The Chelsea Clinic Expands into New Flagship at Ngee Ann City
Part of SBC Medical Group, the clinic enhances patient experience and reinforces Singapore’s role as an aesthetic medicine hub
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 November 2025 – The Chelsea Clinic, a flagship brand of Aesthetic Healthcare Holdings (“AHH”) and part of SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical”), has relocated to a significantly larger, purpose-built flagship facility at Ngee Ann City, one of Singapore’s most prestigious landmarks. The expansion underscores SBC Medical’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Asia while delivering a more seamless and elevated patient journey. The opening ceremony was graced by the presence of Mr. Toru Hotta, Deputy Chief of Mission, the Embassy of Japan in Singapore, who shared congratulatory remarks and joined the ribbon-cutting ceremony, adding a warm and memorable touch to the event.
Founded in 1999 by Dr. Ewen Chee, The Chelsea Clinic has been a pioneer of aesthetic medicine in Singapore, introducing medically supervised aesthetic procedures for skin health and rejuvenation. Over the past two decades, the clinic has built a reputation as a trusted destination for both Singapore’s local community and the sizeable Japanese expatriate population, as well as international patients seeking evidence-based care.
The new flagship brings together the medical clinic, spa, and corporate headquarters under one roof, offering a much larger and more integrated environment. With 16 rooms in total, including 12 clinic rooms and 4 spa rooms, it stands among Singapore’s more expansive medical aesthetic clinics, thoughtfully designed to support privacy, comfort, and efficient patient care. Treatment rooms are named after Japanese cities, symbolizing the clinic’s parentage under SBC Medical and its cross-cultural connection with Japan. In addition to increased space, the relocation enhances operational integration and patient services. Dedicated consultation rooms for each doctor and expanded waiting lounges create a more personalized and welcoming environment. Japanese-language support has also been strengthened, with multiple reservation channels including LINE (for Japanese speakers), WhatsApp, phone, and the clinic’s bilingual website. A Japanese-speaking staff member is available to assist patients directly, ensuring clear communication and a seamless booking process.
Commenting on the relocation, Dr. Ewen Chee, Founder and Medical Director of The Chelsea Clinic and Lead Doctor for Asia Strategy at SBC Medical, said.
“Our relocation to Ngee Ann City reflects our commitment to providing a more elevated and seamless patient journey. By bringing our clinic, spa, and headquarters together in a larger, contemporary space, we can serve our long-standing patients and Singapore’s Japanese community with even greater comfort, privacy and efficiency.”

Siam Piwat redefines global retail with NEXTOPIA, a future prototype where sustainability is a transformative force for business, people, and the planet
Chief Executive Officer Chadatip Chutrakul introduced the project during The Economist’s 5th annual Sustainability Week Asia, recently held in Bangkok, positioning NEXTOPIA as more than a response to necessity but as a genuine driver of business leadership and vision.
The vision for the future of retail is built on three interconnected pillars: co-creation with founders and partners, collaboration with tenants and communities, and customers. Together, they redefine retail as a platform shaped by shared purpose, creativity, and participation. This extends to redefining customer relationships through trust, inspiring customers to visit more often, spend more time, and deepen engagement within our ecosystem.
“Sustainability is no longer optional,” Chutrakul said. “We must accelerate and make a bold move. Real, lasting impact is never created alone. It requires co-creation across industries, united by purpose, in a place that captures the world’s attention and inspires change for the greater good.”
Launched in November 2025, the 15,000-square-meter attraction at Siam Paragon, a global landmark that draws more than 200,000 visitors daily, including a significant share of international tourists aims to move sustainability “beyond awareness into joyful and engaging experiences in everyday life,” she added.
Developed with more than 50 partners, NEXTOPIA operates under the theme “Co-creating Communities for a Better World.” It features infrastructure contributions from companies including B.Grimm, SCG, Indorama and Kasikornbank, incorporating solar energy, sustainable materials, advanced water systems, and cooling and clean air technologies.
The project has achieved zero waste to landfill, cut energy consumption by 47%, reduced water use by 34% and lowered carbon emissions from construction materials by 59%. Within a year, water savings are projected to be equivalent to the volume of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Over two years, decarbonization efforts will deliver the environmental benefit of creating a vast urban park.
NEXTOPIA is Thailand’s first multi-tenant retail building to earn EDGE Advanced certification for resource efficiency and a two-star Fitwel rating. It also received the Best in Building Health Award 2026 from Fitwel, achieving top scores for its design and quality-of-life features.
Tenants must adhere to some 50 sustainability criteria covering waste management and value chain practices, with many exceeding standard industry benchmarks. Siam Piwat developed the framework over three years to help partners adopt sustainable practices quickly while cutting costs and unlocking new value.
Interactive elements at NEXTOPIA invite visitors to participate directly, with kinetic floors and bicycles that generate electricity for redeemable rewards, alongside exhibits featuring Thailand’s largest collection of recycled art, created by artists from waste collected nationwide. ECOTOPIA, the country’s biggest eco-store, stocks more than 110,000 sustainable products, many recycled or upcycled, sourced from around 300 Thai communities and small businesses.
The project has also brought together more than 30 local communities and global organizations, including the United Nations, World Food Programme, UNDP Biofin and WWF, to exchange knowledge and ideas.
More than a shopping destination, NEXTOPIA functions as a living laboratory for experimenting and exchanging ideas that retail and real estate developers worldwide could adapt. It marks a strategic evolution for Siam Piwat, transforming the company from a premier retail developer into what it describes as “a global sustainability platform” that links businesses, people and innovation.
This shift aligns with intensifying global pressure on companies to meet their sustainability commitments under the Paris Agreement, as brands and consumers increasingly demand verifiable environmental action.
With NEXTOPIA, Siam Piwat is betting that the future of retail lies not just in selling goods, but in creating spaces where sustainability feels tangible, measurable and above all inspiring.
Setting a new benchmark for co-created, revolutionary retail, NEXTOPIA offers a scalable model that delivers both business value and meaningful impact – one that can be adopted globally.

DTAP Expands Access to Sexual Health Services with Two New Clinics in Holland Village and Clarke Quay
As healthcare-seeking behaviours continue to evolve, there has been a noticeable shift towards earlier and more proactive screening, especially for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV. Increasing public awareness of the importance of timely testing and treatment has driven demand for accessible, confidential care delivered in a professional clinical setting. The expansion into Holland Village and Clarke Quay reflects this shift, with both clinics designed to offer a comfortable and private environment that supports individuals in seeking care with confidence.
DTAP operates as a GP+ medical centre, bridging the gap between general practice and specialist care. Fully accredited for HIV and STD testing and treatment, its clinical protocols adhere to Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines, covering the full continuum from screening and early detection through to treatment and long-term management. Beyond sexual health, DTAP also supports men’s and women’s health, weight management and mental health.
Clinics are staffed by experienced doctors — both male and female — who take a friendly, open and non-discriminatory approach, ensuring patients can seek care with confidence and discretion.
“This expansion builds on DTAP’s longstanding commitment to accessible and confidential care, with over 20 years of experience since 2005. We are seeing a clear shift towards more proactive health-seeking behaviour, particularly in sexual health, with more patients coming forward earlier for screening and testing, including for conditions that were previously under-discussed. This highlights the importance of timely detection and access to care, supported by a discreet, comfortable environment with experienced doctors who provide care in a respectful, open and non-discriminatory manner,” said Dr. Alan Tan, Chairman of DTAP Clinics.
DTAP Clinic @ Holland Village and DTAP Clinic @ Clarke Quay are now open to patients. For more information on services, visit https://dtapclinic.com/.

TP’s AI-powered debt collection solution recovers up to 40% debt, improves efficiency and saves costs
Collections are emerging as a critical lever for both financial performance and customer retention. Regional institutions including the Asian Development Bank have identified digital transformation of financial services and credit infrastructure as a strategic priority across Asia, while rising consumer delinquencies are increasing pressure on banks to modernise servicing and collections operations.
However, debt collection remains one of banking’s most complex challenges, as lenders struggle to improve recovery rates without damaging customer relationships. AI-driven, human-supported debt collection models are emerging as a potential way forward to help lenders tackle rising credit risk and changing borrower behaviour. TP.ai FAB Collect is designed by training AI on decades of human collections expertise and deploying it where volume demands scale, so human advisors can focus on preserving customer relationships.
From Recovery to Relationship Management
TP.ai FAB Collect empowers lenders to operationalise more predictive, customer-centric engagement at scale, moving beyond traditional recovery models without adding friction to the customer experience. Built on TP’s proprietary TP.ai FAB (Foundational AI Backbone) framework, the solution integrates advanced analytics, AI-driven decisioning, and omnichannel engagement to improve recovery outcomes while maintaining compliance and customer trust.
“We trained our AI on 40 years of human collections expertise. Now it handles the first wave, so our human advisors can focus on the conversations that truly matter. TP.ai FAB Collect has produced results across debt recovery, promise-to-pay and overall customer satisfaction.” explains Assaf Tarnopolsky, TP’s Chief Business Development & Customer Officer, APAC.
When deployed by a leading financial institution, TP.ai FAB Collect’s AI agents achieved a customer satisfaction (CSAT) score that was slightly higher than human agents while also achieving a 40% debt recovery rate. At a leading telecommunications company, AI agents adapted outreach to customers based on local payment behaviour, achieving a 7%-point improvement in the pay-to-contact ratio compared to the human-only model. The solution also improved recovery performance over time while reducing collections costs by 40% compared to a human-only model.
TP.ai FAB Collect was recognised with a 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award by the Business Intelligence Group and was named Technology of the Year by the Excellence in Customer Service awards.
