SEEB, Oman, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia Healthcare Week opens at City Centre Mall, Seeb, marking the first major Middle East activation under the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism (MYMT) 2026. The week-long programme connects Omani patients with Malaysian medical specialists through public exhibitions, clinical consultations and professional exchange, demonstrating Malaysia’s “Healing Meets Hospitality” approach to international healthcare.

The initiative runs through 5 November in partnership with the Embassy of Malaysia in Oman. IHH Healthcare Group leads the Malaysian delegation, joined by Prince Court Medical Centre, Alpha IVF & Women Specialists, and PERKESO Rehabilitation Centre. Also participating alongside Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) is Tourism Malaysia Dubai Office to coordinate patient facilitation and travel logistics, in conjunction with the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism (MYMT) 2026 and Visit Malaysia 2026.

The programme includes two components:

  • City Centre Mall Exhibition (29 October – 2 November): a public-facing showcase of Malaysia’s hospitals, services and specialties, combining interactive booths, live Q&A with clinicians and consumer-focused materials.
  • Oman World Cancer Congress, Summit & Exhibition 2025 (3–5 November): Malaysian hospital representatives engage with oncology professionals across the Middle East region to explore clinical collaboration, knowledge transfer and patient referral pathways.

Beyond clinical capabilities, Malaysian hospitals provide services designed specifically for Middle Eastern patients: halal-certified food across all facilities, Arabic-speaking care coordinators, family accommodation within hospital complexes and culturally-informed care protocols that respect patient privacy and religious practices, distinguishing Malaysia’s healthcare model and reflecting the service standards coordinated across all MYMT 2026 activities.

“Malaysia Healthcare Week Oman demonstrates what MYMT 2026 represents, a unified national commitment to delivering medical excellence within a care environment designed around patient needs,” said Suriaghandi Suppiah, Chief Executive Officer of MHTC. “Omani patients receive not just treatment but a complete care experience that acknowledges their cultural values, family structures and personal preferences. This week gives them direct access to our specialists while building the professional relationships that enable ongoing collaboration between our healthcare systems.”

MHTC will conclude its Middle East activation at the Best of Malaysia Showcase in Doha, Qatar on 6 November 2025. Organised by the Embassy of Malaysia in Qatar and supported by MHTC’s strategic partner, REXPO, the event will serve as a key platform to highlight Malaysia’s world-class healthcare offerings.

Laos Sets New Economic Direction Under 2026–2030 Development Strategy

Laos is setting an ambitious new course for national growth as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Finance have rolled out their five-year development plans for 2026–2030, outlining strategies to accelerate industrialization, strengthen financial stability, and build a self-reliant economy.

At the sixth Party Committee Congress of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in late October, Deputy Minister Chanthaboun Soukaloun presented the draft Industry and Trade Development Plan, which positions the sector as a central driver of the country’s economic transformation. 

The plan sets ambitious targets for the industry and trade sector to contribute at least 36.2 percent to GDP, with projected annual growth rates of 12.65 percent for industry, 14.54 percent for domestic trade, and 10.62 percent for foreign trade.

Over the past five years, the ministry reported steady progress, achieving 180.82 percent of its industrial output target and surpassing foreign trade goals with USD 83.86 billion in total trade value. Building on this momentum, the new plan aims to promote value-added production, develop a competitive energy market, improve trade facilitation, and advance digital and green transformation across industries.

The plan aligns with the government’s broader National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP), targeting overall GDP growth of 5.5 percent per year.

MSME Challenges Highlight the Need for Reform

During the same congress, Vice President Pany Yathotou called for greater focus on micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which employ more than 80 percent of Laos’ workforce but continue to face major barriers to growth.

She warned that without stronger support, Laos risks stifling a sector vital for job creation and economic competitiveness. “MSMEs must be prioritized in national development,” she said, urging simplified procedures, greater transparency, and expanded access to finance.

Access to credit remains the most pressing obstacle. The May 2025 Lao Economic Monitor noted that high government borrowing and a fragile, bank-dominated financial system limit private sector lending. Inflation, currency depreciation, and dollarization have also made loans for small firms riskier and costlier.

Many MSMEs rely on internal funds due to lack of collateral, low financial literacy, and weak business documentation. These issues discourage banks from lending, a concern echoed by Nayoby Bank Deputy Director Bounxord Fongsanith, who said high collateral requirements, often double the loan amount, and poor record-keeping make formal financing “nearly impossible” for small firms.

Administrative hurdles further constrain MSMEs. A World Bank report previously found that complex regulations and inconsistent enforcement keep many businesses informal, limiting their potential contribution to economic growth.

Without urgent reform, experts warn, Laos’s most important job creators will continue to struggle, a challenge the Ministry of Industry and Commerce’s new five-year plan aims to address through financing reforms and business environment improvements.

Finance Ministry Strengthens Fiscal Management and Reform

Meanwhile, at the fourth Party Committee Congress of the Ministry of Finance, Santip Phomvihane, a member of the Party Central Committee, was elected Secretary of the Ministry’s Party Committee for the fourth term. 

The congress, attended by Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone and senior Party officials, reviewed the achievements of the previous five-year plan and approved the new financial sector development plan to 2030.

The finance sector’s new plan emphasizes fiscal discipline, improved revenue management, and enhanced coordination with other ministries to ensure that financial policies effectively support national development priorities. 

Delegates also reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to comprehensive reform in line with the Party’s principles and the government’s modernization agenda.

Both ministries’ new strategies aim to build a self-sustaining economy driven by industry, trade, and sustainable financial governance.

Central Bank Targets Stability and Modernization

The Bank of Laos (BOL) also unveiled its own five-year plan for 2026–2030 during its fifth Party Congress held on 26 October in Vientiane.

According to Governor Bounkham Vorachit, Secretary of the Party Committee, the plan prioritizes financial stability, stronger oversight, and innovation in digital banking to enhance inclusion and efficiency. It also builds on past efforts to modernize the financial sector and improve transparency.

Amid these reforms, the central bank is accelerating its digital modernization and regional integration agenda. Cross-border QR payment systems with Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, South Korea, and China now enable seamless cashless transactions for tourists and businesses, supporting both financial transparency and the country’s digital economy goals

Recent challenges in the banking sector have also highlighted the urgency of these reforms. 

In 2024, the Bank of Laos reported 21 corruption cases, including incidents within BOL and several state-owned banks, resulting in losses of nearly LAK 1.6 billion (approximately USD 74,000), of which only LAK 137 million (about USD 6,300) has been recovered.

A total of 167 individuals faced disciplinary action, while investigations continue at major financial institutions. These issues, the bank noted, highlight the need for stronger accountability and tighter oversight mechanisms to protect public trust and ensure financial integrity.

Over 1,300 Participants Run to Support Underprivileged Students


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 November 2025 – The HKSOS x Sowers Action Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon 2025 successfully took place today (2 November). The event, co-organized by Sowers Action and the mobile application HKSOS, was officiated at the kick-off ceremony by the Hon. of the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung. Other officiating guests included the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Information Systems), Ms. Kwan Chui-ching; the Assistant Director (Kowloon) of the Fire Services Department, Mr. Tsang Wing-hung; Divisional Commander (Kowloon East), Mr. Chu Man-chiu; Assistant Commissioner (World Customs Organization) of the Customs and Excise Department, Mr. Li Kin Kei; Acting Chief Pilot (Operations) of the Government Flying Service, Mr. Lui Tak-shun; and Staff Officer of the Auxiliary Medical Service, Mr. Siu Kwan-choi.

HKSOS x Sowers Action

More than 1,300 runners participated across four race categories — 42km, 28km, 14km, and a 3km Family Fun Run — joining forces for a meaningful cause to support education for underprivileged children while promoting outdoor safety.

Sowers Action Chairman Mr. Raymond Lee expressed heartfelt thanks to all participants:“We sincerely thank all government departments, sponsoring organizations, volunteers, runners, and members of the media for their unwavering support and participation, which made the “Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon” possible. Over the past 34 years, Sowers Action has extended its footprint across 16 provinces and 248 counties in Mainland China, as well as in various overseas regions. In recent years, we have also established the Sowers Action Service Centre in Sham Shui Po, serving over 1,600 grassroots families in Hong Kong. The ‘Challenging 12 Hours’ has been our signature charitable event for 27 consecutive years, and we are honored to collaborate with “HKSOS” this year to not only raise funds for children’s education but also to promote mountain and outdoor safety awareness. The success of this event truly relies on the collective efforts of everyone involved. In line with our belief that ‘Kindness Knows No Borders’, we are deeply grateful to every participant whose generosity helps sustain our mission in education and empowerment. Wishing all runners a safe and successful race, embodying the spirit of ‘Doing Good Brings Joy’.”

Assistant Commissioner of Police (Information Systems) Ms. Kwan Chui-ching remarked:“It is an honour for the Hong Kong Police Force to co-organize the ‘Challenging 12 Hours Charity Marathon’ with Sowers Action, bringing together the dual missions of education and technology. Since its launch in 2024, the HKSOS mobile application has successfully assisted over 270 citizens, averaging one rescue every two days. Its patented system integrates AI-powered incident detection, direct linkage to the 999 emergency centre, and an emergency contact network, forming a robust ‘safety triangle’ designed to enhance outdoor safety. We are especially delighted that over 1,300 runners participating today have downloaded HKSOS. Two weeks ago, our team also successfully conducted a satellite rescue test at an altitude of 5,600 meters in Nepal, marking an important milestone in validating cross-border emergency response capabilities. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to China Mobile Hong Kong for their strong support, and to every participant who has joined us in promoting both charity and safety through technology. I wish all runners a safe race and great success in this meaningful event.”

Secretary for Security Mr. Chris Tang also said: “I am delighted to once again be invited by Sowers Action to officiate at the ‘Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon 2025’ and to witness the results of the runners’ dedication and hard training. Over the years, Sowers Action has been steadfast in supporting underprivileged children both in Hong Kong and overseas. In recent years, the organization has also refocused its efforts locally, including the establishment of a support centre in Sham Shui Po to assist grassroots families. This year, the event is expected to raise over one million Hong Kong dollars, a strong reflection of the city’s spirit of compassion and community engagement. In addition to the popular 3 km Family Run, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the six disciplined services and two auxiliary services under the Security Bureau for forming multiple teams to take part in the 42 km race, together with youth uniformed groups — jointly passing on the spirit of charity and service. Every participant, regardless of ranking, has already made a meaningful contribution to children’s education through their actions. This truly embodies the event’s mission of ‘Changing Lives Through Running’.”

This year’s event raised funds for Sowers Action’s Education Assistance Program for Underprivileged Students. All proceeds will support initiatives improving learning conditions and educational facilities both locally and abroad. Past projects have funded teacher development, school renovation, and the purchase of learning equipment — enabling students from deprived backgrounds to continue their studies under better conditions. Sowers Action has provided educational support in mainland China, Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Nepal. As of June 2025, its total funding contributions have exceeded HK$794 million.

At the same time, the event promotes public awareness of mountain and outdoor safety. Since the HKSOS mobile application launch in January 2024, it has successfully assisted 247 individuals in distress, demonstrating the importance of safety knowledge in outdoor activities.

To encourage family engagement, this year’s race continued to feature the 3km Family Fun Run, enabling parents and children to enjoy outdoor exercise while supporting a good cause.Now in its 27th year, the Challenging 12 Hours Charity Trail Marathon has drawn over 40,000 total participants and raised more than HK$55 million for educational projects, benefiting over 500,000 children in need.

In the 42 km category, Yip Tung Hoi claimed the Men’s Championship with an impressive finishing time of 4 hours, 24 minutes and 46 seconds, while Ng Chin Nam won the Women’s Championship in 5 hours, 9 minutes and 22 seconds.

LOS ANGELES / LONDON – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 November 2025 – Gaw Capital Partners, a leading multi-asset investment management firm, is issuing corrected information regarding the media coverage published on 31 October 2025 in PERE, titled “Gaw Capital shutters US, Europe institutional businesses”.

Correct Information are as follows:

  1. Gaw Capital US will continue to invest in the US as an investment manager/operator focusing on its tech centric home markets on the west coast. The recent acquisitions of 2 lender assisted, deep discounted offices in Bellefield Office Park in Bellevue, a fifteen-building office campus embedded in a nature-park setting near Bellevue CBD, and North Park, San Francisco, a unique office campus in the heart of Jackson Square, San Francisco, demonstrate our nimbleness and ability to track markets where we have expertise in deal sourcing and operational skill sets on the ground.
  2. Gaw Capital UK is still actively managing Lloyd’s Building, Harbour Exchange, Gilray House, Clerkenwell House in London under our separate accounts, and the hotel assets including Intercontinental Hotel, Porto and Hotel Infante Sagres, Porto. With the acquisition of the majority stake C2 Capital in Portugal in 2024, we are shifting our focus to Southern Europe and actively exploring investment opportunities in that region.
  3. There is a very minimal reduction in our headcounts in our US and UK offices. Gaw Capital focuses on ensuring all investor capital raised for the US institutional fund series and our assets under our separate accounts in UK and European Hospitality Fund exit in orderly and profitable manner.

Gaw Capital Partners is committed to transparency and accuracy in all communications and regrets any confusion or inconvenience the initial reporting may have caused our investors, business partners, stakeholders and the public. We have been in contact with PERE to request a correction to the headline of the article and it has already been revised to “Gaw Capital to wind down US, Europe institutional businesses”.
