SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – Parents know that good gut health matters, but terms like gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel overwhelming and difficult to understand. This World Digestive Health Day (WDHD), Friso, a leading nutrition formula milk brand with over 150 years of Dutch dairy expertise, is simplifying the science behind digestion by bringing to life the concept of a “gut garden” through the sixth edition of its long-standing Good Poop Matters, Baby! campaign.

Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, Friso aims to help families better understand how everyday habits and nutrition can nurture a healthy digestive system in young children. Over the years, the national campaign has emphasised the important roles a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep play in helping young children achieve good poop – and this year’s edition spotlights what happens inside the gut, empowering parents with practical ways to support good digestion from within.

Breaking Down the Science of Gut Health

While many parents recognise the importance of good gut health, concepts such as gut microbiota, prebiotics, and probiotics can often feel complex and difficult to grasp.

To bridge this gap, Friso brings these ideas to life with The Secret Garden to Good Poop. Much like a garden, a child’s gut needs the right balance of nutrients to thrive. Through this “gut garden” concept, Friso aims to help families better understand everyday habits and the role nutrition plays in nurturing a healthy digestive system, empowering parents with practical knowledge and simple steps to support their child’s digestion and overall wellbeing.

“At Friso, we believe good gut health plays a foundational role in a child’s growth and development. Through The Secret Garden to Good Poop, we aim to simplify complex concepts like gut microbiota into something parents can easily understand,” said Carmen Lim, Brand and Digital Manager, Friso Singapore. “Through an immersive garden experience, we bring Good Poop Matters, Baby! to life, educating families on gut health and showing how daily care and nutrition nurture good digestion, helping build trust from the inside out.”

Bringing The Secret Garden to Good Poop to Life

To celebrate WDHD, Friso will host The Secret Garden to Good Poop, an invite-only experiential event held in partnership with The Sundowner, a nature experience centre located at Bukit Timah Fire Station. Invitees will be guided through a curated programme focused on foundational gut health education, including a farm-to-table pizza making workshop that encourages children to “eat the rainbow”, bringing the ‘gut garden’ concept to life.

“At The Sundowner, we’ve always believed in creating meaningful, nature-led experiences that reconnect families with where their food comes from,” said Clarence Chua, Founder, The Sundowner. “Partnering with Friso for The Secret Garden to Good Poop allows us to bring this philosophy to life in a way that is both fun and educational, helping our participants understand the connection between nature, nutrition, and gut health through hands-on activities.”

As part of the experience, parents will also gain insights from registered dietitian, Sherllie Kartika, on how to support their child’s gut health through everyday nutrition and habits.

Said Sherllie, “Many parents recognise the importance of gut health but may feel overwhelmed by terms like microbiota or pre/probiotics. Using a ‘gut garden’ analogy can make the concept more approachable, helping parents visualise how everyday habits, such as offering a variety of foods, help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut. When children’s digestive systems are supported in this way, they are better able to digest and absorb the nutrients needed for healthy growth and development.”

Friso‘s Commitment to Care Takes Flight to the Netherlands

As part of its broader commitment to children’s gut health, Friso also highlights the role careful milk processing can play in supporting digestion. It was found that high heat treatment can change the structure of milk protein, potentially affecting how easily they are digested. In contrast, gentler processing (or mild heat treatment) approaches may help preserve milk protein closer to its natural state, so it is easy to digest.

This philosophy came to life during a recent trip to the Netherlands, where local singer-songwriter Derrick Hoh and content creator Jeanette Ong visited Friso’s farms, R&D facilities, and production sites to better understand how the brand approaches milk production and nutritional care from source to formula.

A Continued Commitment to Gut Health

Since its launch in 2020, Friso’s Good Poop Matters, Baby! has been leading advocate for children’s gut health in Singapore. Through education, partnerships, and engaging experiences over the years, the campaign has helped parents better understand the role of digestion in their child’s overall wellbeing.

THIMPHU, BHUTAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – In a landmark collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Skills Development (MoESD) of Bhutan and the EtonHouse International Education Group, EtonHouse Bhutan International School will open its doors as the nation’s first international K–12 school in Academic Year 26/27, marking a milestone that underscores Bhutan’s commitment to building human capital for a rapidly evolving global economy.

Founded in Singapore over 30 years ago, EtonHouse today operates over 100 schools across eight countries, and is widely recognised for its inquiry-led approach to international education.

The partnership positions EtonHouse as a long-term education partner to Bhutan, focused on listening, learning, and co-creating a school experience that honours Bhutanese culture and strengthens capability within the region. Professional development and education conferences will support collaboration among educators across Bhutan, enabling professional exchange and high-quality practice, contributing to a strong, future-ready pedagogical landscape.

A shared vision for Bhutan’s future education landscape

EtonHouse Bhutan aligns with the Royal Government’s vision to nurture world-class talent through greater access to high-quality international education. The school is designed to develop globally competent learners rooted in Bhutan’s cultural heritage and the principles of Gross National Happiness. This partnership reflects Singapore’s enduring contribution to international education, sharing a model that harmonises academic rigour with Asian values, creativity and innovation, advancing Bhutan’s long-term educational aspirations.

The school will offer a seamless K–12 pathway for over 500 students. In the Early Years, children will experience the EtonHouse Inquire. Think. Learn curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Primary students will engage in the International Primary Curriculum alongside Singapore Mathematics and UK-aligned core subjects, progressing to the Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE and International A Level qualifications from Cambridge. Bhutanese History and Dzongkha remain integral, complemented by a multilingual language programme offering English, Dzongkha and Mandarin, alongside a strong emphasis on STEM, sustainability and holistic wellbeing.

“The Ministry of Education and Skills Development has entered into a landmark partnership with EtonHouse International Education Group to establish an international school in Bhutan, a significant milestone in the nation’s ongoing education reform, guided by His Majesty’s vision for a future-ready and globally competitive education landscape.

The initiative will provide Bhutanese students with access to internationally benchmarked learning opportunities while ensuring the deep integration of local knowledge, culture, and values into the curriculum. It seeks to create a dynamic platform for young Bhutanese to experience world-class education within the country, reducing the need to pursue such opportunities abroad and thereby strengthening Bhutan’s human capital for the future.

Beyond enhancing access to quality education, the partnership aims to strengthen national education capacity and bolster Bhutan’s attractiveness to skilled professionals and international institutions, positioning the Kingdom as an emerging hub for world-class learning,” said Mr Tshewang C. Dorji, Secretary of the Ministry of Education & Skills Development.

“Establishing Bhutan’s first international school marks a defining moment for education in the Kingdom. As a global education group, we bring internationally recognised standards and access to a worldwide learning network that connects students and educators across countries. Through the EtonHouse Global Classroom, students engage with peers across our international network, gaining global perspectives through shared learning and cultural understanding. Our ambition is to build a globally engaged school in Bhutan that expands opportunities and contributes to long-term national development.” said Mr Ng Yi-Xian, Group CEO of the EtonHouse International Education Group.

Creating Opportunities for Students and Advancing Educator Excellence

A dedicated scholarship scheme will provide full tuition sponsorship to up to ten outstanding Bhutanese students, reinforcing the school’s commitment to accessibility and national talent development.

EtonHouse will leverage its membership in the Reggio Children International Network to provide preschool educators in Bhutan with access to internationally recognised Reggio Children expertise, professional learning and regional educator exchange, strengthening teaching practice across the region.

A campus that celebrates Bhutanese identity and global perspective

“The design and curriculum of EtonHouse Bhutan pay homage to Bhutan’s cultural roots while opening doors to the world. Every space has been conceived to inspire curiosity, reflection, and innovation, echoing the nation’s aspiration to educate its youth for both local contribution and global engagement.” said Evelyn Tay, CEO of EtonHouse International Education Group, Singapore and EtonHouse Bhutan International School.

The purpose-built campus reflects a thoughtful fusion of traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship and contemporary collegiate design. Learning environments are designed in calm, neutral tones, reflecting the EtonHouse approach to inquiry-led, child-centered learning.

Students will have access to facilities including:

• Research and Innovation Centre, integrating the Library, STEAM and ICT to support inquiry, experimentation and interdisciplinary learning
• Dedicated Science Laboratories, designed for hands-on learning across Biology, Chemistry and Physics
• Cultural Learning Spaces, honouring Bhutanese History and Dzongkha as integral parts of the curriculum
• Multipurpose Sports Hall, supporting physical development, teamwork and wellbeing
• Dedicated Performing Arts Studio, enabling expression through music, drama and movement
• Reggio-inspired Ateliers, where children explore ideas through the hundred languages of expression, including light, sound, clay, mark-making and natural materials

A Fully Managed, “Zero-Subscription, Local-First” Runtime Environment Built for Professionals to Reclaim Data Sovereignty and Eliminate Workplace Frictions

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – As generative Artificial Intelligence shifts from “passive chatbots” to “active, autonomous digital agents”, the global tech landscape is entering the age of Software 3.0. Today, Sentimento Technologies, a leading tech studio in Hong Kong, is delighted to announce the official launch of MonoClaw—the city’s first managed, local AI runtime environment engineered specifically for professionals and small to medium businesses.

MonoClaw deploys a dedicated personal AI secretary named “Mona” with agentic workflows. By hosting large language models (LLMs) directly on the user’s own Mac hardware, the system delivers absolute sensitive data privacy, eliminates monthly subscription bills, and offers a seamless, plug-and-play workplace experience. Equipped with 160 pre-bundled professional skills out of the box, operating as a versatile digital secretary, Mona is built to take over time-consuming, repetitive business workflows, allowing professionals across all sectors to explore and unlock new operational efficiencies. Beyond the office, Mona integrates effortlessly into personal life—managing calendars, tracking family chores, and streamlining personal administrative tasks with white-glove precision.

Versatile Applications: Unlocking Human Productivity

MonoClaw is an end-to-end productivity multiplier that masterfully handles both core professional tasks and personal administrative loads. Operating across multiple communication channels, it automatically monitors and captures action items and promises buried inside WhatsApp, Telegram, and your inbox—proactively drafting response templates and flagging pending deliverables before deadlines hit.

At dawn, Mona filters out the noise from your chaotic notifications, calendar entries, and unread mail to generate a concise, structured morning briefing complete with high-priority recommendations. Backed by absolute security, MonoClaw orchestrates precise background workflows—such as web form automation, multi-platform social media pacing, and seamless data shifting across systems—all while remaining anchored to explicit approval boundaries that save users from tedious digital labour.

Three Pillars of Innovation

1. Absolute Data Sovereignty & Local Processing: MonoClaw securely manages core contextual memory, session history, and sensitive credentials on the user’s local device. To support high-performance workloads while respecting data privacy, the system utilizes a default secret redaction mechanism and an isolated local runtime profile. This architecture allows users to seamlessly leverage external cloud capabilities and filtered subprocess environments for risky host operations—such as web searches or specific cloud-model completions—while maintaining a secure, locally controlled baseline for sensitive data.
2. Zero-Subscription, Zero-Token Asset Investment: By utilizing premier local inference deployment options (such as Gemma 4 via LM Studio), Sentimento introduces a permanent “one-time software license” model. This fundamentally shifts a company’s IT overhead from an endless operational expense (OPEX) into a controllable, high-value capital asset (CAPEX), eliminating the pricing unpredictability of cloud token billing.
3. Auditable Automation via “Human-in-the-Loop” Approval Gates: Automation does not mean losing control. MonoClaw places safety at its core by enforcing hard command boundaries and filtered subprocess environments for all risky host operations, data mutations, or external commands. Mona proactively pushes confirmation requests to the user via Telegram, WhatsApp, or email, executing tasks only upon explicit “one-click approval”—perfectly balancing autonomous efficiency with real-world risk management.

The Visionary Shift

Mr. Billy Zuo, Co-founder and CEO of Sentimento Technologies, stated: “We are currently witnessing a global wave of adoption for AI secretaries and AI employees, which signifies a paradigm shift in software from manual human operation to AI Autonomous Execution—ushering in the Software 3.0 era. The debut of MonoClaw marks a benchmark for this transformation here in Hong Kong. We have observed that while more businesses embrace cloud-based AI, they often fall into the Privacy Anxiety over data leakage and the Cost Black Hole of the SaaS model. To solve this, MonoClaw strictly adheres to a Local-First principle, ensuring that core data sovereignty is fully returned to the business’s local terminal. At the same time, by combining increasingly mature edge-inference technology, we break the shackles of endless subscriptions and respond to the market’s demand for cost predictability through a one-time licensing model, helping Hong Kong enterprises achieve true technological transformation while ensuring security and cost control.”

Pricing, Hardware Configuration, and Installation

The MonoClaw permanent software license is priced at a one-time fee of HK$28,888 (with a limited-time early bird special price of HK$25,888[1]), structured under a payment milestone of “a 40% deposit + 60% upon final delivery and verification.” The Sentimento team handles the full set of localized installation, system integration, and skill validation services. In terms of hardware configuration, users only need to purchase an Apple Mac mini M4 or iMac M4 (or above) to enjoy smooth local inference performance. Furthermore, the product comes with a comprehensive Wiki and dedicated community support, ensuring enterprise or individual users have thorough maintainability and a continuous optimization pathway post-deployment, making an asset-based technology upgrade effortless.

SEREMBAN, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 May 2026 – Mahsuri Food Sdn. Bhd. (“Mahsuri”), a local halal sauces and condiments manufacturer, officially launched its new factory in Bandar Enstek, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, on 22 May 2026. The opening marks a pivotal milestone in Mahsuri’s strategic efforts to scale its production capabilities, enhance production efficiency, and support the brand’s growth across domestic and regional markets.

The opening ceremony was officiated by YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Aminuddin bin Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan. The event was also attended by key dignitaries, including YB Teo Kok Seong, Chairman of the Industry and Non-Islamic Affairs Action Committee; Dato’ Haji Najimuddin Sharif bin Sarimon, Chief Executive Officer of Invest Negeri Sembilan; Puan Surayu binti Susah, Executive Director, Manufacturing Development (Source), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA); Dato’ Husam bin Musa, Chairman of Tabung Haji Properties; Dato’ Mohd Roslan bin Mahyuddin, Non-Executive Director of Mahsuri Food Sdn. Bhd. and Mr. Vincent Wong, President – APAC, Lee Kum Kee Sauce.

Spanning approximately 45,000 square metres, the new Mahsuri production facility is designed as a modern manufacturing hub dedicated to producing Mahsuri sauces, including soy sauce and oyster sauce. Equipped with state-of-the-art production lines and advanced processing capabilities, the plant supports fully automated manufacturing processes and consistent product quality—from preparation to bottling and packing—under stringent quality controls. This milestone reinforces Mahsuri’s long-term commitment to expanding production capacity, strengthening quality standards, and ensuring that every product it produces continues to earn and maintain consumer trust.

Delivering on Consumer Trust and Quality with an Uncompromising Halal Integrity

YAB Dato’ Seri Utama Haji Aminuddin bin Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, said in his opening speech, “Mahsuri’s new factory will not only support the domestic market, but will also robustly strengthen export capabilities, positioning Negeri Sembilan as a key hub within the global halal supply chain.”

Dato’ Mohd Roslan Mahyuddin, Non-Executive Director of Mahsuri Food Sdn. Bhd., said, “Mahsuri has long been a symbol of trust to consumers. With this new facility, we want to ensure that the products consistently meet the highest expectations from consumers in terms of taste, quality, food safety and strict halal compliance.”

Revolutionary Technology to Automate Soy Sauce Production

One of the key features of Mahsuri’s new facility is the introduction of a Rotary Koji Making Machine in soy sauce production. This advanced technology enables precise control of temperature, humidity and ventilation during koji production – an important step in the natural fermentation for soy sauce. By improving process precision and stability, this technology will significantly enhance production consistency, operational efficiency, and overall soy sauce quality, anchoring Mahsuri’s position at the forefront of modern and competitive halal food manufacturing.

Mahsuri is dedicated to providing high quality Halal products to consumers, from the selection of raw materials, process control, hygiene and storage to the final product that reaches consumers. The new factory has successfully secured halal certification from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), as well as BPJPH Halal Certification from Indonesia. Both are world’s globally recognised Halal standards, providing consumers the utmost confidence that Mahsuri products are manufactured in a strictly controlled and pristine environment.

Beyond production, the factory creates employment opportunities for the locals by developing skilled workers in specialised fields, including quality assurance, research and development, factory operations and technical support.

Looking ahead, this new factory will serve as a bedrock for Mahsuri’s future expansion, while strengthening Malaysia’s capability to export premium quality Halal sauce products to key international markets, including Southeast Asia, the Middle East and India.

The successful development of this factory was facilitated by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), an agency under the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), which provided invaluable guidance, licensing facilitation and coordination throughout the establishment process.

The Negeri Sembilan State Government, through Invest Negeri Sembilan, acted as a one-stop centre in connecting Mahsuri with relevant state agencies. This seamless cooperation and state bodies ensure an orderly development process, driving the growth of the local food manufacturing sector and fueling the economic advancement of Negeri Sembilan.
