(“SPIC Henan“), through resource sharing and complementary advantages, the two parties will enhance their core competitiveness, provide multi-category smart energy services to more end customers, and create more social benefits and commercial value.

 

In order to conform to the market trends and assist in China’s carbon peak and carbon neutral goals, the Board of directors of the Company has recently formulated the Company’s development strategy plans and goals for the next three years (2022-2024) based on the current conditions and development trends of the energy industry. Through business expansion and innovation with gas business as the core, the Company will further expanding and innovating low-carbon energy business, aiming to become China’s first-class supplier and service provider for green low-carbon energy. The strategic outline for the next three years will following below five major directions:

 

1.    The Company strives to explore industrial and commercial users by being user-centric to strengthen continuous and deep understanding of users’ energy needs and characteristics. Through adopting flexible pricing policies, providing users with low-carbon integrated energy services, energy-saving services, and other methods, it will be able to reduce costs, increase efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, increase customer stickiness, and widen the user base. Meanwhile, key measures such as increasing clean heating for residents, educating township users in consuming gas, and expanding business to industrial parks and surrounding townships will accelerate the growth of individual households and total gas consumption for existing projects. In terms of gas source optimisation, various measures such as strengthening upstream cooperation, achieving pipeline interconnection, and reinforcing deployment of gas storage will enhance the competitiveness of gas sources and boost the high-quality endogenous growth of the gas business.

 

2.    The Company will seize important integration opportunities derived from the industry in the next few years, take advantage of Tian Lun Gas’s high-quality and efficient mergers and acquisitions, and focus on key areas (neighbouring regions of provincial capitals, industrial transfer, areas for upgrading natural gas consumption, and gas source production and gathering areas), to obtain high-quality projects (with a high proportion of gas sales profits, a high proportion of industrial and commercial users, and great development potential), thereby achieving regional synergy. Meanwhile, the Company will optimise the investment management mechanism and mobilize all involving parties to facilitate high-quality mergers and acquisitions of the gas business.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach – 29 November 2021 – On this year’s Double 11th, TECNO, a high-end smartphone manufacturer owned by TRANSSION, made a wonderful debut. JD.ID cooperated with TECNO to launch a bespoke gift box for Manchester City Football Club. It is the first time TECNO has launched IP customization in Indonesian market.

https://youtu.be/BSBlm-Rofdg

 

JD.ID joined hands with TECNO because the two sides have reached strategic cooperation. Since JD.ID officially became the national agency of TECNO brand, TECNO earlier launched its latest smartphone TECNO Spark 7 exclusively in JD.ID.

 

Now, in order to deepen the cooperation, the JD.ID x TECNO Spark 7 limited special box was just launched at the end of November. This gift box continues its consistent high cost performance, with a price of only 1,199,000 rupiah, and offers three fashion choices: magnet black, Morpheus blue and spruce green, plus a cute limited thermos cup.

 

In terms of the function, Spark 7 revolves around the Generation Z. With dual cameras (16MP for the rear camera and 8MP for the front camera), it is embedded with advanced AI, which can accurately detect objects, contours, textures, light and colours, so that the Generation Z can capture abundant details and record precious moments such as scenery, food and fireworks.

 

In addition, Spark 7 also supports audio sharing, allowing users to connect multiple bluetooth speakers/headphones while it is equipped with 6,000 mAh battery capacity, all of which make TECNO  highly competitive in smartphones at the beginner level.

 

JD.ID fully agrees with the idea of attaching importance to the Generation Z. As the fastest growing e-commerce brand in Indonesia, JD.ID hopes to bring the smartphone with the longest battery life, the best photo taking and the highest cost effectiveness to the youth in Indonesia. There is also special treat-At the JD.ID Electronic Festival from 21st to 30th November, customers can enjoy a maximum discount of 30% when you buy TECNO full series and JD.ID x TECNO limited special box.

With the strong support of JD.ID, whether Indonesia will become another hot market for TECNO after Africa and India is up to time.

TECNO becomes a highlight of JD.ID Electronic Festival! New opportunities for Chinese brands going overseas

JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach – 29 November 2021 – In Southeast Asia, because the traditional European, American, Japanese and Korean brands have built a fairly complete system offline of production, sales and after-sales, resulting in strong consumer reliance on the brand, it is difficult for emerging brands to enter the Southeast Asian market. However, this situation has now been broken.

https://youtu.be/BSBlm-Rofdg

 

On November 21, JD.ID Electronic Festival kicked off as scheduled. Among all the special sales, a Chinese brand attracted strong attention. That is TECNO, the benchmark of going overseas. TECNO may be an unfamiliar brand to the Chinese masses, but this mobile phone manufacturer, which grew up in Shenzhen, is a household name in Africa and operates in more than 70 countries around the world. At the JD.ID Electronic Festival, there are high discounts for all purchases of TECNO Spark series smartphones and the exclusive JD.ID x TECNO Spark 7 limited edition special gift box.

 

The Electronic Festival will continue until November 30, during which the activities, such as the daily limited-time offer, exclusive deal-up to 30% off, voucher value-up to 1 billion rupiah in 24-month, smart phone/home appliance 0% installment free, a refund of 100,000 rupiah in cash for purchasing the laptop/desktop computers, and 1 year extra warranty for all the product, are available.

 

This year, JD.ID entered into a strategic partnership with TECNO. It first relied on TikTok to accumulate brand goodwill and potential consumers for TECNO. So when the new product of TECNO was launched in September, more than 3,000 units were sold on the opening day, and TECNO topped the sales list of the same day in the cell phone category of JD.ID. In addition, JD.ID has laid out more than 300 stores such as experience stores and brand partner stores to help TECNO open up offline channels.

 

In a highly competitive domestic environment, “going overseas” has become an unprecedented opportunity for many Chinese brands. It is in this context that JD.ID emerged at the right moment. Today, same-day and next-day delivery has covered 85% of Indonesia, and a set of e-commerce infrastructure has been set up locally, thus providing a fast channel of “landing” for Chinese brands going abroad for the first time.

Upholding Malaysian constitutional law from going down the slippery slope

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 29 November 2021 – Malaysian law firm Surenda Ananth Advocates & Solicitors issues a statement today on the constitutional law impact on Malaysia and Malaysians following the recent ban of 4D lottery shops in the northern state of Kedah.

 

The Chief Minister of Kedah, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor justified his actions for the state-wide ban and was reported to have said, “as a Muslim and head of state, he has the obligation to adhere to God’s instruction and he does not want to be questioned in the afterlife“.

 

Malaysian lawyer Surendra Ananth says that many may not be aware, but it was this concern that gave rise to the first written compilation of Muslim law offences in Malaya (then, the Federated States of Malaya). On 10 October 1898 in a Pahang State Council meeting, the then Sultan of Pahang urged the British Governor to assume the responsibility of drafting a Muslim law enactment.

 

The Minutes of the Proceedings of the State Council record: “His Highness says that he is growing old, and that the thought of his responsibility in this matter fills him with fear in view of the fact that he will shortly be called upon to render an account to God for all actions and of his neglect to fulfil his law. His Highness says that he feels sure that if the Government realises his position in the matter, and the immense importance which this question must have in his eyes, it will find a means of punishing such crimes as he has named, and will so relieve him of the weight of a moral responsibility which he finds himself quite unable to bear”.

 

Despite criticisms, in 1904, an enactment drafted by the British was passed in all the Federated States. It was generally called the Muhammadan Laws Enactment. There were 9 offences included and it only applied where all parties were Muslims. The number of Muslim offences increased over the years. The power of the States to make such offences was eventually codified in the Federal Constitution.

 

On 1 November, 2021, the Chief Minister of Kedah, Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor was conferred the “Dato’ Sri Paduka Mahkota Kedah” (SPMK) award, which carries the title “Datuk Seri”, by the Kedah Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah commemorating his 79th birthday.

 

On 8 November, the High Court of Malaysia ordered the newly minted Datuk Seri to pay RM50,000 to a member of parliament (MP) over a defamatory video posted on Facebook two years ago of protestors outside a Sports Toto outlet holding a banner of the MP’s name.

 

On November 17, the same Datuk Seri announced during a state assembly that the Kedah State Government had decided to ban all 4D lottery shops in the state. This was to be done through the local councils by rejecting any license renewal applications.

 

Surendra reiterates that this ban is not issued under any Islamic law. Islamic law, which is made by States, can only apply to persons professing the religion of Islam and is limited to personal law matters. The ban is implemented indirectly by directing the local councils in the state of Kedah to refuse license renewal applications by entities running lotteries.

 

“This is illegal as lotteries fall under the Federal List in the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution, which means Parliament and the Federal Government regulate lotteries and gambling. Malaysia’s Lotteries Act 1952 declares lotteries unlawful unless licensed by the Minister of Finance. Local councils can regulate such premises on limited matters such as operational hours, safety or place of business but a State cannot impose an outright ban on lotteries and gambling,” Surendra affirms.

 

“Second, and more importantly, a State authority when making a decision under a secular law applying to all persons, cannot make such decision on the basis of Islam alone. The government is a government of all people and not just Muslims,” he said.

 

On Islamic law offences, a State cannot use such laws to prohibit gambling or lotteries. The number of Islamic law offences in each state have significantly increased. As an example, in the state of Selangor, there are over 30 Islamic offences. Most of these provisions are unconstitutional. Although the state can create Islamic offences on matters against the precepts of Islam, there is an important restriction imposed by the Federal Constitution. Even if a matter is prohibited in Islam, it cannot be made an offence if the same matters fall under the Federal List.

 

“Matters such as lotteries, criminal law, public order, health and intoxicating liquors are all in the Federal List. Most of the offences introduced recently in the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code such as destroying houses of worship, tattooing, undergoing plastic surgery, making false claims etcetera, are unconstitutional. They all fall under the Federal List,” said Surendra.

 

Most if not all of the Hudud offences introduced in the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code in 2015 are unconstitutional. They include theft, robbery, adultery, sodomy, false accusation of adultery, consumption of alcohol, homicide, causing bodily injury etcetera. All these matters are under the Federal List and in fact have been made offences under federal law.

 

Putting aside the issue of legislative power, Surendra Ananth added that there are also Islamic laws that violate fundamental rights guaranteed in the Federal Constitution. He cites the case concerning Nur Sajat as a good example. In or around February 2021, an arrest warrant was issued for the Malaysian cosmetics entrepreneur who earlier that year, was charged for cross-dressing under the Selangor Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995. This provision clearly violates one’s right to dignity, self-autonomy and freedom of expression. Nur Sajat has been granted asylum in Australia. It has been reported that Malaysia is looking at an extradition request to Australia. This will most likely be rejected if it is sought on the basis of the charge in the Syariah Court. 

 

“The States’ power to make Islamic offences is limited only to personal religious offences. This is the constitutional framework. There is nothing wrong if one disagrees with this. However, what is wrong is to misrepresent and misapply the Federal Constitution.

 

It is apparent that certain state governments are expanding the role of Islam in a manner not contemplated under the Federal Constitution. Although some might disagree with the vice, condoning or supporting such bans is a slippery slope we should not go down,” concluded Surendra Ananth, a Malaysian lawyer who is passionate about creating discourse surrounding Civil Litigation, Commercial Law, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution in Malaysia.

 

Most constitutional law cases involve challenges against the government. There are not many lawyers who handle such cases. Surendra hopes that by speaking up, more lawyers will take up such challenges to ensure that the rights of the individual are protected. He was admitted to practice as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in July 2015. He appears in various public interest and civil litigation cases in all levels of the court. He is also a member of the Malaysian Bar Council.

Gojek celebrates three years in Singapore, goes the extra mile to support driver-partners

‘Go the Extra Mile’ campaign will see $1 per completed trip given back to eligible driver-partners throughout Gojek’s anniversary week

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 29 November 2021 – To mark its three-year anniversary in Singapore, Gojek today announced the launch of its ‘Go the Extra Mile’ campaign which will see $1 per completed trip given back to driver-partners  throughout its anniversary week – 29 November – 5 December[1]. The campaign aims to show appreciation to driver-partners, who have been instrumental in moving Singapore safely amid the pandemic, and builds on the more than 1 million free and discounted vaccination rides provided by Gojek in 2021.

Through the initiative, Gojek hopes to rally consumers to show their appreciation for driver-partners by taking Gojek rides to contribute more to drivers’ earnings, as well as encouraging them to show drivers some love through verbal thank-yous and their own small gestures. On top of their existing GoCar incentives, qualifying drivers will receive additional ‘Go the Extra Mile’ earnings at the end of the campaign, paid out directly to driver-partners’ earnings wallets.

 

Lien Choong Luen, General Manager of Gojek Singapore, said, “The last year has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging for us since our launch in Singapore, and we are proud to be celebrating our third anniversary in spite of the difficulties faced. One thing is for certain, we would not be here without the commitment and resilience of our driver-partners. They are the very heart of Gojek and this year’s birthday is dedicated to them.”

 

He added, “‘Go the Extra Mile’ builds on our commitment to support those within our ecosystem, and show our collective appreciation to our driver-partners. We remain more focused than ever on finding ways to support them and keep Singapore moving safely as we continue to strengthen our offering and provide better experiences for users.”

 

Going the extra mile in Singapore

 

Gojek has been an active participant in keeping the nation moving throughout this challenging period. In May, Gojek’s Vaccination Campaign automatically provided all riders with two $15 vouchers to get to and from their vaccination appointments, resulting in almost 1.1 million free rides taken, where 1 in 5 people in Singapore used Gojek vouchers to attend their vaccination appointments. 

 

As part of its continued commitment to going the extra mile to keep people safe, protect livelihoods and maintain resilience amongst driver-partners, Gojek is further doubling down on its CSR efforts in Singapore. Latest initiatives include:

  • Doubling support for SG Cares: Gojek has scaled up its Medical Transport Subsidy Scheme to all 14 SG Cares Volunteer Centres (VCs). Beyond the current 5 SG Cares VCs, Gojek is doubling its existing support to 9 additional SG Cares VCs, providing 1,000 subsidised rides for lower-income individuals to get to their medical appointments
  • Free rides for patients who have recovered from COVID-19: From 1 November to 31 December, Gojek has committed to providing 1,200 surge-free rides (capped at $20) for Community Health Assist Scheme Blue and Orange card holders, and patients with mobility needs, who have recovered from COVID-19 to help them get home safely.
