Flu Wave Hits Southeast Asia, Highlighting Gaps in Protection for the Elderly
HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 November 2025 - Many countries in Asia are reporting a sharp rise in flu cases. The intensified rainy season is fueling transmission and creating ideal conditions for rapid spread. In a single week, Thailand recorded more than 30,000 new cases.1 Meanwhile, Japan declared a nationwide flu epidemic on 3 October after confirming more than 6,000 patients that week.2 The Philippines has also surpassed epidemic thresholds, with a 10% increase in private hospital admissions.3 In response, all public schools in Metro Manila suspended face-to-face classes on 13-14 October.4 Similar upward trends have also appeared in Taiwan and Singapore, reflecting a broader regional surge.5,6 Health experts warn that older adults are most at risk of severe flu complications including pneumonia and heart attacks, hospitalization, and even death. This concern is growing as Southeast Asia's population ages rapidly.

Recognizing this gap, Sanofi, in collaboration with the Vietnam National Institute for Control of Vaccines and Biologicals (NICVB) and the Malaysian Society of Infection Control and Infectious Diseases (MyICID), organized a regional webinar titled "Shielding Golden Years: The Power of Flu Vaccines for Older Adults." The event gathered leading experts and engaged nearly 700 healthcare professionals across Southeast Asia. Dr. Steven C.L.

A Well-Oiled Machinery & Equipment Sector: The Silent Strength Powering Malaysia’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Excellence
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 3 November 2025 - In the global semiconductor race, the loudest voices don't always belong to those doing the heaviest lifting. While headlines trumpet chip breakthroughs and billion-dollar fabs, Malaysia has been quietly perfecting something far more fundamental: the machinery and equipment that makes it all possible. This is not the story of flashy innovation or overnight success. It's the story of four decades spent mastering the unglamorous but indispensable, precision robots that place components with microscopic accuracy, testing equipment that validates every nanometer, and clean room systems that maintain environments more sterile than operating theatres. Behind every chip that rolls off a Malaysian assembly line lies this web of engineering excellence, a competitive advantage so deeply embedded that even global giants struggle to replicate it. Malaysia ranks as the sixth largest semiconductor exporter globally and commands 13 per cent of the world's Assembly, Testing and Packaging Operations. As Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), puts it, "When global semiconductor companies look at Malaysia, they see our competitive costs or our location, But, what really differentiates us is our comprehensive Machinery and Equipment (M&E ecosystem) — the ability to not just build but continuously innovate and maintain the incredibly sophisticated equipment that semiconductor operation depends on. The integrated Machinery and Equipment (M&E) ecosystem has been fundamentally shaped by key Foreign Investments (FI) that serve as catalysts for local capacity building. Global leaders specialising in front-end equipment, such as LAM Research and Applied Materials, have established major manufacturing and support operations in Malaysia, creating extensive sourcing opportunities for local players. At the same time, back-end equipment innovator ......read more

New Rotary Latch Brings Master Key Convenience To Heavy Machinery
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 3 November 2025 – If something in a building needs to be fixed, maintenance usually has a master key to access it. That kind of convenience keeps access simple, and keeps critical systems running when they're needed most. R4-15 Rotary Latch So why not bring that convenience to heavy machinery? With enough doors and panels to fill a small building, operators would surely benefit from having one key that opens all of them. However, reality gets complicated when each panel is a different size with a different latch specialized to secure it. These latches often have limited head styles for tool operation, so you get one vehicle with a full key ring of tools needed to access it. The last thing an operator needs in the field is more stuff to carry. Rather than try to make every manufacturer of every latch conform to one tool, Southco is meeting them where they are with the R4-15 Rotary Latch. Its versatile design allows it to secure many different types of panels across heavy machinery, and Southco offers a variety of tool-actuated options to match other latches on the vehicle. This finally lets operators open any panel they need with a single key. Southco also offers this key in a modern ergonomic design that feels natural in the hand, so operators can be a bit more comfortable on the job. If manufacturers opt for hand-operated functionality, the R4-15 can also permanently attach its key, creating an ergonomic experience with every turn. No matter the use case, the R4-15 can adapt to its environment to bring easy access, rugged durability, and reliable security to a wide variety of vehicle panels. The R4-15 Rot ......read more

Headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, the new office will provide comprehensive trade credit solutions to local exporters, catering to their increasing demand resulting from the country's outperforming exports coupled with steady economic growth projected in coming years.

Seaweed startup Uluu attracts $13.6M to scale world-first plastic alternative
PERTH, AUSTRALIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 October 2025 – Uluu has raised SGD$13.6 million in Series A funding to build a demonstration plant and scale its technology, transforming seaweed into a natural alternative to plastic for industrial production. The round was led by German growth investor Burda Principal Investments with support from Main Sequence, Novel Investments (the family office of one of the world's largest textile groups), Startmate, and a consortium of leading impact and family investors including Fairground and Trinity Ventures. Uluu's next-generation materials perform like conventional plastics and can be processed using existing plastic manufacturing equipment. Unlike plastic made from fossil fuels, they are reusable, recyclable, home compostable and marine biodegradable—breaking down naturally without releasing microplastics. They're strong, lightweight, waterproof and non-toxic, while being climate positive at scale. At commercial scale, Uluu's production process has scope to sequester and avoid up to ~5kg CO2 equivalent for every 1kg of material produced, compared with ~3kg emitted by plastic today. The technology has the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions by more than 2 gigatonnes per year. With the Series A raise, Uluu will scale from its 100kg/year pilot facility to a 10-tonne/year demonstration plant in Western Australia, enabling the company to deliver commercial volumes to customers. Uluu is already collaborating with a range of global partners in cosmetics, fashion and the automotive industry, including public campaigns with Quiksilver, Papinelle and Audi. "After four years' work developing this technology, including two years' running our pilot plant, we're excited to take this next step and start delivering meaningful volumes of our materials to customers," said Uluu co-founder and co-CEO Michael Kingsbury. "The demonstration plant is a critical step in showing Uluu can scale to truly compete with and repla ......read more

Indoor Air Pollution Cannot Be Ignored Clean Air Network Supports Businesses in Meeting the Challenge
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 October 2025 - The World Health Organization reports that over 3 million people worldwide die each year from indoor air pollution. In Hong Kong, people spend nearly 90% of their time indoors.[1] For office workers who often have long working hours, the air quality in workplaces directly affects their health, work efficiency, and, ultimately, corporate productivity. Environmental group Clean Air Network is currently driving various programs to raise public awareness about the threats of indoor air pollution. The organization also collaborates with businesses to create safe and healthy working environments. Many people believe that staying indoors protects them from outdoor vehicle emissions and poor air quality. However, a variety of harmful indoor air pollutants may also be present, such as suspended particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), biological contaminants like mold and dust mites, among others. Prolonged exposure may lead to cancer, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, asthma, skin allergies, and more. The causes of indoor air pollution are complex and can be influenced by factors such as building use, chemical substances in the environment, ventilation, temperature, and humidity. Patrick Fung, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Air Network, said, "There are already feasible solutions in the market to help businesses manage indoor air quality. Although the Hong Kong Stock Exchange does not currently require companies to disclose indoor air quality information in ESG reports, we firmly believe that the health and wellbeing of employees, consumers, and tenants are central to the core values of most companies. Therefore, we encourage more businesses to actively manage indoor air quality as a demonstration of their commitment." Common indoor air pollution threats faced by office workers include VOCs released from printing equipment[2] and formaldehyde emitted from office renovation materials and fur ......read more

A Signal Through the Mountains: Zhejiang Mobile’s 5G Brings Care to Rural China
LISHUI, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 October 2025 – At the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva earlier this year, a rural healthcare project from eastern China drew global attention. The mountain county of Jingning She Autonomous County in Zhejiang's Lishui City introduced its "Smart Mobile Hospital + AI" model — an innovation that shows how digital transformation can bring quality medical services to remote regions. Delegates said the project offers a glimpse into how technology can bridge healthcare gaps for mountain communities, where access to doctors has long been limited by geography. For 81-year-old Liu Yuyu, those gaps used to mean several hours on steep mountain roads just to see a specialist in Hangzhou, the provincial capital. Now she simply visits her township clinic and meets doctors through a high-definition screen. Her entire medical history, stored in Zhejiang's cloud-based health system, allows specialists hundreds of kilometers away to review her data and adjust treatment in real time. Such changes are reshaping healthcare in Jingning She Autonomous County in Lishui City, Liu's mountainous hometown in eastern Zhejiang. Powered by Zhejiang Mobile's 5G network, artificial intelligence and big-data tools, the "Smart Mobile Hospital + AI" program is bringing advanced care to even the most remote villages. In Jingning, known as a land of "nine parts mountain, half part water and half part field," visiting a doctor has long been a challenge. Some residents still spend an hour to reach a township clinic and more than two hours to the county hospital. With the new system, consultations and diagnostics once requiring a trip to the city can now happen almost instantly. To overcome the region's rugged geography, Zhejiang Mobile has transformed its service vehicles int ......read more
