SMU law undergraduates defend Sports Law Arbitration Moot championship title in Lausanne

Victory at the Court of Arbitration for Sport reinforces SMU law school’s position on the global stage

SINGAPORE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore Management University (SMU) Yong Pung How School of Law (YPHSL) has successfully defended its title at the Sports Law Arbitration Moot (SLAM). Last week, SMU won LawInSport’s 7th annual international moot competition held at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland – the world’s highest authority for sports dispute resolution.

The win on 24 April is SMU’s second consecutive SLAM championship, having debuted and won the competition in 2025.

The winning mooters were Samantha Chong Wei En (2nd year, LLB) and Ameerul Putra Bin Abdul Wahab (3rd year, LLB). They were supported by Darius Alexander Maskun (3rd year, LLB) and Kyran Mariel Narayanan (3rd year, LLB), and coached by Jordan Chia (Class of 2024).

This year, the SMU team bested a field of 77 teams from universities across the globe, navigating written rounds and regional oral finals before advancing to the knockout rounds held before a panel of 15 CAS arbitrators on the premises of the CAS itself – a distinction that sets SLAM apart from other international moots.

The preliminary rounds tested competitors on a complex anti-doping dispute set in the fictitious sport of toe wrestling, centring on questions of athlete responsibility in supplement use. The knockout rounds presented a fresh problem involving fireball – another fictitious sport – where teams argued over whether anti-doping procedures had been properly observed. SMU’s team demonstrated command across both problem sets, combining technical legal precision with composure under pressure in one of the most demanding formats in international mooting.

Professor Lee Pey Woan, Dean of SMU YPHSL, said, “This win reflects our school’s commitment to training lawyers who can reason across complex, evolving legal landscapes – sports law being one of the fastest-growing areas of international practice. Two consecutive wins at SLAM is a testament to our students’ preparation, rigour and ability to perform at the highest level.”

In preparing for the competition, the team drew on SMU’s strong network of practitioners and real-world expertise. The students consulted Singapore’s former national runner and lawyer Goh Chui Ling, whose first-hand experience of elite sports competition brought invaluable perspective to the team’s understanding of the human dimensions of anti-doping disputes.

“Athletes experience these sporting rules not as abstractions but as lived realities – and having the SMU team bring that perspective to their championship-winning performance was incredible to witness,” said Ms Goh, who is a Switzerland-based lawyer specialising in international sports law and arbitration.

“This journey is a reminder of the collective effort required to move the needle in a specialised field like sports law in Singapore; but what excites me is the bigger picture: the seeds of expertise are being planted in our legal education system, and by sharpening this niche through both education and practice, we are doing more than just winning moots. We are reinforcing Singapore’s trajectory to be a premier hub for international sports law and arbitration,” she added.

Reflecting on the achievement, Samantha Chong, said, “I am honoured to have been blessed with this opportunity. It has been a nerve-racking, arduous, fulfilling and unforgettable journey. Competing at the actual CAS premises added a real dimension to the experience – these are the same halls where disputes involving Olympic athletes are decided. It sharpened our focus and reminded us why the arguments we were making matter. Ameerul and I could not have made it this far without the help of our coach Jordan, our professors, Ms Ling and Mr Hessert, all our judges in our practice rounds, and our indispensable teammates Kyran and Alex.”

The SLAM title follows a record-breaking season for SMU Law. In Academic Year 2024-25, the School claimed championship honours in seven competitions, including the Jessup, Vis East, Frankfurt, and International Criminal Court moots – an unprecedented haul that established SMU as having one of the most decorated moot programmes in the world.

The timing of this win is significant. Just weeks ago, SMU’s Law programme was named the most improved subject entry in Singapore in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026, rising 45 places to 56th globally in a single year. Taken together, the ranking momentum and competitive record reflect a school that is building genuine depth in scholarship, in pedagogy, and in the practical formation of its students.

Professor Lee added, “Our students’ achievements on the international stage are the clearest expression of our commitment in providing a law education that is rigorous, cutting-edge and connected to the real world.”

As YPHSL looks ahead to its 20th anniversary next year, these milestones mark not just a moment of celebration but a statement of intent — that SMU Law is competing, and winning, at the very highest levels of international legal education.

About SMU Yong Pung How School of Law’s record of excellence

A key factor driving the moot success at SMU YPHSL is the Ian R Taylor International Moots Programme, which has firmly established the law school on the global stage. This programme has nurtured generations of mooters who have earned numerous world-class accolades, enabling it to consistently excel at the most prestigious international moots.

YPHSL is consistently ranked among the top three law schools worldwide for international moots, according to the Nica.team Law School Ranking. The School is also the tournament leader in prominent competitions such as the International Criminal Court (Hague), Price Media Law (Oxford), Frankfurt Investment, Vis East (Hong Kong) and Fletcher Insolvency moots.

Sino Jet’s Fleet Size Ranks No. 1 in the Asia-Pacific for Seven Consecutive Years

HONG KONG, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Against the backdrop of deep reshuffling and restructuring in the Asia-Pacific business aviation market, Sino Jet has continued to consolidate its industry-leading position through steady development and forward-looking strategic planning. According to Asian Sky Group’s 2025 Asia-Pacific Business Jet Fleet Report, Sino Jet—operating a fleet of 43 aircraft—has ranked first among Asia-Pacific business jet operators for the seventh consecutive year. It is also the only Chinese operator among the top five to achieve positive fleet growth, reflecting strong development resilience. By the end of 2025, Sino Jet’s fleet registered overseas exceeded 30 aircraft, accounting for as much as 65%, further strengthening its capabilities for global operations and highlighting its enduring advantages.

Five Strategic Pillars Create an Uncopyable Competitive Advantage

Against the backdrop of deep restructuring in the Asia-Pacific business aviation market, Sino Jet’s continued lead is rooted in five strategic pillars: safety management, global airworthiness credentials, digital operations, a worldwide service network, and an all-scenario service ecosystem.

Safety is the lifeline of business aviation. Sino Jet is the first operator in mainland China to obtain IS-BAO Stage III—the highest global operational standard for business aviation—and has continuously passed stringent re-evaluations to secure a ten-year safety operating qualification. This certification reflects a scientifically grounded, standardized, and sustainable safety-operations framework, laying a solid foundation for every flight.

Global operations and the “fully qualified matrix” for maintenance are Sino Jet’s non-replicable key moat. The company holds dual Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the Cayman Islands Civil Aviation Authority, enabling a “domestic + overseas” dual commercial charter operating model. At the same time, it provides aircraft management and maintenance services across the major global business jet registration hubs, including China, the United States, Europe (EASA), Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and Aruba. As a result, Sino Jet is the leading company in China’s business aviation sector with the most complete operational and maintenance licensing and the broadest coverage of aircraft registration jurisdictions.

In the era of digital transformation, Sino Jet is reshaping its management paradigm through technological innovation. As a national-level high-tech enterprise, Sino Jet has independently developed the “Cloud of Sino Jet” intelligent operations platform and the “Digital Sino Jet” operations control center. By integrating core functional modules—aircraft operations, maintenance engineering, operational safety, and end-to-end integration of operations and finance—the company enables full lifecycle digital management for business jets. Its integrated operations-and-finance system provides full visibility and tracking of costs throughout the entire process, turning complex maintenance and operations into an exceptionally simple, customer-friendly experience.

Sino Jet has established operations bases in more than 20 key cities worldwide, covering regional hubs across China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Its service network extends to more than 200 countries and regions and over 1,000 airports globally. The company strategically invests in four business jet terminal (FBO) facilities in Chengdu, Nanchang, Guangzhou, and Macau, and deepens partnerships with major FBOs around the world. The establishment of its Middle East international operations headquarters in mid-2024 further consolidates intercontinental service corridors spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, and beyond.

A “Business Jet+” Ecosystem and Three-Dimensional Travel Across High and Low Altitudes—Leading the Future of the Industry

In response to the growing homogenization of services in business aviation and the deepening of customer needs, Sino Jet has proactively put forward a “Business Jet+” ecosystem strategy. This drives the company’s evolution from a business aviation service provider into an integrator of high-quality lifestyle solutions. It has already built a complete service matrix covering business jet transactions, aircraft custody/management, private charters, the operation of business jet terminals (FBOs), ground services, premium travel customization, and the cultivation of professional talent. Released in 2025, the Unionsky Curated Collection List analyzes data from more than 2,000 high-end consumption scenarios to systematically map travel consumption trends among high-net-worth individuals. By extending service scenarios from the skies to the ground in an end-to-end chain, it helps create a one-stop premium travel ecosystem.

While consolidating its traditional core business in business aviation, Sino Jet is actively embracing the national low-altitude economy strategy. Through a smart flying model combining “high-altitude + low-altitude,” the company is opening up a new growth engine, and has already laid out key regions including East China, the Greater Bay Area, Southwest China, and free-trade zones/ports. Its subsidiary, Zhejiang Low-Altitude company, successfully obtained its license in 2026 and completed its inaugural flight, entering normalized commercial operations. The company also formed a joint venture with Hainan Airport Group to establish a Hainan low-altitude mobility company, connecting the “capillaries” of three-dimensional transportation across the free-trade port. In terms of capacity reserves, Sino Jet has signed a deterministic purchase order for 50 AE200 eVTOL aircraft with AEROFUGIA, representing the largest eVTOL commercial procurement case in China by scale.

From ranking first in the Asia-Pacific by business jet fleet size for seven consecutive years, to building robust barriers with five strategic pillars, and then to forward-looking initiatives such as its “Business Jet+” ecosystem and low-altitude three-dimensional travel, Sino Jet is redefining the premium travel paradigm with a global perspective and China’s intelligence. After 15 years of deep cultivation, Sino Jet has consistently made safety its foundation, technology its engine, and service its soul. It continues to lead high-quality development in the Asia-Pacific business aviation industry, opening up new travel routes for global high-net-worth clients that are more efficient, safer, and more value-driven.

SIM Global Education Showcases Project 1095 Through Student Clubs


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2026 – As higher education continues to evolve beyond academic achievement, Singapore Institute of Management Global Education (SIM GE) is reinforcing its commitment to holistic student development through Project 1095, a strategic initiative designed to maximise every day of a student’s three-year university journey.

Built on the belief that university life extends far beyond lectures and examinations, Project 1095 represents SIM GE’s vision of a fully integrated student experience where academic learning is complemented by co-curricular engagement leadership development and personal growth. At the heart of this initiative lies a vibrant ecosystem of student clubs which play a pivotal role in shaping a meaningful and transformative university experience.

With more than 80 student led clubs across sports arts culture special interest groups and student governance SIM GE provides students with diverse opportunities to explore their passions, build communities and develop essential life skills.

A Structured Approach to Holistic Education

Project 1095 named after the 1095 days that make up a typical three-year university programme offers a structured framework that encourages students to make the most of their time on campus. Rather than viewing student life as supplementary, SIM GE positions it as an integral part of the educational journey.

Through this framework student clubs serve as practical platforms for experiential learning, enabling students to apply classroom knowledge in real world settings. Whether organising large scale campus events, leading committees or collaborating with peers from diverse backgrounds, students gain hands on experience that fosters confidence, adaptability and resilience.

Fostering Belonging in a Diverse Campus Community

Beyond skills development, student clubs are instrumental in cultivating a strong sense of belonging among SIM GE’s diverse student population. With a wide range of international cultural and interest-based groups, students can connect with like-minded peers while also broadening their perspectives through cross cultural interaction.

Project 1095 emphasises this aspect of community building, recognising that a supportive and engaging campus environment contributes significantly to overall student wellbeing and success. By participating in club activities students are encouraged to form meaningful relationships and create lasting memories throughout their university journey in SIM.

Preparing Future Ready Graduates

As employers increasingly seek graduates with strong interpersonal and leadership skills, SIM GE’s focus on co-curricular engagement aligns closely with industry expectations. Through its student clubs and Project 1095 framework, students actively take on roles such as organising campus wide events, leading club committees, managing projects and collaborating with peers across diverse backgrounds. These hands-on experiences enable students to develop critical competencies including leadership, communication, teamwork and problem solving in real world settings. For instance, students gain practical exposure by planning large scale events, coordinating with stakeholders and taking ownership of initiatives, allowing them to translate classroom knowledge into actionable skills.

Through Project 1095, SIM GE aims to produce well rounded graduates who are not only academically prepared but also equipped with confidence and global outlook needed to thrive in an evolving workforce.

Making Everyday Count

Project 1095 underscores SIM GE’s belief that university is more than earning a degree, it is about making every one of the 1095 days meaningful. By embedding student clubs and co-curricular experiences into the student journey, SIM GE delivers a holistic education that goes beyond the classroom. Through these experiences, students are empowered to grow, build connections and develop the skills needed to thrive in a dynamic global environment.

The Cohen & Steers SICAV Preferred Income Fund is now the Cohen & Steers SICAV Hybrid Credit & Income Fund, and the Cohen & Steers SICAV Short Duration Preferred Income Fund is now the Cohen & Steers SICAV Short Duration Hybrid Credit & Income Fund.

These changes do not alter the funds’ strategies. Rather, they reflect investor expectations with regard to hybrid credit strategies, mirroring feedback from clients outside the U.S. to more clearly represent the funds’ investible universe than the term “preferreds.”
