Lao authorities seized four kilograms of heroin during a joint inspection at Wattay International Airport, leading to the arrest of a 78-year-old Australian national.

The narcotics were found concealed inside the hammock and were reportedly intended to be smuggled to Taiwan, according to officials. 

The operation involved officers from the Investigation and Anti-Smuggling Division, customs officials, immigration police, and international terminal protocol staff.

This latest seizure adds to a string of major drug trafficking attempts intercepted at Wattay International Airport this year. 

In May alone, authorities confiscated more than 134 kilograms of narcotics and arrested multiple international suspects. 

Lao authorities on 29 May arrested a 70-year-old Dutch national at Wattay International Airport after finding 5.8 kilograms of heroin hidden in aluminum-lined blankets inside two travel bags.

On 27 May, Lao authorities arrested three Malaysian nationals as they attempted to smuggle 103 packages of marijuana, weighing 86 kilograms, to Germany. The suspects concealed the drugs in six suitcases. 

On 22 May, authorities detained a Bulgarian citizen after uncovering 14 kilograms of heroin packed inside animal feed and coffee bags prepared for shipment abroad. 

A day earlier, on 21 May, officers seized 31 packets of heroin, totaling 28.5 kilograms, from the luggage of a passenger from an undisclosed African nation, who had hidden the drugs in animal feed and coffee bags.

The Lao Ministry of Public Security has handled all five cases through legal proceedings.

Forvis Mazars Partners with EcoOnline in Singapore, Strengthening Sustainability & ESG Reporting

LONDON / SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2025 – Forvis Mazars, a leading international audit, tax and advisory firm, today announced a strategic partnership in Singapore with EcoOnline, a global provider of safety and sustainability software. This partnership will further enable Forvis Mazars and its clients to adopt EcoOnline’s advanced environmental, social, and governance (ESG) solution, enhancing the firm’s own suite of sustainability reporting and assurance services with a powerful, science-based technology tool.

This partnership is launched as Singapore companies have an extended timeline to navigate mandatory climate-related reporting standards from the Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). It also provides a timely solution for businesses aligning with the ambitious goals of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and its target of net-zero by 2050.

EcoOnline’s ESG software will directly support and enhance Forvis Mazars’ established sustainability services by providing clients with a robust tool for data management, calculation and reporting. With the timeline extended for most non-Straits Times Index (STI) companies, organisations can evaluate gaps and build robust capabilities and capacity to manage reporting challenges.

Key Forvis Mazars services to be augmented by the solution include:

  • Framework reporting advisory: Streamlining the collection and analysis of ESG data for global and regional reporting, fully aligned with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and other leading frameworks and standards
  • Climate risk analytics: Eliminating manual work around researching physical risk exposure and impact assessment with location-specific, science-based data for decision making
  • Carbon accounting: Utilising the solutions independently verified calculation engine to ensure Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are credible to facilitate clients’ decarbonisation journey
  • Forecasting: Providing audit-ready, science-based outputs and dynamic scenario modelling, auto-updated with live data, to help organisations confidently plan their emissions reduction strategies and evaluate multiple what-if scenarios
  • Sustainability assurance: Providing a clear, auditable trail of data that strengthens the integrity of information for both internal governance and external assurance.

EcoOnline’s ESG and Sustainability solution was designed by environmental scientists, including a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and is recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Verdantix Green Quadrant for ESG. Built for enterprise-grade complexity, based on standards such as the GHG Protocol, ISO 14064-1 and PAS 2050, it provides transparent, accurate reporting that helps organisations meet goals, reduce costs and increase overall performance.

“Although ACRA and SGX Reg Co have recently announced extended timelines for non-STI listed companies to adapt climate related disclosure, it is imperative for organisations not to pause, but take the opportunity to build capabilities to support our national net-zero agendas and be ready for mandatory assurance to improve investor confidence,” said Lai Kee Yin, Partner in Technology, Digital & Sustainability Consulting at Forvis Mazars. “We consistently hear from clients that their biggest challenge is moving beyond narrative-based reports to produce auditable, investment-grade data. Having used EcoOnline’s solution ourselves, we have firsthand confidence in its science-based approach.”

“We’re delighted to welcome Forvis Mazars Singapore into our global partner community,” commented Sean Flynn, Regional Sales Director at EcoOnline. “Their depth of sustainability expertise and advisory experience makes them a highly valued partner as organisations in Singapore – a hub for global headquarters in Asia – work to deliver on the ambitions of the Green Plan 2030 and the path to net zero by 2050. With Forvis Mazars’ insight and EcoOnline’s connected safety and sustainability suite, we can provide organisations with the tools and guidance they need to accelerate their sustainability journey. Together, we look forward to supporting businesses that share our vision of a safer, more sustainable world.”

The partnership also focuses on market awareness through educational initiatives in Singapore, including training and knowledge-sharing sessions, to help companies better understand and leverage the solution.

The integrated ESG and sustainability solution from Forvis Mazars and EcoOnline is now available to clients in Singapore.

Alpro Launches Prof. Slow to Help Malaysians Make Rice Kinder to Blood Sugar

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2025 – Nutritionists and Dietitians of Alpro Pharmacy, Malaysia’s largest prescription pharmacy chain, has introduced a clinically developed dietary solution to address one of the nation’s most pressing health challenges: diabetes. Known as Prof. Slow Smart Fibre, the functional powder lowers the glycaemic index (GI) of rice by up to 38%, allowing families to continue enjoying their staple food while keeping blood sugar levels more stable.

“Health isn’t about forcing compliance, it’s about making better options available,” said Dietitian Chua Kai Jia, Professional Care & Development Manager at Alpro Pharmacy. “With Prof. Slow, Malaysians don’t have to choose between their culture and their health. We’re giving them a way to enjoy rice while managing glucose levels more effectively.”

The launch comes at a critical time for public health in Malaysia. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023, 15.6% of Malaysian adults, roughly 1 in 6 are now living with diabetes. Earlier projections warned that by 2025, over 7 million Malaysians (or 31.3% of adults) would be affected, a figure that now appears alarmingly close. Beyond its medical toll, the economic impact is severe: a joint report by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization estimates RM9.65 billion in annual direct healthcare spending on diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, with an additional RM8.91 billion lost in productivity and absenteeism.

Diet remains a key contributor to this trend. White rice, noodles, sweetened beverages, and refined carbohydrates dominate Malaysian meals, while fibre intake remains critically low. Over 84.6% of adults consume less than the WHO’s recommended 25 grams of daily fibre, with average intake between just 6.9 — 7.8 grams. Meanwhile, over 64% of Malaysians eat at least one meal daily outside the home, where GI values and nutritional transparency are rarely available, making blood sugar management even more difficult.

Healthcare professionals have underscored the importance of complementary solutions alongside medication. “With 1 in 6 Malaysians now living with diabetes, it is crucial to combine lifestyle changes with prescribed medications,” said Dr. Wong Poh Shean, Consultant Endocrinologist in Internal Medicine at Hospital Tuanku Ja’afar Seremban and Vice President of Diabetes Malaysia (Negeri Sembilan). “In order to ensure the sustainability of good dietary habits, practical approaches to food are essential. This will allow patients to continue to enjoy staple foods like rice.”

Prof. Slow is part of Alpro’s wider commitment to preventive healthcare through nutrition. The range also includes W-Cookies, a fibre-enriched snack at just 50 kcal per serving, and Chia Seed Peanut Butter Jam, a natural spread made with no added salt, sugar, or artificial flavouring. While not intended as medical treatment, these products are designed to support healthier food routines, particularly for individuals managing blood sugar or reducing glycaemic load.

Together, these solutions address Malaysia’s nutritional gaps, making balanced living both accessible and sustainable. Prof. Slow products are now available at all Alpro Pharmacy, Alpro Sugiスギ Pharmacy, and BMS Organics.

The TuniTuni program is designed to nurture not only children’s physical development but also their cognitive and social-emotional growth. Its unique curriculum combines storytelling, movement, and imaginative play, with fresh themes introduced weekly to keep children engaged and inspired.

TuniTuni is already a trusted name in South Korea, where one in six children has experienced its programs. Building on this strong foundation, the brand chose Thao Dien — a lively community known for young families and international schools — as the location for its first center in Vietnam.

To celebrate the opening, families who enroll by September 21st will receive a 15% discount.

TuniTuni has also gained strong momentum in other international markets. In Hong Kong, high demand has led to waiting lists of more than 300 children, with a third center set to open this November. In Malaysia, the brand recently launched its second center in Bukit Jalil. In the U.S., a newly opened center in Fort Lee, New Jersey earned an average parent satisfaction rating of 9.8 out of 10 during pilot classes.
