HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility, has been named to Tatler Gen.T’s Hong Kong Leaders of Tomorrow 2026, in recognition of her contributions to advancing women’s health, fertility care, and reproductive healthcare across Hong Kong and the broader Asian region.
The award highlights Chan’s commitment to closing the support gap for individuals navigating their fertility, maternity and family-building journeys — journeys that, for too many, are still undertaken without guidance, coordination or workplace understanding.
Originally launched in 2016, Gen.T stands for “Generation Tomorrow”. This year the list celebrates its landmark tenth anniversary, marking a decade of spotlighting the founders, creatives, innovators and changemakers shaping Asia’s future.
Closing the Support Gap
Across Asia, individuals navigating fertility and family-building decisions are often left to face fragmented care systems, opaque costs and deeply personal choices largely on their own — compounded by stigma and silence around these topics. Sow Fertility was built to close that gap: not simply to inform, but to stand alongside members through every stage of the journey. “When I started Sow Fertility, it came from a simple but deeply personal belief: fertility and reproductive health should not feel confusing, isolating, or impossible to navigate alone,” said Dawn Chan, Founder and CEO of Sow Fertility.
That belief is embodied in Sow’s Care Companions — dedicated support specialists who guide members one-on-one from early exploration and fertility assessments through treatment, pregnancy and postnatal care. The result is a model where no one has to piece together their own path: the guidance, coordination and emotional support are part of the journey itself.
Destigmatising Fertility and Family Building
Chan’s leadership has also focused on normalising conversations around diverse pathways to parenthood. In many parts of Asia, deeply rooted cultural norms continue to shape perceptions of fertility and family building, often limiting open dialogue — and leaving those on these journeys without the support of their communities and workplaces. Through her advocacy, Chan has worked to create space for more inclusive and transparent conversations — where options such as fertility preservation, assisted reproductive technologies, and non-traditional family structures are understood, respected and supported.
Bringing Support Into the Workplace
For most working adults, the greatest gaps in support appear where they spend most of their time: at work. Working alongside employers, insurers and industry bodies, Sow Fertility partners with organisations to build fertility- and family-building-friendly workplaces — spanning fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and, increasingly, perimenopause and menopause support — so that employees no longer have to navigate treatment cycles, appointments and recovery invisibly and alone.
Chan has also been a vocal advocate for improved reproductive health policies in Hong Kong and across Asia, including expanded access to fertility treatments, greater affordability, and more comprehensive support systems. This recognition underscores the importance of aligning workplace benefits and public policy with the realities of modern family building, where timelines, choices, and pathways are increasingly diverse.
A Growing Movement for Reproductive Equity
Dawn Chan’s recognition as a Leader of Tomorrow reflects not only her individual impact, but also a broader shift toward prioritising women’s health and reproductive rights in the region. Sow Fertility remains committed to building a future where no one navigates their reproductive health journey alone — and where support is accessible, stigma-free, and built into the systems people rely on every day.

For years, anti-steering restrictions limited publishers’ ability to direct players from inside their games to external purchasing options. Legal and regulatory changes in the United States and Japan have opened that channel, giving publishers more control over where transactions happen, what value players receive and how recovered margin is reinvested.
The opportunity is significant. Publishers can use the improved economics of out-of-app payments to offer better prices, bonus currency, exclusive items or loyalty rewards, while investing more in content, acquisition and retention.
However, designing the journey from the app to the web requires precision. The right audience, offer and checkout experience determine whether a linkout converts and creates incremental value.
Drawing on Coda’s experience supporting more than 300 publishers, including gaming giants like Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts, the white paper sets out a practical framework built around these core questions:
Who should see the linkout?
When should they see the linkout?
What should they be offered?
How should the choice be presented?
“Publishers can now take greater control of the purchase journey and decide how recovered margin is put back to work,” said Zac Liew, Chief Commercial Officer at Coda.
“The real opportunity is not simply moving a payment outside the app. It is using linkouts to create better player value, improve conversion and grow the economics of a game.”
The paper recommends starting with engaged players, repeat buyers and higher-value spenders, while ensuring every linkout offer provides a clear advantage over its in-app equivalent.
It also highlights the infrastructure required behind the link, including payment routing, local payment methods, tax, fraud, compliance and reconciliation.
Coda Links gives publishers the infrastructure to put that strategy into action. It intelligently routes players from the app to the most relevant payment experience, while Coda manages the payments, tax, fraud and compliance required to operate at scale.
Linkouts are already delivering significant results:
In one Coda Links deployment for a major US publisher, intelligent routing increased webstore revenue by 17% and first-time purchase rates by 78%.
In another Coda Links deployment, providing players with direct webstore access increased transactions by 25%.
For publishers, the priority now is to apply the right strategy at scale and capture more value from every player transaction.
Coda is a global leader in monetization, distribution, and commerce, trusted by the biggest names in gaming, entertainment, and technology, including Activision, Electronic Arts, Riot Games, Ubisoft, and Moonton. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Singapore, Coda operates with 600+ employees worldwide, with core hubs in Asia and Europe. Coda combines payments, commerce, distribution, and rewards to drive global revenue growth for brands and publishers.

SHANGHAI, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced a major enhancement to its Agent Development Platform (ADP) International Edition, evolving it into a comprehensive, enterprise-grade AgentOps platform designed to help enterprises move AI agents from experimentation into production at scale. The enhancement was unveiled at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai and is now available to customers worldwide.
Delivered in ADP’s 4.0 international release, the update introduces two headline capabilities — the Smart Desk and Claw Mode, powered by the Agentic Loop. Together with Connector, Skills, Knowledge Base, MCP and Agent Portal, ADP 4.0 now connects the entire enterprise agent lifecycle — from building and connecting, to distribution and governance — giving enterprises a single foundation to develop, deploy and manage AI agents reliably and at scale.
Today, enterprises seeking to rebuild their operations with AI Agents often face three critical challenges:
Individual pilots are easy to initiate but difficult to scale;
Powerful models are challenging to integrate with existing legacy systems;
Deployed Agents present difficulties in security governance and cost control.
Tencent Cloud ADP 4.0 addresses these challenges systematically by unlocking long-horizon, self-coding capabilities for complex tasks through Claw Mode, connecting enterprise systems and capability assets through nearly 40 Connectors and over 150 Skills, while moving security governance upstream to the very source of development. This enables enterprises to rapidly develop Agents while keeping them running in real business environments in a stable, secure, and controllable way.
To date, Tencent Cloud ADP has been deployed across retail, finance, government, manufacturing, and other industries, where teams have used AI Agents to support on tasks such as intelligent Q&A, customer service, marketing content generation and business analysis.
How Smart Desk Serves as a Unified Agent Entry Point
The newly launched Smart Desk serves as the unified, user-facing entry point of Tencent Cloud ADP 4.0, addressing two needs at once: enterprises can build Agents at scale, while employees can complete everyday tasks with a single sentence. Within the same workspace, users can build scalable Agents for their organization using natural language, or handle personal tasks just as they would with an everyday office assistant. Agent capabilities can also be integrated into existing enterprise systems—office software, ERP, CRM, customer service, and more—so that Agents “grow” on top of existing workflows without tearing anything down.
Smart Desk dramatically cuts the cost of building. Setting up a knowledge-based intelligent Q&A assistant once required manually configuring more than a dozen parameters. Now a single sentence can complete the entire configuration automatically, enabling it to go live within minutes. For more complex workflows such as multi-intent customer service, users simply describe the logic, and the system automatically generates a complete flow—intent routing, knowledge-base Q&A, human handoff, and more—packaged and ready to import. When a single Agent isn’t enough, users can orchestrate a collaborative team of Agents with a single command, with the system automatically assigning responsibilities, prompts, and task handoffs. The Smart Desk also integrates with the Skills Marketplace, packaging mature capabilities—such as contract review, financial analysis, and invoice entry—into reusable enterprise-grade Skills that can be shared and continuously refined across the organization. In doing so, Smart Desk brings “usable by everyone” and “enterprise-grade control” together in a single entry point.
How Upgraded Claw Mode Resolves Complex, Long-Horizon Tasks
For complex tasks that lack fixed rules, span long chains, and resist form-based configuration, Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform (ADP) 4.0 adds a fourth building mode—Claw Mode. It can create Agents that autonomously write and run code in a cloud sandbox, call enterprise Skills, and execute long-running tasks. Once created, these Agents can be integrated into business systems via API/Web interfaces and reach employees and customers through channels such as LINE and Telegram. Creators do not need to fill out any forms; they simply describe their needs in natural language, and the platform automatically generates prompts, mounts knowledge bases, configures tools, and orchestrates workflows.
ADP 4.0 also supports two-way invocation between Agents and Workflows: Workflows handle steps with clear-cut rules, balancing stability with predictable token consumption. When unstructured judgment or open-ended tasks arise, they invoke a Claw Mode Agent to fully leverage the model’s capabilities. This gives enterprises the flexibility to integrate deterministic processes with intelligent decision-making.
Connecting Enterprise Systems, Knowledge, and Tools to Embed Agents into Workflows
To address the pain point of “powerful models that cannot reach enterprise production systems,” ADP 4.0 uses Connector, Skills, plugins, Knowledge Base, and MCP to turn an enterprise’s scattered business resources into callable and reusable AI assets.
The Connector framework offers nearly 40 curated Connectors in the first batch, supporting integration with high-frequency systems such as CRM, ERP, ticketing, customer service, knowledge bases, and document systems, and covering mainstream international SaaS applications like Google Workspace, Confluence, and Jira. Agents can directly read, retrieve, and perform operations such as querying, analysis, generation, and routing.
The upgraded Skills Marketplace now supports 150+ Skills. Business teams can package custom Skills into shared enterprise plugins that enter the enterprise zone for use only after passing security checks and approval.
More than 50 scenario-based templates and industry-curated applications shorten the path from zero to one. The upgraded Model Marketplace enables enterprises to select leading international models alongside their own self-hosted models, with native compatibility for the OpenAI standard protocol.
In addition, ADP 4.0 supports multiple entry points—platform, browser, Office, Chat channels, and API/SDK—embedding Agents into employees’ daily work scenarios.
End-to-End Governance from Development to Launch: Clearing the “Security Gate” Before Production
To tackle the challenge of “Agents that run but whose security and cost cannot be controlled,” ADP 4.0 moves governance upstream to the source of development, building a security control system that spans the full Agent lifecycle around permission management, Skills governance, runtime observability, and deployment compliance.
For permission management, ADP 4.0 supports a layered architecture at the enterprise, workspace, and application levels, combined with a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) role-permission matrix to achieve dual-dimension isolation of functional and data permissions. For Skills governance, custom Skills must pass security checks—static code scanning, data-access review, outbound-network review, dependency allowlisting—and multi-level approval before entering the enterprise zone to become shareable and schedulable enterprise assets. For observability and governance, enterprises can use Agent Portal to centrally manage Agents across platforms and scenarios, and use business and resource dashboards to monitor key metrics such as call volume, response quality, operating cost, and errors in real time, enabling rapid issue identification and optimization.
Wu Yunsheng, Vice President of Tencent Cloud and Head of the Tencent Cloud Agent Development Platform, emphasized that enterprise-grade Agents are not merely about who can build them the fastest, but rather about who can keep Agents operating on the front lines of business in a stable, secure, and sustainable manner. ADP aims to provide enterprises with a production-ready AgentOps foundation—one that enables them to build Agents quickly, connect these Agents to systems and distribute them to the front lines, and operate them continuously under a framework of permissions, security, evaluation, and observability, truly unlocking productivity value.

A picture of EV charging stations used for illustration purpose only.
Residents across Laos will now need government approval before installing electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment at home, under new regulations aimed at improving safety.
A notice issued by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport on 17 July requires homeowners and businesses to obtain technical approval from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce before installing home charging systems.
The same notice also introduces stricter rules for public charging stations. Anyone planning to build a new charging station must first obtain construction approval, while operators of existing stations built without prior approval must register with provincial authorities so officials can inspect the sites and determine whether they meet the required standards.
The measures are intended to improve safety, ensure charging stations comply with urban planning regulations, and bring existing and future charging infrastructure under a single regulatory system.
Under the new rules, charging stations may only be built in approved locations, including shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, transport hubs, airports, railway stations, petrol stations, and large residential developments.
Before construction can begin, developers must submit site plans, technical designs, traffic and drainage plans, environmental approvals, fire safety certification, and confirmation from Electricité du Laos (EDL) that the electricity supply is suitable for the project.
Provincial Public Works and Transport departments have also been instructed to inspect charging stations already operating across the country and determine whether they comply with the new requirements.
Next Phase of Laos’ EV Push
The regulations mark the next phase of Laos’ electric vehicle strategy, as the government shifts its focus from encouraging EV adoption to regulating the infrastructure needed to support it.
In May, Laos suspended imports of most fossil fuel-powered vehicles until the end of 2026 while introducing price controls on electric vehicles to help keep them affordable. Officials said the policy aims to reduce the country’s dependence on imported fuel and accelerate the transition to cleaner transport.
The government has also been expanding the infrastructure behind that transition. In April, it signed agreements with 27 public and private sector partners to develop EV charging stations, battery-swapping facilities, digital charging management systems, and financing for businesses investing in electric transport.
Electric public transport has also continued to expand. Earlier this year, Vientiane extended its electric Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network with a new route along Setthathirath Road after relaunching the service following safety improvements. Authorities also plan to extend the network to Wattay International Airport and the Laos-China Railway station.
Amari, OZO and Shama invite travellers to discover Malaysia through George Town Festival 2026 and Hari Merdeka — from the charm of Penang’s old town and the energy of Kuala Lumpur to the easy-going rhythm of Johor Bahru — with stays that complete the story of every trip.
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 July 2026 – When people think of Malaysia, many may picture the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur’s shopping destinations or short breaks that are easily accessible from Thailand. Yet, beyond these familiar images, Malaysia offers many more sides waiting to be discovered — from historic towns filled with stories, art and culture woven into everyday life, to diverse local flavours and the distinctive atmosphere of each destination. From the charm of George Town in Penang and the energy of Kuala Lumpur to the relaxed pace of life in Johor Bahru, each city offers its own unique experience.
For today’s travellers, a destination is no longer simply a place to reach, but a collection of moments to experience and remember. Whether strolling through an old town filled with art, tasting local cuisine, listening to music amid the atmosphere of a festival or taking time to relax in one’s own way. Festivals enable travellers to discover another side of a destination through its people, culture and celebrations during special moments, transforming a journey into a story that goes beyond simply visiting somewhere new.
In August 2026, Malaysia will offer two significant moments for travellers planning their next journey: George Town Festival 2026, taking place from 1–9 August 2026 in George Town, Penang, and Hari Merdeka, marking Malaysia’s 69th Independence Day. The national celebration will bring an atmosphere of pride, cultural colour and festive activities to cities across the country.
However, the appeal of a journey does not end when the festival concludes. Memorable experiences continue throughout the entire trip — from exploring the city and discovering new perspectives to tasting local cuisine and enjoying quiet moments after a day of adventure. Choosing the right accommodation is therefore an important part of shaping the overall feeling and experience of a journey. A hotel is not simply a place to rest, but a space to recharge, spend time with loved ones and experience each destination more fully and personally.
Understanding that every traveller has different rhythms and needs, ONYX Hospitality Group offers a diverse portfolio of brands to support a variety of travel experiences through Amari, OZO and Shama. The brands cater to different preferences, from travellers who want to explore a city to the fullest and those looking for a comfortable and relaxing break, to guests who wish to spend a longer period living in a destination.
For travellers looking to begin their discovery of Malaysia through art and culture, Penang is an ideal first destination. It is a city where stories from the past blend naturally with contemporary creativity. During George Town Festival 2026, George Town will come alive with art, performances and creative activities that reveal another side of this UNESCO World Heritage city.
For travellers who want to stay close to the colours of George Town and explore the city independently, OZO George Town Penang is an option that makes every moment of the trip easier. Located close to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, guests can conveniently explore street art, try local restaurants and uncover the city’s hidden corners.

Meanwhile, Amari SPICE Penang reflects the distinctive identity of the Amari brand through contemporary Thai-inspired hospitality, thoughtfully blended with the atmosphere and character of the destination. The hotel offers a full-service experience for travellers seeking comfort, relaxation and convenience. Its location is directly connected to SPICE Convention Centre and SPICE Arena, venues that regularly host international events.

As Hari Merdeka approaches, Kuala Lumpur reveals another side of Malaysia through its celebratory atmosphere, particularly in the city centre, where history, culture and the rhythm of metropolitan life come together. From iconic landmarks and event spaces to the city’s diverse neighbourhoods, each area reflects the colours and energy of this special occasion.
For travellers looking to experience the energy of the capital, Amari Kuala Lumpur is located in the heart of KL Eco City and is directly connected to the city’s main rail network, making it easy to explore Kuala Lumpur. Whether travelling to experience the celebrations, visit key landmarks or discover the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods, guests can return to a warm and welcoming atmosphere while enjoying the distinctive dining, beverage and service experiences for which Amari is known.
Another side of Malaysia well worth discovering is Johor Bahru, a city that is ideal for travellers who want to combine moments of celebration with a more relaxed holiday experience, including shopping, family activities and onward journeys to nearby destinations.
Amari Johor Bahru is located in the heart of the city on Jalan Wong Ah Fook, surrounded by shopping destinations, restaurants and the colours of urban life. It is well suited to travellers who want to explore the local atmosphere before returning to relax in spacious accommodation and recharge at Breeze Spa.
For families or travellers looking to spend longer in a destination, Shama Suasana Johor Bahru brings “The Joy of Living” concept to life through a serviced apartment experience that gives guests the freedom to live at their own pace. Designed to feel like home, the property features spacious accommodation, living areas and fully equipped kitchens, allowing guests to maintain their familiar routines, enjoy their favourite activities and spend quality time with loved ones, even while staying in a new destination.
The property also offers privacy, flexibility and convenience for both short and extended stays. Located above Zenith Mall, it makes it easy for guests to explore the city, shop or experience the local way of life.

More than simply a destination close to Thailand and easy to reach, Malaysia is a country that travellers can return to and rediscover at different times of the year — from art in historic towns and national celebrations to local cuisine, cafés, shopping districts and relaxing moments after a day of exploration.
Festivals become more than just a reason to travel; they serve as a gateway to experiences filled with people, stories, culture and memorable moments that unfold throughout the journey, waiting for each traveller to discover in their own way.
