Beyond Banking: The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) Wins Corporate Excellence Award for Sustainable Rural Development


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 In a landmark victory for sustainable rural development, the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) was honored with the Corporate Excellence Award at the prestigious Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2025 Thailand. Organized by Enterprise Asia, the APEA was held on 22 August in Bangkok with the goal to celebrate outstanding entrepreneurs and organizations across the nation. BAAC’s win serves as a powerful validation of the bank’s transformative vision and its profound, life-changing impact on the lives of farmers and rural communities.

Established in 1966, BAAC has come a long way. Its mission extends far beyond traditional banking. It has evolved into a state-owned powerhouse of sustainable change, guided by its “SPARK” principles—Sustainability, Participation, Accountability, Respect, and Knowledge. This dedication to good governance and collaborative action has allowed the bank to not only provide essential financial services but also to build a resilient and prosperous rural economy.

A cornerstone of BAAC’s success is its unique, human-centric corporate culture, which is built on the profound belief that Our staff care about our customers, and our customers trust us.” This is not just a motto; it’s a practice. New employees gain hands-on experience in farming communities, and all staff are trained in the H-E-A-R-T principle of empathetic listening. This allows BAAC to truly understand and respond to the real needs of farmers, creating a powerful ecosystem of trust and support.

BAAC’s impact is both profound and measurable. The bank has successfully transitioned over 66% of its transactions to digital platforms, a testament to its efficient use of technology. Its commitment to environmental sustainability is also exemplified by the “BAAC Carbon Credit” initiative, which gives “Where Air Becomes Wealth” a new meaning for farmers. These achievements are driven by an organizational culture that values its people, resulting in high employee satisfaction and a strong ethical framework.

BAAC is more than a bank—it is the “Essence of Agriculture.” Looking ahead, the bank plans to embark on a comprehensive, multi-phase plan to evolve into a modern agricultural institution by 2028 and solidify its role as a Sustainable Rural Development Bank by 2032. This strategic vision, underpinned by a “Perform and Transform” strategy, ensures BAAC continues to build a sustainable future for rural Thailand, upholding economic, social, and environmental values for generations to come.

From Design to Digital Health: Sansern Kiattivejsoonthorn’s Award-Winning Transformation


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 The journey of Mr. Sansern Kiattivejsoonthorn, Founder of COSDENT Dental Clinic, encompasses resilience, creative design, and digital transformation—a journey recently celebrated with the Master Entrepreneur Award at the prestigious Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) 2025 Thailand Chapter.

With an education spanning Architecture and Urban Design, Sansern entered the healthcare sector with a unique vision: to fuse the discipline of design thinking with cutting-edge technology. He pioneered the concept of “Technology-Enabled Human Care,” where technology acts as an essential support system, not a substitute, for human expertise. His hands-on technical expertise allowed him to personally develop AI-powered consultation systems and integrated automation, ensuring his digital infrastructure perfectly served the patient experience.

This strategic groundwork proved vital when, in 2024, COSDENT faced a significant staff turnover. Instead of yielding, Sansern leveraged the challenge to build a robust integrated automation ecosystem. This innovation included the “Smart AI Consultation” platform, which boasts 96% accuracy in patient recommendations. The result was not just recovery, but massive growth: international patient acquisition rose by 55%, operational efficiency surged by 70%, and COSDENT scaled its premium services.

Under his leadership, COSDENT transformed from a local clinic into a global healthcare leader. By empowering clinicians to spend 40% more time on complex treatments and repositioning administrative staff as patient specialists, Sansern demonstrated how intelligent automation can enhance human potential.

Beyond his business success, Sansern champions digital minimalism and lifelong learning, using systems like PARA to manage knowledge and efficiency. His long-term vision is to democratize world-class healthcare and see his AI-enhanced models adopted across Asia, proving that technology can simultaneously elevate medicine and improve accessibility. His success, crowned by the APEA award, highlights his belief: “True leadership is about building systems that elevate human potential, not replace it.”

Her latest gift deepens and broadens this legacy across three key fronts: Empowering Students Through Financial Support, Broadening Horizons Through Global Exposure and Elevating Academic Excellence & Learning Community.

Among the new initiatives supported through this gift are:

  1. The Lillyn Teh Endeavour Study Award, to support students who demonstrate resilience and commitment to learning despite financial hardship. 
  2. The Lillyn Teh Global Endeavour Grant, which will enable students with financial needs to embark on student exchange programmes in Asia.
  3. The Lillyn Teh Global Leadership Endeavour Grant, which enables deserving students to participate in international exchange programmes at leading global universities, cultivating a more well-rounded worldview.
  4. The Lillyn Teh Endeavour Scholarship, offered annually to outstanding students at the School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS) who are pursuing a second major at the Lee Kong Chian School of Business (LKCSB).
  5. The Lillyn Teh Social Event: Two gatherings will be held annually to bring together recipients of Dr Teh’s gifts, fostering mentorship, peer learning, and a strong sense of community
  6. SMU’s Master of Science in Applied Finance (MAF) programme: Sustained funding to go towards enabling hands-on experience with expert faculty guidance, industry engagement, access to specialised software tools, and the opportunity to invest real money in global markets.

“Dr Teh’s generosity has helped lay the groundwork for a vibrant and supportive community — one where recipients of her gifts can come together to share experiences, learn from one another, and grow collectively. By creating this platform for mentorship and connection, Dr Teh is shaping more than individual success stories — she is nurturing a generation of students who lift each other up, and who carry forward the values of generosity, resilience, and shared purpose,” said Professor Lily Kong, SMU President.

She added that Dr Teh’s contributions have already begun to shape impact across campus. “Over the past year, Dr Teh’s generosity has empowered SMU students by expanding access to education, recognising academic excellence, and enabling global exposure that broadens horizons and deepens cross-cultural understanding. Her support has also fostered a culture of learning and community, including initiatives that promote peer mentorship and hands-on experiences.

With this latest and most significant gift, these impact areas will be deepened and sustained for future generations. On behalf of the University, I extend my deepest gratitude to Dr Teh for her steadfast belief in SMU’s mission. Her continued partnership exemplifies how our community is shaping the next chapter of SMU’s story — one that nurtures future-ready graduates and drives meaningful impact beyond our shores.”

Dr Teh shared that her motivation to give stems from her belief in the power of education, and a desire to provide growth opportunities for the next generation.

She said, “I strongly believe that education is the great equaliser and powerful multiplier. I fully endorse SMU’s holistic and globally connected approach and believe that students should be equipped not only with knowledge, but also with curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and compassion. Through this contribution, I hope to help students go further in their tertiary education and inspire them to start their own giving journey in the future.”

The announcement comes as SMU celebrates its 25th anniversary, a milestone that reflects the University’s evolution from a bold start-up institution to a globally recognised hub for innovation and impact. Dr Teh’s gifts exemplify how philanthropy and partnership can drive the next phase of SMU’s mission — one where every potential gets realised.

BEIJING, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — iQIYI, China’s leading online entertainment platform, announces the premiere of “The Blooming Journey” Season 2, arriving October 24. This travel-themed reality show continues iQIYI’s legacy of delivering standout seasonal IPs while highlighting authentic and compelling female narratives.


Building on the popularity of season 1, season 2 features five of China’s renowned female celebrities alongside two young companions.

This season’s journey covers diverse destinations – Inner Mongolia, Guizhou, Chongqing, Quanzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao – giving viewers a panoramic look at the broader Chinese culture.

Season 1 achieved notable success, with iQIYI’s content popularity index surpassing 8,000 and leading third-party rankings such as Enlightent, Dengta, Maoyan, Endata, Guduo, and Vlinkage.
