Month: July 2026

The launch combines a unified, action-oriented world model with Ambient Capture Engine 2.0, three commercial solutions and a new industry benchmark, connecting high-density data with real-world robotic operations.

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 July 2026 – ACE ROBOTICS today unveiled Kairos 3.1, its latest action-oriented world model, alongside Ambient Capture Engine 2.0 and three commercial solutions spanning instant retail, hospitality and outdoor service scenarios.

The announcements were made at a forum ACE ROBOTICS organized during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, convened around the theme of advancing physical AI from “understanding” to “execution.” The event brought together economists, technology executives and embodied AI researchers to examine how general-purpose world models can move from laboratory research to industrial deployment.

The forum also marked the launch of PHYSICAL IQ, a unified benchmark for embodied physical intelligence. It was jointly initiated by the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Association, the Shenzhen Loop Area Institute and the East China branch of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, with participation from more than 20 universities and industry partners.

Thomas J. Sargent, Nobel laureate in Economic Sciences, discussed the limitations of current intelligent systems in rare and previously unseen situations.

A world model built for the physical world

“In the digital world, a model error may result in a flawed image or paragraph. In the physical world, an incorrect action can have real consequences,” said Wang Xiaogang, Chairman of ACE ROBOTICS. “Kairos 3.1 is built around a first-principles approach to embodied world models, helping robots act more reliably in complex and uncertain environments, and accelerating the arrival of physical AI’s Kairos moment.”

Kairos 3.1 is designed as a natively unified model that integrates generative, physical and cognitive intelligence within a single architecture, rather than combining separately developed capabilities.

Built on a hybrid Transformer architecture with a shared mixed-attention mechanism, it brings visual observations, language instructions, force and tactile signals, and policy trajectories into a unified latent space.

This supports an “understand, reason, execute and reflect” loop. The model can break down long-horizon tasks, simulate physical cause and effect across multiple scenarios, rank candidate actions, execute the selected strategy and evaluate the outcome for further adjustment.

At the core of its spatial understanding is ACE-BRAIN-0.5. ACE ROBOTICS said it has achieved state-of-the-art results across 12 public evaluations covering spatial understanding, navigation, manipulation and task-progress assessment, among publicly reported models as of July 2026.

In a household laundry scenario, for example, a robot can identify spatial relationships between objects, divide a task into more than a dozen steps and verify each stage in real time. If a failure occurs, it can identify the affected step and restart from that point rather than repeating the entire task.

For physical generation and reasoning, Kairos-HomeWorld supports whole-home scene generation and object interaction. It is built on 300,000 residential floor plans, 5,000 simulated home environments and 8,700 3D assets covering six categories of physical properties, designed to reflect common residential layouts in China.

The model can simulate multiple action trajectories in parallel and rank them based on predicted success and execution cost before sending instructions to a physical robot.

In internal testing, the Kairos 3.1 8B model achieved an inference latency of 125 milliseconds on the NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform at BF16 precision. Its in-house KairosRT computing engine supports real-time, on-device inference.

Kairos 3.1 also incorporates self-reflective iteration. When an action fails, the robot can evaluate the result and adjust its strategy. In one test, for example, it changed from a three-finger to a four-finger grasp after an unsuccessful attempt and subsequently completed the task.

From high-density data to continuous learning

ACE ROBOTICS also introduced what it calls the “Information-Density Law” for embodied models: the value of data is determined not only by its volume, but by whether it contains information capable of changing the outcome of an agent’s actions.

ACE ROBOTICS classifies embodied data across five information-density levels, from L1 to L5. L1 and L2 data support foundational pre-training; L3 and L4 data remain focused on known tasks; and at L5, data incorporates three-dimensional force and tactile signals, failure-recovery trajectories and variables from open environments. The company says these higher-density forms of interaction data support stronger generalization, reflection and continuous learning.

Built on this principle, Ambient Capture Engine 2.0 is a human-centric system for capturing, processing and reusing high-density physical-interaction data.

ACE Ego Kit is a lightweight wireless wearable comprising head, hand and chest components. It includes the ACE Sense Glove, which offers sensitivity of 0.01 newtons and a joint-angle error of less than two degrees. The system can synchronize data from more than 20 heterogeneous sensors with a timing error of less than one millisecond.

ACE Data Engine is an automated data-production platform for continuous, high-precision annotation of long-horizon tasks. It incorporates ACE-ViDiHand, a generative 4D hand-motion-capture framework designed to track movements despite occlusion and rapid motion, which ACE ROBOTICS reports led across three public benchmarks (ARCTIC, HOT3D and HOI4D) as of July 2026. The company recorded a frame-level accuracy of 0.997 and up to a 4.8-fold improvement in motion smoothness.

ACE Ego Matrix standardizes embodied data across four dimensions: spatial coordinates, embodiment structure, action timing and data quality. It is designed to align data collected by different operators, devices and robot platforms for reuse across systems. ACE ROBOTICS has open-sourced the framework, which it says placed first on the RoboCase and RoboTwin leaderboards.

ACE ROBOTICS also announced the open release of ACE-Data-0, an L5 household-interaction dataset featuring complex physical tasks and high-precision annotations.

Three solutions moving into commercial operation

Building on its data infrastructure and Kairos world-model capabilities, ACE ROBOTICS introduced three standardized industry solutions designed for deployment within existing commercial workflows.

Xiaoman, its integrated fulfillment solution for instant retail, is paired with the new W1 fulfillment robot. The W1 has a robot-to-payload weight ratio of less than 2:1, force-control precision within one newton and a minimum required aisle width of 75 centimeters, making it suitable for high-density shelving environments. It is able to grasp both flexible packaging and rigid goods.

The solution connects robot hardware, world-model capabilities, motion control, product information, warehouse locations and order management. It supports lightweight deployment within days across flash-fulfillment warehouses, small-format stores and integrated warehouse-store setups. It has been deployed with customers including Sense MartGo, Kuaikeda and PetroChina convenience stores, using real order and shelf data to improve fulfillment performance. ACE ROBOTICS plans to deploy the solution across 1,000 retail locations over the next year and expand to approximately 10,000 stores within two years.

Xiaoxin addresses hotel-laundry operations, where ACE ROBOTICS estimates that approximately 80% of demand occurs at night.

The solution enables robots to handle collection, loading, unloading, washing, sorting and folding, with ironing capabilities planned for future versions. It is designed to reduce night-shift staffing pressure and improve operational consistency across non-standard hotel laundry environments.

Xiaotu is designed for autonomous operation in complex outdoor environments. Using a “one brain, many bodies” architecture, it applies a general-purpose intelligent brain (Agentic AI) across multiple quadruped robot platforms.

The system supports indoor and outdoor navigation, dynamic obstacle avoidance, autonomous charging, remote dispatch and multi-robot coordination. It has been deployed in visitor-guidance and interactive experience services at cultural-tourism events, including the Begonia Flower Festival in Tianjin.

Building an open embodied AI ecosystem

ACE ROBOTICS also announced a series of partnerships spanning infrastructure, computing and commercial deployment.

The company entered into a strategic collaboration with the Caohejing Development Zone to develop an embodied AI innovation platform.

In retail and fulfillment, ACE ROBOTICS announced collaborations with PetroChina, Kuaikeda and SenseTime Shanhui covering autonomous warehouse stores, front warehouses and unmanned retail environments.

To support the computing requirements of world-model development, ACE ROBOTICS launched the World Model Cloud Ecosystem initiative with Baidu AI Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Tencent Cloud and SenseCore AI Cloud.

By connecting high-density data, unified world models, robot platforms, commercial applications and shared evaluation standards, ACE ROBOTICS aims to support the transition of embodied AI from individual technical demonstrations to sustained operations in real-world environments.

Today’s premium SUVs are expected to do more than ever before. For EVs, that expectation increasingly extends beyond the drive itself to the ownership experience that comes with it.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2026 – There’s a reason premium SUVs remain the vehicle of choice across much of the Middle East. People here spend a lot of time in their cars, commuting between cities, shuttling between meetings, while thinking nothing of driving hundreds of kilometers over a long weekend.

A vehicle is where conference calls are taken between appointments, where children fall asleep in the back seat on the drive home, and where many of the ordinary moments of daily life quietly unfold. That is also why buyers in the region tend to value both performance and convenience, rather than simply paying for horsepower or a premium badge.

Electric vehicles have made those decisions even more nuanced. Not long ago, conversations about EVs were largely centered on battery size, driving range and charging times. Those questions still matter, but increasingly, buyers also demand a clear picture of their post-delivery ownership experience, specifically requiring convenient charging, straightforward servicing, and long-term support.

Viewed through that lens, perhaps the most interesting thing about the VinFast VF 8 isn’t any single specification. Rather, it is the way the company has approached the ownership experience around it.

Designed by the legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, the all-electric D-segment SUV combines premium styling with everyday practicality. With up to 493 km of NEDC driving range and up to 402 horsepower through its dual-motor AWD system, the VF 8 is equally at home navigating city traffic or tackling longer journeys across the region. Its spacious cabin, Level 2 driver assistance technologies and 15.6-inch infotainment display are designed with comfort in mind, whether the journey lasts twenty minutes or two hours.

In the UAE, buyers also benefit from a 10-year vehicle warranty, a 10-year unlimited-mileage battery warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance and five years of free maintenance up to 100,000 km. These benefits strike at the heart of the EV ownership experience, especially for first-time buyers. Running low on charge before an important meeting or worrying about finding support on a long drive are precisely the kinds of concerns that can make consumers hesitate about making the switch.

Globally, VinFast has been investing heavily in the ecosystem surrounding its vehicles. Earlier this year, the company signed agreements with 29 international aftersales partners as part of its plan to expand its global service network to more than 1,100 workshops across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia during 2026. The initiative includes globally standardized technician training alongside software updates, battery inspections and technical support throughout the ownership journey.

In the UAE, VinFast works with Al Tayer Motors to provide local aftersales support while continuing to strengthen its regional service network through experienced local partners. Earlier this year, the company also signed an MoU with PlusX Electric, a DEWA-approved charging provider, to complement its charging ecosystem with portable charging pods, on-demand mobile charging and emergency roadside charging services.

In many ways, the Middle East’s EV market is still writing its next chapter. Buyers have more choices than ever before, but expectations are rising just as quickly. Developing a competitive electric SUV addresses only part of the equation; ensuring a seamless ownership experience may ultimately prove equally decisive.

在绝经之前，许多女性早已默默承受不适

马来西亚吉隆坡 – Media OutReach Newswire – 日2026年7月6日 — 围绝经期（Perimenopause）是女性生命中的自然阶段。然而，许多女性在进入这一过渡期时，往往不了解自己的身体正经历什么变化，也不知道可以从哪里获得支持。

尽管社会如今越来越关注绝经相关课题，但绝经前的数年却往往未获得足够重视。在围绝经期期间，女性的月经周期、精力、专注力、睡眠、情绪及整体健康状态都可能发生变化。这些变化可能在绝经前数年便开始出现，并逐渐影响女性的日常生活、工作及家庭责任。

由于意识到女性需要更早获得相关知识与支持，大专药剂（Alpro Pharmacy）推出女性健康倡议 Me. NO PAUSE，旨在帮助女性更深入地了解身体变化、提前做好准备，并在迈向绝经期的过程中维持良好的生活与健康状态。

作为这项倡议的一部分，大专（Alpro）为符合资格的女性提供仅需 RM1 的铁蛋白检测，原价为 RM35。Alpro 将为每次检测补贴 RM34，让社区女性能够以更容易负担的价格，了解体内的铁储备状况。

我们鼓励35岁及以上的女性，尤其是长期感到疲倦、出现脑雾、脱发或指甲脆弱症状者，接受铁蛋白检测，并向专业医护人员咨询检测结果。

女性被迫习以为常的疲惫

三十多岁后期、四十多岁及五十岁出头的女性，往往需要同时承担家庭、工作及社区中的多重责任。因此，持续疲惫或难以集中精神，常被归咎于压力、睡眠不足、年龄增长，或只是生活过于忙碌。

然而，这些症状值得被关注，而不应被视为理所当然。

铁蛋白是一种在体内储存铁质的蛋白质。铁蛋白检测能够评估一个人的铁储备状况，并可能在情况进一步发展为缺铁性贫血之前，及早发现铁水平偏低的问题。

疲倦及脑雾等症状并不具特异性，背后可能存在许多不同原因。然而，检测铁蛋白水平能让女性进一步了解一个经常被忽视的可能因素，并获得适当的专业建议。

马来西亚卫生部曾指出，在15至49岁的马来西亚育龄女性当中，约每三人便有一人面对贫血问题。尽管受影响人数众多，铁蛋白检测却仍未普遍被纳入女性日常健康筛查的讨论中。

Alpro 希望通过 Me. NO PAUSE 改变这一现状。

Alpro Pharmacy 专业护理与发展部门兼 Me. NO PAUSE 项目负责人、药剂师吴宜凌表示：

“即使女性长期感到筋疲力尽、思绪不清，或觉得自己不再像从前一样，她们往往仍被期望继续正常生活。这些感受很容易被归咎于压力、年龄，或承担了太多责任。”

“我们希望更早展开这项对话，在女性进入绝经期之前，也在她们开始认为疲惫是自己必须默默忍受的事情之前。RM1 不仅仅是一项促销优惠，更代表 Alpro 致力于降低检测门槛，不让费用成为女性接受筛查的第一道障碍。”

“铁蛋白检测可以帮助女性了解低铁储备是否可能是造成不适的其中一个因素，让她们有机会咨询药剂师，并采取下一步适当行动。她的疲惫值得被听见，她的担忧值得被认真对待，而她的健康不应该永远被放在最后。”

近年来的新兴研究也开始关注，女性在迈向绝经期的过程中，铁储备与认知表现之间可能存在的关系。

2025年发表于科学期刊《Nutrients》的一项研究，针对正处于绝经过渡期、但并未患有贫血的女性展开调查。研究人员观察到，较理想的铁状态与更好的认知表现有关，包括更高的准确度、更佳的辨别能力及更快的反应速度。

研究人员强调，这些发现仍属初步结果，未来需要规模更大、时间更长的研究进一步验证。尽管如此，这项研究突显了深入了解女性铁状态的重要性，尤其是那些在围绝经期出现脑雾、但尚未被诊断为贫血的女性。

为支持这项使命，马来西亚领先的保健品供应商 Powerlife 成为 Me. NO PAUSE 的主要合作伙伴，协助扩大女性铁蛋白检测在全国各地的可及性。Global Science 提供了300台采用手持式荧光技术的铁蛋白分析仪，可在数分钟内提供检测结果，并已配置于所有 Alpro Pharmacy。

Me. NO PAUSE 发布会也获得马来西亚药剂师协会妇女与儿童健康特别兴趣小组，以及玛拉工艺大学（UiTM）代表出席。此次合作结合社区药剂服务与学术研究，共同推动女性健康发展。

代表马来西亚药剂师协会妇女与儿童健康特别兴趣小组的 Harpreet Kaur 女士表示：

“社区药剂师在女性健康筛查中扮演着重要角色，让筛查服务更加容易获得、更具亲和力，并能及时衔接后续行动。”

“我们希望通过这项倡议，提升药剂师识别缺铁高风险女性的能力，为她们提供及时咨询，并在需要进一步医学评估时，协助她们获得适当的医疗照护。”

代表玛拉工艺大学药剂学院的副教授 Mahmathi Karuppannan 博士表示：

“研究能够帮助我们进一步了解马来西亚女性缺铁问题的严重程度、认知水平及其对健康造成的影响。通过此次合作，UiTM 希望收集具意义的本地研究数据，为公众教育、早期风险识别及未来女性健康干预措施的发展提供指引。”

通过结合便利的筛查服务、药剂师咨询及适当的转介途径，Alpro 希望将健康意识转化为具有实际意义且负责任的健康行动。

我们鼓励35岁及以上，并长期出现疲倦、脑雾、脱发或指甲脆弱症状的女性，前往邻近的 Alpro Pharmacy，进一步了解铁蛋白检测，并咨询 Alpro 药剂师。

通过 Me. NO PAUSE，Alpro 希望帮助更多女性在迈向绝经期之前、期间及之后，都能感受到自己的声音被听见，获得正确的信息与所需的支持。

Sebelum Menopaus, Ramai Wanita Mula Mengalami Perubahan Namun Memilih Berdiam Diri

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 Julai 2026 – Perimenopaus merupakan satu fasa semula jadi dalam kehidupan setiap wanita. Namun begitu, ramai wanita memasuki fasa peralihan ini tanpa benar-benar memahami apa yang sedang berlaku kepada tubuh mereka atau mengetahui di mana mereka boleh mendapatkan sokongan yang sewajarnya.

Walaupun menopaus kini semakin mendapat perhatian dan menjadi topik yang lebih terbuka untuk dibincangkan, tempoh beberapa tahun sebelum menopaus sering kali kurang diberi perhatian. Dalam fasa perimenopaus, wanita mungkin mengalami perubahan pada kitaran haid, tahap tenaga, tumpuan, corak tidur, emosi serta kesejahteraan diri secara keseluruhan. Perubahan ini boleh bermula beberapa tahun sebelum menopaus dan secara beransur-ansur memberi kesan kepada kehidupan harian, kerjaya serta tanggungjawab terhadap keluarga.

Menyedari kepentingan meningkatkan kesedaran dan sokongan lebih awal, Alpro Pharmacy memperkenalkan Me. NO PAUSE, satu inisiatif kesihatan wanita yang direka untuk membantu wanita memahami perubahan yang berlaku pada diri mereka, membuat persediaan lebih awal dan menjalani peralihan ke menopaus dengan lebih yakin dan sihat.

Sebagai sebahagian daripada inisiatif ini, Alpro menawarkan Pemeriksaan Ferritin RM1 Bersubsidi kepada wanita yang layak, berbanding harga biasa pada RM35. Alpro menanggung subsidi sebanyak RM34 bagi setiap pemeriksaan bagi memastikan penilaian simpanan zat besi lebih mampu milik dan mudah diakses oleh masyarakat.

Wanita berumur 35 tahun ke atas, terutamanya mereka yang mengalami keletihan berpanjangan, brain fog (kesukaran untuk berfikir atau memberi tumpuan), keguguran rambut atau kuku rapuh, digalakkan menjalani pemeriksaan ferritin dan mendapatkan nasihat daripada profesional penjagaan kesihatan mengenai keputusan yang diperoleh.

Keletihan yang Sering Dianggap Perkara Biasa

Wanita yang berusia lewat 30-an, 40-an dan awal 50-an lazimnya memikul pelbagai tanggungjawab di rumah, di tempat kerja serta dalam komuniti. Justeru, keletihan yang berpanjangan atau kesukaran untuk memberi tumpuan sering dianggap sekadar kesan tekanan, kurang tidur, peningkatan usia atau sebahagian daripada kehidupan yang sibuk.

Namun begitu, simptom-simptom ini tidak seharusnya dianggap perkara biasa tanpa diberikan perhatian.

Ferritin ialah protein yang berfungsi menyimpan zat besi di dalam badan. Pemeriksaan ferritin membantu menilai tahap simpanan zat besi seseorang dan boleh mengesan kekurangan zat besi sebelum ia berkembang menjadi anemia akibat kekurangan zat besi.

Simptom seperti keletihan dan brain fog bukanlah simptom yang khusus kerana ia boleh berpunca daripada pelbagai keadaan kesihatan. Walau bagaimanapun, pemeriksaan ferritin memberi peluang kepada wanita untuk mengenal pasti satu punca yang sering terlepas pandang serta mendapatkan nasihat profesional yang bersesuaian.

Menurut Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM), kira-kira satu daripada tiga wanita Malaysia dalam usia reproduktif, iaitu antara 15 hingga 49 tahun, mengalami anemia. Walaupun isu ini memberi kesan kepada ramai wanita, pemeriksaan ferritin masih belum menjadi sebahagian daripada saringan kesihatan rutin yang sering dibincangkan dalam kalangan wanita.

Melalui Me. NO PAUSE, Alpro berharap dapat mengubah persepsi dan meningkatkan kesedaran mengenai kepentingan pemeriksaan ferritin.

“Wanita sering dijangka terus menjalankan tanggungjawab harian walaupun mereka berasa letih secara berterusan, mengalami kesukaran untuk berfikir dengan jelas atau sekadar merasakan diri mereka tidak seperti biasa. Keadaan ini sering dianggap hanya berpunca daripada tekanan, peningkatan usia atau terlalu banyak tanggungjawab,” kata Ahli Farmasi Ng Yi Ling, Professional Care & Development dan Ketua Projek Me. NO PAUSE di Alpro Pharmacy.

“Kami mahu memulakan perbualan ini lebih awal, sebelum wanita memasuki fasa menopaus dan sebelum keletihan dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang perlu mereka terima sebagai lumrah kehidupan. Harga RM1 ini bukan sekadar satu promosi, tetapi melambangkan komitmen Alpro untuk menghapuskan halangan kos sebagai langkah pertama mendapatkan saringan kesihatan.”

“Pemeriksaan ferritin dapat membantu wanita mengenal pasti sama ada simpanan zat besi yang rendah mungkin menjadi salah satu punca kepada simptom yang dialami. Mereka juga boleh berbincang dengan ahli farmasi dan mendapatkan panduan mengenai langkah seterusnya yang sesuai. Keletihan mereka wajar didengari, kebimbangan mereka perlu diambil serius, dan kesihatan mereka tidak seharusnya diketepikan.”

Kajian-kajian terkini turut memberi perhatian kepada kemungkinan hubungan antara status zat besi dan prestasi kognitif semasa peralihan ke menopaus.

Satu kajian yang diterbitkan dalam jurnal saintifik Nutrients pada tahun 2025 telah mengkaji wanita yang sedang melalui peralihan ke menopaus dan tidak mengalami anemia. Para penyelidik mendapati bahawa status zat besi yang lebih baik dikaitkan dengan prestasi kognitif yang lebih baik, termasuk ketepatan yang lebih tinggi, keupayaan membezakan maklumat yang lebih baik serta masa tindak balas yang lebih pantas.

Para penyelidik menegaskan bahawa dapatan kajian ini masih bersifat awal dan kajian yang lebih besar serta melibatkan tempoh yang lebih panjang masih diperlukan. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian ini menekankan kepentingan untuk memahami dengan lebih baik status zat besi dalam kalangan wanita yang mungkin mengalami brain fog semasa perimenopaus, walaupun mereka belum didiagnosis dengan anemia.

Bagi menyokong misi ini, Powerlife, salah sebuah penyedia suplemen kesihatan terkemuka di Malaysia, tampil sebagai rakan utama Me. NO PAUSE bagi meningkatkan akses kepada pemeriksaan ferritin untuk wanita di seluruh negara. Melalui kerjasama ini, sebanyak 300 penganalisis Ferritin daripada Global Science, yang menggunakan teknologi fluoresens mudah alih untuk memberikan keputusan dalam masa beberapa minit, disediakan di semua cawangan Alpro Pharmacy.

Majlis pelancaran Me. NO PAUSE turut dihadiri oleh wakil daripada Malaysian Pharmacists Society (MPS) Special Interest Group on Women and Child Health serta Universiti

Teknologi MARA (UiTM), yang menghimpunkan amalan farmasi komuniti dan penyelidikan akademik dalam usaha menyokong kesihatan wanita.

“Ahli farmasi komuniti memainkan peranan penting dalam menjadikan saringan kesihatan wanita lebih mudah diakses, lebih mesra masyarakat dan disusuli dengan tindakan yang tepat pada masanya,” kata Ms Harpreet Kaur, wakil daripada Malaysian Pharmacists Society Special Interest Group on Women and Child Health.

“Melalui inisiatif ini, kami berharap dapat memperkasa ahli farmasi untuk mengenal pasti wanita yang mungkin berisiko mengalami kekurangan zat besi, memberikan kaunseling yang tepat pada masanya serta menghubungkan mereka kepada rawatan yang bersesuaian apabila penilaian perubatan lanjut diperlukan.”

Mewakili Fakulti Farmasi, UiTM, Profesor Madya Dr Mahmathi Karuppannan berkata:

“Penyelidikan membantu kita memahami dengan lebih baik beban, tahap kesedaran serta kesan kekurangan zat besi terhadap kesihatan wanita di Malaysia. Melalui kerjasama ini, UiTM berharap dapat menjana penemuan tempatan yang bermakna bagi menyokong pendidikan kesihatan awam, pengesanan awal individu berisiko serta pembangunan intervensi kesihatan wanita pada masa hadapan.”

Dengan menghubungkan saringan yang mudah diakses dengan kaunseling oleh ahli farmasi serta laluan rujukan yang bersesuaian, Alpro berhasrat untuk menterjemahkan kesedaran kepada tindakan penjagaan kesihatan yang lebih bermakna dan bertanggungjawab.

Wanita berumur 35 tahun ke atas yang mengalami keletihan berpanjangan, brain fog, keguguran rambut atau kuku rapuh digalakkan mengunjungi Alpro Pharmacy berhampiran untuk mendapatkan maklumat lanjut mengenai pemeriksaan ferritin dan berbincang dengan ahli farmasi Alpro.

Melalui Me. NO PAUSE, Alpro berharap dapat membantu lebih ramai wanita berasa didengari, lebih memahami perubahan yang dialami serta mendapat sokongan yang diperlukan sebelum, semasa dan selepas melalui peralihan ke menopaus.

Before Menopause, Many Women Are Already Struggling in Silence

While menopause is becoming more widely discussed, the years leading up to it often receive far less attention. During perimenopause, women may experience changes in their menstrual cycle, energy levels, concentration, sleep, mood and overall well-being. These changes may begin several years before menopause and can gradually affect a woman’s daily life, work and family responsibilities.

The heritage journey continues on 25 July 2026 with the Traditional Nyonya Kueh Workshop, where participants will learn to prepare two beloved Peranakan delicacies – Kueh Koswee, soft pandan rice cakes coated with freshly grated coconut and Apom Berkuah, fluffy traditional rice pancakes served with rich coconut sauce. Guided by an experienced instructor, the workshop introduces beginners to authentic recipes and the rich culinary traditions of Singapore’s Peranakan community through hands-on experience.

Both workshops will be held at the Chinatown Singapore along historic Smith Street. Conveniently located near Chinatown and Maxwell MRT stations, the venue allows visitors to complement their workshop experience with a stroll through heritage streets, traditional shops, temples and local Singaporean eateries.

“Chinatown Singapore is a living cultural district where visitors can experience Singapore’s traditions through meaningful and interactive activities,” said Lim Yick Suan, Executive Director of Chinatown Business Association. “These workshops offer international tourists and local Singaporeans an opportunity to create lasting memories while connecting with our local Singaporean heritage in a fun and engaging way.”

Under the MOU, VinFast and TÜV Rheinland will work closely across a broad range of areas, including technical advisory services, testing, certification and specialized training. TÜV Rheinland will prioritize the VinFast Testing Center as its preferred provider of testing and technical advisory services for relevant projects in Vietnam and the ASEAN region. The two parties will also jointly promote the capabilities of the VinFast Testing Center to international automotive manufacturers, develop new business opportunities, and organize specialized training programs and industry seminars to further strengthen technical capabilities.

Previously, VinFast and TÜV Rheinland have collaborated on numerous testing and technical assessment activities covering electric vehicle systems, components and complete vehicles, supporting the development of products that meet the technical requirements of both domestic and international markets. The new strategic MOU elevates the relationship beyond individual projects and establishes a long-term partnership aimed at helping Vietnamese businesses integrate more deeply into the global automotive value chain.

Headquartered in Germany and backed by more than 150 years of experience, TÜV Rheinland is a global leader in testing, inspection and certification. The company provides technical services to automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide, helping them comply with regulatory requirements and international standards related to safety, performance, electromagnetic compatibility, cybersecurity and other specialized technical fields.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Quan, Deputy CEO of Quality Control Division, VinFast, said: “Our partnership with TÜV Rheinland is a key step in VinFast’s long-term strategy to strengthen our research, testing and product development capabilities in line with international standards. Beyond enhancing product quality, this collaboration also creates opportunities for VinFast to gradually become part of the regional and global automotive technical services network, contributing to the continued development of Vietnam’s automotive industry ecosystem.”

Mr. Nguyen The Anh, General Director of TÜV Rheinland Vietnam, said: “We highly value VinFast’s continued investment in research, testing and product development. Leveraging our global expertise in testing, inspection and certification, TÜV Rheinland looks forward to working alongside VinFast to strengthen technical capabilities, drive technological innovation, and develop services that meet the growing demands of the market.“

As Vietnam’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer with a diverse ecosystem spanning electric cars, electric motorcycles and smart mobility solutions, VinFast continues to invest in research, development and testing infrastructure to meet the world’s most demanding international standards. The expanded partnership with TÜV Rheinland further reinforces VinFast’s strategy of building a network of world-leading technical partners, strengthening its research, testing and product development capabilities while contributing to technological innovation and the development of the automotive industry ecosystem in Vietnam and the region.

隨著AI運算負載持續增長，並可能超出單一設施的處理能力，各機構日益需要存取分佈於多個數據中心的算力資源。超低時延 3.2Tbps AI DCI Superhighway讓AI基礎設施供應商能高效擴展其訓練及推理能力，同時支援大學及研究實驗室等機構無縫匯聚全港各區的算力，以進行複雜的科學模擬。

3.2Tbps AI DCI Superhighway在800Gbps AI Superhighway的基礎上全面升級，支援多項進階行業標準，包括遠端直接記憶體存取（RDMA）、聚合以太網 RDMA 第二版（RoCEv2）、多路徑可靠連接（MRC）及超以太網傳輸（Ultra-Ethernet Transport）。3.2Tbps AI DCI Superhighway將於計劃中由落馬洲河套區延伸至將軍澳的先進空芯光纖上運行，較傳統光纖的時延低約三成。高頻寬結合超低時延，能讓分佈於各數據中心數以千計的 GPU 保持同步運作，而數據傳輸延遲減少，則有助降低運算時間及成本，並降低每位元耗能（power-per-bit），提升能源效益。

香港電訊商業客戶業務董事總經理吳家隆表示：「對香港電訊而言，網絡連接是香港AI未來的關鍵基礎。新一代光纖網絡能提供超低時延、高速且安全的數據互通，全面釋放AI的發展潛力。透過無縫連接並充分運用香港的算力資源，我們令模型訓練更為迅速、實現實時數據處理，並推動跨行業AI創新，鞏固香港作為領先創科樞紐的地位。同時為北部都會區奠定重要基礎，一方面將河套區與現有數據中心連接，另一方面為接入未來在區內投入服務的新運算資源作好準備。」

香港電訊網絡工程主管兼Fiber Link Global 行政總裁鄺偉銓表示：「香港電訊致力推動香港創科發展，銳意將香港打造成全球最先進的創科樞紐之一。為此，我們正升級覆蓋香港主要數據中心集群的 AI Superhighway，首階段將連通落馬洲至將軍澳，目標於 2026 年底前完成，並將支援即將上馬的兆瓦級沙嶺數據園區。香港電訊正透過這些項目，為香港創科生態系統的長遠發展構建網絡基礎。」

香港電訊的 AI Superhighway將香港各主要數據中心集群及香港電訊位於落馬洲河套區的新 AI 機樓互連。集團亦已準備就緒，將覆蓋範圍延伸至日後的沙嶺數據園區，支援其發展成為領先的數據設施集群。
