‘Sky Roads’ trace Xizang’s journey from isolation to modernity

Source: Media Outreach

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 August 2025 – This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Xizang Autonomous Region.

With an average elevation of over 4,000 meters, this region was once described as “the limit of human survival.”

Yet on the “roof of the world,” China carved three “Sky Roads” that reshaped the destiny of this land.

In ancient times, Xizang had only mule and yak trails, with no highways at all. From 1950 to 1954, the Sichuan-Xizang Highway and the Qinghai-Xizang Highway were built, ending Xizang’s millennia-long isolation.

Stretching over 4,300 kilometers in total, the two “Sky Roads” were hailed as “golden bridges that bring happiness.”

With the construction of the Qinghai-Xizang, Sichuan-Xizang, and Ngari power transmission lines, Xizang made a historic shift in electricity supply—from rationing to surplus.

It not only transmits electricity outward, but also provides clean energy through the West-to-East Power Transmission program.

Today, trunk railways crisscross Xizang, with bullet trains in operation. Highways link the region to the rest of the nation and extend all the way to its villages. All towns across Xizang now enjoy full 5G coverage. With its civil aviation system seamlessly integrated, an “Air Silk Road” has also taken shape.

From highways to power lines, from networks to new pathways, a modernization roadmap for “the roof of the world” is unfolding.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 August 2025 – YTL Cement, in partnership with The Edge, successfully concluded its third annual sustainable construction symposium recently, bringing together over 200 industry leaders and players to explore the future of construction under the theme “Building Trends Redefined: The Next Level” which explored urban liveability, sustainable construction ambitions, and smart green technologies.

(From left) Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) design principal Nicolas Medrano, Construction Research Institute of Malaysia senior manager of consultancy and inspection Mohd Khairolden Ghani, SOM senior associate principal Ian Ralph, YTL Cement Group general manager Lim Tze Liang, The Edge Media Group chief commercial officer Sharon Teh, Master Builders Association Malaysia president Oliver Wee, YTL Cement CEO Datuk Yeoh Soo Keng, Construction Industry Development Board CEO Zainora Zainal, Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia president Datuk Ho Hon Sang, YTL Cement group managing director Datuk Seri Michael Yeoh, YTL Cement executive director Rachel Yeoh, The Edge Media Group publisher and group CEO Datuk Ho Kay Tat, YTL Cement executive director Michelle Yeoh, YTL Cement director Joshua Yeoh, Malaysian Institute of Architects deputy president Dexter Koh, Eastern Pretech Solutions CEO Lee Mun Sam, Sika Malaysia general manager Francisco Retondo, The Edge Malaysia editor-in-chief Kathy Fong, City & Country senior editor E Jacqui Chan and The Edge Media Group editor emeritus Au Foong Yee

It opened with an address by Rachel Yeoh, Executive Director of YTL Cement who set the stage with a compelling vision for the future of construction, emphasising YTL Cement’s dedication to sustainability and innovation through the launch of Malaysia’s first repurposed concrete aggregate facility (RCA) in collaboration with the Construction Research Institute of Malaysia (CREAM), and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), which can potentially replace up to 30% of natural aggregates in concrete.

She also highlighted how YTL Cement is committed to leveraging digital technologies to enhance its operational efficiencies and strengthening its industry partnerships with CREAM, the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM) and the Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM), among others, to drive more sustainable practices within the industry.

The event also featured 10 local and international speakers from the public and private sectors, across four deep dive sessions and two panel discussions. Topics covered included how cities can thrive with sustainable urban intelligence by Ian Ralph from global architecture and engineering firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM); how to make sustainable construction a reality in Malaysia by Puan Zainora Zainal, the CEO of CIDB; how to design and create buildings that care for people, planet and performance by Nicolas Medrano, a design principal from SOM; and an overview on SustainBuild Mark, Malaysia’s first standardised industry certification for sustainable building materials by Ir. Ts. Dr Hj Mohd Khairolden Ghani, a representative of CREAM.

A panel discussion on smart-driven green construction was also held between YTL Cement’s technical general manager Lim Tze Liang, Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (REHDA)’s president, Datuk Ho Hon Sang, and Master Builders Association of Malaysia (MBAM)’s president Oliver Wee. During the session, Lim detailed YTL Cement’s comprehensive sustainability efforts, such as the introduction of its ECO product range that are produced in its ISO-certified facilities, YTL Cement’s AI-driven kiln optimisation and groundbreaking R&D collaborations with CREAM and Malaysian universities, including the development of self-healing concrete with an 83% efficacy rate.

Datuk Ho from REHDA emphasised the need for holistic green strategies for the benefit of the environment, industry, and nation while Oliver Wee of MBAM, discussed the challenges of legacy infrastructure and high initial investment costs for green transformation, calling for greater awareness and education for industry players.

The symposium concluded with a fireside chat on rethinking building solutions and mindsets, between Damian Lusty the Head of Sustainability & Digitalisation at specialty chemicals company Sika, Ar. Dexter Koh the deputy president of PAM, and Lee Mun Sam, CEO of Eastern Pretech Solutions Sdn Bhd.

Lee Mun Sam of Eastern Pretech shared his firm’s two-decade experience in prefabrication for Industrialised Building Systems (IBS), noting growing industry receptiveness towards sustainable materials despite cost concerns. He also highlighted recent industry innovations like hollow concrete and recycled by-products, which maintain quality while reducing carbon footprints.

Beyond that, the panel discussed Malaysia’s middling progress in sustainability, and the need for collective action to get ahead. Dexter Koh highlighted the disconnect between various policies and how industry players need to be more collaborative moving forward, while Damian Lusty shared how government incentives like carbon taxes and collaborative design approaches are essential in balancing costs and sustainability. The panellists concluded that long-term value, not upfront expenses, must drive industry transformation.

The Symposium served as a critical platform for dialogue and collaboration, underscoring a unified industry commitment to redefining Malaysia’s built environment. By bridging insights from developers, architects, engineers, and material suppliers, the event charted a clear path forward, balancing innovation, practicality and environmental stewardship with economic growth.

Gaza – Children starved in plain sight as famine confirmed in Gaza – Save the Children

0

Source: Save the Children

At least 132,000 children aged under five in Gaza are at risk of death from acute malnutrition as new data confirms famine in Gaza Governorate and warns this is likely to spread in the coming weeks, Save the Children said.
This is the first time a famine has officially been confirmed in the Middle East region.
According to the latest report, acute malnutrition is projected to worsen rapidly, with the number of children under five in Gaza at risk of death between now and June 2026 having doubled since May.
As Israel’s military offensive in northern Gaza intensifies, hundreds of thousands of people will be forcibly displaced south, including to Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis, where famine is expected to be classified by the end of September.
Save the Children New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Heather Campbell said:
“The world has been watching as children have suffered the unthinkable for nearly two years in Gaza, and now, we have confirmation that hundreds of thousands are being slowly starved to death. None of us should accept this.
“All of Gaza is being systematically starved by design, and children are paying the highest price. The world has failed to act as their tiny, emaciated bodies have been overcome by hunger and disease and shut down. This engineered famine is the ultimate and inevitable result of the Government of Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon of war. The sustained siege on food, medicine and fuel was bound to lead to this preventable catastrophe. There is no world leader who did not know this was coming, who hasn’t been warned again and again.
“A trickle of aid in recent days is a drop in the ocean only and serves to show the Government of Israel could end the food shortages whenever they choose and stop famine from spreading to other parts of Gaza. Our teams can save more lives and bring more children back from the precipice as soon as aid flows are restored.
“But many effects of famine cannot be reversed, especially for children. The death and loss, the physical and mental harm, will last lifetimes and even generations. Our health and nutrition teams are overloaded amid the tide of hunger and disease even while treating hundreds of malnourished children each month. In the first two weeks of August, well over half of pregnant women and new mothers screened at our clinics were malnourished – nearly seven times higher than before the siege began in March. Malnourished mothers are more likely to give birth to smaller babies, perpetuating a cycle of malnutrition that can affect future generations. Palestinian children are their society’s future – and that future, and theirs, has been irrevocably undermined.
“Famine means there are no more breaking points and no more alarm bells. The Government of Israel must immediately end the use of starvation as a weapon of war and lift the siege of the Gaza Strip, allowing aid including food and nutrition supplies into Gaza at the scale required, and restore electricity, fuel and water.
“And the international community must finally take every possible step to stop the Government of Israel from intentionally starving children and families in Gaza.”
  • In the first two weeks of August, 61% of pregnant women and new mothers screened at Save the Children’s clinics have been found to be malnourished, nearly seven times higher than the rate in the first two weeks of March (9%), before aid and goods were almost completely cut off.
  • Doctors in Save the Children health clinics are seeing around 100 patients a day, double the number of their recommended caseload.
  • Save the Children has been unable to get any of its own aid into Gaza since 2 March and has 45 trucks-worth of aid including medicines, shelter items and hygiene kits waiting in warehouses.
  • Save the Children is responding to the famine crisis in Gaza in our two primary healthcare clinics in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah by providing nutrition screening and treatment to children under 5, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Our treatment package includes providing medical interventions, supplements and high calorie biscuits and pastes to malnourished children and mothers. Since the start of the war, our two clinics have helped over 113,000 people, including over 42,000 children.
  • According to the IPC, through June 2026, at least 132,000 children under the age of five are at risk of death from acute malnutrition. This number has doubled compared to the IPC estimates reported in May 2025.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire- 22 August 2025 – YesAsia Holdings Limited (“YesAsia Holdings”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (02209.HK), a leading e-commerce platform operator recognized for its expertise in curating Asian beauty and lifestyle products, announced today its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Period”).

The Group’s revenue rose by 49.3% to US$243.93 million, driven by its dual-engine strategy across the YesStyle Platforms and AsianBeautyWholesale (“ABW“), which together captured surging global demand for K-beauty products. Gross profit increased by 46.0% to US$73.26 million, and gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 30.0%. Operating profit also grew by 31.9% to US$18.68 million.

Extend market reach with an enhanced global logistics network

To mitigate single-market exposure and capture opportunities arising from accelerating global crave for Asian beauty, geographic diversification remains a strategic priority of the Group. In the first half of 2025, while the US delivered a stable 12.9% revenue growth and remained the Group’s largest single-country market, the Europe and Associated Countries emerged as the fastest-growing region, with approximately 47.7% revenue growth, outpacing the US and contributing 38.5% of the Group’s total revenue for the Period. Latin America and the Middle East regions also demonstrated strong growth momentum, with revenue up by 181.0% and 85.6% year-on-year, respectively. To enhance accessibility in emerging markets, Polish was added to the Group’s multilingual interfaces in July 2025.

Moreover, the Group continued to optimize its global logistics footprint to strengthen supply chain resilience and boost operational efficiency and flexibility. In April 2025, a new 147,000-square-foot distribution center commenced operations in Korea. This was followed in May 2025 by the launch of the Group’s second Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR) warehouse in Hong Kong, building on the proven track record of its first smart warehouse deployed in 2022. Together with facilities in the US, UK, and Germany, the network provides a rapid-response capability to support B2B expansion while enabling B2C platforms to seamlessly absorb order increase. Freight charges as a percentage of revenue reduced to 19.2% from 21.5% a year ago.

Capitalizing on synchronized retail and wholesale development to propel the K-Beauty wave

By aligning online commerce with offline distribution, the Group continues to create compounded value for its ecosystem partners. The B2B network improves product visibility, while the B2C platforms deliver localized, data-driven consumer experiences.

Notably, ABW has successfully established distribution for K-Beauty products with 21 retailers across 17 international markets. These include prominent national chains such as Ulta, TJX, and Burlington in the US; Primark and Superdrug in the UK; OVS in Italy; Flaconi in Germany; Sally Beauty in Mexico; Pichara in Chile; and 7-Eleven in Thailand, among others. Supported by an agile supply chain and diverse product offerings, the Group’s big data analytics provide retail partners with actionable insights to optimize inventory, anticipate trends, and cater to shifting demand, giving them a competitive edge.

Mr. Joshua Lau, Founder, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We continue to witness remarkable growth and rising popularity of K-Beauty across all our served markets, spanning both online and offline channels. By leveraging strong brand partnerships, a robust network of 400,000 influencers, and an advanced logistics infrastructure, we are powering dual growth engines in both B2C and B2B platforms. This unique positioning enables us to deliver exceptional value to our customers while gaining strategic advantages in this rapidly expanding industry. Amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, we remain committed to prudent resource allocation and confident expansion into diverse countries and regions. Fueled by the global resonance of the K-Beauty wave and accelerated by rapid product innovation, we aim to create long-term value for both shareholders and stakeholders.”

Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok Marks 5th Anniversary with a Grand Celebration

Highlighting five years of success, the destination continues to elevate its appeal through a comprehensive marketing strategy and the ongoing addition of world-class luxury brands.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 August 2025 – Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, Thailand’s first and only premium outlet destination, proudly marks its 5th anniversary. The milestone highlights the success of its comprehensive business strategy that spans marketing, customer engagement with both Thai and international shoppers, and strengthening international brand recognition through a distinctive and exceptional shopping experience.

Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok is managed by Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Siam Piwat Group—Thailand’s leading real estate and retail developer—and Simon Property Group from the United States, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use destinations. This powerful partnership has enabled Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to set itself apart and achieve outstanding success within just five years, securing its position as Thailand’s only world-class premium outlet destination.

Michael Tang, Managing Director of Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., stated that over the past five years, the company has been dedicated to developing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok into a truly world-class shopping destination, with a strong focus on understanding customer behavior and needs. He emphasized that delivering exceptional experiences, combined with value and affordability, lies at the core of retail. Moving forward, the company will continue to evolve its strategies to keep up with the ever-changing world. One key strategy is the continuous expansion of the brand portfolio. Last year, the outlet welcomed renowned names such as Emilio Pucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Hoka, Carnival, Element 72, and Smiley—broadening its mix of luxury, international fashion, and sports brands to cater to the diverse preferences of today’s consumers.

This continued success has driven the addition of several renowned brands this year, bringing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to a 99% occupancy rate—effectively full capacity. Many of these new arrivals are global icons and powerful magnets, further enhancing the center’s lifestyle product portfolio. The latest additions include iconic global names such as Givenchy, the French fashion house celebrated for its Parisian elegance, now opening its first and only outlet store in Thailand. Polo Ralph Lauren, the legendary American brand known for its timeless classic style, and TAG Heuer, the Swiss luxury watchmaker noted for its chronograph expertise and powerful sporty designs, have also joined with the debut of Thailand’s first pop-up flagship store.

More exciting brand openings are set for September and October. These include Tory Burch, the American label celebrated for its high-quality, beautiful, and timeless classic designs that inspire women worldwide. In October, PP Space will also debut, bringing together a curated selection of world-class luxury brands to further elevate the shopping experience. A key highlight is Palm Angels, a famous Italian fashion brand admired by fashionistas worldwide for its bold graphic designs—such as the iconic teddy bear—paired with its distinctive gothic logo and monogram motif. The brand brings a unique streetwear aesthetic that balances simplicity with intricate detail, crafted with high-quality materials and precise Italian tailoring. Another standout addition is Crocs, a footwear brand for health-conscious individuals, made from special materials that help reduce impact and are lightweight, making them a perfect choice for those seeking comfortable and supportive footwear.

Popular luxury labels such as Balenciaga, Burberry, Ferragamo, Givenchy, Montblanc, and Versace continue to hold a strong position among discerning shoppers, consistently showcasing their best-selling collections. International fashion brands, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Longchamp, Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, and Lacoste, also draw significant attention. In the sportswear category, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok features Thailand’s largest mono-brand outlets, hosting top brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, New Balance, Hoka, Puma, Skechers, Under Armour, Anta, and Warrix.

The strong presence of leading brands at Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok has driven a 15% increase in customer spending and service usage during the first seven months of 2025 (January–July) compared to the same period last year. Michael Tang noted that despite global and domestic economic challenges, which have led to a decline in certain tourist segments, the company has sustained continuous growth through a comprehensive marketing strategy. By offering renowned brands that meet the expectations of its target customers, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok continues to focus on quality markets. Thai shoppers, who account for 80% of its core customer base, remain strong spenders, particularly during festivals and long holidays, while international visitors—primarily from India, ASEAN countries, and the Middle East—represent 20% of customers and demonstrate significant purchasing power with a keen interest in world-class brands.

Tradition, Reimagined: Yung Kee’s 2025 Mid-Autumn Collection Unveiling the Mini Lava Custard Mooncake in a New Art-Inspired Gift Box

0

Source: Media Outreach

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 August 2025 – As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, sharing mooncakes with family and friends remains a cherished tradition that brings loved ones together. This year, Yung Kee embraces this spirit with its “Indulging in Moonlit Delights, Embracing the Joy of Reunion” collection, featuring exquisitely crafted gift boxes that honor heritage while embracing modern innovation. In collaboration with its contemporary brand Yung’s Bistro, Yung Kee introduces the highly anticipated Mini Lava Custard Mooncakes. Paired with the classic Double Yolk Lotus Seed Paste and Mixed Nuts with Chinese Ham mooncakes, this collection blends traditional craftsmanship with modern flavors, offering a tribute to the festival’s spirit of reunion.

A Symphony of Classic and Contemporary Flavors

This year, Yung Kee partners with Yung’s Bistro to deliver a delightful fusion of Hong Kong’s culinary heritage and contemporary tastes. The new Mini Lava Custard Mooncakes captivates modern palates, featuring carefully selected salted egg yolks that are steamed, finely mashed, and blended into a rich, velvety custard filling for an irresistibly smooth texture. The delicate pastry, crafted from premium Japanese flour and New Zealand butter, is subtly sweetened with low-calorie palatinose and Japanese seaweed sugar for a lighter indulgence that does not compromise on flavor.

Yung Kee’s dedication to tradition shines through its classic offerings. The Double Yolk with Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake showcases premium Xiang lotus seeds—hailed as “China’s finest” are slow-cooked with pure cane sugar for three hours to create a silky smooth, fragrant paste. Paired with top-grade salted egg yolks and encased in a delicate crust, it delivers a timeless taste that lingers on the palate. The Mixed Nuts with Chinese Ham Mooncake adheres to time-honored recipes, blending walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, melon seeds and cashews with savoury Jinhua ham for a complex and textured filling that offers a harmonious tapestry of flavors.

Gift Boxes That Tell a Story of Eastern Elegance

The newly designed gift box reinterprets Eastern aesthetics with a modern touch. Drawing inspiration from the striking hand-painted murals at Yung’s Bistro in Taikoo Place—where figures inspired by the Black Maine Chinese Goose appear to frolic amidst serene pavilion scenes, leisurely enjoying tea from cloisonné teaware—the artwork gracefully adorns each box. The design incorporates classic hues from China’s traditional twelve-color spectrum, including “vermilion” and “emerald green”, reimagined through a modern lens to exude understated sophistication. Each mooncake is individually presented in an individual box adorned with Yung Kee’s iconic calligraphy logo and playful goose silhouettes, reflecting the brand’s dedication to quality and heritage.

Four Exquisite Sets for Every Celebration

At its core, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of unity and togetherness. To suit different gifting and sharing occasions, this year’s “Indulging in Moonlit Delights, Embracing the Joy of Reunion” collection offers four distinctive gift sets:

  • “ENRICH” Mooncake Set: Eight Mini Lava Custard Mooncakes—a sweet treat for the younger generation.
