Galaxy Macau Launches the ‘Adventures in the Cavern’ Guest Mixologist Series, Featuring World-Class Mixologists Monthly at Long Bar at Raffles
The world’s first speakeasy rendition of the Raffles Long Bar at Galaxy Macau is the ideal setting for this one-of-a-kind series. Accessed through a secret door, this intimate venue is a haven for cocktail connoisseurs and bon vivant, featuring a unique design inspired by the coastal caves of Macau where the gin was distilled and stored, as well as the voyages of the legendary Portuguese merchant ship Madre de Deus, courtesy of renowned interior designer Joyce Wang. It has been honored with the “Best Hotel Bar Design” award at the 2024 VOGUE Living Design Awards and has also been featured in the “Tastemakers 2024 list” by Travel + Leisure as one of the Best Bars in Macau.
‘Adventures in the Cavern’ aims to elevate the Long Bar sensory experience to dizzying new heights. World-renowned guest mixologists, including award-winning bartenders from the “World’s 50 Best Bars” and “Asia’s 50 Best Bars,” will be invited to collaborate in creating an exclusive and enchanting cocktail journey. This initiative seeks to transcend sensory boundaries, delight guests’ taste buds, and leave them with unforgettable memories.
The inaugural event in the series will see two of Hong Kong’s most esteemed mixologists, Antonio Lai and Samuel Kwok, making the short journey to Macau to serve up a selection of unmistakable signature creations born from their contrasting mixology styles.
Widely regarded as one of the leading lights of Asia’s bar industry, Antonio is best known as the creative force behind Quinary, the trailblazing Hong Kong cocktail bar that made the World’s 50 Best Bars list for five consecutive years between 2013 and 2017, and again in 2021. It has been a fixture on the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list since 2016 and has won the Heering Legend of the List Award as the venue that has performed most consistently in the history of Asia’s 50 Best Bars. The multi-award-winning Antonio is also famed for pioneering the Multisensory Mixology concept, a drinking experience that engages all five senses, and is co-owner of The Opposites, and Draft Land HK, and beverage director of the one-Michelin-starred VEA Restaurant as well as Medora.
Co-owner of The Opposites, Samuel Kwok is not only one of Antonio’s closest collaborators, but also a formidable mixology talent in his own right. Previously the bar manager of Quinary, he has also won numerous accolades, including being named the Diageo World Class Hong Kong Hong Kong & Macau Champion. With their creative spark, artistic flair, and contrasting styles, witness two great creative minds who may think like opposites, but are united in guiding cocktail culture into uncharted territory through their creative crafting drinks.
The following two instalments of the ‘Adventures in the Cavern’ series take place on February 21 and March 28, when Long Bar will welcome more movers and shakers from the world of mixology. Behind the bar on February 21 will be Lorenzo Antinori of Hong Kong’s fêted Bar Leone, which is currently ranked No.2 in the World’s 50 Best Bars and No.1 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars, and Demie Kim and Noah Kwon from Seoul hotspot Zest, which is No.9 in the World’s 50 Best Bars and No.2 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars. On March 28, meanwhile, Long Bar will play host to Dicky Hartono of Bangkok’s Firefly and Amanda Wan and Jo Wong from Kuala Lumpur’s Three X Co.
More guest mixologists will be revealed soon in the ‘Adventures in the Cavern’ series, bringing together master bartenders from around the world. With their exceptional skills and creativity, they will create a unique tasting journey that transcends sensory boundaries and delights guests’ taste buds.

Sincere Healthcare Group and Landmark Medical Centre Unite to Strengthen Cross-Border Patient Care Between Singapore and Johor Bahru
Integration improves access and continuity of specialist care across Singapore–Malaysia border
SINGAPORE –
For patients, this integration translates into a more coordinated and reassuring healthcare experience — particularly for those who travel between Singapore and Johor Bahru for consultations, treatment, follow-up care or second opinions. It reflects a broader regional focus on enabling care closer to home while maintaining high clinical standards and specialist access.
Shared Medical Heritage, Aligned with Patient-Centred Care
Both Sincere and Landmark were founded by clinicians who believe that good medicine begins with ethics, compassion and respect for patients. Landmark’s clinical foundation was established by Dr Robert Luk Tai Kong and continues under the leadership of Dr Lucas Luk, Managing & Medical Director, who has guided the centre’s steady growth while preserving its patient-first ethos.
Sincere Healthcare Group was founded by Prof Ng Soon Chye, a pioneer in fertility medicine whose contributions helped shape Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) in the region. Today, Sincere has grown into a multi-centre healthcare group providing obstetrics and gynaecology, women’s and men’s health, fertility care, minimally invasive and robotic gynaecological surgery, and colorectal services.
“Landmark has always focused on specialised care delivered with personal attention and clinical integrity,” said Dr Lucas Luk. “Integrating with Sincere allows us to expand our specialist support while preserving what patients value most — trust, familiarity and continuity of care.”
Supporting Seamless Cross-Border Care
Cross-border healthcare has become increasingly relevant as patients seek timely access, specialist expertise and flexible care options. This integration strengthens a clear, coordinated care pathway between Singapore and Johor Bahru, aligning with broader healthcare strategies that encourage collaboration, efficiency and patient mobility across the region.
Landmark’s central location in Johor Bahru near the Woodlands entry point, combined with Sincere’s presence near Tuas, allows patients to move more easily between care settings. Services in obstetrics and gynaecology, fertility treatment, and women’s and men’s health are now better connected across the two networks.
“Our focus has always been on how patients experience care,” said Ms Koh Lee Lee, Group Chief Executive Officer of Sincere Healthcare Group. “This integration supports a more holistic and connected approach, allowing patients to receive appropriate care at the right place and time, across Singapore and Malaysia.”
Expanding Care While Preserving Trust
Importantly, Landmark Medical Centre will continue operating under its established name, care teams and clinical philosophy. Patients can expect the same familiar doctors and environment, now supported by a broader specialist network, shared clinical standards and enhanced collaboration within the Sincere group.
“Medicine should always be guided by what is right for patients,” said Prof Ng Soon Chye, Medical Chairman of Sincere Healthcare Group. “By working together, we can strengthen care pathways, share expertise and support better outcomes for the people who trust us with their health.”
Looking Ahead
The integration represents a meaningful step in building sustainable, patient-centred healthcare capacity across the Singapore–Malaysia corridor. Continued investment in medical programmes, technology and specialist collaboration will support long-term care needs while complementing national healthcare priorities focused on quality, access and continuity.
For patients, the message remains simple: more access, more expertise and the same commitment to compassionate, ethical care — now delivered through a more connected cross-border healthcare network.Hashtag: #sincerehealthcaregroup #landmarkmedicalcentre #crossborderhealthcare #womenshealth #menshealth #obgyn #gynaecology #singaporehealthcare #johorbahruhealthcare #SGhealthcare #JBhealthcare #SingaporeMalaysia #integratedcare #specialistcare #continuityofcare

Dhanarak Asset Development Unveils Thailand’s First Green Government City at Government Complex Bangkok
Under the leadership of Dr. Nalikatibhag Sangsnit, President of DAD, the multi-year redevelopment program reimagines state-owned land, one that treats public land not as a bureaucratic perimeter, but as shared civic infrastructure that prioritizes people, health, and nature.
“For decades, government districts in Thailand were designed to manage paperwork, not people,” Nalikatibhag said. “We wanted to reverse that logic. A city, especially a city owned by the state, must first work for human life: how people walk, how they rest, how they breathe, and how they coexist with nature in their daily routines.”
From Bureaucratic Grey to Green Living
The centrepiece of the initiative is the newly opened 5.1-rai landscaped connector between Buildings B and C, a site that once functioned primarily as a traffic corridor and noise buffer. The area has been transformed into a pedestrian-friendly green passage linking offices, transit access points and communal spaces within the Government Complex.
Designed as urban infrastructure, a climate buffer reduces heat, improves water absorption and supports daily movement across the site. It also opens previously restricted government land to wider public use, blurring the boundary between administrative space and the city around it.
The project aligns with Thailand’s broader sustainability frameworks, including environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles and the government’s bio-circular-green (BCG) economic model. Design features focus on expanding tree canopy, increasing permeable surfaces and creating flexible areas that can support exercise, informal gatherings and community activity.
A Scalable Blueprint for State-Led Urban Transformation
Over the past six years, DAD has increased green spaces within the Government Complex by more than 47 rai, and when combined with adjacent landscaped zones, the total reaches over 138 rai, creating one of northern Bangkok’s largest continuous public green areas.
Nalikatibhag describes the City of Green Lifestyles concept not as a one-off redevelopment, but as a template for future public-sector land use, particularly in rapidly urbanising Asian cities where governments remain among the largest landowners.
“This is about proving that sustainability is not an added cost or a branding exercise,” he said. “When green infrastructure is designed as part of the system, when it improves health, reduces stress, lowers energy demand and invites public use, it becomes economically rational and socially inevitable. The role of the state is not only to regulate cities, but to set an example of how cities should be lived in.”
Global Recognition for Innovation
DAD’s sustainability efforts have earned international acclaim. In 2025, the company became the only public-sector organisation to win the Asia-level International Innovation Awards for two consecutive years, recognising its Government Complex Smart City initiative and the GCC Super Application, a digital platform integrating transport, navigation, and public services within the complex.
The awards, selected from more than 160 entries across 30 countries, underscore Thailand’s growing leadership in sustainable and technology-driven public sector transformation.
Redefining the Role of the State in City-Making
Unlike large-scale urban megaprojects, the Government Complex Bangkok initiative relies on system-based, incremental transformation, repurposing existing assets instead of acquiring new land. Urban policy analysts note that this approach provides a scalable blueprint for other governments managing extensive real estate portfolios.
“A government city should not feel separate from everyday life,” Dr. Nalikatibhag said. “If public space eases the intensity of daily life, improves health and restores a sense of balance between people and nature, then governance itself becomes more humane.”
