ISCA Launches “Changing Perspectives” Branding Video Campaign to Promote Accountancy Profession Amidst Transformation in Wider Business Ecosystem
Produced together with branding agency ABrandADay, “Changing Perspectives” showcases the many roles that accountants can play in shaping the future of the business landscape. The objective of the video campaign is to promote accountancy as a profession and study of choice, and also dispel any prevailing myths of the accountancy profession. The branding video is also part of broader efforts by ISCA in partnership with the Accountancy Workforce Review Committee (AWRC) to address the manpower challenges of the accountancy sector and recommend strategies to ensure a robust pool of accountancy talents to meet industry needs.
In celebration of 60 years of Singapore’s independence, the video features notable figures from the accounting sector, who represent past and present generations of accountants who have contributed to the success of Singapore’s economy today. A few industry profiles who are featured in the video include Mr Willie Cheng, former Managing Partner of Accenture and former independent director of UOB Bank and Far East Hospitality Asset Management, and Mr Kon Yin Tong, Managing Partner of Foo Kon Tan LLP and Chairman of Sport Singapore.
The video was launched earlier today an exclusive screening event, by Mr Chaly Mah, Co-Chair of the AWRC, Chairman of the National Environmental Agency, Surbana Jurong and Netlink NBN Trust. The event was attended by over 160 guests, comprising representatives from the Government, Institutes of Higher Learning, corporates, students, and more.
“Accountancy is more than crunching numbers — it is a meaningful profession that shapes business strategy, drives sustainability, and builds trust in markets,” said Mr Chaly Mah. “This video is part of our broader efforts to reshape perceptions and highlight the diverse and impactful roles accountants play in today’s evolving business landscape. We hope it will inspire the next generation to see accountancy as a fulfilling and forward-looking career path.”
Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Finance and National Development, said: “As Singapore continues to grow as a global business hub, the accountancy profession remains a cornerstone of trust, transparency, and transformation. This initiative by ISCA not only highlights the evolving role of accountants, but also underscores the importance of attracting and developing talent for the future. I commend ISCA for its efforts to elevate the profession and promote it as a meaningful and dynamic career choice.”
ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck said: “The video we launched today is important — it highlights what it means to be an accountant in today’s world: adaptable, forward-thinking, and playing a key role in shaping businesses and society. At ISCA, we are dedicated to advancing the profession and demonstrating that accountancy offers purpose, versatility, and limitless growth opportunities. We hope this initiative inspires curiosity, especially among young professionals exploring their career paths.”

VinFast delivered 400 VF 3 to Indonesian dealers and customers within two months of launch
As the latest addition to VinFast’s diverse portfolio of all-electric vehicles in Indonesia, the VF 3 mini e-SUV is strategically positioned as a pivotal catalyst in the company’s drive towards a sustainable, green mobility transformation. Since its launch, the VF 3 has become a trend in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, thanks to its unique and robust design language, which not only inspires creativity but also empowers users to express their individuality and personal style with a sense of bold distinction.
To commemorate this impressive milestone, VinFast held a mass delivery event of 100 VF 3 vehicles at the Motomobi News Karnaval, which took place from April 19th to April 20th, 2025. Featuring some of the most modern and distinctive car models, the Motomobi News Karnaval garnered significant attention from the automotive community.
At the main area of the event, the original VF 3 model, alongside unique iterations crafted by customers themselves, became the focal point of attention. The presence of this “tiny titan” not only captivated a large number of visitors but also underscored its exceptional appeal, actively encouraging users to showcase their own distinct individuality.
During the event, the Motomobi News Karnaval organizers celebrated the most innovative customer-designed VF 3, igniting boundless inspiration within the automotive enthusiast community.
Customers receiving their vehicles praised the car’s distinctive design, standard features, and good performance within its price range, making it accessible to a broad segment of the population. These early adopters also benefited from a range of attractive incentives, including cash back programs and complimentary charging at VinFast charging stations operated by V-GREEN until March 1, 2028.
At this year’s Motomobi News Karnaval, Indonesian consumers could directly experience the VF 3, along with a range of engaging customer interaction programs and promotions.
Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, stated: “The fact that VF 3 vehicles are now on Indonesian roads just two months after its launch is a powerful testament to VinFast’s implementation capabilities, commitment, and determination to provide Indonesian consumers with green, intelligent, and affordable mobility solutions. The VF 3’s presence in Indonesia not only marks a significant step in VinFast’s journey to conquer the market but also inspires the creation of a sustainable future and ignites a spirit of innovation among Indonesia’s modern and dynamic youth.“
The VF 3 is designed to be well-balanced, fully meeting the urban mobility needs of consumers with a range of 215 km on a single full charge. Regarding the exterior, in addition to the four standard exterior colors: black, white, red, and gray, the VinFast VF 3 also offers four premium options: yellow with a white roof, green with a white roof, blue with a white roof, and pink with a white roof. Regarding the interior, the VinFast VF 3 features a large 10-inch touchscreen entertainment display, along with a gear selector behind the steering wheel similar to those found in luxury cars, providing a convenient and impressive experience for users.
With a price of IDR 230,130,000 (On-The-Road price in Jakarta), the VF 3 comes with an attractive warranty policy of up to 7 years or 160,000 km for the vehicle (whichever comes first) and 8 years unlimited mileage for the battery. VinFast is also offering an appealing promotion for the first 1,000 customers who purchase VinFast VF 3, with the opportunity to receive a cashback of up to IDR 37,850,000 and other valuable benefits.
With a commitment to rapidly deliver high-quality vehicles at inclusive prices, complemented by exceptional after-sales policy, VinFast is actively expanding its dealership and service center network across Indonesia. Customers can explore, experience, and purchase VinFast cars at 21 authorized dealerships, and 11 partner stores operated by Amarta, which are expected to commence operations in 2025. VinFast aims to establish 500 authorized service workshops throughout Indonesia this year.
VinFast is also building a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem through collaborations with strategic partners such as the all-electric taxi company GSM and the global charging station development company V-GREEN. VinFast car owners can currently charge for free at charging stations operated by V-GREEN. The company aims to develop 30,000 VinFast charging ports in Indonesia by the end of 2025, thereby enhancing the consumer experience and driving the green transportation revolution.
