Published

on

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2025 Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released insights from its 2025 Malaysia Employee Benefits and Wellbeing Report, which provides a comprehensive view of the current workplace dynamics for more than 130 companies and 507 employees highlighting the evolving landscape of employee benefits and wellbeing in Malaysia.

The report highlighted that 40 percent of employees, under 29 years old, and 53 percent of those ranging from age 30-34 are considering seeking new employment within the next 12 months. Furthermore, the report also found that 51 percent of employees who have worked for three to five years are also considering changing jobs in the coming year. These groups include workers involved in execution roles and mid-level managers with several years of experience and institutional knowledge, whose potential departure could affect business continuity and productivity.

The report also found that as prospective employees make decisions about choosing an employer, 57 percent valued work flexibility, while 50 percent valued work-life balance and opportunities for career growth and development.

Healthcare costs on the rise

Healthcare cost is a key concern for employers in Malaysia. Employers are seeing five to 10 percent annual benefits cost increases, primarily due to rising medical costs and increased benefits usage. This financial pressure may lead employers to reconsider benefit levels, challenging employers to maintain or curate a competitive benefits package. This also influences the design of benefits, which impacts employees.

“Wellbeing factors such as emotional, physical, work-life, social and financial are closely linked and interconnected to each other and contribute to the strength of a workforce,” said Surendran Ramanathan, head of Wealth Solutions in Malaysia at Aon. “Improving one area can impact others. Prioritising benefits and wellbeing are not merely a strategic choice; it is necessary for organisations to thrive in a competitive landscape. By investing in comprehensive benefits packages and robust wellbeing initiatives, companies can significantly enhance employee health, engagement and productivity, leading to a more motivated workforce which is crucial for driving the organisation’s success,” Ramanathan added.

Eighty-one percent of employers and 77 percent of employees acknowledged that flexible working improves work/life balance and flexibility. However, 73 percent of employers were concerned with collaboration among teams and 57 percent of employees are concerned about reduced interaction highlighting the challenge of maintaining workplace culture.

While both employers and employees value wellbeing, a gap exists between its importance and actual outcomes. Although 96 percent of those surveyed rated financial wellbeing as a top priority, only 30 percent have assessed their retirement income and feel on track with savings, highlighting a disconnect between current financial habits and retirement planning.

Connie Chung, principal consultant for Wealth Solutions in Malaysia at Aon, said, “Retirement savings are a growing concern. Despite the Employees Provident Fund being key to retirement savings, many retirees lack sufficient funds to cover post-retirement expenses, highlighting the importance of financial literacy and better saving strategies. Financial education is essential for employees’ financial planning across different life stages, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and tools.”

Ingdan Powers Embodied AI with Humanoid-Style Brain-Cerebellum Chipset to Boost Robotics Ecosystem

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 March 2026 – Ingdan, Inc. (“Ingdan” or the “Company”, stock code: 400.HK; with its subsidiaries (the ”Group”)), a core supplier in the AI computing power supply chain and a leading application technology solutions provider, announces continued progress in strengthening its humanoid robotics ecosystem through an integrated embodied intelligence IC product matrix, supporting the industry’s transition toward large‑scale commercialization.

2026 is widely regarded as a milestone year for humanoid robotics, in which humanoid robots transition from laboratory prototypes and demonstration performances to large‑scale mass production. At CES in January, NVIDIA announced the commercial launch of its physical‑AI core platform Jetson Thor. Tesla is scheduled to officially release the mass‑production engineering version of its Optimus (V3) humanoid robot by the end of March, with plans to initiate million‑unit‑level production lines by the end of 2026—an inflection point widely regarded as the “Model 3 moment” of the humanoid robotics industry. At the same time, Chinese robotics companies such as AGIBOT, Unitree, and Fourier Intelligence have already deployed products at scale in warehousing and logistics scenarios.

Against this backdrop, the upstream hardware focus of the humanoid robotics industry is increasingly converging on “Brain-Cerebellum” collaboration and low‑latency, multi‑joint real‑time control, which are essential to achieving coordinated, smooth, and human‑like robotic motion. During the CMG Spring Festival Gala, robots from multiple companies demonstrated complex coordinated movements and dexterous hand operations, further highlighting the value of this technical direction.

D‑Robotics, originating from the AIoT and robotics division of Horizon Robotics, focuses on edge‑side embodied intelligence solutions characterized by high computing power, integrated computation and control, and low latency. Leveraging its parent company’s long‑term experience in intelligent driving, D‑Robotics has established a precise position in humanoid robot “Brain-Cerebellum” coordination and real‑time joint control.

In November 2025, D‑Robotics unveiled its flagship robotics computing platform S600, with an official release planned for the end of the first quarter of 2026. The S600 platform features a highly integrated humanoid‑style “Brain-Cerebellum” chipset architecture. Its “Brain” configuration combines an 18‑core A78AE CPU with a proprietary Nash‑architecture BPU, delivering 560 TOPS (INT8) edge computing power and supporting efficient deployment of VLA, VLM, LLM, and locomotion models. Its “Cerebellum” configuration integrates a 6‑core R52+ MCU, providing high‑reliability, real‑time motion control.

By integrating CPU, BPU, and real‑time MCU capabilities into a single SoC, S600 enables a closed‑loop architecture encompassing perception, decision‑making, and real‑time action control. This design addresses a key industry challenge in which many edge AI processors lack embedded real‑time MCUs and rely on external controllers, resulting in excessive latency. The integrated MCU supports high‑frequency, high‑precision PWM signal generation based on FOC algorithms, enabling precise motor control and contributing to stable rhythm and natural gait.

The S600 platform has been adopted by multiple robotics companies such as Fourier Intelligence, Booster Robotics, X Square Robot, and ROBOTERA, supporting applications that require stable multi‑joint coordination and smooth motion performance.

  • With intelligent AWD and advanced ADAS, the CHANGAN DEEPAL S05 AWD offered uncompromising safety and control on winter roads.

Saalfelden, Austria – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 March 2026 – Following extreme cold tests in Yakeshi, China, the 2026 Changan Global Testing Season made its European debut this February with the Changan Winter Experience in Courmayeur and the Winter Test Drives in Saalfelden. The all-electric CHANGAN DEEPAL S05 AWD was tested on snow and ice—familiar conditions for European drivers—offering dealers and journalists an immersive introduction to Changan’s electric mobility vision through dynamic drives.

Three-time Olympic gold medalist and Milano Cortina 2026 Ambassador Deborah Compagnoni joined the event in Courmayeur, testing the CHANGAN DEEPAL S05 AWD. Her career—defined by determination, control, and reliability—reflects Changan’s core values. “I felt that the principles of trajectory and speed in skiing apply to driving. With this model, you gain confidence on challenging terrain,” she said.

Snow-Validated Performance: The CHANGAN DEEPAL S05 AWD

Tested in Europe, the CHANGAN DEEPAL S05 AWD demonstrated controllable dynamics, reliable traction, and enhanced safety—highlighting its cutting-edge AWD and ADAS. The system adapts seamlessly: ECO/COMFORT modes prioritize RWD efficiency, while AWD will engage automatically when sensors detect slip, high torque demand, or extreme cold below -25°C. SPORT mode delivers permanent 50:50 torque for sharper response. SNOW mode maintains balanced torque with optimized slip control for confident driving on low-grip surfaces.

The intelligent AWD system delivers up to 320 kW power, 502 Nm torque, and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 5.5 seconds. It also improves hill climbing with a 40% gradient capability, ensures stability by actively balancing power to prevent skidding, and enables safer cornering at higher speeds through optimized grip and vehicle dynamics.
