly scale its multi-commodity compliance platform to help its customers by tackling industry-wide challenges such as supply chain opacity, sustainability risks, and fragmented smallholder networks. CEO Gerald Tan, who led Agridence’s development since its inception in 2018, has invested additional capital to solidify his position as founder and the single largest individual shareholder of the company. This transition from a corporate venture-built startup to a founder owned and led enterprise underscores Tan’s commitment to delivering value to Agridence’s customers. “This funding marks a pivotal new chapter for Agridence. We are immensely grateful for the foundational support from our early corporate shareholders; their backing was instrumental during our startup phase and crucial in building the robust platform we have today. Now, as we mature, embracing a founder-led model is key to unlocking greater agility and neutrality. That’s why this shift isn’t just about capital; it’s fundamentally about ownership alignment and direct accountability,” said Gerald Tan, CEO and Founder of Agridence. “The modular traceability infrastructure we built for natural rubber is now powering compliance for palm oil, cocoa, and beyond, proving these challenges are universal across agri-commodities, and we are now better positioned than ever to solve them.” Why This Matters: Neutrality Meets Regulatory Urgency The shift to an independent, founder-led model provides better alignment and allows Agridence to address a critical industry need for a truly neutral technology platform that serves all stakeholders without corporate bias. “Southeast Asia is a key source and integral region in the global agri-commodities supply chain. A platform like Agridence that applies technology while working with local stakeholders for a more transparent, sustainable, and responsible sourcing is imperative for the industry. With this additional capital and new model, we see immense potential in Agridence, especially so being independently led by a local founder who has an operating track record within the rubber sector and has a team with deep sector know-how and local knowledge,” said Yu Minjie, Managing Director at Cercano Management. From Niche to Multi-Commodity Expansion Agridence has evolved from its roots in digitizing physical natural rubber trades to delivering a comprehensive, multi-commodity platform for global MNCs and industry associations. Recent milestones include: Natural Rubber: The Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR), whose members represent about 50% of the global market, uses Agridence’s reporting platform for annual sustainability data submissions. Palm Oil: Agridence powers the RSPO Certification, Trade and Traceability System (prisma), supporting RSPO Certified Palm Oil trades and Sustainable Palm Oil Credits. This initiative went live in February 2025, with nearly 20,000 users expected on the system. Coconut: As the technology partner for the Sustainable Coconut Partnership’s SCP Links platform, Agridence is simplifying sustainability reporting, digitizing audits, and increasing transparency. Cocoa: The company is driving smallholder inclusion through mapping programs across Africa. Interest is also growing in coffee, cashew, sugarcane, and other sectors. The new funding will accelerate Agridence’s go-to-market strategy, supporting entry into new commodity verticals and geographic markets through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. “Our biggest differentiator is our team’s deep and diverse agri-commodity background,” Gerald Tan added. “Trust is everything in this business. By leveraging our relationships, domain expertise, and technology innovations, we deliver proven regulatory and risk frameworks that solve our customers’ real pain points. We know the challenges because we’ve lived them and our partners trust us to solve them.” “Agridence has proven its capability to scale across multiple commodities and has earned the trust of global corporates, MNCs and industry associations. With momentum building in new commodities and geographies, the company is poised for exciting growth. We are proud to back the Agridence team as they enter this next chapter and deliver measurable impact across global supply chains,” said Lim Swee Yong, CEO of EXEO Innovation Fund Management.

Trend Micro Warns of Thousands of Exposed AI Servers

Latest research reveals mounting infrastructure-level risks from diverse components HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 August 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today urged AI engineers and IT leaders to heed best practices in developing and deploying secure systems, or risk exposure to data theft, poisoning, ransom, and other attacks. To learn more about how network defenders and adversaries are using AI, read Trend Micro State of AI Security Report, 1H 2025: https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/us/security/news/threat-landscape/trend-micro-state-of-ai-security-report-1h-2025 Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “AI may represent the opportunity of the century for global businesses. But those rushing in too fast without taking adequate security precautions may end up causing more harm than good. As our report reveals, too much AI infrastructure is already being built from unsecured and/or unpatched components, creating an open door for threat actors.” Trend’s report highlights several AI-related security challenges: 1) Vulnerabilities/exploits in critical components Organizations wishing to develop, deploy and use AI applications must leverage multiple specialized software components and frameworks, which may contain vulnerabilities one may find in regular software. The report reveals zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits in core components including ChromaDB, Redis, NVIDIA Triton, and NVIDIA Container Toolkit. 2) Accidental exposure to the internet Vulnerabilities are often the result of rushed development and deployment timelines, as are instances when AI systems are accidentally exposed to the internet, where they can be probed by adversaries. As detailed in the report, Trend has found 200+ ChromaDB servers, 2,000 Redis servers, and 10,000+ Ollama servers exposed to the internet with no authentication. 3) Vulnerabilities in open-source components Many AI frameworks and platforms use open-source software libraries to provide common functionality. However, open-source components often contain vulnerabilities that end up creeping into production systems, where they are hard to detect. At the recent Pwn2Own Berlin, which featured a new AI category, researchers uncovered an exploit for the Redis vector database, which stemmed from an outdated Lua component. 4) Container-based weaknesses A great deal of AI infrastructure runs on containers, meaning it is exposed to the same security vulnerabilities and threats that impact cloud and container environments. As outlined in the report, Pwn2Own researchers were able to uncover an exploit for the NVIDIA Container Toolkit. Organizations should sanitize inputs and monitor runtime behavior to mitigate such risks. Stuart MacLellan, CTO, NHS SLAM: “There are still lots of questions around AI models and how they could and should be used. We now get much more information now than we ever did about the visibility of devices and what applications are being used. It’s interesting to collate that data and get dynamic, risk-based alerts on people and what they’re doing depending on policies and processes. That’s going to really empower the decisions that are made organizationally around certain products.” Both the developer community and its customers must better balance security with time to market in order to mitigate the risks outlined above. Concrete steps could include: Improved patch management and vulnerability scans Maintaining an inventory of all software components, including third-party libraries and subsystems Container management security best practices, including using minimal base images and runtime security tools Configuration checks to ensure AI infrastructure components, like servers aren’t exposed to the internet Hashtag: #TrendMicro https://www.trendmicro.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/trend-micro-hong-kong-96353768/https://twitter.com/trendmicroameahttps://www.facebook.com/tmhk1989/ The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
