HONG KONG, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This Lunar New Year, Community Med Care is turning seasonal blessings into lasting impact. The charity’s “Love & Share” CNY Blessing Campaign invites the public to support its flagship program, “Stand Up with Love: Angel Mission”, which provides free Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) consultations to children with autism, ADHD, congenital or acquired brain damage, and other special needs, offering them not just treatment, but a chance to thrive.

Acupuncture and TCM: A Path Forward for Nearly 1,300 Children

The Angel Mission provides TCM orthopaedic care to children and young people aged 0–30 living with congenital and acquired brain damage, autism, Down syndrome, rare diseases, and other conditions. Over the past seven years, the program has delivered more than 55,058 TCM consultations to nearly 1,300 children, walking alongside families on journeys that might otherwise feel impossible.

One such child is Tsz Ching, now nine years old. Diagnosed with developmental delay and hip dislocation, she once struggled to move freely and speak clearly. Since joining the Angel Mission in 2019, ongoing TCM treatment has helped her gain better control of her tongue and hands, and her ability to express herself has steadily improved. For her family, every small step forward, and every smile, is a gift.

A Donation. A TCM Treatment. A Future.

This festive season, Community Med Care is calling on the community to give the gift of healing. Every donation brings a child closer to recovery:

HK$200 – Provides 1 acupuncture session for 1 child

HK$300 – Provides 1 acupuncture session + 3 days of Chinese herbal medicine for 1 child

HK$600 – Provides 1 acupuncture session + 3 days of Chinese herbal medicine for 2 children

Programme advances across key Financial Times metrics, including ESG and Net Zero teaching, value-for-money and career outcomes, reinforcing its global reputation

SINGAPORE, Feb. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore Management University’s (SMU) Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme has advanced 15 spots to rank again among the best business schools globally in the Financial Times (FT) 2026 Top 100 Global MBAs. Significantly, SMU’s MBA programme excelled in key metrics such as sustainability-focused teaching, world-leading research and career progression.

FT’s newly released annual ranking evaluated 100 MBA programmes worldwide against a rigorous set of criteria. Drawing on comprehensive surveys of both business schools and their graduates, the closely watched rankings assessed programme design alongside institutional strengths.

“In a period of heightened global uncertainty, we have embedded ESG and sustainability across the MBA curriculum in response to pressing business expectations, ensuring our graduates are equipped to lead responsibly,” said Professor Bert De Reyck, Dean of SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business. “Our performance in the Financial Times rankings reflects our focus on preparing leaders who can navigate complexity, drive organisational performance and contribute meaningfully to business and society.” 

Significantly, the SMU MBA achieved a major leap of 57 places to place 18^th globally in the FT’s ‘ESG and net zero teaching’ ranking, reflecting the programme’s strong integration of ESG-focused content and commitment to long-term value creation. The SMU MBA’s international faculty and student diversity served to enable multi-faceted perspectives that enriched ESG discussions, further reinforcing the programme’s global orientation. This recognition affirmed SMU’s commitment to equipping graduates with practical skills to meet the growing demand across industries worldwide, for sustainability and responsible investing expertise.

In terms of FT’s metric of ‘research ranking’, the SMU MBA jumped four spots to notch 2^nd place in Singapore and 33rd place globally. This underscored the programme’s strong research foundations and its integration of research-led insights into curriculum, in alignment with the University’s SMU2030 vision of creating meaningful impact and transforming lives through education, research and partnerships.

Since its inception in 2009, the SMU MBA has consistently delivered solid value to its graduates. Of note, the programme ranked amidst the top tier at 23^rd spot globally in the FT’s ‘value-for-money’ indicator, which measured the average alumni salary three years after graduation relative to the total cost of the MBA. The programme jumped 18 spots in FT’s metric of ‘career progress’ (to 56^th), demonstrating advancement amongst alumni three years after graduation. SMU MBA alumni reported a weighted salary of US$155,830 which underscored the programme’s strong post-MBA earning trajectory.

The programme’s strong showing in the latest FT rankings attested to the SMU MBA’s effectiveness in preparing graduates to navigate global and economic change. As geopolitical tensions, trade uncertainties and technology reshape industries and career pathways, the programme jumped 15 spots to rank within the top tier MBAs (57^th worldwide, 13^th in Asia) and to deliver significant and measurable outcomes for its graduates.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HUUCH, an emerging AI startup in the interactive entertainment space, today announced the completion of the foundational build of its product and game content platform. The milestone marks a significant step in the company’s mission to redefine family entertainment through full-body, AI-powered interactive play, and sets the stage for the upcoming market launch of its first core product.

The story behind HUUCH begins at home. In many households, families share the same living room and the same evening, yet remain absorbed in separate screens. This quiet separation, though common, has gradually replaced shared experiences with parallel ones. HUUCH was formed around a simple but often overlooked observation: physical proximity is among the most direct ways to build emotional connection. From this starting point came a guiding question: could motion play become a way to bring families back together, not by adding another screen, but by encouraging movement, laughter, and shared moments?

This question shaped HUUCH’s approach to both technology and content. Rather than designing games for individual players with controllers and steep learning curves, HUUCH focused on lowering the barrier to participation and expanding the definition of who a game is for. The result is a family-oriented platform where children and parents can take part together, regardless of age, gaming experience, or physical skill level.

At the center of this platform is HUUCH Box, the company’s first flagship product. Designed as a plug-and-play home gaming device, HUUCH Box is powered by proprietary 3D skeletal tracking and posture-sensing technology. The system requires no wearable devices and no handheld controllers. Instead, players use natural body movements to control on-screen characters, achieving real-time, one-to-one Full Body Motion Mapping that transforms the body itself into the controller. This approach enables a more intuitive and immersive experience, allowing users to step directly into the game world.

HUUCH Box made its public debut at CES 2026, where it received positive feedback from attendees for its accessibility, technical performance, and family-friendly design. The reception at CES reinforced the company’s belief that full-body interaction can serve as a powerful alternative to traditional, screen-centric gaming experiences.

Beyond the hardware, HUUCH places equal emphasis on game content and value-driven design. The platform offers a diverse portfolio of games spanning adventure, sports, dance rhythm, and action-based play. Games support both solo experiences and multiplayer formats for one to four players, encouraging cooperation, friendly competition, and shared achievement within a single session.

Narrative structure, character design, and progressive challenges are integral to the content strategy. Through these elements, the platform aims to help children develop resilience by trying again after failure, courage by facing new challenges, and empathy through collaboration and shared goals. The emphasis remains on active participation rather than passive viewing, aligning physical movement with emotional engagement.

Currently, HUUCH Box and its accompanying content ecosystem have completed core development and have been tested in a variety of real household and social settings, generating encouraging feedback. The product is scheduled for official launch in the first half of the year. The platform is designed for ongoing growth, with plans for monthly content updates to continuously expand the range of family-friendly experiences.

“Playing together strengthens connection,” says Ryan, CEO of HUUCH. It invites families, partners, and the broader industry to take part in a new chapter of interactive entertainment, one that begins at home, starts with movement, and turns shared play into shared meaning.
