Coding and trading: a lift to a better future
As a globally regulated and trusted broker, Octa envisages trading as a universal opportunity. If used correctly, it can become a metaphorical lift to help traders improve their financial outcomes and social standing. The same goes to coding—a profession where dedication and hard work often outweigh educational background, allowing for unique opportunities for growth.

In Malaysia, a study found that a notable 48.4% adopt a fatalistic view regarding wealth and success. To turn this trend, Octa broker strives to provide new drivers of success for wide audiences via e-brokerage services—and now via coding as well.

Social lift: Octa broker’s free bootcamp

In 2024, Octa broker and Ideas International’s STATUS 200 bootcamp showed that with targeted support, hard work can bring tangible results in several months. Shortly after graduation, several bootcamp participants made their first serious steps in the coding industry:

  • several students engaged in paid, commissioned web development projects on a freelance basis after completing Stage 2
  • three students were offered internships in the field
  • one student with no prior teaching experience became a coding teacher
  • one student applied for a computer science scholarship in Australia.

Throughout its 14 years in the financial markets, Octa broker has emphasised the importance of continuous learning for trading success. It is there that coding and trading seem to have a lot in common. By incrementally improving their skillset, analysing their mistakes, and realistically approaching their short-term and long-term goals, both new traders and aspiring coders can significantly improve their financial and social outcomes and unlock their potential.

As skill-based pursuits popular in the modern globalised and digitalised world, both trading and coding present a valuable opportunity to step up in life regardless of social and educational background. To empower traders, Octa provides them with a seamless trading environment—a comprehensive array of tools that complement each other, enabling continuous improvement and better results.

Octa’s Bootcamp 2.0
Octa and Ideas International’s free coding bootcamp 2025 will bring together young Malaysian men and women who are passionate about coding but have never had the chance to launch their careers in the field.

Octa’s long-standing charity partner, Ideas International, is a holistic school that empowers students to become contributing citizens who can succeed in an ever-changing world. Among other projects, the school carries out joint initiatives with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees.

Since the launch of “Ink Cartridge Recycling Program” in 2009, Canon Hong Kong has invited the beloved local cartoon character, McDull, to serve as the program ambassador. With the ambition of cultivating the environmental awareness of the next generation, the program was extended to the education sector in 2011, calling on support from primary and secondary schools in the annual competition. Now in its 14th year, the program has received overwhelming responses from more than 300 organizations, housing estates, shopping malls, supermarkets and schools, all helping to set up recycling boxes to encourage the public to recycle used inkjet printer cartridges (all brands are welcome). To deepen students’ understanding and engagement with environmental issues, Canon Hong Kong has organized over 200 environmental seminars for participating schools, reaching over 70,000 students with messages about recycling and sustainable development. As of June 2025, over 285,000 ink cartridges were collected. The recycled ink cartridges were dismantled, while the metals and plastics were being recycled into raw materials for other products.

In the welcome speech at the ceremony, Mr. Gary Lee, President and CEO of Canon Hong Kong, affirmed the winning schools for their exemplar dedication in promoting recycling.

After the ceremony, Canon Hong Kong arranged a “Imaging for Fun” workshop for the students. The interactive experience combining photography and printing allowed the students to learn the basic photography skills, capture creative images and print their work on-site. This helped them to discover the joy of visual storytelling while extending environmental education to creative learning.

These two activities added a joyful and lively atmosphere, bringing the award ceremony to a successful and memorable close.

From Manila to CUHK: How One Student’s Journey Challenges Traditional Education Paths


HONg KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 July 2025 – Growing up with regular family trips to Hong Kong, Charles Henry Faustino TAN never imagined he would one day call the city his second home. Now a final-year Professional Accountancy student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), his story represents a shifting trend in Southeast Asian students seeking alternatives to traditional Western education destinations.

Breaking from Convention

Charles’ path to CUHK came through serendipity. “My mother discovered CUHK during our university search,” he recalls. “At the time, I knew little about its rankings or standing.” What began as a last-minute application transformed into a defining choice, as Charles found himself drawn to CUHK’s unique offerings – from its collegiate system to its sprawling green campus. His story reflects a growing trend among today’s students who are looking beyond university rankings to seek institutions that offer a more holistic educational experience.

Redefining Professional Education

Charles’ experience challenges common misconceptions about accountancy education. “Everyone, including me at one point, thought Professional Accountancy was just business mathematics,” he reflects. “It’s actually an international language and an art form.” This perspective highlights the evolving nature of professional education in Asia, where traditional number-crunching roles are being transformed into strategic business positions.

Beyond Classroom Walls

Through the Co-op@CUHK programme, Charles gained invaluable industry exposure as a Financial Planning and Analysis Trainee at one of Hong Kong’s prominent car retailers. The experience challenged him to apply classroom theories to real business scenarios – from market analysis to financial reporting. “What struck me most was seeing how our academic concepts directly influence million-dollar decisions,” Charles shares. Working in a predominantly Cantonese-speaking environment, he initially worried about communication barriers. “The language barrier was definitely challenging,” he acknowledges. “But it became an opportunity to develop cross-cultural communication skills essential in today’s global workplace.”

Moreover, his technical skills and adaptability soon proved more valuable than language proficiency. “My supervisors were more interested in my analytical capabilities and fresh perspectives,” he notes. The internship not only enhanced his professional skills but also gave him a realistic preview of working in Hong Kong’s dynamic business sector – an experience that has shaped his career aspirations.

Building Bridges

Now in his final semester, Charles has taken on an unexpected role as a cultural ambassador. Noting the limited awareness of CUHK in the Philippines, he’s working to bridge this information gap. “There’s a misconception that studying abroad means going to the West,” he explains. “Hong Kong offers a unique blend of Eastern and Western influences, plus proximity to home – it’s only 2.5 hours away.”

Embracing campus diversity: Charles (center), together with members of The Philippine United Student Organisation, hosts a Filipino Night Market Event on campus. Such events exemplify CUHK's vibrant international community where students from across Asia and beyond share their cultural heritage while forming lasting friendships.

Campus Life Reimagined

CUHK’s sprawling campus – unusual in space-conscious Hong Kong – has created unexpected opportunities for community building. “I’ve seen wild boars, snakes, and monkeys on campus,” Charles laughs. “It’s like a tiny zoo.” These experiences, combined with the university’s collegiate system, have fostered a distinctive living-learning environment that sets it apart from other Asian institutions.

As Southeast Asian students increasingly look beyond traditional education destinations, stories like Charles’ highlight the changing landscape of international higher education. His experience suggests that the future of global education might not lie in choosing between East and West, but in finding spaces where both seamlessly converge.Hashtag: #CUHK

“I am honored to join the Forum of Young Global Leaders, a dynamic group redefining leadership in a changing world,” said Steven Lam. “In the logistics industry, I’m committed to delivering innovative solutions that help customers overcome challenges, grow their business, and operate more efficiently and sustainably.

As a Young Global Leader, I look forward to collaborating with fellow leaders to address global challenges and drive impactful change. At GoGoX, we are committed to transforming logistics through technology, ensuring that we not only meet current demands but also anticipate future needs.”

We have navigated challenges such as market fluctuations and evolving customer expectations, transforming them into opportunities for innovation and growth. Our partners and industry friends have been indispensable to our success, and we extend our heartfelt gratitude for their unwavering support.

A typical case involved a Hong Kong e-commerce platform that, due to the recent trade war, had to temporarily hold a batch of goods destined for the United States. Through GoGoX Business‘s warehousing service, the goods were securely stored and, once the tariff suspension was announced, they were promptly delivered to the port via GoGoX Business. The cost was reduced by 20-30%, demonstrating significant savings.

Looking ahead, GoGoX is dedicated to leveraging AI to revolutionize logistics. Our future roadmap includes integrating advanced AI technologies to further optimize route planning, improve delivery efficiency, and enhance customer experiences. By harnessing data analytics and machine learning, we aim to anticipate market trends and streamline operations, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the logistics sector.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite our partners and clients to join us on this exciting journey toward a more innovative and efficient future in logistics.
