KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 June 2025 – Stuck in traffic under the scorching sun, and unpredictable weather — this is the daily reality for thousands of food delivery partners across Malaysia. In an effort to power delivery riders and support their livelihoods, Leonhart Coffee — a European high-energy coffee brand — has teamed up with foodpanda Malaysia to distribute its signature beverages, Leonhart High Caffeine Coffee Mix and High Caffeine Hot Chocolate, to foodpanda delivery partners.

Held in conjunction with foodpanda’s Bag Exchange programme at foodpanda Riders Hub in Southgate Commercial Centre, Kuala Lumpur, the initiative is designed to help them stay energised and alert on the job — enabling them to boost deliveries, maximise earning potential, and maintain peak performance despite the long and demanding shifts.

According to Mr. S. Allan, founder of Leonhart Coffee, food delivery riders are the engine of the food delivery ecosystem — consistently pushing through their shifts, traffic, and uncertain weather conditions to deliver orders. He added that the initiative reflects Leonhart’s mission to equip riders with the energy and mental clarity needed to take charge of their day and deliver at their best.

“At Leonhart, we believe mastering your day starts with more than just a caffeine kick — it’s about stamina, spirit, and showing up for what matters. Our beverages are formulated with the energising power of caffeine and the calming benefits of Ashwagandha. Unlike other energy drinks, Leonhart’s beverage provides a sustained boost of energy without the jitters or caffeine crash to energise and refresh, helping riders stay alert and focused throughout their busy shifts,” explained Mr Allan.

Shubham Saran, Director of Operations, foodpanda Malaysia, who was present during the handover ceremony of Leonhart Coffee packs, expressed his gratitude towards Leonhart Coffee’s meaningful initiative that supports the riders’ well-being and safety.

“We are grateful for the collaboration with Leonhart Coffee. As part of our panda heart initiative, we are always looking for partners that can support us to uplift and support our

delivery partners. We recognise the important role our delivery partners play in the ecosystem and it is our responsibility to ensure that they thrive in their roles. We hope that they feel valued, supported and empowered so they feel good about working with us. We hope that this partnership will give the riders a boost to operate confidently while carrying out their shift,” added Saran.

What began as an initiative to celebrate and uplift foodpanda riders also revealed the inspiring faces and stories behind the helmets — individuals from all walks of life, each navigating their own unique journeys. While the nature of the job comes with its challenges, including staying vigilant on the road, many riders shared that alertness is key to ensuring their safety. Above all, each story reflects a spirit of resilience — of adapting, persevering, and moving forward with determination.

For Muhammad Azril, being a rider is a choice rooted in love and responsibility — one that allows him to support his growing family while enjoying the flexibility he once sought after leaving his job as a personal driver. While long hours and time on the road come with their share of challenges, Azril has embraced the journey with resilience, adapting to his new role and pressing forward with determination each day.

“There are days when I get home at 11pm and start again the next day by 7am,” shared Muhammad. “It can be tiring, but I do it because my family depends on me.” After trying Leonhart, Azril noticed a difference. “I felt more alert and energised. The bold taste gave me the boost I needed to keep going throughout the day,” he said.

Former lorry driver Vasanth Kumar has been part of the foodpanda family for eight years, taking on the role to supplement his income and enjoy more quality time with his loved ones. Each day, he delivers more than 40 orders — a responsibility he embraces as part of his commitment to building a better future for his family while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

“The road can be unpredictable, but I keep going because my family depends on me — and this job gives me the flexibility to be present for them,” shared Vasanth. “To stay sharp during long hours, I’ll sometimes grab a cup of coffee. Leonhart’s rich taste really helps keep me energised.”

At 28, Ye Junhong made a bold move — leaving behind the high-pressure world of sales to embrace a more flexible and independent path as a foodpanda rider. Today, he works about eight hours a day, taking short breaks to stay refreshed and focused on the road.

“When you’re riding, staying alert is everything,” he shared. “It’s important to be fully present, especially on busy roads.” Junhong is eager to try Leonhart’s beverage, appreciating that it offers both a strong boost and a calming effect — helping him stay focused.

Whether you’re on the road, at the desk, or chasing your goals — Leonhart is here to fuel your everyday hustle, representing its fundamental philosophy: Master Your Day. Priced at RM16.97, the Leonhart High Caffeine Coffee Mix (15 sticks X 18g) and High Caffeine Hot Chocolate (15 sticks X 18g) are available at selected supermarkets such as Aeon, Isetan, and Lulu, as well as e-commerce stores including Lazada.com.my, Shopee.com.my, and TikTok.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 June 2025 – The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the world’s foremost authority in gemology announced a redefinition in diamond grading on June 2, 2025. Beginning at the end of 2025, GIA will cease using the internationally recognized 4Cs grading system (Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat) for lab-grown diamonds. Instead, GIA will implement a new descriptive grading system that lab-grown diamonds submitted to GIA will receive simplified descriptors—categorized broadly as either “premium” or “standard” or no grade at all if the quality is subpar. This transformative change marks a historic shift in the global diamond industry, not only redefining the value perception of lab-grown diamonds but also enhancing the differentiation between natural and lab-grown diamonds.

This initiative is not merely a terminology adjustment; it represents a systematic effort to separate the grading systems for lab-grown and natural diamonds. As a non-profit organization, GIA emphasizes the fundamental differences between the two, including their formation processes, physical characteristics, and market values. According to Tom Moses, GIA Executive Vice President and Chief Laboratory and Research Officer, “More than 95% of lab-grown diamonds entering the market fall into a very narrow range of color and clarity. Because of that, it is no longer relevant for GIA to describe man-made diamonds using the nomenclature created for the continuum of color and clarity of natural diamonds.”

Reaffirming the Unique Value of Natural Diamonds

This revision of grading standards is another milestone following GIA’s abandonment of the term “Synthetic” and its move to describe lab-grown diamonds in relation to natural diamond standards. GIA created the 4Cs—cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight—as a rigorous system to help consumers understand the unique and qualities of natural diamonds. With the new lab-grown diamond grading system, the core value of natural diamonds—rarity and emotional attributes are further emphasized.

No two natural diamonds are exactly alike. Every natural diamond is unique, characterized by its distinct growth patterns, inclusions, and colour formed over billions of years. These nature’s treasures, formed deep within the Earth, are considered valuable collectibles due to their beauty, rarity and non-renewability. They symbolize values associated with love, commitment, and eternity, while also contributing to the social and economy welfare of the diamond mining communities through responsible mining practices.

In contrast, lab-grown diamonds are man-made and mass-produced using high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes. Their industrial nature limits their ability to embody the multiple values associated with natural diamonds, including emotional attributes, rarity, investment potential, and heritage. GIA’s reform not only reaffirms the irreplaceable status of natural diamonds but also clarifies that lab-grown diamonds should not be assessed using the same criteria as natural diamonds.

Ensuring Consumer Awareness and Transparency

Over time, some lab-grown diamond sellers have been using ambiguous marketing terms such as “sustainability” and “equivalency” that may mislead consumers about the differences between lab-grown and natural diamonds. GIA’s new approach ensures consumers can make informed choices without confusion, protecting their rights to knowledge, choice, and fair trade. By discontinuing the use of the 4Cs standard for lab-grown diamonds, GIA reaffirms its commitment to scientific integrity and public transparency.

GIA’s grading redefinition is poised to have a profound impact on the global jewellery industry. As this change takes effect by the end of 2025, it is anticipated that gemological institutes worldwide will follow suit. The boundaries between natural and lab-grown diamonds are clearly defined through GIA’s new grading standards.

This streamlined process drastically reduces error rates and administrative workload, enabling payroll to be executed efficiently in just two simple steps: export and upload.

Vietnam is first market in Southeast Asia to embrace Click to Pay, offering unmatched convenience, security, and efficiency in e-commerce transactions.

HCMC, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 June 2025 – Visa, a world leader in digital payments, is introducing its issuer-offered Click to Pay solution to the market. Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB), Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank), JSC Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank), Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank), and Vietnam Prosperity Joint-Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank) have been the pioneer banks in adopting the solution. For Techcombank and VPBank, Visa cardholders can experience the solution starting today. On the acceptance side, Click to Pay has been adopted by Ngan Luong Payment Gateway JSC (Alepay Gateway), and VietUnion Online Services Corporation (Payoo), Sai Gon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank), and Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank).

Click to Pay simplifies online payments by allowing cardholders to complete transactions with just a few clicks, without needing to enter lengthy card and shipping information. It provides consumers with a fast, secure and convenient checkout experience with global acceptance, as Click to Pay is now enabled in even more places where cardholders want to shop online.

According to Visa’s Green Shoots Radar survey, which surveyed 1,000 Vietnamese online, 99% of surveyed consumers had shopped online in the last 12 months[1], highlighting the rapid expansion of Vietnam’s e-commerce sector. By using an email address or mobile number to verify identity, shoppers can bypass the traditional checkout process, eliminating the need to enter extensive details. Additionally, Click to Pay utilizes cutting-edge technology and global security standards to enhance the safety of information and transactions, providing cardholders with greater peace of mind when making online payments. Click to Pay not only saves time for customers but also reduces cart abandonment rates, benefiting both consumers and retailers.

“Visa is committed to driving innovation in the payments landscape and enabling a seamless, secure, and convenient online shopping experience for consumers. With e-commerce being so ubiquitous in everyday Vietnamese life and in line with the Vietnamese government’s digitization goals, we are excited to bring this innovative solution to Vietnamese consumers through the support of our key banking partners. Click to Pay with Visa will transform the way people shop online, preparing them for the future of a more connected digital economy,” said Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos.

Click to Pay is now available to Techcombank and VPBank Visa cardholders to enroll via the issuer’s banking app or participating online merchants. Consumers can look for the Click to Pay icon at participating online merchants both domestically and abroad to enjoy a faster, more secure, and convenient checkout experience.

In Vietnam, Visa has partnered with Payoo – a payment platform serving as a key intermediary for online retail networks – to integrate Click to Pay across Payoo’s merchant ecosystem. Participating partners include KOI Thé, UrBox Trading, AEONESHOP, Galaxy Cinema, ACFC, Maison Online, NEM, Elsa English, GearVN, Vietrace365, Hop on Hop off, among others. In the near future, Visa cardholders who use Click to Pay at Payoo-affiliated merchants will enjoy exclusive promotional offers, helping to accelerate the shift toward a more seamless and cashless shopping experience.

Shoppers on platforms such as LG Electronics Vietnam, British Council, PVI Insurance, PropertyGuru Vietnam (batdongsan.com), Mai Nguyen Electronics, and Triumph International Vietnam can enjoy frictionless transactions, as payments are processed through the Alepay Gateway, provided by Ngan Luong Payment Gateway JSC. More merchants are expected to participate in the coming months.

Click to Pay is designed to transform digital checkouts and meet EMVCo standards. It utilises the Visa Token Service (VTS) to provide multiple layers of advanced security, enhancing authorization rates and reducing fraud in digital commerce. By replacing sensitive card information, such as the 16-digit Primary Account Numbers (PANs), with tokens, VTS can reduce fraud by 58%[2] and increase authorization rates by an average of 2.5% in Asia Pacific[3], compared to PAN-based card-not-present (CNP) transactions. Click to Pay with Visa simplifies the checkout experience for customers – it’s like contactless payments in-store, but for online shopping.
