  • Achieving the second position on the list, the express logistics provider has consistently secured the top 3 positions for 10 consecutive years

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2025 – DHL Express has once again been recognized as one of Asia’s top employers, securing the number 2 spot on the 2025 Great Place to Work® Best Workplaces in Asia™ list. This marks another milestone in the company’s journey of excellence in fostering a people-first culture, amid a volatile and challenging external environment.

DHL Express is ranked among the best workplaces in Asia

Despite external challenges, DHL Express continues to demonstrate its “As One” spirit, strengthening its culture of resilience and unity. Equally, the accolade underscores the organization’s unwavering focus on being an employer of choice – one of DHL Group’s four bottom lines – to prioritize its people’s health and welfare.

“Our people are the center of everything we do. I am proud of our achievement for consistently being recognized as the preferred workplace. The team’s dedication, passion and innovation to ensure every employee has the tools and opportunities they need to thrive are key to our success today,” said Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express. “As we are confronted by evolving trade patterns and increasingly complex supply chains, we must remain focused, agile and adaptable, without compromising on our people’s safety and overall wellbeing. I am confident that this will position us differently for the future – enabling us to accelerate sustainable growth.”

Empowering people through Strategy 2030

This achievement also comes at a time when the logistics industry faces growing challenges driven in part by evolving workforce dynamics, identified as one of the megatrends of DHL Group’s Strategy 2030 to have a significant impact on the sector. With the emergence of technologies that are reshaping job profiles, labor patterns and segment sizes are also changing. DHL Express is committed to strengthening its people and ensuring the organization is future-ready with a focus on upskilling, diversity and inclusivity as well as digitalization. For example, in the past year, the team has invested in and rolled out modern and advanced technology platforms to improve the quality and productivity of our sales and customer service functions.

Celebrating excellence: Employee of the Year Awards

DHL Express believes in celebrating and recognizing individuals for their outstanding contributions. Employee of the Year awards is an event that DHL Express hosts annually to honor employees across the Asia Pacific region who exemplify DHL’s values of speed, passion, can-do attitude, and doing it right the first time. This year, more than 200 employees from across the region that went above and beyond their job responsibilities received the award. Also commended concurrently were DHL’s Got Heart winners, who embodied the company’s purpose “Connecting people, improving lives”. These five employees were lauded for making meaningful impact on communities or supported causes close to their hearts, in addition to pursuing personal career development.

“Being recognized as one of Asia’s top workplaces is a reflection of the culture we’ve built together – one that values inclusion, growth, and purpose,” said Fadzlun Sapandi, Executive Vice President of HR at DHL Express. “We work hard to ensure that every employee feels seen, valued, and empowered to shape their own career journey. Through targeted development programs, leadership coaching, and a strong emphasis on internal mobility, we are not just building careers but also creating a work environment where individuals and their unique perspectives can also contribute to our success.”

Looking ahead

As DHL Express continues to evolve, its commitment to people, purpose, and planet remains steadfast. The company will further harness its internal Smart Connect platform to foster collaboration, enable personalized learning, and cultivate a stronger sense of community across its workforce. At the same time, the Certified International Specialist (CIS) program will remain a cornerstone of employee development that seeks to deepen expertise, strengthen internal relationships, and embed DHL’s values.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. Its Great Place To Work For All™ Model helps companies evaluate the experience of every employee. Starting in 2026, the logistics company will no longer be evaluated by individual business units globally but will be certified as DHL. As part of the company’s commitment to becoming an employer of choice, DHL Group emphasizes creating a safe and positive work environment, competitive benefits, and fostering employee development and inclusion.

Holistic Way Unveils New Plant-Based Menopause Relief Supplement

Published

on

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 August 2026 – JR Life Sciences Pte Ltd, the company behind Singapore’s No. 1 Health-Supplement Brand, Holistic Way, announced the launch of its newest innovation in women’s health: a plant-based Menopause Relief supplement formulated to support women through every stage of menopause. The product is officially released this month, underscoring the company’s deepening commitment to addressing the evolving health needs of women in Singapore and across the region.

As awareness around women’s health continues to grow, menopause remains a life stage that is frequently underserved by mainstream health solutions. JR Life Sciences is responding to this gap with a science-backed, plant-derived formulation that offers a natural alternative to conventional hormone-based therapies, one that is both accessible and aligned with the preferences of today’s health-conscious consumer.

Menopause Relief is a once-daily capsule containing three plant-based phytoestrogens, each selected for their clinically studied benefits in managing menopause symptoms and supporting long-term health. The formulation is free from synthetic hormones and is suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets, making it broadly accessible across diverse consumer lifestyles.

Key active ingredients include:

  • Lifenol Hops Extract (8-PN phytoestrogen): Shown to lessen hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, restlessness and irritability while helping to maintain total-body bone-mineral density.
  • Flax Lignan (SDG phytoestrogen): Provides gentle hormonal support that helps balance oestrogen levels during the transition.
  • Soy Isoflavone (genistein and daidzein): Supports bone strength, reduces hot flashes and steadies mild mood swings.

The launch of Menopause Relief reflects a broader strategic priority for JR Life Sciences: to expand its women’s health portfolio in response to growing consumer demand for natural health solutions. In Singapore, where an ageing population is driving increased interest in preventive health and targeted supplementation, the company sees a significant opportunity to better serve women navigating the menopause transition.

Holistic Way currently distributes a comprehensive range of nutraceuticals across key health categories, including:

As JR Life Sciences prepares for 2027, its focus remains on addressing unmet market needs and evolving consumer expectations. Guided by a commitment to science-backed innovation and quality, the company continues to invest in building a future-ready product pipeline that supports long-term well-being and reinforces trust among consumers in Singapore and beyond.

Menopause Relief is now available through Holistic Way’s retail and digital channels. For more information, visit https://holisticway.com.sg/.

VinFast’s Expansion Mirrors the Global Shift in EV Growth

Published

on

Emerging economies are becoming the EV industry’s fastest-growing markets, creating new opportunities for automakers with an international footprint. VinFast’s latest expansion reflects that shift.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2026 – For much of the past decade, the global electric vehicle conversation has revolved around three markets: China, the United States, and Europe. But recent industry data suggests the next chapter may be written elsewhere.

In July, VinFast exported more than 5,000 electric vehicles aboard two dedicated vessels.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global car sales fell about 5% in the first half of 2026 as economic pressures, fuel price volatility and policy changes weighed on demand in China and the US. Yet electric vehicle sales rebounded strongly in the second quarter, reaching record levels in 50 countries. Markets including Vietnam, India, Australia and South Korea roughly doubled EV sales compared with a year earlier, while more than 90 countries posted year-on-year growth during the first half of the year.

The shift reflects a broader change in where future industry growth is likely to come from. While China remains the world’s largest EV market, the IEA expects sales there to stagnate this year for the first time this decade, even as electric vehicles account for more than 60% of new car sales. Meanwhile, emerging markets are becoming increasingly important, supported by expanding policy incentives, growing charging infrastructure and rising consumer interest.

The agency also notes that China and other emerging economies are expected to account for around 60% of global car demand over the next decade, making success in these markets an increasingly important determinant of future automotive leadership.

VinFast’s latest performance reflects this changing landscape.

The Vietnamese automaker delivered 70,085 electric vehicles globally in the second quarter of 2026, up 96% year-on-year, bringing first-half deliveries to 128,662 vehicles, a 78% increase from the same period last year. The company’s two-wheel business also continued to expand rapidly, with 286,039 electric scooters and e-bikes delivered during the quarter, up 311% year-on-year.

The delivery mix also highlights the importance of products designed for diverse market needs. Models ranging from the compact VF 3 and VF 5 to the Limo Green MPV and the newly introduced VF MPV 7 all contributed meaningfully to second-quarter volumes, suggesting demand is spread across both personal mobility and commercial transportation segments.

Just as significant is where those vehicles are going.

In July, VinFast exported more than 5,000 electric vehicles aboard two dedicated vessels. One shipment, consisting of approximately 1,500 VF 6 SUVs, was designated for partner Green SM’s planned expansion in Europe, while another transported more than 3,500 vehicles to the Philippines and Indonesia. The voyages marked VinFast’s 37th and 38th international export shipments in fewer than four years, underscoring the increasing operational scale behind its global expansion.

VinFast’s effort in international market, including in the Middle East, shows that as growth becomes more geographically diversified, automakers can no longer rely on a handful of mature markets to drive expansion. Instead, success will increasingly depend on building products, distribution networks and operations that can compete across a wide range of emerging economies.

For the global EV industry, the center of gravity is not disappearing from established markets. It is becoming far more distributed. VinFast’s recent momentum suggests that companies positioned across multiple high-growth regions may be among the best placed to benefit from that shift.

Published

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2026 – EM Services and SPTel will formalise a strategic partnership to explore and deploy digital solutions that support smart estate management operations across Singapore, with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 6 August 2026.

The MOU signing will take place during the 29th SME Infocomm Commerce Conference (SMEICC), organised by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) and held from 5 to 6 August 2026 at Suntec Singapore.

The collaboration brings together EM Services’ expertise in estate management with SPTel’s digital infrastructure capabilities, including resilient connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

As a first project under the partnership, EM Services and SPTel have deployed a Smart Rodent Monitoring solution at selected estates, with technology support from Cre8tec. The solution uses connected sensors and digital technologies to enable proactive monitoring of rodent activity, resulting in more timely intervention and more hygienic common spaces.

Beyond rodent monitoring, the partnership will explore how connectivity, IoT and emerging technologies can support future estate management applications. Potential areas include utilities monitoring, environmental monitoring and other smart estate solutions designed to improve operational efficiency and service delivery.

The collaboration also enables EM Services to work with industry partners, innovators and Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) to identify and pilot new technologies that can be scaled up to benefit estate operations and residents.

Through this partnership, EM Services and SPTel aim to deliver tangible benefits for both operations and residents, including:
  • Faster detection of estate issues
  • Faster response and resolution times
  • Better use of manpower and resources
  • Better services and living environments for residents

“At EM Services, we are continually exploring ways to enhance estate operations and improve the living environment for residents. Our partnership with SPTel brings together operational expertise and digital connectivity to support more proactive estate management. Starting with smart rodent monitoring, we look forward to exploring how technology and innovation can help us respond faster, deploy resources more effectively and deliver better outcomes for the communities we serve.”
Jen Tan
CEO
EM Services

“We are honoured to be selected by EM Services to power the next generation of smart townships in Singapore. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing digital infrastructure as a foundational pillar for more connected, responsive, and sustainable communities.

By leveraging SPTel’s IoT-as-a-Service platform, LoRaWAN-enabled sensor network, edge cloud capabilities, and resilient connectivity, we are enabling the rapid deployment and scalable growth of smart township solutions.
