SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – The Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), together with its Professional Services (PS) Centre Alliance partners, comprising Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, Institute of Valuers & Appraisers, Singapore Business Federation (SBF), Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI), Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Tax Academy of Singapore and the Law Society of Singapore, has launched the PS Centre in Nanjing. This marks the Alliance’s second PS Centre in China and its third globally, strengthening a growing network to support enterprises expanding across China, Singapore and Southeast Asia.

Amid rising demand from businesses seeking overseas growth, the PS Centre was established as a trusted platform to connect enterprises with trusted professional services expertise and in-market networks, enabling smoother and more effective cross-border expansion. Nanjing is strategically positioned, with strong linkages to universities that support talent pipelines, as well as ecosystem builders such as the Singapore-Nanjing Eco Hi-tech Island that help businesses establish and maintain operational presence in the market.

Since its inception, the PS Centres in China and Vietnam have provided on-the-ground support and facilitated opportunities for over 100 businesses. Prior to the launch in Nanjing, the PS Centre has already supported several Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in establishing operations and building local teams. One such example is BIPO, a HR solutions provider, which successfully set up its presence in Nanjing with support from the PS Centre ecosystem.

Mr Michael Chen, CEO of BIPO (Asia) shared: “The launch of the Professional Services Centre marks an important step in enabling more efficient and scalable global expansion for enterprises. As companies expand across markets, what they increasingly need is not just individual services, but an integrated ecosystem of professional capabilities. At BIPO, we are proud to partner with ISCA and the broader professional community to provide the HR technology and operational infrastructure that supports this ecosystem, helping businesses build sustainable, compliant, and tech-enabled global operations.”

The launch took place at the forum titled “Bridging Singapore and Nanjing, Charting Opportunities from ASEAN to China“, organised by the PS Alliance and co-hosted by China-Singapore Nanjing Eco-Tech Island Investment Development Co., Ltd. The forum brought together government representatives, professional bodies, financial institutions and business leaders from both Singapore and China.

Mr Xu Feng, Vice Mayor of Nanjing, highlighted the growing economic linkages between China and Southeast Asia: “Nanjing and Singapore share a long-standing friendship built upon a strong foundation of cooperation. We recognise that the international expansion of enterprises relies on the support of professional services. As a global hub for professional services, Singapore offers complementary strengths, and the prospects for collaboration between our two sides are vast. Nanjing will continue to foster a world-class international business environment, enhance its end-to-end support systems for enterprises expanding overseas, and promote mutually beneficial partnerships between enterprises and Singapore’s professional institutions.”

Mr Ernie Koh, Council Member, SBF / Vice-Chairman, Research & Publications Committee, SCCCI said: “Singapore and China share strong and enduring economic ties, and platforms like the Nanjing PS Centre play a critical role in deepening these linkages. By bringing together business networks and professional expertise, the Alliance can better support enterprises in navigating new markets, strengthening their capabilities, and unlocking opportunities across Southeast Asia. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to enabling sustainable, cross-border growth.”

Mr Daniel Koh, Vice-President, The Law Society of Singapore, said: “As businesses expand across borders, navigating legal and regulatory complexities becomes increasingly critical. The establishment of the PS Centre provides a valuable platform for enterprises to access trusted legal expertise alongside other professional services. By strengthening cross-border collaboration, we can help businesses operate with greater confidence, manage risks effectively, and build resilient foundations for international growth.”

Mr Darren Ku, Council Member, ASME, said: “For many SMEs, internationalisation presents both significant opportunities and challenges. The Nanjing PS Centre offers a practical and structured gateway for businesses to access the professional support they need, from compliance to market entry strategies. By lowering barriers and providing coordinated expertise, the Alliance will empower more SMEs to expand into Southeast Asia with greater confidence and clarity.”

Beyond facilitating business expansion, the Nanjing PS Centre will also anchor talent development and cross-border capabilities. ISCA has established partnerships with key institutions including Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing Audit University, and Jiangsu Certified Public Accountants, laying the foundation for a sustainable pipeline of internationally-ready accounting professionals.

ISCA President Mr Teo Ser Luck said: “The Professional Services Centre in Nanjing shows our commitment to helping Chinese and Singapore businesses grow with good governance, proper compliance, and sound financial management as they expand across the region. Through working together, we can help businesses grow with confidence and in a sustainable way. We plan to bring this model to other parts of the world, so we can continue sharing knowledge and networks with businesses operating across borders.”

With regions such as Shenzhen, Johor Bahru, and Bangkok earmarked for new PS Centres, the PS Alliance has highlighted their commitment to supporting businesses in their cross-border endeavours and operations. By providing a platform for them to explore new opportunities for growth and talent development, these PS Centres play a vital role in cross-border professional development.

The launch of Nanjing PS Centre will serve as a platform to integrate professional resources from Singapore and Jiangsu, supporting enterprises investing in Singapore and across ASEAN. This initiative, coupled with future expansion into other regions, further underscores ISCA’s continued role in strengthening cross-border collaboration and enabling resilient, future-ready business growth.

Standing Stones in Houaphanh Recognized as National Heritage

A group of ancient standing stones in Houaphanh Province has been officially recognised as a national cultural heritage site, drawing attention to one of Laos’ most puzzling historical locations.

Known as Hintang Archeological Park (Standing Stones), the site is located in Houameuang District, about 64 kilometers from the provincial center. The area contains more than 1,500 stone pillars and over 150 large stone discs spread across hills and forest.

The stones are believed to date back around 2,500 to 3,000 years, possibly to the Iron Age. However, experts still do not know who built them or why.

The stones are tall and narrow, often placed in groups with larger stones at the centre. There is no clear pattern in how they are arranged, which adds to the mystery.

The Secrets Beneath the Surface

Beneath some of the stones, archeologists have discovered underground chambers. These chambers are large and covered with heavy stone slabs, some over 2 metres wide.

Inside, the chambers are divided into smaller sections and may have been used for burials. However, very few human remains have been found, leaving many questions unanswered.

The site was first studied in 1931 by French archeologist Madeleine Colani, who uncovered clay jars and bronze bracelets during early excavations.

Despite decades of research, the true purpose of the stones remains unclear. Some believe they were linked to burial practices, while others suggest they may have spiritual or ceremonial meaning.

In recent years, authorities have carried out surveys and mapping of the area to better understand and protect the site. Key groups of stones have been identified in 2 villages, where conservation zones have now been established.

To Achieve Global Recognition

Officials say the new national heritage status will help protect the site and support further research. It may also help promote tourism in the future.

The government has also indicated plans to propose the site for UNESCO World Heritage status in the coming years. The push is part of a broader 2026-2030 national strategy, aimed at protecting Lao landmarks alongside cultural staples like ‘Laap’ and the ‘Baci’ ceremony.

For now, Hintang could become the second National Heritage site in Houaphanh, following the recognition of Viengxay’s historic caves, while remaining the most puzzling historical site, raising questions about the people who once lived there.

Zhong Baoshen Attends Boao Forum for Asia 2026, LONGi’s “Solar-Storage-Hydrogen” Strategy Empowers China-Australia Green Cooperation

QIONGHAI, China, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — From March 24 to 27, the much-anticipated Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2026 commenced in Hainan. Within the forum’s framework, the high-profile China-Australia Entrepreneur Dialogue, themed “Promoting Win-Win Cooperation for Green Development,” was held on March 25th. Zhong Baoshen, Chairman of LONGi, was invited as a representative of China’s new energy enterprises to engage in in-depth discussions with political and business leaders and academic experts from both countries, focusing on deepening economic and trade cooperation within the RCEP framework and the green transition.

Zhong Baoshen, Chairman of LONGi, speaks at the Boao Forum for Asia 2026 Annual Conference.
Zhong Baoshen, Chairman of LONGi, speaks at the Boao Forum for Asia 2026 Annual Conference.

During the dialogue, Mr. Zhong Baoshen noted that with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on Deepening Cooperation in the Implementation of the Free Trade Agreement between China and Australia in June 2024, bilateral economic and trade relations have entered a new phase. “This has directly reduced equipment and construction costs for Australian solar projects, accelerating the deployment of photovoltaic applications,” Mr. Zhong Baoshen stated. He added that LONGi is fully supporting Australia’s target of achieving 82% renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030 through its high-efficiency Back Contact (BC) modules and Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) products. Data shows that in 2024, renewables already accounted for 46% of Australia’s electricity supply, with solar power contributing 19.6% (46.7 TWh), a role in which Chinese PV companies have played a key part.

In his remarks at the Boao Forum, Mr. Zhong Baoshen, systematically elaborated on LONGi’s latest integrated “Solar-Storage-Hydrogen” strategy to Australian partners. He emphasized that facing the challenges of grid integration in Australia and the systemic nature of the energy transition, single photovoltaic products alone cannot meet future demands. To address this, LONGi has constructed a “stable triangle” energy architecture centered on photovoltaics, energy storage, and hydrogen.

Mr. Zhong Baoshen explained that within this system, photovoltaics act as the “creator” of clean energy, lowering the levelized cost of electricity through high-efficiency technology; energy storage serves as the “stabilizer” for the power system, coordinating with green power trading to support stable grid operation and address solar intermittency; hydrogen functions as the “regulator” for long-duration, cross-seasonal energy storage and industrial decarbonization, capable of extending into hard-to-abate sectors where Australia has traditional advantages, such as shipping and mining smelting.

“LONGi has completed its strategic upgrade from a global photovoltaic leader to an integrated ‘Solar-Storage-Hydrogen’ comprehensive energy solution provider,” Mr. Zhong Baoshen stated. He noted that just this month, leveraging its exceptional bankability, LONGi was simultaneously included in BloombergNEF’s (BNEF) Tier 1 list for both PV and Energy Storage for the first time. This signifies that its energy storage business has entered the global top tier from the outset, and its ‘Solar-Storage-Hydrogen’ synergistic strategy has gained significant recognition from international markets.

Regarding China-Australia cooperation in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sphere, Mr. Zhong Baoshen expressed support for establishing unified green standards between the two countries and advocated for jointly promoting the implementation of ESG financial instruments, such as green bonds and carbon credit mechanisms, to provide long-term financial support for renewable energy projects.

Technological innovation remains the key link in LONGi’s deep engagement with Australia. Mr. Zhong Baoshen emphasized LONGi’s long-standing collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW). As early as 2018, both parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement to conduct in-depth research in areas like high-efficiency PV technology and renewable energy system optimization. The “Solar Cell Efficiency Tables,” led by Professor Martin Green, often called the ‘father of solar power,’ have repeatedly included world records set by LONGi. Looking ahead, LONGi will continue to deepen this technical cooperation and explore combining photovoltaics with Australia’s significant green hydrogen resource potential.

Australia is currently advancing towards its 2030 target of 82% renewable energy, requiring an estimated annual addition of 7.2 gigawatts of new renewable and gas-fired generation capacity. Mr. Zhong Baoshen stated that LONGi will not only support local utility-scale and distributed market growth with high-efficiency products but also, leveraging its full-value-chain “Solar-Storage-Hydrogen” strategy, provide the Australian market with full-scene solutions covering power generation, storage, and consumption. This aims to assist Australia’s strategic transition from traditional energy sources to green energy, injecting robust green momentum into the construction of a regional open economy.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – Jollibee, the flagship brand of the Jollibee Group, has been ranked the fifth-strongest restaurant brand worldwide in the Brand Finance Restaurants 25 2026 report, reinforcing the brand’s growing global competitiveness and resonance across markets.

Jollibee Global Rank

The 2026 ranking marks a significant rise from ninth place in 2025, reflecting a measurable strengthening of Jollibee’s global brand equity. Its Brand Strength Index (BSI) improved to 87.9/100 from 83.9 the previous year—one of the most notable gains among ranked restaurant brands—indicating increased consumer familiarity, preference, and advocacy across both established and emerging markets.

In the same report, Brand Finance also noted that Jollibee remains the Philippines’ sole representative among the world’s 25 most valuable restaurant brands, and the only Philippine and Southeast Asian brand included in the global ranking.

Ernesto Tanmantiong, Global President and Chief Executive Officer of the Jollibee Group, said the recognition underscores the brand’s rising global competitiveness and equity.

“Being ranked among the world’s strongest restaurant brands by Brand Finance signals that Jollibee is winning in superior taste and strengthening consumer preference across markets. It reflects the trust we have built, the disciplined execution of our teams, and the growing power of our brand as we continue to deliver joyful experiences to customers worldwide,” Tanmantiong said.

Strengthened global equity

Brand Finance reported that Jollibee’s brand value rose by 32% to USD 3.3 billion in 2026, placing it 18th among the world’s 25 most valuable restaurant brands. As part of its brand strength assessment, Brand Finance cited Jollibee’s AAA brand strength rating, reflecting strong customer trust, emotional connection, and price acceptance in its home market and other key markets, including Singapore and Vietnam.

The year-on-year improvement in brand strength signals that Jollibee is not only expanding its footprint but also deepening its ability to influence customer choice—an important driver of long-term earnings quality, pricing resilience, and franchise attractiveness. This progression positions the brand alongside more established global players in terms of consumer affinity, despite differences in scale.

Brand Finance noted that as the only Philippine and Southeast Asian brand in the global ranking, Jollibee’s performance underscores the ability of home-grown brands to compete internationally through disciplined execution while sustaining strong brand equity and expectations for future earnings. Its continued expansion across Asia, North America, and the Middle East has strengthened long-term growth visibility while preserving brand leadership in its core market.

“We remain focused on building scalable operating systems, reinforcing brand fundamentals, and delivering consistent, superior taste across markets. With disciplined expansion, we are positioning our brands to grow sustainably, compete globally, and create long-term value for our stakeholders, including investors and franchise partners,” Tanmantiong added.

Jollibee’s growing global recognition is reinforced by recent accolades across key international markets. In the United States, the brand was named among the best fast-food fried chicken chains by USA Today, while Eater spotlighted it as a must-visit destination for its iconic Chickenjoy and distinctly Filipino flavors. The brand has also earned recognition in Hong Kong and Singapore, and in Kuwait, where Jollibee was ranked among the top 10 brands for best customer service—underscoring its growing consumer preference and consistent delivery of superior taste and joyful service across markets.

SetupHK Launches Free Corporate Tax Diagnosis Service — Limited to 20 Slots — Helping Hong Kong SMEs Navigate Tax Filing Season

By
Advertorial Desk
-
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 March 2026 – Professional accounting services firm SetupHK(朗峰會計) today announced the immediate launch of its “One-Hour Free Corporate Tax Diagnosis” service, designed exclusively for Hong Kong small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Available to the first 20 applicants only, the service covers account health assessment, tax filing arrangement clarification, and tax risk analysis. Appointments are now open via WhatsApp.

The service launches in alignment with Hong Kong’s annual tax filing season, during which the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) begins issuing Profits Tax returns to businesses from April onwards. SetupHK stated that the initiative aims to help SME owners gain a clear picture of their financial records before formally engaging tax filing services, reducing the risk of missed deadlines and unnecessary tax complications.

Service Details

The free corporate tax diagnosis is conducted on a one-to-one basis by SetupHK’s professional advisors. Each session runs approximately one hour and covers three key areas:

Account Health Assessment — A review of the completeness and accuracy of the company’s existing financial records, identifying potential issues that require attention.

Tax Filing Arrangement Clarification — Based on the company’s structure and financial year-end, advisors will outline the required filing steps and timeline.

Tax Risk Analysis — A preliminary identification of tax-related risks, including late submission exposure, discrepancies in financial records, and common filing errors.

Availability is strictly limited to the first 20 applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. To book an appointment: WhatsApp 852-9248-5734.

Background

Under the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, limited companies are required to submit an annual Profits Tax return (BIR51) together with audited financial statements prepared by a certified public accountant. Late submission may result in a fine of up to HK$10,000 plus a penalty of three times the tax assessed. Based on SetupHK’s experience serving SMEs, a significant number of business owners do not begin preparing their financial records until after receiving their tax return, leaving insufficient time to complete the mandatory audit process before the filing deadline.

Marx Chan, Director of SetupHK, commented: “Many business owners have little visibility into the actual state of their company’s accounts. By the time they receive their tax return and realise there are problems, they are already under pressure. The purpose of this free diagnosis is to give owners a clear picture of where they stand — what needs to be done and how much time they have — so they can respond with confidence rather than scramble at the last minute.”
