SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 July 2025 – As Singapore celebrates its 60th birthday, ISS International School is reflecting on the nation’s journey through the lens of education. Founded by former Member of Parliament Mr Chan Chee Seng in 1981, ISS has grown alongside Singapore, evolving from a pioneering institution into a globally minded school community. In recognition of this shared milestone, the school has also introduced an SG60 Celebration package for families applying to its IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) in 2025. Supporting Singapore’s Growth Through Education In the early years of independence, the limited number of Singapore international schools was a barrier to attracting foreign investment and talent. Mr Chan, having just retired from politics, was driven by a desire to support the nation’s growth in a new capacity. With this vision in mind, he founded ISS International School in 1981 to serve the educational needs of a growing expatriate and internationally mobile population. He sought to create a truly global institution, one that was not country-centric, welcoming students from all corners of the world. His vision was to ensure that all students receive a world-class education and to make Singapore an even more attractive destination for global talent. Continuing a Legacy of Global Education Since its founding, ISS has remained committed to nurturing a globally oriented school community. The school offers a full K–12 education that includes all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes as well as the American-style ISS High School Diploma, providing a structured pathway for students across different stages of learning. ISS continues to operate as a family-owned, not-for-profit international school. Its community-centred approach—referred to within the school as the “Kampong Spirit”—emphasises collaboration and support among students, staff, and families. This approach continues to inform the school’s culture and daily practices. Commemorating SG60: Looking Ahead To mark Singapore’s 60th birthday and honour Mr Chan’s legacy, ISS International School is introducing a commemorative IB PYP school fee package. This initiative includes a limited-term school fee arrangement, applicable to families applying for the 2025/2026 academic year. Updates on the school fee package and other announcements are available on ISS International School’s official website and social media channels. Moving forward, ISS International School remains committed to its mission of “Educating to Make a Difference,” offering programmes that cultivate intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of purpose. As Singapore moves into its next chapter, ISS continues to foster globally minded learners who are deeply connected to their community and ready to shape a better future.

Continues to see strong growth in traditional powerhouse sectors such as automotive, technology and e-commerce Sees new opportunities in Malaysia for growth in life sciences and healthcare as well as new energy DHL is well-positioned to support Malaysia’s trade and logistics ambitions with expanded investments and capabilities KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 July 2025 – DHL, the world’s leading logistics provider, has reaffirmed its commitment to Malaysia through Strategy 2030, a five-year roadmap aimed at accelerating sustainable growth with an expanded focus on high-value sectors. The country is a vital link in DHL’s network, poised to capitalize on opportunities as a leading hub for trade and an emerging destination for supply chain diversification. (L to R): Mario Lorenz, Managing Director for DHL Supply Chain Malaysia; Christopher Lim, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei; Julian Neo, Managing Director of DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei; Saurabh Kumar, Managing Director of DHL eCommerce Malaysia Malaysia has long been strategically important for DHL and hosts four of DHL Group’s globally operating divisions, which together command a portfolio of solutions encompassing domestic delivery, e-commerce shipping and fulfilment, road, air, and sea freight, international express, and industrial supply chain management. These are underpinned by an IT data centre and regional shared services that drive backend functions for DHL’s cross-border presence. Since the company established its roots here in 1968, it has grown in tandem with a vibrant economy that is now the fifth-largest in Southeast Asia. Across the four divisions, DHL employs a workforce of over 4,500. Continued investments in infrastructure and capabilities reflect confidence in Malaysia as an attractive destination for facilitating global trade and logistics. Recognizing Malaysia’s competitive advantages and business potential, DHL plans to further enhance its product offerings and operational capabilities in the local market, focusing on several key drivers. Geographic Tailwinds Emerging geographical and economic developments continue to have profound effects on companies’ supply chain diversification strategy, omnishoring as well as domestic and foreign direct investment. To help businesses capitalize on these developments, DHL will build on its strong global footprint and local expertise. DHL has identified Malaysia as one of the 20 high-growth markets that could stand to benefit the most from these changes. This is solidified by Malaysia’s record of a historic high of RM378.5 billion in approved investments in 2024. FDI accounted for 45 percent of the figure, led by the United States, Germany, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In fact, DHL has long contributed to such foreign inflows through its partnership with the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). In May, both parties signed a renewed memorandum of understanding, building on joint efforts since 2023 that have yielded significant investment outcomes in key priority sectors across eight states: Kedah, Penang, Perak, Johor, Melaka, Sabah, Sarawak, and Selangor. In recent years, DHL has consistently invested ahead of the curve to support the growing needs of businesses expanding their operations in Malaysia. These investments include: A new Kuala Lumpur Gateway in 2024, the largest local DHL Express investment to date at EUR60 million (MYR300 million) EUR131 million (MYR655 million) investment by DHL Supply Chain allocated until 2028 towards expanding warehousing capacity, staff, and sustainability activities. These include the new Penang Logistics Hub 5 and South Region Hub opened earlier this year, with one more planned for Penang and another in the Central region Julian Neo, Managing Director of DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei, said: “Trade has remained resilient across the region, boosted by shifting attention to these parts of the world for manufacturing and sourcing operations. Thanks to our forward-looking approach, we are in a strong position to respond with the timely and strategic improvements we made. With a presence that spans more than 220 countries and territories, we retain a crucial role in connecting businesses seamlessly to international value chains.” Life sciences and healthcare (LSHC) The biopharma, cell and gene, and clinical trials market is expected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 10 percent until 2030. DHL is well-positioned to address these shifts, with its track record of over 30 years in specialized pharma logistics. In 2025, the company acquired specialty courier CRYOPDP and announced an investment of EUR 500 million (approximately MYR 2.4 billion) to enhance its LSH capacity in the Asia Pacific region. Currently, DHL has 300,000 square metres of fully compliant warehousing space in 15 countries across the region. Christopher Lim, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei said: “Today, 10 of the world’s top medical device companies have established operations here, elevating Malaysia into the league of global medical device hubs. These MNCs are driving innovation, diversifying the nation’s export portfolio and shifting the focus beyond glove production to high-value advanced devices manufacturing.
