SINGAPORE, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SingWealth Holdings (‘SingWealth’) recently stepped forward as the lead sponsor for Lianhe Zaobao’s My Legacy and Living Well held on 21 March 2026, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to helping Singaporeans navigate critical conversations around health, financial preparedness, and legacy planning.

As Singapore’s population continues to age—with one in five citizens aged 65 and above—the  event centered on topics relevant to Singapore’s ageing population and its interconnected facets.

“Ageing well is not just about living longer; it is about maintaining dignity, independence, and peace of mind,” said Jeffrey Chow, Executive Director and Group CEO of SingWealth Holdings.

SingWealth’s participation in the event stems from its core principle that these considerations are best approached together, rather than in isolation. It also highlights the Group’s ongoing focus on education, awareness and long-term readiness, rather than short-term decisions.

 “We hope to encourage earlier and more thoughtful conversations around health, financial readiness, and legacy planning, so individuals and families can move forward with greater confidence,” he added.

Beyond this initiative, SingWealth continues to support Singaporeans through educational efforts and professional guidance, helping individuals better understand their options and take steps that are appropriate for their own circumstances and pace.

Budget Direct Pet Insurance Encourages Responsible Animal Care, Emphasising Early Health Checks and Lifelong Prevention for Happy, Healthy Companions.

BRISBANE, Australia, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Puppy Day, Monday 23 March celebrates the joy and unconditional love that puppies bring into our lives and highlights important animal welfare issues. This year, Budget Direct Pet Insurance encourages Australians to reflect on the commitment involved in pet ownership, particularly when welcoming a new furry family member.

Zeena Juskevics, from Budget Direct, said: “Bringing a new puppy home is an incredibly exciting time, filled with anticipation and joy.

“It’s also a pivotal moment to establish foundational health habits that will benefit your pet throughout their life.

“From their first vet visit for essential vaccinations and parasite prevention, to creating a safe and stimulating home environment, these early steps are crucial for their long-term well-being.”

Budget Direct Pet Insurance has useful tips to help new pet parents welcome a puppy into their lives:

• A safe and comfortable space: Providing appropriate bedding, food and water bowls, and enrichment toys to help them settle in.
• First vet visit: A crucial step for a comprehensive health check, establishing a vaccination schedule, and discussing essential parasite prevention programmes (including for fleas, worms, and ticks). Your vet can also advise on diet and early training.
• Ongoing preventative care: Beyond puppyhood, regular veterinary check-ups, consistent vaccination boosters, and year-round parasite prevention are vital for pets of all ages to prevent common illnesses and detect potential issues early.

“Proactive health management is key,” adds Juskevics. “Regular veterinary consultations allow for early detection and treatment of potential health concerns, ensuring your dog enjoys the best possible quality of life. Maintaining prevention programmes for common ailments helps safeguard them against preventable diseases and parasites.”

While proactive care can mitigate many health risks, unexpected illnesses or accidents can still occur and the cost of veterinary treatment can be substantial, placing a financial burden on dog owners.

“Protecting your dog extends to financial preparedness,” says Juskevics. “Many pet insurance policies, including those from Budget Direct, offer cover for a range of eligible veterinary treatments for illnesses and accidents, helping to alleviate financial stress during worrying times.”

Budget Direct Pet Insurance is dedicated to helping Australian pet owners provide the best care for their four-legged friends with a range of flexible policy options designed to suit different needs and budgets.

With a focus on customer value and peace of mind, Budget Direct Pet Insurance helps families manage the costs of veterinary care, enabling them to provide the best possible treatment for their beloved cats and dogs with reimbursements on eligible veterinary costs.*

Signalling broader festive travel consideration beyond familiar destinations, this shift in travel preference underscores the value of localized listings for hotels

SINGAPORE, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Hari Raya approaches, digital travel platform Agoda marks a 55% month-on-month increase in accommodation searches from travelers in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore for check-ins during the festive period of 20 to 23 March 2026. Bali remains the most searched destination amongst travelers from these origins with Yogyakarta, Bandung, Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo following closely.

Hari Raya, or Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan and is a time for reunion, celebration and meaningful time with loved ones. Travel demand typically rises as people return to hometowns, visit family, or plan a short break after a month of spiritual focus. During this festive season, while close-to-home destinations, such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand remain popular, Agoda is also observing increased interest in destinations that offer a different kind of festive getaway, including Japan and China.

“Traditionally, travel during cultural festive periods meant returning home, but we’re observing a change in preference as many look beyond familiar destinations. Japan and China, for example, are growing in appeal this festive season as they become more accessible through measures like eased visa rules and new, unique experiences,” said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply, Agoda. “When travel is made easier, interest follows. Hotels that recognise these trends and remove booking friction – by offering localised experiences, tailored content in the traveler’s language and convenient local payment options – will be best placed to capture growth this festive season.”

China ranked as one of the top five destinations for travelers from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, with a 7% year‑on‑year increase in accommodation searches during the Hari Raya festive period. This momentum amplified by the market’s recent expansion of visa‑exemption and eased transit rules, which have reduced friction for travelers, according to China’s State Council, increases China’s appeal for festive getaways. Meanwhile, in Japan, their broader appeal comes as the country looks to grow inbound tourism over the longer term. According to reports by the World Economic Forum, the shift comes as the government has set a target of attracting 60 million foreign tourists annually by 2030, alongside wider efforts to welcome a broader range of travelers.

The upcoming festive travel season presents hoteliers with the chance to fine tune their localization strategies to better accommodate various travelers needs such as implementing Halal-friendly options. Agoda’s Tailored to Win report shows that reflecting cultural, linguistic and behavioral preferences is increasingly vital for hotels and accommodation partners looking to stand out. Hoteliers can strengthen appeal this Hari Raya season by clearly highlighting halal-certified meals, prayer facilities and other Muslim-friendly amenities. The report also found that hotels implementing advanced localization strategies saw a 59% positive impact on Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR).

As Hari Raya travel planning accelerates, the seasonal uplift is a timely prompt for accommodation partners to review whether their listings answer the questions travelers tend to decide on first, including meal options, prayer access, family suitability and proximity to relevant attractions. Agoda continues to support partners with data-led insights and localized tools that help them present the right information to the right travelers.

Redefining Brand Integration: A Strategic Narrative That Resonates with Audiences and Industry Alike

HONG KONG, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SORTIE Agency has emerged as a standout at the 41st Kam Fan Awards, one of the advertising industry’s most prestigious annual events, securing a Bronze award for its integrated marketing campaign centred around the TVB prime-time drama Heroes in White, created for the brand Herbalgy.

SORTIE Agency broke the traditional framework of brand placement by embedding brand messaging into the very fabric of the TVB prime-time drama Heroes in White. The series was inspired by the true story of Herbalgy’s founder, Professor Tinly Wong Tin-chee, a respected Practitioner of Chinese Medicine, transforming the brand’s ‘Pain Management’ philosophy into the core narrative of the drama. Throughout the viewing experience, audiences naturally absorbed the professional solutions offered by Herbalgy and its sub-brands, Touch-Cool, Herbalgy, and Tibet Red, which target the upper, central, and lower body respectively, as characters encountered relatable situations involving headaches, back pain, and sports injuries.

Innovative Content Marketing: Narrative-Driven Brand Education

The Kam Fan Awards, established in 1984 by the Hong Kong Association of Advertising Agencies, are renowned for their rigorous judging standards and are widely regarded as one of the most influential creative awards in the Asia-Pacific region. SORTIE Agency’s recognition underscores the exceptional calibre of its content marketing strategy, excelling in both creative vision and measurable impact.

SORTIE Agency’s approach centred on ‘non-intrusive’ content integration, allowing the motivations for product use to be driven by the narrative itself. Each episode outro concluded with Professor Wong personally sharing his expertise in Chinese medicine, transforming what could have been a conventional hard sell into a credible educational experience. This strategy not only reinforced Herbalgy’s professional positioning as a ‘Pain Management Expert’ but also successfully elevated the brand from a traditional medicated oil into a systematic provider of wellness knowledge.

11.8 Million Viewers Witness a Market Phenomenon: Herbalgy Sales Surge

The campaign’s market performance garnered significant recognition from the judging panel. Heroes in White achieved a peak viewership rating of 24.2 points, reaching over 11.8 million viewers. In the first week of its broadcast, Herbalgy recorded an extraordinary 1,500% surge in product sales. Through this initiative, SORTIE Agency demonstrated how brand storytelling can itself become the content medium, creating immediate commercial returns while simultaneously building enduring brand value.

Heroes in White was made possible through the unwavering support and trust of the TVB team, who partnered with SORTIE Agency to break new ground and seamlessly integrate brand content into a prime-time drama. Sincere gratitude is also extended to Herbalgy for their courage and trust, entrusting the agency with the opportunity to transform the founder’s authentic story into a narrative that resonated deeply with audiences. This award affirms that when brand, creative partner, and media platform unite to innovate, the result is an exceptional viewing and communications experience of market value.
