NHG Health And Tanoto Foundation Jointly Launch “I Can’t Believe It Tastes So Good” Healthy Cookbook
Empowering residents and patients with details on calorie count and macronutrients for every dish
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 September 2025 – Today, NHG Health and Tanoto Foundation jointly launched a cookbook titled, ‘I Can’t Believe It Tastes So Good’ – featuring 100 healthy recipes inspired by Chinese, Malay, Indian, Western and other cuisines, a nod to Singapore’s rich cultural diversity as the nation celebrates SG60. In conjunction with the cookbook launch, NHG Polyclinics, the primary care arm of NHG Health, organised a cooking demonstration, which brought together residents and patients to learn about healthier cooking tips from dietitians and patient advocates, as well as healthy lifestyle habits.
2 The event was graced by Mr Ong Ye Kung, Minister for Health, Coordinating Minister for Social Policies, and Adviser to Sembawang Group Representation Constituency Grassroots Organisations (Sembawang Central). It was held at the NHG Sembawang Polyclinic Health and Wellness Studio located within Bukit Canberra, an integrated sports and community hub.
3 Launching the ‘I Can’t Believe It Tastes So Good’ cookbook, Minister Ong Ye Kung, said, “Healthy eating is one of the best forms of preventive care. When residents and patients make better food choices together, we not only improve personal well-being but also form friendships and strengthen community bonding. I hope this cookbook can play a positive part in this process.”
4 ‘I Can’t Believe It Tastes So Good’ cookbook is jointly funded by NHG Health Fund and Tanoto Foundation under the NHG Health Diabetes Reversal Programme. Its recipes are specially curated by clinicians and dietitians from NHG Polyclinics and nutritionists from Temasek Polytechnic, based on feedback from patients and community volunteers who participated in tasting sessions or tried these recipes at home. The cookbook offers practical easy-to-follow meals for every occasion and for everyone, especially those managing diabetes and other chronic conditions.
5 “This collaborative cookbook shows how primary care professionals, patients and the community can come together to promote healthy living and build a healthier Singapore. Designed and curated as a key resource for residents and patient empowerment, the cookbook is more than just a collection of healthy recipes; it serves as a bridge connecting families through the shared joy of cooking and creating memories together,” said Associate Professor Karen Ng, Chief of Primary Care, Population Health, NHG Health, and Chief Executive Officer, NHG Polyclinics.
6 “Diabetes is one of the biggest health challenges in Singapore today,” said Belinda Tanoto, Member of the Board of Trustees, Tanoto Foundation. “We’re excited to launch this cookbook with NHG Health to show that healthy food can be simple, tasty, and easy to prepare. With small changes, we hope more Singaporeans can enjoy healthier meals and build lasting habits.”
7 “Diabetes remains a major health challenge for Singapore. The goal of NHG Health is to not only bring the disease under control and to prevent its complications, but to empower individuals to better manage their health. This cookbook is an example of how we bring real-world solutions directly into homes and kitchens, and our commitment to adding years of healthy life for our population,” said Professor Benjamin Seet, Group Chairman Medical Board (Research), NHG Health.
8 Serving as a resource, the ‘I Can’t Believe It Tastes So Good’ cookbook provides useful details of key nutrients for every dish. Each recipe has been thoughtfully planned to include ample protein, vitamins and fibre (e.g. colourful vegetables), and lower saturated fat, sugar and sodium content to suit different levels of calorie intake required at every stage of life, including those managing chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, while preserving the flavours of the dishes. The recipes also use simple, fresh ingredients paired with herbs and spices to create meals that are both nutritious and full of flavours, a key highlight of the cookbook.
9 With its launch, NHG Polyclinics’ family physicians, dietitians and nurses will use the cookbook to guide patients to specific recipes to reinforce the importance of healthy eating as part of their patient’s health and treatment plan. Patients will be taught how to plan their meals by mixing and matching the recipes to suit their nutritional needs for better health goals. For instance, the elderly will be guided on choosing recipes that are higher in protein and rich in fibre, and lesser in saturated and trans-fat and sodium to support muscle health, digestion and overall vitality while those with weight concerns will be guided to select the low-calorie recipes. The recipes will also be used at cooking workshops conducted by the Patient Advisory Council members and patient volunteers at the Health Studios located at NHG Polyclinics. It is available to members of the public at https://for.sg/2025-healthy-cookbook to inspire more people to share healthier home-cooked meals with family and friends.
10 “As a dietitian, I often see patients who struggle to eat a balanced meal. One of the reasons is not knowing how to choose healthier ingredients and their limited understanding of food nutrients that the body requires. With this cookbook, it makes it easy for those with dietary restrictions to plan their daily meals. We hope the cookbook can create a rippling effect, inspiring more people to cook their own meals and eat healthier,” said Pauline Xie, Principal Dietitian and Assistant Director of Clinical Services, NHG Polyclinics.

Launched market-first Door-to-Door Luggage Repair Service for Travel Insurance customers
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 July 2026 – MSIG Insurance (Hong Kong) Limited (“MSIG”) today published its 2025 Claims Report, highlighting a fifth consecutive annual rise in its claims settlement ratio since 2020, strong performance across key classes, and new customer-focused travel innovations.
In 2025, MSIG honoured HK$359 million in claims in Hong Kong and Macau and achieved a 94.7% claims settlement ratio, up from 91.1% in 2020, reflecting the insurer’s sustained commitment to extraordinary claims service and role as a trusted partner. Employees’ Compensation Hong Kong recorded a 99.87% settlement ratio, followed closely by Helper (97.57%) and Travel (96.27%).
This year’s report shows significant progress in its customer-first approach – with an over 11% year-on-year increase in compliments received from customers, as well as 100% of the insurer’s 2025 Google reviews being 5-star rated.
Philip Kent, Chief Executive Officer of MSIG Hong Kong, said: “In a year of rapid change, our teams have stayed close to our customers and continued to put forward products and services that have truly helped when it mattered most. That’s what a customer-first mindset is all about and the results are clear from this year’s claims report. From innovative travel protection to extraordinary claims servicing, we continue to invest in bringing unique-to-market product features to our customers as their trusted partner, and are fully committed to further enhancing our service experience to deliver the assurance they need at every stage of their life journey.”
MSIG’s innovations in Travel Insurance also earned notable industry recognition in 2025 and 2026, reinforcing the strength of the offerings and the value they are delivering to customers:

- Top 3 Finalists in “Most Innovative Product/Service Award (General Insurance)” at the Hong Kong Insurance Awards 2025
New Travel Insurance services

The market-first Door-to-Door Luggage Repair Service completed 135 luggage repair requests from April to December 2025, equal to 16% of all luggage damage claims, while Overseas Medical Teleconsultation simplifies access to care while travelling abroad. These new services reflect innovation in an area where customers value convenience, speed and reassurance.
MSIG built on that momentum in October 2025 with upgraded Travel Insurance products that added new benefits, including Cancellation of Journey for Any Reason. The enhancement gives travellers greater flexibility and strengthens MSIG’s position in a critical category where expectations are rising around responsive, real-world protection.
Beyond travel, the report highlights a wide range of cases of MSIG’s broader focus on customer-centred claims service across personal and commercial lines – demonstrating a commitment not only to efficient claims handling, but also to helping customers navigate disruption and move forward.

Nota Sign Integrates with Hong Kong’s iAM Smart, Enabling One-Stop Account Opening, Employee Onboarding and Contract Signing for Businesses and Residents
As Hong Kong continues to advance its digital government infrastructure, iAM Smart has become an important gateway connecting public services with digital commercial services. By the first quarter of 2026, the iAM Smart mobile application had recorded more than 10 million cumulative downloads and connected users to over 1,400 online services and electronic forms provided by government departments, public organisations and private institutions.
Through its integration with this digital identity ecosystem, Nota Sign has further strengthened its local digital signing capabilities in Hong Kong.
Designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions, Nota Sign complies with major international regulatory frameworks, including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.
The platform has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. It supports local digital identity systems in markets including Hong Kong and Singapore and operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements, fulfilling its commitment to “Sign with Global Trust.”
Through its deep integration with iAM Smart, Nota Sign enables both corporate and individual users to complete trusted identity verification and legally valid digital signatures using their iAM Smart accounts.
The integration connects Nota Sign directly with Hong Kong’s official digital identity infrastructure and further embeds the platform into the city’s digital government ecosystem. It provides government organisations, businesses and individuals in the Greater Bay Area, particularly those in Hong Kong, with a safer, more efficient and standardised one-stop digital signing solution.
Developed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, iAM Smart is a one-stop digital identity authentication platform. Its compliant digital signing framework is established in accordance with Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance.
The platform serves as a key gateway through which Hong Kong residents and businesses access digital government and commercial services. It provides trusted identity verification, encrypted security and fully traceable records and is widely used across public service applications, commercial transactions and identity verification scenarios.
The integration brings together the core capabilities of iAM Smart and Nota Sign. Hong Kong users can authorise access to Nota Sign with one click using their iAM Smart accounts, eliminating repeated registration and data entry and significantly simplifying identity verification during cross-border signing processes.
Users can also verify their identities through iAM Smart and use Nota Sign to sign contracts, commercial documents and official records online. Data is encrypted throughout the process, all actions are recorded and signing activities remain fully traceable, helping ensure that the resulting signatures meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
For users, the integration between Nota Sign and iAM Smart creates a more convenient and trusted digital signing experience for both businesses and individuals.
Whether handling local transactions in Hong Kong, collaborating across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area or conducting cross-border commercial activities, users can reduce repeated identity checks, paper document circulation and in-person procedures, improving both operational efficiency and the overall digital service experience.
Nota Sign supports a wide range of high-frequency signing scenarios, including business operations, financial services, human resources, commercial collaboration and personal affairs. Typical applications include the following:
Nota Sign can be used for local Hong Kong business activities and cross-border collaboration across the Greater Bay Area, including supply chain coordination, procurement transactions and service partnerships.
Businesses can initiate cooperation agreements, procurement contracts, service agreements, supply chain reconciliation confirmations and other commercial documents through Nota Sign.
Signatories can then use iAM Smart to complete identity authentication and digital signing, improving business collaboration efficiency and delivering a smoother signing experience.
For cross-regional employment, businesses can initiate online signing processes for offer letters, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, non-compete agreements and overseas or cross-border assignment documents.
Employees can authenticate their identities and sign digitally through iAM Smart, allowing onboarding documentation to be completed entirely online. This reduces the costs associated with manual identity verification and paper document circulation while improving the efficiency of human resources management.
Nota Sign can support digital processes involving account opening, insurance applications, wealth management and corporate services.
Businesses can embed iAM Smart’s identity authentication capabilities into Nota Sign signing workflows. Once customers have completed identity verification, they can immediately sign account-opening agreements, authorisation documents, service agreements and other materials.
This reduces repeated authentication and duplicate data entry, providing customers with a smoother and more efficient online service experience.
Hong Kong residents can use iAM Smart to verify their identities and sign digitally when entering into tenancy agreements, granting personal authorisations or handling cross-border mandates.
Users no longer need to repeatedly enter their identity details or attend multiple in-person verification appointments. This improves the efficiency of a wide range of digital processes and makes signing more convenient and intuitive.
Huang Xiang, Founder and CEO of Fadada, said that the integration with iAM Smart represents an important strategic step in Nota Sign’s continued development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It also strengthens the platform’s local compliance service ecosystem and regional service capabilities.
Nota Sign previously established a partnership with Digi-Sign, the first commercial recognised certification authority under Hong Kong’s Tradelink.
Overseas users who do not have an iAM Smart account can use Tradelink iD-One, together with passport-based electronic Know Your Customer verification, to complete identity verification and apply for a digital certificate.
Following the integration with iAM Smart, Hong Kong residents can now complete identity authentication and digital signing directly through their iAM Smart accounts.
These two identity verification channels serve different user groups and further strengthen Nota Sign’s identity authentication network in Hong Kong.
Looking ahead, Nota Sign will continue to leverage its mature cross-border signing technology and compliance framework to provide reliable digital signing infrastructure for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, Hong Kong and Macao businesses entering the Chinese mainland, and cross-border industrial collaboration across the Greater Bay Area.
Through these capabilities, Nota Sign aims to establish a leading cross-border electronic signing platform rooted in the Greater Bay Area and serving organisations worldwide.
Nota Sign is Fadada’s global electronic signature platform. It is designed to support electronic signature and data privacy requirements in more than 100 countries and regions and complies with regulatory frameworks including the EU eIDAS Regulation, the US ESIGN Act, Hong Kong’s Electronic Transactions Ordinance and the GDPR.
The platform integrates with dozens of recognised overseas certification authorities and provides electronic signature solutions at multiple assurance levels.
Nota Sign has completed ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications, as well as a SOC 2 Type I audit. It operates data centres in key regions worldwide to meet data localisation requirements and supports localised signing services such as Singapore’s Singpass.
The platform has also introduced a GxP-compliant electronic signature solution designed to meet international regulatory requirements, including FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11.
Powered by a legal-specific large language model, Nota Sign provides artificial intelligence capabilities such as intelligent contract review and multilingual document comparison.
It also supports integration with mainstream enterprise systems, including Salesforce and SAP, significantly shortening cross-border signing cycles and helping businesses “Sign with Global Trust.”
