Two men have had their nets, waders and other equipment seized after being caught illegally whitebaiting last night.

Police and the Department of Conservation have been running the joint Operation Īnaka, focusing on whitebaiters illegally fishing in Western Southland.

Last night, Western Southland Police ran the third enforcement night targeting anyone who was whitebaiting outside of the legal season.

“Whitebaiting season ended on 31 October, so it is disappointing that we located two men illegally fishing at the Waiau River mouth last night,” says Western Southland Area Response Manager, Senior Sergeant Pete Graham.

“We have seized their whitebaiting fishing equipment and will be referring the incident to the Department of Conservation to consider prosecution action.

“I encourage all whitebaiters to familiarise themselves with the rules and regulations around fishing activity, in order to avoid any confusion,” Senior Sergeant Graham says.

Police urge the community to report any illegal or suspicious activity by calling 111 if it is happening now, or 105 if it is after the fact.

You can also make a report anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

Information on whitebaiting is available on the Department of Conservation Whitebaiting website.

SIM Global Education Strengthens Role in Singapore’s Growing Transnational Education Landscape

MIL OSI

November 5, 2025

Source: Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 November 2025 – As Singapore cements its position as a leading hub for transnational education (TNE), SIM Global Education (SIM GE) continues to expand its globally recognised academic offerings through established partnerships with the University of London (UK), RMIT University (Australia), and the University at Buffalo (USA).

A Shifting Higher Education Landscape

Over the past decade, Singapore’s higher education system has evolved rapidly, with locally delivered foreign degrees gaining strong acceptance. According to the 2024 Graduate Employment Survey by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), 74.8% of graduates from Private Education Institutions (PEIs), including SIM GE, found employment within six months of graduation.

“While our scale has grown, our purpose has remained unchanged for the past 60 years. We have always been committed to maximising and developing potential through accessible and flexible learning pathways,” said Professor Wei Kwok Kee, President and CEO of the Singapore Institute of Management, in an interview with The Straits Times.

This dedication to academic quality, transparency, and global collaboration has helped SIM GE earn recognition as one of Singapore’s most trusted providers of transnational education.

Affordability and Flexibility Drive Participation

Affordability and flexibility continue to be key factors influencing education choices among students and professionals. Studying for a foreign degree locally at SIM GE allows learners to save on relocation and living costs while receiving the same high-quality curriculum offered at partner universities overseas.

SIM GE’s flexible delivery options, including part-time study and hybrid learning formats, cater to working adults who need to balance professional and academic commitments. These learning modes reflect Singapore’s national emphasis on lifelong learning and workforce adaptability.

As more learners seek global credentials without the financial burden of overseas study, SIM GE’s model of accessible education continues to gain popularity across Singapore and the region.

Quality Assurance and Local Relevance

Academic excellence and transparency form the foundation of SIM GE’s operations. The institution holds the EduTrust-Star certification, the highest quality mark awarded to private education providers in Singapore. It undergoes regular audits to ensure its curriculum and assessments remain aligned with international standards.

SIM GE’s programmes integrate globally benchmarked content with a strong local context. This ensures graduates are not only academically capable but also industry-ready. The focus on applied learning and workforce relevance has strengthened both student confidence and employer trust.

Bridging Employer Perceptions

While some employers still prefer graduates from autonomous universities or full-time overseas study, attitudes are changing. According to SkillsFuture Singapore (2024) and Human Resources Online (2025), median starting salaries for PEI graduates now average about S$3,500 compared to S$4,500 for public university graduates. The difference continues to narrow as companies place greater emphasis on skills and performance. SIM GE’s applied learning model, focus on digital competencies, and engagement with industry mentors have enhanced graduate employability. Many SIM GE alumni are now thriving in diverse sectors, demonstrating adaptability and real-world problem-solving skills that employers value highly.

Singapore’s Emerging Education Hub

The rise of foreign degrees in Singapore is reshaping global education dynamics. Leading international universities increasingly view Singapore as a strategic anchor for TNE across Asia. Supported by a robust regulatory framework and a future-ready economy, Singapore has become both a gateway and a hub for academic collaboration and global talent mobility.

SIM GE exemplifies this transformation. Through its university partnerships, rigorous academic standards, and responsiveness to workforce needs, SIM GE translates international quality into local impact. Its programmes offer global exposure while ensuring alignment with Singapore’s economic priorities.

Looking ahead, demand for internationally recognised degrees in Singapore is expected to remain strong. As employers seek graduates with both global competence and local insight, institutions like SIM GE are poised to lead the next phase of growth—bridging education and employability and reinforcing Singapore’s position as Asia’s trusted education hub.

Psychology Degree at SIM Global Education: Nurturing the Next Generation of Mental Health Professionals

Source: Media Outreach

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 November 2025 – SIM Global Education (SIM GE), in collaboration with the University at Buffalo (UB) and the University of Wollongong (UOW), offers accredited undergraduate psychology degrees designed to meet Singapore’s growing demand for mental health professionals.

Addressing National Mental Health Needs

Singapore is grappling with increasing mental health challenges. According to the TELUS Mental Health Index (2024), nearly one-third of Singaporean workers score 50 or below on the mental health scale, indicating a high risk of psychological issues. The impact of a sluggish global economy and a tightening job market has exacerbated stress levels among workers. A study by Milieu Insight (2024) revealed that 52% of employees in Singapore report a low quality of life at work, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support.

To address this growing concern, Singapore plans to increase the number of psychologists in the public sector by 40%, aiming to meet the rising demand for mental health services (Channel News Asia, 2024).

The SIM-UB and SIM-UOW psychology programme equips students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, preparing them to effectively address psychological issues in diverse settings.

Shaping Future Psychologists with a Global Perspective

SIM-UB offers a full American psychology degree in Singapore. The three-year curriculum encompasses foundational and advanced topics in cognitive, clinical, and social psychology. Students also have the opportunity to explore interdisciplinary subjects such as communication, sociology, and business, allowing them to tailor their education to their career aspirations. This diverse curriculum provides a strong liberal arts foundation alongside core psychological knowledge.The programme emphasizes experiential learning through internships, research projects, and community engagement, enabling students to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

Similarly, SIM-UOW offers the Bachelor of Psychological Science, which is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). The programme adopts a scientist-practitioner model that integrates research-led teaching with practical, hands-on learning. Students engage in case studies, applied research projects, and community- based experiences, preparing them to tackle real-world mental health challenges with confidence and competence.

A solid education in psychology at SIM GE opens doors to further academic pursuits and professional opportunities. According to SIM’s 2023 Graduate Employment Survey, over 85% of psychology graduates were employed or enrolled in postgraduate programmes within six months of graduation. Indeed Singapore (2025) reports that psychologists earn an average monthly base salary of S$4,732, with experienced professionals earning significantly more. Graduates are well-positioned for careers as psychologists, behaviour modification caseworkers, public relations consultants, and more.

Cultivating Empathy with a Global Perspective

SIM GE’s psychology programme equips students to meet Singapore’s growing mental health needs with empathy, cultural awareness, and practical skills. Through interactive classes, real-world case studies, and cross-cultural modules, students gain a global outlook and local relevance.

With over 30% of international students, the learning environment fosters diverse perspectives. Internships and research projects in areas like child psychology and organisational behaviour provide hands-on experience that prepare graduates for impactful careers.

SIM GE nurtures professionals who listen, observe, and act with compassion—ready to support individuals, workplaces, and communities.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 November 2025 – In San Jose, lunch lines form early for a bowl of braised beef noodle soup that locals say “tastes like a warm hug.” At the heart of this experience is Duan Chun Zhen, a brand named after the founder’s beloved grandmother—created to share the comforting taste of home with the world.

Duan Chun Zhen’s signature Braised Beef Noodle Soup, featuring a rich broth simmered with over 23 herbs and spices.

Founded in Hsinchu, Taiwan, the brand draws from the founder’s deep-rooted memories of family meals and his grandmother’s cooking. Operated under KINGZA International Co., Ltd., Duan Chun Zhen has grown from a single local eatery into a celebrated culinary brand that represents both heritage and innovation. Today, Duan Chun Zhen is recognized across Asia as a leading international brand, with locations spanning multiple countries and a growing global following.

“Every bowl we serve carries the spirit of home,” says the brand’s U.S. marketing director. “The name Duan Chun Zhen represents purity, sincerity, and a commitment to authenticity—that’s what we want our customers to taste.”

The signature broth is anything but rushed. It simmers for hours with over 23 spices and herbs, blending Sichuan-inspired boldness with the mellow sweetness of Taiwanese flavors. The beef is slow-braised for tenderness, the noodles are firm yet chewy, and the aroma alone draws passersby inside.

“The flavors hit just right. It tastes nostalgic, even if you didn’t grow up with it,” one diner shared. Duan Chun Zhen offers a dining experience rooted in warmth, flavor, and care. In addition to its renowned beef noodle soup, the menu features xiao long bao, crispy popcorn chicken, herbal drinks, and cold appetizers—offering a rich journey through East Asian comfort cuisine.

The U.S. food and beverage market has seen a sharp rise in interest in regional Asian cuisine. According to Yelp’s 2024 Food Trends Report, mentions of Taiwanese food rose by 38% year-over-year, with dishes like beef noodle soup and braised pork rice becoming staples on mainstream menus across North America.

With this growing demand for authentic culinary experiences, Duan Chun Zhen is actively expanding its franchise network in North America. The brand currently operates locations in Cupertino, Fremont, and San Jose, California, bringing the taste of Taiwan to communities with a growing appetite for regional Asian cuisine. The upcoming Milpitas store, nestled within the vibrant Great Mall, will mark Duan Chun Zhen’s fourth Bay Area location, another milestone in the brand’s swift U.S. expansion.

Whether you’re a seasoned restaurateur or an entrepreneur passionate about food, the brand offers a proven business model, robust operational support, and a story that resonates with global consumers. Franchise opportunities are now open in select U.S. cities, welcoming new partners to bring this legacy brand to their local communities.

Proposal to revoke asbestos code of practice concerning

LiveNews Publisher

November 5, 2025

Source: NZCTU

The NZCTU Te Kauae Kamahi is strongly concerned with WorkSafe’s proposal to remove the asbestos Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and replace it with other forms of guidance.

“Workers need to be afforded the strongest protection under the law against asbestos, which remains one of the biggest workplace killers in Aotearoa New Zealand,” said NZCTU President Sandra Grey.

“Around 220 workers are killed from asbestos related deaths every year. What’s needed is stronger protections for workers.

“ACOPs have specific legal standing that other forms of guidance do not have. The form and function of ACOPs gives workers the strength to insist on their legal rights to safe work, and to ensure the safety of themselves and others.

“While it is important that materials on working with asbestos are updated and improved, this should not come at the expense of legal protections for workers.

“Given the severe impacts of asbestos, the guidance material on its management and removal needs to be clear cut. New Zealand has a shocking track record on workplace health and safety, and we must not let that get even worse,” said Grey.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 November 2025 – Wildberries, a leading digital platform in Eurasia, has begun testing drone delivery of orders placed on its online marketplace. The first unmanned deliveries were successfully carried out from a Wildberries logistics center to one of its pickup points in St. Petersburg.

The advanced technology was tested with the support of the St. Petersburg Transport Committee, using a certified domestic unmanned aircraft system. The trials included a complex route featuring multiple landing points.

“We are continuously working to make the delivery process as fast and convenient as possible for our customers,” said Maxim Kim, Head of Wildberries’s Pickup Point Development Department. “Drone-assisted delivery is one of the innovations we are testing and believe in, particularly for hard-to-reach regions.”

Wildberries processes more than 20 million orders daily through its online marketplace. To enhance the speed and efficiency of order delivery, the company is actively expanding its logistics infrastructure across Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other markets, while also piloting cutting-edge technologies.

Currently, more than 90% of Wildberries’s orders are delivered to pickup points, where customers can collect their purchases and return items on the spot. The company operates over 90,000 pickup points across eight countries, most of which are operated by local entrepreneurs under a franchise model. Some are located in remote areas – for instance, Wildberries recently opened a pickup point in a mountainous region of Tajikistan at an altitude of approximately 2,500 meters.

At its major warehouses, Wildberries employs automated ground vehicles (AGVs) to move storage racks and robotic systems equipped with suction-cup grippers to handle and sort products. These technologies accelerate order processing and free employees from physically demanding or repetitive tasks.

Wildberries also integrates artificial intelligence (AI) across its marketplace operations. AI systems assist customers in searching for products using images or voice queries, while sellers can leverage AI tools to quickly create product listings and incorporate AI-generated virtual models into their catalogs.

PHUKET, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 October 2025 – Known as the “Land of Smiles,” Thailand blends breathtaking landscapes, world-renowned hospitality, and vibrant cultural heritage with some of the world’s most delicious cuisine.

The Kingdom’s idyllic tropical island of Phuket, now expecting record numbers of visitors as it enters the high season this month, is becoming the latest hotspot for Britons considering a second home or new life abroad, according to Banyan Group Residences, the island’s leading luxury property developer.

Foreign buyers account for over 60% of condo sales, with UK nationals ranking among the top 10 investors. Property values have historically risen 5-10% annually, making it a solid long-term investment too.
