― Short-haul Asian destinations remain highly popular overseas, while urban areas continue to perform strongly domestically ―

TOKYO, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Agoda Company Pte. Ltd. (Headquarters: Singapore; CEO: Omri Morgenshtern), which operates the digital travel platform Agoda, has released the latest accommodation search data on travel during the 2026 spring break period (March–April) among Japanese travelers.

The data analyzes search activity by travelers from Japan conducted between November 1, 2025, and January 13, 2026, for check-ins during March-April 2026, compared with the same period in the previous year, revealing travel demand trends ahead of the spring break season.

■ Most Popular International Destinations for Spring Break ― Short-haul Asian destinations offer highly satisfying trips, even for shorter stays ― 

<Top 5 International Destinations> 

1st: Seoul, South Korea, 2nd: Taipei, Taiwan, 3rd: Bangkok, Thailand, 4th: Busan, South Korea, 5th: Hong Kong

For international travel, Seoul, South Korea, emerged as the most searched destination during the spring break period among Japanese travelers. In addition to its convenient access from Japan, Seoul offers a rich mix of gourmet dining, shopping, and cultural experiences, making it a highly favored destination for short overseas trips. In particular, the city is seeing growing popularity among solo travelers, especially those traveling for beauty and wellness purposes.

Taipei, Taiwan, is known for its approachable food culture and walkable city layout, making it an attractive choice for first-time international travelers or those returning overseas after some time. The ease of enjoying night markets and local cuisine contributes to higher satisfaction for spring break travel.

Bangkok, Thailand, is characterized by its combination of urban sightseeing and resort elements, offering a wide range of experiences including shopping, spas, and gourmet dining. The city continues to attract travelers who use relatively longer holidays to plan trips that combine city stays with nearby resort destinations.

Busan, South Korea, is appreciated for its unique blend of coastal scenery and urban landscapes. Activities such as café hopping and seaside walks appeal to travelers seeking a more relaxed pace, while the opportunity to experience a different side of Korea compared to Seoul also contributes to its popularity.

Hong Kong maintains steady popularity as a short-term spring break destination, offering diverse attractions that range from gourmet dining and shopping to nature and art. The ability to enjoy a wide variety of experiences efficiently within a limited schedule makes Hong Kong a strong match for spring break travel.

■ Most Popular Domestic Destinations for Spring Break ― Urban sightseeing and seasonal experiences, centered around Tokyo, remain highly popular ― 

<Top 5 Domestic Destinations> 

1st: Tokyo, 2nd: Osaka, 3rd: Sapporo, 4th: Fukuoka, 5th: Okinawa Main Island

For domestic travel, Tokyo continues to rank as the most searched destination for the spring break period. The city is highly regarded for offering a wide variety of experiences even during short stays, including the latest gourmet dining, shopping, and entertainment, as well as cherry blossom viewing spots and spring-only events. The ability to enjoy both urban sightseeing and a strong sense of seasonality continues to support Tokyo’s stable popularity as a spring break destination.

Osaka is valued for its vibrant food culture and high level of entertainment, including theme parks, and benefits from convenient access to nearby cities such as Kyoto and Kobe. As a result, Osaka is often selected as a base for travelers planning to explore the wider Kansai area.

Sapporo is characterized by its balance between urban convenience and proximity to nature, with travelers drawn to seasonal Hokkaido cuisine and the changing scenery as winter transitions into spring. For those seeking to experience seasonal shifts, Sapporo remains an appealing option for spring break travel.

Fukuoka is appreciated for its compact urban layout, which allows travelers to efficiently enjoy gourmet dining, shopping, and sightseeing. Serving as a key gateway to destinations across Kyushu, the city supports travel itineraries that combine urban stays with regional exploration, further driving spring break demand.

Okinawa Main Island continues to attract travelers seeking an escape from everyday life during the spring break season. With a calmer atmosphere ahead of the summer peak, visitors can enjoy a well-balanced mix of nature, culture, and activities.

In addition, year-on-year growth in travel interest was observed for cities such as Nagoya, Yokohama, Hiroshima, Sendai, and Chiba, indicating rising attention toward core regional cities that offer both convenient transportation access and ease of urban sightseeing.

Tadashi Ikai, Senior Country Director, Japan at Agoda, shared, “Spring break is a key travel season, with a wide range of travelers—from students to working professionals—planning trips during this period. Agoda’s search data shows that internationally, short-haul Asian destinations continue to maintain strong popularity, while domestically, urban areas led by Tokyo remain steady favorites. Agoda will continue to offer a wide selection of accommodations at great value, enabling travelers to enjoy highly satisfying trips even within limited vacation time.”

Travelers can seamlessly search and book more than 6 million accommodations, 130,000+ flight routes, and 300,000+ activities through Agoda’s platform. Attractive accommodation deals can be easily found via the Agoda mobile app or official website (Agoda.com).

Transforming Knee Surgery: Columbia Asia Combines Expertise and Robotics for Better Outcomes


JOHOR BAHRU, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 February 2026 – Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau is advancing patient-centred knee care by offering a full continuum of treatment for osteoarthritis, ranging from Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections to state-of-the-art robotic-assisted total knee replacement (TKR).

Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau Poster Hospital [TKR]

“Our knees are subjected to wear and tear over time due to aging, injuries, and repetitive stress,” said Dr Hazli Sufian, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon with Special Interest in Arthroplasty at Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau. “While HA injections can help relieve pain and improve mobility in early-stage osteoarthritis, advanced cases often require knee replacement surgery for long-term relief and function.”

Dr Hazli and his surgical team have replaced conventional techniques with the CORI® robotic-assisted system by Smith+Nephew, an advanced technology designed to enhance precision and personalise knee replacement procedures.

“The CORI® system allows surgeons to capture patient-specific anatomical data in real time, enabling more precise bone preparation and soft tissue balancing,” Dr Hazli explained. “This contributes to improved joint stability, better alignment, and more natural knee movement after surgery.”

Beyond surgical precision, robotic-assisted technology improves the overall patient experience. The personalised approach can lead to reduced tissue disruption, less post-operative pain, and lower risk of complications. Many patients also benefit from enhanced mobility, greater confidence in joint function, and a potentially faster return to daily activities and rehabilitation.

By tailoring each procedure to the patient’s unique anatomy, the CORI® system supports predictable outcomes and consistent surgical results, which are key to long-term patient satisfaction.

Dr James Chong, CEO of Columbia Asia Hospital Tebrau, said the introduction of robotic-assisted knee replacement reflects the hospital’s commitment to advancing patient-centred care through innovation.

“Our investment in robotic-assisted surgery enhances not only surgical precision but also the overall patient journey—from pre-operative planning and intra-operative accuracy to post-operative recovery and rehabilitation,” he said. “This technology allows us to deliver high-quality outcomes while improving comfort, confidence, and experience for our patients.”

/C O R R E C T I O N — Republic Power Group Limited (NASDAQ: RPGL)/

In the news release, ” Republic Power Group Limited Announces 1-For-20 Reverse Share Split”, issued on February 20, 2026 by Republic Power Group Limited over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the market effective date of the reverse share split should be February 24, 2026, rather than February 23, 2026, as originally issued inadvertently. Complete, corrected release follows:

Republic Power Group Limited Announces 1-For-20 Reverse Share Split

SINGAPORE, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Republic Power Group Limited (NASDAQ: RPGL), today announced that it will effect a reverse share split of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.000625 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.000625 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), at a ratio of 1-for-20, to be effective at the open of business on February 24, 2026.

Our Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a reverse share split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on February 24, 2026. There is no public market for our Class B Ordinary Shares. Following the reverse share split, the Class A Ordinary Shares will have a new par value of $0.0125 per share and will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “RPGL” with the new CUSIP number, G7523E113. The reverse share split is expected to lead the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to trade at approximately 20 times the price per share at which it trades prior to the effectiveness of the reverse share split. The Company, however, cannot assure that the price of its Class A Ordinary Shares after the reverse split will reflect the 1-for-20 reverse split ratio, that the price per share following the effective time of the reverse split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the price will remain above the pre-split trading price. The reverse share split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per Class A Ordinary Share for continued listing on Nasdaq.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse share split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares.

The reverse share split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares from 62,025,000 to approximately 3.1 million shares, subject to any adjustments resulting from the treatment of the fractional shares.

On February 2, 2026, the board of directors of the Company approved the reverse share split of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, at a ratio of 1-for-20.

Indian, Regional, and Global Partners Launch Initiatives to Address Extreme Heat in South Asia

The World Health Organization (WHO)–World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Climate and Health Joint Programme, The Rockefeller Foundation, and Wellcome announce new regional efforts to connect climate science to health action to prevent heat impacts, help communities flourish, and save lives.

MUMBAI, India, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Mumbai Climate Week, the WHO-WMO Climate and Health Joint Programme, The Rockefeller Foundation, and Wellcome announced two new integrated initiatives to protect South Asians from extreme heat – a rapidly escalating threat to human health and economic stability in the subcontinent.

The two new initiatives, funded by The Rockefeller Foundation and Wellcome, will strengthen South Asia’s ability to detect, prepare for, and respond to extreme heat and other weather- and climate-related health impacts.

The South Asia Climate–Health Desk, established as part of the WHO–WMO Climate and Health Joint Programme and implemented with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), India Meteorological Department (IMD), and other partners will improve how climate and weather information is translated into action to protect health.

Complementing this work, the South Asia Scientific Research Consortium, supported through a Rockefeller Foundation grant to the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune, will deepen the region’s scientific understanding of how heat affects different populations. These projects are the first two components of a broader, more ambitious regional strategy to address extreme heat risks to health. As part of a growing suite of Joint Programme initiatives, including regional activities of the Global Heat Health Information Network, these are first steps of coordinated science-driven efforts to protect communities, with more updates on the broader rollout coming soon.

“Extreme heat is a growing risk for lives and livelihoods in South Asia,” said Dr. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, IMD’s Director General of Meteorology and Permanent Representative of India to WMO. “IMD welcomes this partnership with IITM under the South Asia Climate-Health Desk, which will strengthen the science-to-services pathway, improve early warning support for health, and help decision-makers act in time to protect communities during severe heat events.”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for urgent global action to address the growing risk of extreme heat worldwide, which takes a heavy toll on health in South Asia – the world’s most populated region. According to WMO, Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average, intensifying extreme weather and placing growing pressure on lives and livelihoods, health systems, economies, and ecosystems across the region, putting the most vulnerable and exposed communities at critical risk.

In India and Pakistan, pre-monsoon temperatures regularly rise above 50°C, and heat-related mortality in the region today exceeds 200,000 deaths per year. At the same time, extreme heat undermines economic stability and productivity. In 2024 alone, heat exposure in India led to 247 billion potential labor hours lost – reducing labor capacity and leading to an estimated $194 billion loss in income, according to the Lancet Countdown.

“Few regions feel the impacts of extreme heat as sharply as South Asia, and I welcome the clear determination to respond. We all know that every death primarily due to excess heat can be prevented and heat health action plans are saving lives,” said Professor Celeste Saulo, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization. “By uniting science, government leadership and support, and community action, countries here are proving that this challenge can be met.”

Addressing extreme heat requires coordinated, transdisciplinary action. This integrated effort equips governments, public services, communities, and health systems with the actionable knowledge they need to prevent avoidable illness and save lives. The two coalition initiatives include:

  1. South Asia Climate–Health Desk: Led by IITM in partnership with IMD, this new unit will help meteorological institutions and health partners in South Asia work closely together to develop more robust decision support tools, such as early warning and risk assessments. Representing one of the first units to be launched as part of the Joint Programme spanning Research and Development (R&D) and operational domains in climate and health, it will strengthen the ability of a wide range of stakeholders to co-develop, validate, and share health‑relevant and fit-for-purpose weather and climate information, so communities, health authorities, and health services can build resilience and act quickly before and during dangerous heat events and other climate-related health risks including disease outbreaks.
  2. South Asia Scientific Research Consortium: Led by IISER Pune, this consortium of research institutions, including MS Swaminathan Research Foundation and IITM, will deepen understanding of how heat affects people across South Asia—depending on where they live, the work they do, and the different conditions they face. By developing tailored heat‑risk thresholds, this consortium aims to ultimately strengthen heat action planning, early warning systems, and preparedness efforts, helping communities and institutions better adapt to rising temperatures in one of the world’s most heat-vulnerable regions.

This announcement is the first in a series of rollouts planned in 2026, highlighting work being carried out in the region. The Rockefeller Foundation and Wellcome’s US $11.5 million investment in the WHO-WMO Climate and Health Joint Programme aims to expand climate‑informed health action in vulnerable regions. The two philanthropies committed the funds to pioneer new models of science-driven collaboration between health partners and meteorological departments, aiming to bridge a gap that often leaves health systems without critical climate information that can protect communities and save lives.

Through the establishment of these initiatives, South Asia is leading the way in implementing this integrated climate and health approach that connects research, climate monitoring and forecasting, and health responses to protect people from the health risks of climate variability and change.

“After a decade of punishing and increasingly deadly heatwaves across India and the wider South Asia region, it’s clear that business‑as‑usual public health approaches are no longer enough. Protecting India’s most vulnerable communities requires rethinking how we deliver care and invest in the solutions frontline providers and patients urgently need today,” said Dr. Naveen Rao, Senior Vice President of Health at The Rockefeller Foundation. “Through our support to the Joint Programme, we aim to help turn cutting‑edge science into real‑world impact, helping India and the region build a resilient, climate‑ready health system fit for the 21st century.”

“Rising temperatures due to climate change are a public health threat, endangering people’s lives and livelihoods throughout the world. In South Asia, extreme heat is hitting communities hard – in particular children, pregnant people, older people, outdoor workers and those communities with the least resources to respond,” said Dr. Alan Dangour, Director of Climate and Health at Wellcome. “We need to invest in science-led solutions that both cut emissions and build resilience, with public health at the core of decision-making. Wellcome is proud to work with partners and communities across South Asia to develop the evidence, tools and solutions that will ultimately improve health and save lives.”

SINGAPORE, Feb. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Republic Power Group Limited (NASDAQ: RPGL), today announced that it will effect a reverse share split of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.000625 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.000625 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), at a ratio of 1-for-20, to be effective at the open of business on February 23, 2026.

Our Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a reverse share split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on February 23, 2026. There is no public market for our Class B Ordinary Shares. Following the reverse share split, the Class A Ordinary Shares will have a new par value of $0.0125 per share and will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “RPGL” with the new CUSIP number, G7523E113. The reverse share split is expected to lead the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares to trade at approximately 20 times the price per share at which it trades prior to the effectiveness of the reverse share split. The Company, however, cannot assure that the price of its Class A Ordinary Shares after the reverse split will reflect the 1-for-20 reverse split ratio, that the price per share following the effective time of the reverse split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the price will remain above the pre-split trading price. The reverse share split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per Class A Ordinary Share for continued listing on Nasdaq.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse share split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares.

The reverse share split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares from 62,025,000 to approximately 3.1 million shares, subject to any adjustments resulting from the treatment of the fractional shares.
