This is a hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. Actual bonuses and dividends are not guaranteed and determined solely at AIA’s discretion.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 January 2026 – Lambency Detailing, a name trusted by car owners across Singapore for its commitment to exceptional automotive care, is marking a significant new chapter. The company has officially opened its second outlet at WCEGA Plaza in Bukit Batok, making professional car grooming more accessible to clients in the west, just as demand is set to surge for Chinese New Year.

Recognised as the Sgcarmart Star Merchant from 2021 to 2026 and a SONAX Authorised Premium Detailer, Lambency Detailing blends world-class German technology with unrivalled workmanship. Led by IDA-certified professionals, the team brings deep technical knowledge and a long-standing reputation for transparent, quality service to every appointment. This expansion into Bukit Batok is a natural step forward for a company whose sole mission has always been to provide every car owner with peace of mind, fair pricing, and genuine care in a welcoming, no-pressure environment.

With the opening of its Bukit Batok outlet, Lambency Detailing is also introducing an expanded menu of services to meet the evolving needs of car enthusiasts and owners of premium vehicles. Launching in 2026, the team will offer dry ice treatment for gentle, effective cleaning without water or harsh chemicals, professional car spray painting using top-grade materials to restore any vehicle’s finish to showroom brilliance, to safeguard paintwork against chips, scratches, and environmental harm for the long term. It should be noted that advanced services such as dry ice treatment and professional spray painting are available exclusively at the Ubi outlet, where the team is equipped with the specialised technology and facilities required for these precision-driven solutions.

Lambency Detailing’s journey began with one simple frustration: the belief that car owners in Singapore should not have to compromise on price, quality, or service. Through years of refinement and the support of like-minded car owners, the company has grown into a centre of technical excellence, where clients receive truly personalised before-and-after care. Today, Lambency Detailing’s experience and dedication can be found at both of its conveniently located centres — its flagship Ubi outlet serving Singapore’s automotive hub in the east, and the newly opened Bukit Batok outlet at WCEGA Plaza for the west — ensuring that more drivers can embrace their festive journeys with vehicles that look and feel their absolute best.

“Our new Bukit Batok outlet represents a fresh chapter of growth for Lambency Detailing. By extending our presence to the west, we are doubling down on our commitment to technical excellence. We want our customers to experience a higher standard of transparency and quality as we evolve our service offerings for 2026,” says Matthew Lim, Director of Quantum Globe Pte Ltd, the company behind Lambency Detailing.

For this Chinese New Year and beyond, Lambency Detailing is ready to help every car owner drive forward with confidence, value, and peace of mind.

Paul Chan attends the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Switzerland; spotlights Hong Kong’s advantages as an international hub for trade and finance

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 January 2026 – Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), has joined about 3,000 world leaders attending the 56^th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland (January 19-23). During the WEF Annual Meeting 2026, themed “A Spirit of Dialogue”, Mr Chan attends, speaks and joins discussions at several keynote meetings, luncheons and dinners. He also meets with political, business and financial leaders to brief them on the latest situation in Hong Kong as well as the city’s new opportunities.

Mr Chan attended a breakfast reception hosted by virtual asset enterprise Animoca Brands, headquartered in Hong Kong, yesterday (January 20). Speaking at the meeting, Mr Chan said that Hong Kong adopts a proactive yet prudent approach to the development of digital assets guided by the principle of “same activity, same risk, same regulation” to promote responsible and sustainable market development. Since 2023, Hong Kong has issued licences to 11 virtual asset trading platforms, and a licensing regime for stablecoins is expected to be launched later this year. The Financial Secretary also noted the HKSAR Government’s leadership role in promoting tokenisation, including the issuance of three batches of tokenised green bonds amounting to around US$2.1 billion.

Mr Chan also engaged with a number of officials from different economies and regional organisations attending the WEF Annual Meeting, including Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance of Thailand, Mr Ekniti Nitithanprapas; the Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi; the Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade of Egypt, Mr Hassan El Khatib; and the State Secretary for International Finance at the Federal Department of Finance of Switzerland, Ms Daniela Stoffel. They exchanged views on the global political and economic landscape and issues of mutual concern, and explored opportunities to strengthen collaboration in areas such as trade, finance, industry development and digital transformation.

During a meeting with the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Mr Chan reiterated that Hong Kong, China firmly supports free trade and multilateralism, and expressed support for the WTO’s efforts to pursue reforms in response to current global challenges, with a view to enhancing its agility in addressing emerging issues in international trade.

On arriving Davos (January 19), Mr Chan began his visit programme by meeting with the Minister of Economy of the Sultanate of Oman, H.E. Dr Said Mohammed Al-Saqri. During the meeting, the two sides discussed ways to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as finance, trade, green transformation and industrial development.

Mr Chan said that Hong Kong’s advantages as a “super connector” could support Oman’s transitioning from an oil-driven growth model towards a more diversified economic structure. He said that Hong Kong could facilitate Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong enterprises to invest in Oman to support its infrastructure and industrial development. At the same time, Hong Kong’s status as an international financial centre in Asia could provide Omani enterprises with an ideal platform for fundraising and financing, as well as offshore Renminbi investment and risk management products.

Mr Chan will continue his programme in Davos, including participating at the 2026 Davos-Caixin CEO Luncheon and the “How to Finance Decarbonization?” session of the WEF Annual Meeting, before returning to Hong Kong on January 24 morning.
