KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —  The 10th Annual CX Summit Kuala Lumpur, organised by CX Malaysia and supported by Contact Centre Association of Malaysia (CCAM), will once again welcome Shep Hyken, global customer experience (CX) guru, on 11–12 November 2025 at the One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya. This marks his third appearance at Malaysia’s premier CX event.

Shep Hyken, recognized worldwide as a leading voice in customer service and experience, has worked with global giants such as Amazon, FedEx, Marriott, and Deloitte. Author of eight best-selling books—including The Amazement Revolution, which appeared on both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists—Hyken has been a driving force in shaping how organizations worldwide build and sustain customer trust.

At CX Summit 2025, Hyken will share insights on Malaysia’s CX progress, providing a global perspective on local achievements and opportunities. He will be joined by top CX leaders from prominent organizations including CIMB Bank, Maxis Berhad, RHB Bank, CelcomDigi, Philip Morris Malaysia, Pos Malaysia, Malaysia Aviation Group, and Bank Simpanan Nasional to name a few.

A Decade of Elevating CX in Malaysia

Now in its 10th year, CX Summit has become a benchmark event for CX excellence in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. Last year’s summit saw the launch of the State of CX in Malaysia Research and Report, which revealed Malaysia’s inaugural CX score of 3.61 – Proficient Level. This year, Manoj Menon, Founder and CEO of Twimbit, will unveil the 2025 findings and the nation’s latest CX score.

Themed “Reimagining a New World”, this year’s summit will explore the evolving landscape of CX, where empowered consumers expect richer, more seamless experiences. From brand promises and digital platforms to frontline service and AI-driven transformation, every business decision today is ultimately a CX decision.

“Customer Experience is THE Business Strategy,” said Vigneswaran Sivalingam, President of CCAM and Chairperson of CX Malaysia. “The CX of today is holistic—spanning brand, marketing, service, corporate, digital, and technology. It is also the ultimate objective driving transformation and AI adoption strategies.”

He continues by saying, “The truth is simple. Competitors can copy your products, pricing, and marketing—but not how you make customers feel. Experience is the new battleground, and customer trust is the ultimate currency. Businesses that embrace this shift won’t just serve customers; they will earn relationships that last a lifetime.”

Innovation at the #DigitalCX Marketplace

In addition to thought leadership sessions, CX Summit 2025 will feature the #DigitalCX Marketplace—a showcase of the latest innovations in AI, cloud, CRM, omni-channel, and unified communications solutions. This year’s showcase partners include Genesys, NTT Data, Radiant Communications, ITApps, Zoom Communications, Webex by Cisco, Zendesk, VLAN, Enghouse Interactive, Talkdesk, Nubitel, Freshworks, Logitech,  AtasCloud, Orlig, Sestek, Fanolabs, uni4AI and CoffeeBot, with more to be announced.

Shaping a Customer-Centric Nation

CX Summit 2025 is more than just a conference—it is a catalyst for shaping Malaysia into a truly customer-centric nation.

Transforms conventional loan facility into an innovative tool that drives measurable social and environmental outcomes

SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ABC Impact, an impact investing firm backed by Temasek and a member of Temasek Trust Asset Management^[i], has partnered with DBS and UOB on a sustainability-linked subscription loan facility. The USD 110 million (SGD 142 million)^[ii] sustainability-linked subscription loan facility, jointly established by DBS and UOB, transforms an existing conventional loan facility into an innovative instrument that links financing to measurable impact targets.

Previously, ABC Impact had a conventional subscription loan facility, which is typically a short-term facility that allows private equity and impact funds to bridge the gap between investments made and the receipt of capital called from investors.

With the sustainability-linked loan facility – which is linked to sustainability performance targets – ABC Impact and the two banks will channel capital flows towards projects with meaningful outcomes while embedding a focus on measurable impact and disclosure into the financing structure itself.

The loan facility is for ABC Impact Fund II, which was incepted in August 2023 and held its final close in March 2025. Assets under management (AUM) of the fund currently exceed USD 600 million (SGD 712 million) – double the size of its inaugural Fund I – with commitments from investors including Temasek, Temasek Trust, the Asian Development Bank, Mapletree Investments, SeaTown Holdings, a Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

Under the terms of the sustainability-linked loan facility, ABC Impact Fund II’s portfolio companies will be required to achieve sustainability performance targets related to avoided or reduced greenhouse gas emissions, as well as number of beneficiaries reached across key impact sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, education and financial services.

ABC Impact has tracked key impact indicators across its portfolio since inception, providing a data-driven foundation for measuring and reporting the outcomes achieved by its investments. The conversion of this loan facility into a sustainability-linked loan facility creates additional incentives to raise the bar on performance and further aligns financing with the fund’s mission to address pressing environmental and social challenges in Asia and reframe them into growth and development opportunities.

With this facility, ABC Impact, DBS and UOB are establishing a new benchmark for the financial sector in integrating sustainability considerations into conventional fund financing.

Sugandhi Matta, Chief Impact Officer, ABC Impact, said, “This sustainability-linked loan marks an important milestone in ABC Impact’s journey. With our investors’ capital already fully dedicated to impact, and now our financing linked to measurable sustainability outcomes, every dollar we manage is aligned with our mission. By embedding performance targets into mainstream financing structures, we are reinforcing our commitment to deliver both financial discipline and positive social and environmental outcomes across Asia.”

Simon Ong, Group Head of Financial Institutions and Government-Linked Corporations, DBS said: “This partnership demonstrates financial innovation in action – taking a traditional product and reimagining it to better serve the ecosystem. By working with ABC Impact, we are helping to unlock capital for businesses that generate both financial and social returns. This is an example of how banks can act as enablers of sustainable and impactful development, steering capital towards solutions that improve lives and livelihoods.”

Edmund Leong, Head of Group Corporate Banking, UOB, said: “UOB is steadfast in our commitment to developing innovative financing solutions that enable our clients to drive meaningful and measurable impact. By structuring the financing to clearly defined sustainability outcomes, this facility represents a new standard in harnessing capital for both commercial success and societal progress. Our collaboration with ABC Impact underscores the critical role of strategic partnerships in tackling pressing environmental and social challenges across the region.”

New initiative co-hosted by Trend Micro and GovWare brings together global leaders to advance responsible AI and strengthen cyber resilience.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced the launch of AISec @ GovWare 2025, a new initiative co-hosted with GovWare, Singapore’s leading cybersecurity conference. The new programme will bring together global leaders to address the growing intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, focusing on responsible innovation and resilience in the AI era.

Ian Monteiro, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Image Engine, and Organiser of GovWare: “As AI reshapes the digital and security landscape, collaboration will be key to ensuring its safe and responsible adoption. The launch of AISec @ GovWare 2025 underscores the growing urgency to strengthen trust, governance, and resilience in AI systems. By uniting voices from government, industry, and the cybersecurity community, GovWare continues to enable meaningful dialogue and collective action on the future of responsible AI adoption.” 

73% of organisations worldwide have already experienced security incidents due to unknown or unmanaged AI assets, and Asia Pacific (APAC) has seen a 29% increase in AI-driven cyberattacks.

While AI-driven automation and intelligent agents enhance detection and response capabilities, they also contribute to the growing sophistication of cyberattacks. 76.5% of APAC organisations say they are not confident in their ability to detect and respond to AI-driven cyberattacks. This readiness gap underscores the urgent need for regional collaboration and shared best practices.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer at Trend: “AI is not only transforming how we live and work, it is also redefining the threat landscape. Organisations can’t afford to rely on reactive defences. Security must be embedded into AI from day one and continuously reinforced through proactive measures after deployment. With AISec @ GovWare 2025, we’re equipping leaders with the insight and strategies they need to harness AI responsibly, build resilience, and secure the foundation for a safer digital future.”

A Platform for the Future of AI Security

AISec @ GovWare 2025 will bring together experts from across government and private sectors, including Trend, the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore (CSA), Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), the Global Council for Responsible AI (GCRAI), the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), and the Department of Home Affairs, Australia.

The forum will focus on four critical themes shaping the future of AI security:

• Building Towards Responsible AI & Governance: Addressing regulatory frameworks, industry collaboration models, and the pursuit of responsible AI adoption.
• Defenders of Enterprise AI & Private Models: Sharing best practices and frameworks to safeguard enterprise AI systems and proprietary models.
• AI for Proactive Cyber Defence: Exploring how AI can proactively defend against ransomware, phishing, and insider threats.
• Ecosystem Collaboration: Highlighting the need for regulators, academia, and industry to work together in building secure AI ecosystems.

Genie Sugene Gan, Governor and Global Ambassador, GCRAI: “As AI reshapes the foundations of our digital and social fabric, trust and governance must evolve just as fast. Responsible AI isn’t about slowing progress but guiding it with intention and foresight. At the Global Council for Responsible AI, we see governance not as regulation alone, but as the connective tissue between innovation, ethics, and inclusion. This partnership turns ambitions into action by building the guardrails and global cooperation needed to keep AI both powerful and principled.”

Anthony Lim, Singapore Ambassador, GCRAI, and panellist at AISec @ GovWare 2025: “Most organisations use pre-built AI models and services, where influencing the original training data or embedded guardrails is often not possible. That makes governance on the end-user side even more important. Responsible AI thus starts with understanding how these systems are used, from the data we feed in to how we interpret and apply their output. I’m honoured to join AISec @ GovWare 2025 to help drive more accountability and smarter use of AI.”

The 2.5-hour program will open with a keynote by Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer at Trend Micro, on how advancing AI technologies and AI-powered threats are shaping a new era of cyber risk, followed by panel discussions and thought leadership sessions on the most critical issues in AI security and innovation.

AISec @ GovWare 2025 will be held on Thursday, October 23, 10:00 am–12:30 pm, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre (Room GW1, Level 3) in Singapore.
