Global ocean exploration nonprofit joins Southeast Asia to support the advancement of ocean science and marine education in the region in the battle against climate change
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 March 2024 – Global ocean exploration nonprofit OceanX has today announced a multi-year mission to explore the waters of Southeast Asia and further global understanding of one of the most biodiverse and threatened oceanic regions in the world.
Using Singapore as a central meeting point, OceanX will embark on a series of research expeditions throughout the region aboard OceanXplorer – the world’s most advanced exploration, scientific research and media production vessel. This includes upcoming missions in Indonesia (May-August 2024) and Malaysia (H2 2024), where the team will be partnering with local government agencies and scientists to conduct studies on the ocean environment that will help inform science, policy, and economic decisions.
“Southeast Asia is well-known as one of the world’s largest marine biodiversity hotspots, and much of it remains undiscovered and unexplored,” said Mark Dalio, Founder and co-CEO of OceanX. “So naturally, we’re excited at the prospect of what we might find beneath the water’s surface.”
“That said, Southeast Asia is also home to several island nations, including the world’s largest archipelago – in fact, 9 out 10 ASEAN countries touch the sea. From fisheries to ocean sustainability, natural disasters to climate change – there are few regions with a deeper connection to and dependence on the ocean,” he added. “With that in mind, OceanX is committed to joining Southeast Asia in the battle against climate change by exploring the depths of its waters and bringing back critical data, so we better understand how to protect and preserve it.”
The OceanXplorer is fully equipped with cutting-edge technology to survey diverse marine environments, including deep-sea, shallow, and coastal habitats. This includes:
Two 1,000 metre manned submersibles
6,000 metre remote operated vehicle (ROV)
State-of-the-art research laboratories
Next-gen DNA sequencing capabilities
Full acoustic mapping capabilities
Conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) analysis
OceanX Education will also launch several new on-ship experiences and educational programmes later in the year in partnership with universities and nonprofits around the region to develop and nurture the next generation of marine scientists, engineers and storytellers.
Working in collaboration with Dalio Philanthropies – a founding core member of the Temasek Trust’s Philanthropy Asia Alliance – OceanX is expected to take on numerous projects throughout Southeast Asia for several years and is currently in active discussions with governments throughout the region to organise additional expeditions.

The new Essential critical secure plan features coverage for mental health conditions and first-in-market monthly cash payouts upon diagnosis of severe critical illness
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 March 2024 – Etiqa Insurance Singapore, a leading life and general insurer, today announced the launch of Essential critical secure, a new Critical Illness (CI) plan, that offers affordable and comprehensive protection against 111 CI and mental health conditions across multiple stages of illnesses.
The new Essential critical secure plan features coverage for mental health conditions and first-in-market monthly cash payouts upon diagnosis of severe critical illness.
Many Singaporeans remain under-protected against CI, with an average CI protection gap of 74%. Coupled with rising medical costs, there is a growing need for accessible and robust insurance solutions to safeguard individuals from the financial burden associated with CI. The product’s first-in-market feature, Continuous Care Benefit, aims to address this gap by providing monthly cash payouts of up to 200%1 of the original sum insured2 in addition to a 100% lump sum payout upon a severe stage CI claim to help Singaporeans amid challenging times.
“Etiqa Insurance Singapore’s Essential critical secure plan reinforces our commitment to support Singaporeans through life’s challenges while addressing evolving healthcare and protection needs,” said Raymond Ong, CEO of Etiqa Insurance Singapore. “The addition of Continuous Care Benefit aims to alleviate the financial strain of customers during challenging times by providing continuous financial support, going beyond the conventional lump sum payout upon diagnosis.”
In line with Singapore’s focus to make mental health and well-being a key priority, Essential critical secure also encompasses financial support for mental health. Coverage is provided for psychiatrist consultations (up to 8 claims) upon the diagnosis of Mild Depression or Generalised Anxiety Disorder after the first policy year, and an accelerated lump sum benefit of 20% of the sum insured3 will be paid out upon the diagnosis of any 1 of the 5 covered severe mental health conditions.

MEISHAN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2024 – In March 2024, an unprecedented visual feast will take place inside the Kennedy Center in DC and David H. Koch Theater in New York City’s Lincoln Center. There will be eight shows of the modern musical Dongpo: Life in Poems, a joint effort between the China Oriental Performing Arts Group Co., Ltd. and the MeiShan Song and Dance Theatre in this round of debut in the U.S. Using unique perspectives and innovative forms of expression, the production aims to showcase to the world the profundity and charms of traditional Chinese culture.
Stage photo of Dongpo: Life in Poems
The creative core of Dongpo: Life in Poems revolves around the story of venerated luminary Su Shi (1037-1101). Also known by the name Su Dongpo, not only was he the pride of Meizhou (present-day Meishan of Sichuan Province), but also one of the most respected and accomplished writers and poets in Chinese history. Known for his positive and liberal spirit, and unwavering mentality, Su Dongpo became the only Chinese on the list of “Heroes of the Millennium” published by France’s Le Monde. Incorporating a diverse range of art forms from modern choreography and guqin music, to poetry, calligraphy, painting and carving, this production fully presents the inner world and emotions of Su Dongpo.
Stage photo of Dongpo: Life in Poems
Internationally recognized producer, director, choreographer, painter and visual artist Shen Wei takes the helm on this production in multiple roles. He cleverly melds the words from 12 of Su Dongpo’s poems and proses into every dance movement and musical note, presenting an artistic dialogue that transcends time and space. After 20 months of meticulous polishing and 19 modifications, the final outcome has received critical acclaim. Shen Wei remarked: “The creative process of Dongpo: Life in Poems was an in-depth exploration of ancient culture, and at the same time an innovative experiment in using modern artistic methods to reiterate traditional Chinese culture.”
The picture shows the Meishan Sansu Temple (meaning three Sus), which is the former residence of the famous literary masters, Su Xun and his two sons, Su Shi and Su Zhe of the Northern Song Dynasty in China. The temple houses tens of thousands of cultural relics and documents and was rated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2018, making it one of the best places to experience traditional Chinese culture.
The stagecraft of Dongpo: Life in Poems is breathtaking. Rather than directly showing Su Dongpo’s personal life, the goal is to rely on artistic sophistication to foster a poetic ambience where “Dongpo can’t be seen but Dongpo is everywhere.” This kind of artistic expression that fuses traditional and contemporary elements, the East and the West, will bring to the American audience an artistic experience unlike any other.
Furthermore, the production also represents a gathering of some of the top artists from both China and overseas. Other than Shen Wei, the team includes the likes of renowned Chinese-French composer Chen Qigang, national grade I scriptwriter Guo Changhong, lighting designer for the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games Xiao Lihe, and Deputy Director of the China Calligraphy Institute Yang Tao, among other heavyweights. Their expertise and experience have furnished this production with choreography, music, scripting, lighting and calligraphy of remarkable quality.
This round of debut in the U.S. has received tremendous support from the “Image China” brand. Since inception in 2009, “Image China” has been responsible for a large number of Chinese performances that have garnered widespread acclaim. This round of Dongpo: Life in Poems shows in the U.S. will be undertaken in cooperation with the American Dance Festival, and present to the American audience a modern musical masterpiece featuring Chinese aesthetics.
As the debut performances draw near, the Kennedy Center in DC and David H. Koch Theater in New York City’s Lincoln Center are making final preparations. No doubt the audiences have a lot to look forward to, and they expect to savor the charms and colors of traditional Chinese culture on stage.
It has been known that Dongpo: Life in Poems will also tour in France and the Hong Kong and Macao regions in 2024. As the birthplace of Su Dongpo, the city of Meishan will also capitalize on the opportunities of these tours by using both online and on-site methods to introduce to the world the city’s wonderful array of cultural resources, ecology, sceneries, gastronomy and intangible cultural heritages.
