SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 December 2025 – Peuriste, a premium brand specialising in organic period pads in Singapore, has announced the development of its Smart Pad Dispenser — an IoT-enabled solution designed to redefine how menstrual and feminine care products are accessed in public spaces. Currently in MVP development with a target launch in Q1 2026, the dispenser aims to help corporates, institutions, and government agencies deliver meaningful, measurable impact in women’s health accessibility.

At its core, the Peuriste Smart Pad Dispenser is built to address a simple but pervasive challenge: women and girls continue to struggle with obtaining clean, safe menstrual care in schools, workplaces, and shared facilities. By combining engineering innovation with a strong social mission, Peuriste is setting a new benchmark for accessible women’s care in Singapore and beyond.

The dispenser features dual configurable slots that can dispense both menstrual pads and incontinence pads, ensuring inclusivity across needs, not just period care. This expanded support reflects Peuriste’s commitment to women across all life stages, including those experiencing bladder sensitivity or requiring additional hygiene support.

What further distinguishes the dispenser from traditional units is its integration of next-generation capabilities. Real-time inventory tracking ensures supplies remain consistently available, while remote monitoring enables seamless oversight across multiple locations. Usage analytics offer institutions clear insights into demand patterns and resource planning, and an optional digital display supports wellness education or curated sponsored content. Paired with responsibly designed products such as Peuriste’s day period pads, the dispenser reinforces a full ecosystem centred on sustainability and women’s wellbeing.

The Peuriste Smart Pad Dispenser strengthens an organisation’s CSR, DEI, wellbeing, and ESG commitments by combining essential care, sustainable materials, digital metrics and transparency, and a tangible impact on women’s health. It gives companies a scalable and meaningful way to support women in the workplace while demonstrating measurable responsibility and care.

Peuriste is a Singapore-based company committed to redefining women’s hygiene care through thoughtful innovation, accessibility, and sustainable impact. Through its ecosystem of plastic-free sanitary pads and future-forward hardware solutions, Peuriste aims to empower women with dignity, comfort, and trusted care anytime, anywhere.

Peuriste is currently finalising its MVP, with a pilot rollout planned for Q4 2026 alongside selected organisations. As the physical device is still in development, the company is inviting corporates, government agencies, schools, universities, and community partners to explore early collaboration opportunities and help shape a new national standard for women’s care accessibility.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 30, in Karshi City, Kashkadarya Region, Uzbekistan, the Kashkadarya Waste-to-Energy Project (hereinafter referred to as the “Kashkadarya Project”) by SUS ENVIRONMENT achieved a critical milestone — the successful hoisting of the first boiler steel frame. The Governor of Kashkadarya Region led representatives from the regional government and environmental protection department to the site, jointly witnessing this significant moment.

As one of the first waste-to-energy plants planned in Uzbekistan, the Kashkadarya project has efficiently completed all underground and ground foundation works in just three months. It has taken the lead in achieving the milestone of the first boiler steel frame hoisting, marking the comprehensive and high-quality completion of all underground and ground foundation works. The project will now officially transition to the phase of ground facility construction and rapid equipment installation. The President of Uzbekistan and the Governor of Kashkadarya Region stated that the government would provide full support for the project’s construction, expressing their anticipation that it would become Uzbekistan’s first operational waste-to-energy plant.

The Kashkadarya waste-to-energy project is designed to process 502,500 tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, serving a population of over 3 million. It is expected to generate approximately 342 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which can meet the annual electricity demand of more than 170,000 local households. Additionally, the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 240,000 tonnes annually. Not only will it significantly alleviate the local pressure of “garbage siege,” but it will also provide a stable supply of green electricity. This initiative represents an important practice for Uzbekistan in promoting energy transition and advancing sustainable development.

Building a Green Belt and Road, Advancing the Clean Energy Transition. The successful progress of the SUS ENVIRONMENT ‘s waste-to-energy project will inject strong momentum into the upgrading of the environmental governance system and the low-carbon sustainable development of the entire Central Asia region.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB)‘s latest Kansai Airport Exit Survey 2025: Interim Report found that Klook is the most-used platform among international travelers booking paid tours and activities during their stay in Japan.

Slide 85 from Kansai Airport Exit Survey 2025: Interim Report published in October 2025

42.1% of respondents indicated that they booked via Klook, tripling the next player on the list.

The finding draws on data from 2,228 respondents collected over two survey waves conducted between May and September 2025. Interim results were published in October 2025.

This survey is part of OCTB’s ongoing efforts to understand inbound tourists’ behavior in Japan — including how and where they book their activities — in order to identify effective ways to market Osaka’s attractions to different types of visitors. It also explores key factors influencing satisfaction, repeat intention, and spending behavior.

“Understanding where visitors book their activities helps us connect this information with insights from our surveys, such as traveler profiles and motivations,” says Hiroki Makita, General Manager, Marketing Strategy Department, OCTB. “This enables us to better understand different customer segments and identify effective ways to promote Osaka’s attractions to a broader audience, supporting our wider-area tourism goals.”

The data serves as a foundational resource for tourism stakeholders in Osaka, including local governments and tourism-related businesses, providing an overview of the current state of tourism in the city and supporting future strategy development.

“Our latest results show that Klook has a particularly strong presence in activity ticket sales,” says Makita-san. “By working with Klook and other online travel agents, we aim to expand exposure for experiences across Osaka’s municipalities and inspire more visitors to explore the many sides of Osaka.”

And Klook has played a pivotal role in inspiring visitors to explore Osaka.

The city’s defining event this year, Expo 2025, runs from April to October 2025, coinciding with OCTB’s survey window.

During that period, Klook recorded close to 40% year-on-year increase in average daily gross bookings, indicating that travelers who came for Expo 2025 also booked additional experiences through Klook.

These travelers were also more likely to book JR Passes, Shinkansen trips, and regional attractions like Osaka e-pass and Have Fun in Kansai Pass to maximize their stay.

“We are honored that Klook is the leading platform among international travelers booking paid tours and activities in Japan, and outperforming other providers by a significant margin too,” says Wataru Masuda, General Manager at Klook Japan. “This recognition reaffirms our commitment to making it easy for everyone to enjoy the best of each destination. Working closely with partners, like the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau, definitely helps us design experiences that bring value to both travelers and local communities.”

In August 2025, Klook partnered with the Hiroshima Tourism Association (HIT) to bring 112 content creators from 20 markets to experience and showcase Hiroshima. The campaign achieved a sustained digital reach of over 59.5 million and 28.5 million social impressions, amplifying Hiroshima’s appeal to global travelers.

Klook is also one of only three online travel agencies partnering with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) to drive tourism dispersal by promoting lesser-visited destinations of Japan to Asia-based travelers.

About Klook

Klook is a leading pan-regional experiences platform in Asia Pacific, purpose built to digitalize experiences and make them accessible to every traveler. Our mission is to build the digital infrastructure for the global experience economy — empowering merchants to share their passions and travelers to discover the heartbeat of each destination.

With Child Deaths Projected to Rise for the First Time This Century, Gates Foundation Urges Global Leaders to Target Scarce Resources Where They Save the Most Lives

New Goalkeepers Report models impact of global health funding cuts, offers roadmap of best buys and most effective investments to slow this reversal

SEATTLE, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The number of children dying before their 5th birthday is projected to rise for the first time this century, reversing decades of global progress, according to new data published today in the Gates Foundation’s 2025 Goalkeepers Report.

In 2024, 4.6 million children died before their 5th birthday. According to modeling in the report, conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), that number is projected to rise by just over 200,000—to an estimated 4.8 million children this year. At the same time, global development assistance for health fell sharply this year—26.9% below 2024 levels. Beyond this year’s drastic funding cuts, countries face mounting debt, fragile health systems, and the risk of losing hard-won gains against diseases like malaria, HIV, and polio.

The report, We Can’t Stop at Almost, warns that if global health funding cuts persist, up to 16 million more children could die by 2045. It offers a roadmap for how targeted investments in proven solutions and next generation innovations can save millions of children’s lives, preventing a reversal in progress in today’s constrained budget environment.

“I wish we were in a position to do more with more because it’s what the world’s children deserve. But even in a time of tight budgets, we can make a big difference,” writes Bill Gates, chair of the Gates Foundation and the report’s author. “I’ll continue to advocate however and wherever I can for increased funding for the health of the world’s children—and for efficiencies that improve our current system. But with millions of lives on the line, we have to do more with less, now.”

A Critical Turning Point
Projections by the IHME show that if global health funding cuts of 20% persist, an additional 12 million children could die by 2045. A 30% permanent cut would bring that toll to 16 million.

Gates describes this moment as a turning point for global health, when the right choices can still save millions of lives.

“We could be the generation who had access to the most advanced science and innovation in human history—but couldn’t get the funding together to ensure it saved lives,” Gates writes. “By making the right priorities and commitments, and investing in high-impact solutions, I’m confident we can stop a significant reversal in child deaths and help ensure millions more children are alive in 2045.”

In the report, Gates identifies investments with the greatest potential to save millions of young lives. He calls for doubling down on the most effective interventions—primary health care, routine immunizations, better vaccines, and new uses of data—to stretch every dollar. For example:

  • For less than $100 per person per year, strong primary health care systems can prevent up to 90% of child deaths.
  • Every $1 spent on vaccines returns $54 in economic and social benefits. Through Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, more than 1.2 billion children have received lifesaving vaccines since 2000.

The work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is also evidence of what sustained investment can achieve. As one of the most effective engines in health, the Global Fund has saved 70 million lives and reduced deaths from malaria, TB, and HIV by more than 60% since 2002. Late last month, leaders pledged $11.34 billion to the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment, underscoring continued global commitment to fighting these diseases while laying bare the risks of stepping back.

According to Gates, investment in the development of next-generation innovations could end some of the deadliest threats to children, such as malaria and pneumonia, for good. Modeling in the report projects that sustained funding in these innovations could save millions of children by 2045.

  • Next-generation vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus and pneumonia could save 3.4 million children.
  • New malaria tools could save another 5.7 million children, while long-acting HIV prevention tools like lenacapavir could help drive infections and deaths toward zero in high-burden countries.

Local Leadership, Global Action
The report also features essays with firsthand perspectives from leaders, health workers, and researchers in Africa and Asia who are advancing solutions to sustain progress:

  • In Nigeria, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, governor of Gombe State, prioritized primary health and education amid a budget deficit. “You don’t need perfect conditions to make progress. You need clarity, and the courage to stick to it.”
  • In Kenya, community health worker Josephine Barasa continued volunteering in her community after losing her paid position, providing care and education to mothers and children. “They could take away the money, but they couldn’t take me away from my women… The support systems may have disappeared, but the need has not. And neither have I.”
  • In Uganda, entomologist Krystal Mwesiga Birungi is developing next-generation tools to combat malaria. “Ending malaria is not only possible, it is urgent,” she said. “We African researchers know this—and we are leading the way.”
  • In India, Dr. Naveen Thacker, a pediatrician, underscored the importance of affordable and accessible vaccines. “If we want to see more healthy children, affordability of vaccines is key.”

Gates implores governments, philanthropies, and citizens to act on the report’s findings by safeguarding or expanding funding, increasing philanthropic giving, and reminding leaders that every child deserves the chance to survive and thrive, no matter where they are born.

“We can’t stop at almost,” Gates writes. “If we do more with less now—and get back to a world where there are more resources to devote to children’s health—then in 20 years we’ll be able to tell a different kind of story: how we helped more kids survive childbirth—and childhood.”

Launched in 2023, Cognizant’s Synapse skilling initiative has outpaced its original goal of reaching one million individuals worldwide by the end of 2026

TEANECK, N.J., Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cognizant today announced an expansion of its Synapse initiative, setting a new goal to upskill a total of two million individuals by the end of 2030. Having already exceeded its original target of one million by the end of 2026 – Cognizant is doubling down on its commitment to empower individuals with the training they need to participate in tomorrow’s digitally-driven workforce.

The rapid evolution of AI is reshaping the global workforce. According to a Cognizant–Oxford Economics study, 90 percent of jobs—from entry-level to executive roles—will experience disruption from AI in the next decade. As organizations race to adapt, the need for large-scale upskilling is increasingly urgent. Cognizant’s Synapse initiative is designed to address this challenge by mobilizing a company-wide effort to advance learning and development, forge technology partnerships and invest in community giving.

“The expansion of our Synapse commitment marks a significant step toward building a more future-ready workforce. We are proud to have surpassed our initial goal ahead of schedule, a testament to the dedication of our teams and partners,” said Ravi Kumar S., Chief Executive Officer at Cognizant. “Our bold commitment to reach two million individuals by 2030 reflects the essential role Cognizant plays in enabling people around the globe to thrive in the AI-powered age and participate in the prosperity that this digital transformation brings.”

Cognizant is aiming to create a new standard for workforce readiness through the Synapse initiative. Synapse breaks down socio-economic, cultural, and language barriers and supports jobseeker skilling, employee-led STEM education, and strong partnerships with governments, academic institutions, non-profit and industry leaders.

Cognizant remains dedicated to reaching individuals through the commitments it outlined when Synapse launched, including its Skills Accelerator, Technology Partnerships, Apprenticeships, Community Education and Employee Skilling. As part of the expanded commitment, Cognizant also intends to broaden some of these focus areas of Synapse – including:

  • Learning and Development Resources: By expanding its learning and development offerings, Cognizant aims to accelerate its investment in employee learning, develop partnerships with learning institutions, and offer learning tracks for client teams.
  • Branded Learning Programs and Events: Cognizant intends to offer branded learning experiences that bring Cognizant’s customized learning capabilities to client sites, learning institutions, and NGO partners.
  • Social Impact: Cognizant aims to expand its distribution of philanthropic funds to NGOs that align to the mission of Synapse as well as design and host learning and development programs that benefit the communities where Cognizant operates.

  • The film, Papa (爸爸) emerged as the biggest winner with five awards.
  • The ceremony also marked the debut unveiling of the Golden Singa Awards trophy, designed and crafted by RISIS.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following the successful conclusion of the inaugural Golden Singa Awards on 1 December at the Singapore Capitol Theatre, the Organising Committee is pleased to present the official results and post-event highlights from this landmark celebration of Chinese-language filmmaking and creative achievement.

The inaugural edition, graced by Singapore’s Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How, took place during the Singapore Media Festival — a week-long event hosted by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). The Awards brought together filmmakers, actors, producers and creative professionals from across the region, with strong contenders competing across 17 categories. The acclaimed film Papa 《爸爸》emerged as the biggest winner of the night, securing five major awards, including Best Male Actor, Best Editing, Best Original Score, Best Screenplay and Best Director.

Mr Dasmond Koh, CEO of NoonTalk Media and Organising Chair of the Golden Singa Awards, says, “The works recognised this year reflect the remarkable breadth and growing maturity of Chinese-language films. As we look to the next edition, our commitment is to build on this momentum — to strengthen regional collaboration, nurture emerging creative talent and shape the Golden Singa Awards into a meaningful platform that champions artistic innovation and celebrates creative excellence across the Chinese-language film landscape on an international stage.”

The winners were selected by a distinguished nine-member final juries led by Mr Donnie Yen (President, Final Jury), alongside Mr Joe Cheung, Ms Li Shao Hong, Mr Bill Lui Cho Hung, Mr Teddy Zee, Ms Anita Yuen, Ms Hao Lei, Mr Wei Te-Sheng and Mr Vincent Fang. Representing some of the most influential voices across directing, acting, producing, art direction and music, the Jury’s rigorous evaluation ensured that each award reflected the highest standards of artistic and technical excellence. 

Mr Vincent Zhou, Vice Chairman of the Golden Singa Awards Committee and President of V Picture says, “We are heartened by the support received from across the industry and it is our aspiration to continue drawing respected practitioners, emerging voices and leading creative partners to be part of this growing community. Together, we hope to cultivate a space where excellence is recognised, dialogue is encouraged and the craft of filmmaking can thrive.”

A key highlight of the evening was the inaugural public unveiling of the Golden Singa Awards trophy, showcased before an audience of more than 500 invited guests at the iconic Capitol Theatre.

Designed and crafted by Singapore’s homegrown jeweller RISIS, the matte 24-Karat Gold trophy embodies Asian cinematic excellence with a silhouette that conveys both strength and grace. A finely detailed lion emblem represents courage and integrity, while a subtle Vanda Miss Joaquim Orchid accent pays homage to Singapore’s national flower and the resilience of storytellers whose work shapes perspectives across the region.

Ms Verene Ng, Chief Executive Officer of RISIS shares, “Honouring visionary filmmakers and artistes, crafting this trophy is especially meaningful as RISIS approaches its 50th Jubilee next year. RISIS and cinema share an enduring legacy, always evolving to ignite new possibilities.”
