The latest response followed the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Colombia on August 10, 2026. The support from 1win Charity reached nearly 2,000 people, who received drinking water, food and hygiene kits, warm meals, blankets, sleeping mats, and first-aid supplies. A member of the 1win VIP community, Valentina Gómez, and Colombian creator Yeferson Cossio visited the affected communities to deliver relief.

Earlier in the year, 1win Charity supported more than 8,000 families after the June earthquakes in Venezuela. Working alongside local emergency organizations, hospitals, and community leaders, 1win delivered food, water, hygiene products, medicines, and medical supplies across affected communities in Caracas, La Guaira, and Miranda.

In Chile, 1win Charity carried out two major relief initiatives. Following extreme rainfall, winds, and storm surges in July, 1win Charity volunteers joined cleanup and debris-removal efforts in Quillón and Bulnes, while the organization provided rescue boats, drinking water, tools, protective equipment, and other provisions to communities and emergency teams.

The response followed an earlier initiative in the wake of devastating wildfires in Biobío and Ñuble, which burned more than 34,000 hectares. At the beginning of 2026, together with professional boxer Andrés Campos and the Chilean National Content Creators, 1win Charity supplied drinking water and emergency kits. Combined, the two Chilean initiatives supported approximately 20,000 families.

“For us, a long-term commitment to Latin America means being present all the time — during the happy celebrations and when communities face their most difficult moments. Our approach is to listen to local needs, work with trusted partners, and provide practical support where it can make a real difference,” 1win Charity representatives mentioned.

HKUST Tops Hong Kong Universities with More Than 1,000 HKPFS Recipients

Advancing the City’s Development as an International Hub for High-Caliber Talent


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – As a global magnet for top-tier talent, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has established a stellar track record under the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). Since the Research Grants Council (RGC) initiated the scheme 17 years ago in 2009, HKUST has welcomed over 1,000 fellowship recipients. Coming from over 50 countries and regions, these elite students account for more than a quarter of all HKPFS fellowship recipients to date, reinforcing HKUST’s position as the leading destination for HKPFS awardees among Hong Kong’s University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities.

In the 2026/27 academic year, which started this September, HKUST has welcomed over 100 new HKPFS recipients. Over the next three years, these doctoral students will receive a combined total of more than HK$112 million in fellowships and research allowances from the HKSAR Government. This achievement underscores HKUST’s world-class research capabilities and commitment to nurturing talent, while affirming its pivotal role in attracting international research talent, supporting Hong Kong’s development into a global hub for high-caliber talent, and advancing the city as an international center for post-secondary education, innovation and technology.

Since the first intake of doctoral students in the 2010/11 academic year, HKUST has enrolled more than 1,000 Fellowship recipients over the past 17 years, accounting for over a quarter of the Scheme’s cumulative total. Notably, the University secured the highest number of HKPFS awardees among Hong Kong’s universities for 14 of those academic years. Following the HKSAR Government’s announcement in the 2025-26 Budget to increase the annual scheme quota to 400, HKUST has welcomed more than 100 recipients in both the 2025/26 and 2026/27 academic years.

PhotonPay Launches Local Account Capability in South Africa to Simplify ZAR Collections for Global Businesses

HONG KONG, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PhotonPay, the next-generation financial operating system, today announced the launch of its local account capability in South Africa, enabling businesses to collect South African Rand (ZAR) through local payment networks and manage those funds through a unified global platform.

South Africa continues to strengthen its position as a digital and commercial hub in Africa. At the beginning of 2025, the country had 50.8 million internet users, with internet penetration reaching 78.9%.¹ Its digital economy is also creating new opportunities for international businesses, with the U.S. International Trade Administration noting continued growth in e-commerce and mobile commerce in its 2026 market assessment.²

At the same time, South Africa has a highly developed domestic payments infrastructure, with multiple payment rails serving different transaction needs. The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has been advancing the country’s payments ecosystem toward faster, more interoperable digital payments. PayShap, launched in 2023, had processed approximately 260 million transactions worth ZAR 215 billion by March 2025.³

For global businesses entering the market, however, accepting local payments can still be operationally complex. Customers may prefer familiar domestic payment methods, while businesses need to manage local collections, reconciliation and fund movement alongside their existing global payment operations.

PhotonPay’s new ZAR local account capability is designed to address these challenges by giving businesses a more direct way to collect from customers in South Africa while keeping their funds within a unified global financial operating system.

Collect in ZAR Through Local Payment Networks

With PhotonPay’s South Africa local account, businesses can receive ZAR-denominated local transfers through major domestic payment networks, including RTGS, RTC, PayShap, EFT and ACH.

Instead of requiring customers to navigate an international wire process, businesses can provide local account details for ZAR payments. This allows South African customers to pay through familiar domestic banking channels, helping businesses reduce payment friction and create a more seamless local payment experience.

The capability is designed to support a range of business models, including cross-border e-commerce, developer platforms and B2B trade, where reliable local collection can directly affect payment completion, cash-flow management and day-to-day operations.

For businesses, the benefits extend beyond simply receiving payments:

  • A more local payment experience: Customers can pay in ZAR through familiar domestic banking channels, without having to initiate an international transfer.
  • Faster access to funds: Local collections support T+0 to T+1 crediting, helping businesses reduce the time funds remain in transit and improve cash-flow visibility.
  • Built-in compliance and risk controls: PhotonPay applies transaction-level compliance and risk management based on business context, transaction activity, fund flows and relevant supporting documentation, helping businesses manage local collections within a controlled operating framework.

The launch in South Africa marks another step in PhotonPay’s expansion across emerging markets, helping businesses meet local payment needs while managing their global operations. Looking ahead, PhotonPay will continue expanding its local capabilities across key markets, giving businesses more efficient ways to collect, move and manage funds as they grow globally.

About PhotonPay

PhotonPay is a stablecoin-powered financial operating system built for global infrastructure. Designed for modern enterprises, PhotonPay enables businesses to send, receive, convert, and settle funds across both fiat and stablecoin rails through a single, compliance-first integration, spanning 200+ countries and territories.

GM Klang Launches Port Seni, a New Creative and Cultural Destination in Klang

SELANGOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2026 – GM Klang has launched Port Seni, a new creative and cultural destination bringing together local art, craftsmanship, creative products and community under one roof.

Representatives from GM Klang, Tourism Selangor and the local creative community at the launch of Port Seni, GM Klang's new creative and cultural hub, on 29 August 2026.
Representatives from GM Klang, Tourism Selangor and the local creative community at the launch of Port Seni, GM Klang’s new creative and cultural hub, on 29 August 2026.

Launched on 29 August 2026, Port Seni is now open to visitors as a space to discover local creators, artworks, crafts and products that reflect the identity of Klang and Selangor.

Inspired by Port Klang as a meeting point for trade, culture and journeys, Port Seni reimagines the idea of a “port” as a space where ideas, artistic expression and inspiration can meet and grow. The initiative also adds a new dimension to GM Klang, a destination long recognised for wholesale trade. The initiative was inspired and encouraged by Ms Chua Yee Ling, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Selangor, who recognised the potential for a dedicated destination where visitors could discover locally made products while gaining a deeper appreciation of the people, heritage and cultural character of Klang and Selangor.
Four Elements, One Creative Destination

Port Seni brings together four key elements:

1. Select Shop
Operated by Api House, the Select Shop is a curated retail space featuring handmade products, artisan works and locally crafted items. It provides local makers and creative entrepreneurs with access to wider audiences while allowing visitors to take home products that reflect the creativity and character of Selangor.

2. Gallery

The Gallery provides a platform for local artists to showcase their work and connect with new audiences. Its inaugural exhibition, Klang Art Harmony, features 61 artworks by 30 Klang artists, reflecting the diversity of styles, expressions and creative perspectives within the local art community.

3. Café — Coming Soon

An upcoming café will complement the Port Seni experience with a welcoming space for visitors to relax, gather and enjoy food and beverages surrounded by art and culture.

4. Pulau Ketam Art Corner

Dedicated to the artistic and cultural expressions of Pulau Ketam, the Art Corner introduces visitors to the stories, creative heritage and distinctive character of one of Klang’s unique communities.

Beyond Retail and Exhibitions

Port Seni is designed to go beyond conventional retail and exhibition spaces through programmes such as art exhibitions, interactive workshops, creative demonstrations and themed bazaars. These activities allow visitors to discover not only the products, but also the people, creative processes and stories behind them.
For local artists, artisans and creative entrepreneurs, Port Seni provides access to wider audiences and opportunities to introduce their work and brands, gather market feedback and explore new collaborations.

Connecting Local Creativity with Tourism
Port Seni also aims to strengthen the connection between local creativity and tourism, giving domestic and international visitors another way to experience Klang and Selangor through local artworks, craftsmanship, products and stories.

As a tourism ambassador for Klang, GM Klang sees art and culture as complementary to the city’s heritage and as another reason for visitors to explore Klang. Through Port Seni, GM Klang also hopes to contribute to the development of creative tourism in Selangor

From Commerce to Creativity

Port Seni reflects GM Klang’s ongoing evolution from a traditional B2B wholesale destination towards a B2B2C approach, continuing to strengthen its wholesale foundation while broadening experiences and opportunities for consumers, businesses and the wider community.

GM Klang General Manager Chloe Tan Siang Hui said the evolution is about adding value to GM Klang’s established business ecosystem rather than moving away from its wholesale identity.

“GM Klang has long been recognised for its strong B2B wholesale foundation. As business landscapes and consumer lifestyles evolve, we are moving towards a B2B2C approach while continuing to strengthen that foundation. Port Seni is part of this direction, bringing art, culture and local creativity into the GM Klang ecosystem while connecting local talent with wider audiences, markets and opportunities,” she said.
The launch marks another step in GM Klang’s ongoing transformation beyond traditional commerce, bringing business, art, culture, tourism and community closer together.
With its gallery, artisan retail space, cultural showcase, creative programmes and upcoming café, Port Seni aims to become a destination where visitors can discover local creativity, connect with the stories behind the works and take-home products reflecting the character of Klang and Selangor.
Located at Pavilion 5, Block C, GM Klang, Bandar Botanik, Klang, Port Seni is a new destination where visitors can discover art, culture and locally made creative products all in one place.
