SINGAPORE – November 28, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Academic Labs (AAX), the trailblazing EduFi ecosystem built on the Solana blockchain, proudly announces its sponsorship of the 2024 World Chess Championship, taking place in Singapore from November 25 to December 13. As one of the main sponsors alongside Google, AAX celebrates this landmark event that sees global tech giants supporting the prestigious chess tournament for the first time in its history. The 2024 World Chess Championship: Ding Liren vs. Gukesh Dommaraju This year’s championship showcases a gripping battle between the reigning Chinese world champion Ding Liren and the 18-year-old Indian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju. Ding, hailing from Wenzhou, China, has dominated the Chinese chess scene from 2009 to 2016 and claimed the world champion title in 2023 by defeating Ian Nepomniachtchi. Gukesh, on the other hand, is the youngest-ever Candidates Tournament winner and aims to make history as the youngest classical world champion, potentially surpassing the legendary Garry Kasparov’s record. The championship, held in Singapore, is expected to draw an audience of 200 million viewers across more than 80 countries, with an estimated 40 million viewing hours. The event’s unprecedented global interest underscores chess’s enduring appeal and ongoing resurgence, unparalleled since the iconic 1972 World Championship. “As a project founded by born and bred Singaporeans, we are immensely proud to sponsor this landmark event taking place in our city,” said Kingston Kwek, Chief Visionary Officer of AAX. “Having a strong local sponsor creates an impactful ‘wow’ factor right here at home.

The Company reported a revenue of RM45.1 million, marking a 14.6% year-on-year increase compared to RM39.4 million in Q1 FY2024. The growth in revenue is largely due to the increased recognition of construction works done from ongoing projects.Ku Chong Hong, Managing Director of SCIBAs for Q1FY2025, SCIB's Manufacturing division continues to play a pivotal role in the Company’s performance, contributing RM32.5 million to the total revenue, a 9.80% increase from RM29.6 million in Q1 FY2024. This growth was primarily driven by increased sales of foundation piles and Industrialised Building System (“IBS”) products, especially for major projects such as the Kuching Urban Transportation System (“KUTS”), the Sarawak Second Trunk Road (“STR”) and school projects in Sarawak.Profit Before Tax (“PBT”) for the manufacturing segment stood at RM3.8 million. Meanwhile, the Construction/Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (“EPCC”) division reported revenue of RM12.6 million, an increase from RM9.8 million in the same quarter last year. However, the segment recorded a Loss Before Tax (“LBT”) of RM2.0 million due to unanticipated unrealised foreign exchange loss recognised. The division remains focused on delivering ongoing projects while exploring new opportunities for expansion.During the quarter, SCIB maintained its commitment to strengthening its financial foundation and broadening its project portfolio. The Company has secured a contract worth RM162.0 million for development and infrastructure works under the Program Perumahan Penjawat Awam (“PPAM”) in Mualim, Perak. Additionally, SCIB had recently acquired a 2.49-hectares land parcel at Bintulu Sibiu Road, Bintulu, for RM9.2 million, followed by another parcel of 7.3-hectares land in Jalan Bintulu-Sibu as part of its plan to collaborate with developers for residential housing projects that utilise SCIB’s high-quality products and industry expertise, while expanding SCIB’s products and services offering to serve the fundamental needs of the Sarawak market.Mr. Ku Chong Hong, Managing Director of SCIB, commented, “The results of Q1 FY2025 reflect the challenges of a dynamic economic environment. However, we remain steadfast in our commitment to strengthening the financial foundation of the Company. Besides targeting to secure projects consistently, the recent securing of financial facilities from SME Bank and the proposed private placement of 10.0% of SCIB’s total issued shares underscore our focus on enhancing our cash position and ensuring financial stability to support our operational and strategic initiatives."Looking ahead, SCIB remains optimistic about Malaysia’s construction sector, bolstered by the record allocation in Budget 2025 of RM421 billion, including RM86 billion for development expenditure. The RM5.9 billion allocated for Sarawak, aimed at upgrading public infrastructure such as schools, healthcare centres, and airports, as well as large-scale projects like the Sabah-Sarawak Link Road (“SSLR”) and the North Coastal Highway, aligns seamlessly with SCIB’s expertise and strategic direction.

Survey: New Opportunities in Cross-border E-commerce
HONG KONG, Nov 27, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation (HKECIC) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released a research study today, titled "Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders". The study revealed that 90% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could drive significant sales growth in the business in the next two years. However, the market-related challenges continue to persist, including intense market competition, complex customs clearance procedures and the management of returns and refunds. In light of these challenges, experts recommend developing appropriate online marketing and sales strategies, enhancing risk management and adopting efficient logistics and delivery practices to better seize the opportunities presented by cross-border e-commerce.Mr Terence Chiu, Commissioner of HKECIC, said, “The joint research study of the HKECIC and the HKTDC helps the industry in gaining deeper understanding of the latest development in expanding cross-border e-commerce, as well as outlining the challenges faced by businesses and the support they needed. While cross-border e-commerce has seen a significant growth in recent years, the study highlighted that the market remains highly competitive, and the ecosystem and related infrastructure still require further improvement. In addition, many e-commerce businesses have limited assets and insufficient collateral to secure financing from traditional banks and financial institutions, reflecting the ongoing challenges in the e-commerce environment. This year, the HKECIC has collaborated with a fintech and a reinsurance company, and also a bank to develop bespoke trade credit insurance solutions, aiming to provide coverage for trade loans to Hong Kong e-commerce businesses. These initiatives encourage and support local enterprises in securing trade financing and expanding into cross-border e-commerce. The HKECIC will actively seek collaboration with more financial institutions, in line with the 2024 Policy Address, to better support Hong Kong businesses in securing e-commerce export financing. By leveraging its expertise in trade credit insurance and risk management, the HKECIC is dedicated to assisting Hong Kong businesses in maintaining their competitive edge, helping them explore new overseas markets, mitigate trade risks and reduce operating costs.”Dr Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said, “E-commerce has become a key driver of the global economy. The World Bank estimates that global B2C e-commerce sales will reach US$6 trillion by 2024, with Mainland China leading the way – over a quarter of retail consumer goods sales occur online. In collaboration with the HKECIC, the study aims to help Hong Kong businesses explore new markets and seize opportunities. The HKTDC will continue to support local companies in engaging with e-commerce and taking advantage of growth opportunities on the global stage.”From June to August 2024, the HKECIC and the HKTDC conducted phone and online interviews with 352 local trade and manufacturing companies to assess the development of Hong Kong companies’ cross-border e-commerce operations, while also detailing the challenges they face and identifying the support services they require.Driving significant sales growth in the next two yearsAs network technology has become more widespread, while electronic payment services are now ubiquitous and e-commerce platforms have come to offer an ever-expanding range of services, even new entrants and smaller businesses can easily develop cross-border e-commerce operations on a global basis. 90.0% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could raise their total sales revenue in the next two years.The surveyed companies in general indicated that cross-border e-commerce positively impacts their expansion plans whether via broader sales channels (69.0%), new market opportunities (50.3%), or enhanced brand awareness (48.9%).Reaching out to global markets: Focusing on the Mainland and ASEANHKTDC Principal Economist Wing Chu, who led the study, said, “The scope of cross-border e-commerce business for Hong Kong companies spans all parts of the world, covering markets, such as Mainland China (75.2%), ASEAN (53.0%), the US (42.2%), Japan (30.9%) and the EU (30.0%). Looking ahead, respondents generally agreed that, for the next two years, Mainland China (61.6%) and ASEAN (44.3%) offer the greatest growth potential. The surveyed companies generally hope to make use of risk management to meet market competitiveness and the challenges outlined, such as insurance for cargo transportation or payments (39.8%), e-commerce promotion (34.4%) and logistics services for both delivery and product returns (33.5%).”Coping with online and offline challengesCross-border e-commerce operators must confront a variety of practical issues relating to both online and offline procedures, including goods delivery, platform charges, exchange rates and refunds as well as market, regulation and financing issues.Of the companies surveyed, 38.4% said that customs clearance procedures in Mainland China and foreign markets are complex, with 31.3% indicating that product returns involve complicated procedures and / high costs, and 29.8% finding it difficult to manage practical issues, such as the international delivery of small orders.Regarding the issues of platform charges, exchange rates and refunds, the high commission rates charged by third-party e-commerce platforms and long payment periods were identified as challenges by 51.1% of respondents. Meanwhile, 46.6% said fluctuating exchange rates or high exchange costs were problems they faced during their cross-border e-commerce operations. 28.4% were concerned about the expansive costs about refund policy.In addition, companies must contend with a wide range of difficulties. Majority of the surveyed companies (84.9%) noted that developing cross-border e-commerce presented market-related challenges, such as keen market competition. Meanwhile, 54% indicated regulatory issues, and 41.2% encountered financial challenges.Leveraging Hong Kong's advantages to unlock global e-commerce opportunitiesIn addition to the questionnaire, HKTDC also interviewed a number of companies engaged in cross-border e-commerce or related businesses. According to expert’s opinion, though the mainland market is huge in scale, the competition is keen. Overseas opportunities abound, such as the advanced economies of Europe and America have mature online shopping markets and e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia.In addition, online sales strategies tailored to target markets are of prime importance, including the collaboration with KOL or influencers and using short-form videos to attract consumers.The study also highlighted Hong Kong's excellent logistics capabilities and extensive air cargo network as well as its well-developed financial markets and diverse financing services, which are well-suited to meeting the financial needs of e-commerce. Meanwhile, Hong Kong serves as an ideal gateway for foreign products entering Mainland China, with the Hong Kong brand enjoying a competitive edge in the region.Photo download: https://bit.ly/3Bb95BADr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (left) and Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (right)Dr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (second left); Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (second right); Wing Chu, Principal Economist, HKTDC (first left); and Cynthia Chin, General Manager, HKECIC (first right)References- HKTDC Research Portal https://research.hktdc.com/en- Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg1OTQ2Mzk3MwAbout HKECICThe HKECIC was established in 1966 under the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation Ordinance (Chapter 1115).

林峯飛鷹活絡油廣告成熱話 母企健倍苗苗深諳品牌營銷致勝之道
香港, 2024年11月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 最近,尖沙咀天星小輪附近一個大型戶外廣告引發網民熱議,廣告主角林峯「金雞獨立」並高舉雙手,儼如飛鷹展翅,神似大阪地標「固力果跑跑人」,極為吸睛。原來,此乃香港老字號品牌「飛鷹活絡油」之最新戶外廣告,連同最新電視廣告系列最近一同推出。林峯今年憑電影《九龍城寨之圍城》人氣急升,於廣告中扮演「飛鷹哥」為「飛鷹」品牌宣傳,扣題之餘毫不違和,輕鬆「入屋」。加上戶外廣告成功在網上瘋傳後,宣傳效率倍增。事實上,「飛鷹活絡油」母企,上市公司健倍苗苗(02161.HK),深諳品牌營銷致勝之道,多次推出創新的品牌推廣活動。公司願意投放資源將旗下老字號品牌年輕化,難怪上半年業績十分亮眼,其中營銷策略功不可沒。健倍苗苗剛於月中公佈二零二五財年中期業績,收益總額錄得約4.0億港元,較去年同期顯著增長22.1%;純利增長53.4% 至95.9百萬港元。優秀表現主要受惠於旗艦品牌的強勁銷售勢能,尤其是品牌藥分部的何濟公和品牌中藥分部的保濟丸。集團亦提及,亮眼成績反映其線下及線上渠道銷售及營銷策略行之有效,成功把握品牌消費保健產品於香港、澳門及大灣區市場的增長潛力。集團旗下擁有多個產品,如保濟丸、何濟公止痛退熱散、飛鷹活絡油及唐太宗活絡油等,均為具有一定知名度的「老品牌」。當中,兩大旗艦品牌保濟丸及何濟公於年前均以全新代言人,將品牌形象年輕化。何濟公以歌手張敬軒成為品牌的新代言人,並為旗下的王牌產品「何濟公止痛退熱散」推出全新形象的廣告。品牌中藥分部方面,保濟丸在銷售高峰期間策略性地播出由知名歌手王菀之擔任品牌大使的電視廣告,以加深消費者的印象。此外,保濟丸亦成為熱門TVB節目《中年好聲音3》的冠名贊助商,向廣大電視觀眾進一步宣傳品牌。品牌推廣策略取得佳績,顯示管理層擁有卓越的市場洞察力,並願意投入資源於品牌建設及市場推廣,與時俱進,激活品牌活力。「飛鷹」品牌宣傳剛推出便獲得如此高關注度,集團營銷功力再度彰顯。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
