As Samsung TV Plus marks its 1st anniversary in Southeast Asia, the service has garnered a strong foothold, having amassed over 4.4 million SMART TVs across the region, reaching over 12 million unique audiences[ii].

To cater to the diverse languages and interests of viewers in the region, Samsung TV Plus has doubled down on its localisation efforts in the past year, adding channels like Premier Sports, Tap Sports, and UFC TV in the Philippines where viewers can catch live sporting events like the Ryder Cup and the UFC 321 fight nights for free. In Thailand, viewers can sit back and watch Zee Nung and Stingray Thai Pop with local language subtitles.

With the addition of 10 new channels from A+E Global Media and three new channels from wedotv, bringing hundreds of hours of content to Samsung TV Plus, this will further strengthen the service’s position as a trusted destination for free premium content, and expand the service’s appeal to more entertainment seekers across the region.

Malaysian SMEs Turn Market Turbulence into Opportunity with SME100 Awards Leading the Movement

By
Advertorial Desk
-

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 December 2025 – The SME100 Awards has become one of the most trusted and influential platforms for high growth Malaysian enterprises, recognised for its rigorous evaluation standards and its role in identifying the country’s most promising businesses. Over the years, the programme has evolved into more than an award. It has become a springboard for SMEs seeking credibility, visibility and a supportive ecosystem in an increasingly volatile business landscape.

That landscape has grown more challenging than ever. Malaysian SMEs are operating in a climate defined by rising costs, talent shortages, complex regulatory requirements and tightening cash flow. Inflation continues to push operational expenses upward, while difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled talent have slowed growth for many. These pressures have created a harsh reality. Companies that lack adaptability risk losing market share, while those that act decisively are discovering opportunities in places previously overlooked.

Despite these obstacles, the SME sector has demonstrated a remarkable ability to rebound. Recent data shows that SME GDP grew by 11.6 percent, surpassing the national average and signalling that transformation, not stability, is driving growth. Many businesses have embraced digital tools, streamlined operations and explored new revenue pathways. The divide between surviving and thriving is becoming clearer, and it is defined by mindset, capability and speed.

In this environment, the SME100 Awards serves as a crucial platform for SMEs to strengthen their position. The programme provides a structured pathway for benchmarking performance, accessing regional networks and gaining recognition that matters to customers, partners and investors. By combining quantitative financial indicators with qualitative assessments and a full interview process, SME100 identifies companies that are not only resilient, but ready for the next phase of growth. For winners, the programme offers visibility, connection to a strong ASEAN SME community and access to continuous learning and collaboration opportunities.

Datuk William Ng, National President of SAMENTA, underscored the importance of this support. He said, “Malaysian SMEs are confronting some of the toughest market realities in decades. Yet the most progressive among them are proving that adversity can be a turning point. The SME100 Awards highlight these companies not simply for their achievements, but for the mindset they represent. They show the entire SME sector what is possible when we combine innovation, discipline and the willingness to change.”

The SME100 programme is further strengthened by the involvement of key industry partners. CTOS serves as the official credit reporting partner, Baker Tilly Malaysia as the official auditor and CGC Digital as the gold sponsor. Together, they enhance the transparency, credibility and relevance of the awards while reinforcing the broader ecosystem that supports SME growth.

New Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge Set for Inauguration on 25 December

By
Thongsavanh Souvannasane
-
The 5th Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge, linking Bolikhamxay and Bueng Kan, is fully completed and set to open on 25 December.

The fifth Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge, spanning 1,350 meters, connects Bolikhamxay Province in Laos with Bueng Kan Province in Thailand. The bridge has been fully completed and is scheduled for official inauguration on 25 December.

Funded through a THB 1.38 billion (approximately USD 38 million) concessional loan from Thailand’s Neighboring Countries Economic Development Cooperation Agency (NEDA), construction of the bridge began in January 2021. Once operational, it is expected to reduce travel time between Bolikhamxay and Bueng Kan by up to three hours while supporting Laos’ national development strategy of transforming from landlocked to land-linked.

Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith and Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) are expected to attend the inauguration ceremony.

Once operational the fifth friendship bridge will also facilitate a new highway corridor linking Vientiane Capital, passing through Bolikhamxay Province, and extending to Hanoi, Vietnam, enhancing regional transport and trade connectivity.

Currently, four Lao-Thai Friendship Bridges are in operation. 

The first bridge, connecting Vientiane and Nong Khai, is 1,174 meters long and opened in April 1994. The second one links Savannakhet Province with Mukdahan Province in Thailand, and was inaugurated in late 2006. 

The third bridge, connecting Khammouane Province and Nakhon Phanom Province opened in November 2011. Lastly, the fourth bridge, so far the longest at 2,480 meters, links Huay Xay district in Bokeo Province with Chiang Khong district in Chiang Rai Province and opened in December 2013.

With the fifth bridge set to open, Laos and Thailand are also planning the construction of a sixth Mekong River bridge, which would link Salavanh in southern Laos with Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand, further strengthening cross-border connectivity.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Samson Food Co Ltd, an agricultural corporation specializing in traditional foods based on hwangto salt and fermented anchovy extract, is accelerating the development of healthier food products while modernizing Korea’s culinary heritage.

Recently, the company expanded its lineup of processed seafood products utilizing hwangto salt and fish sauce, introducing vacuum-packed series such as Hwangto Salt Mackerel and Hwangto Barley Yellow Croaker. In particular, the newly launched premium “Wang-Wang Series,” featuring increased portion sizes, is designed for the gift market and is being actively distributed through online malls and regional specialty stores.

Located in Jangseong-gun, South Jeolla Province, Samson Food Co Ltd is a specialized manufacturer and distributor of hwangto salt and fermented food ingredients. Its flagship product, Directly Roasted Alkaline Salt with Hwangto, is produced by roasting salt at high temperatures in hwangto earthenware jars to remove impurities and enhance alkaline properties. The product has gained popularity across various consumer segments, including oral care, cooking, and gift markets.

In addition, the company’s 15-year-aged fermented anchovy extract and anchovy-based soy sauce are recognized for delivering deep, natural umami flavors without the use of chemical additives, highlighting the value of traditional fermentation methods.

A company representative stated, “Hwangto symbolizes purification. Our philosophy is to create the best taste through honest ingredients and the patience of time, without going against nature.” The new products have been available for full-scale distribution since October and can be purchased through the company’s official online store as well as distribution channels across South Jeolla Province.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BioTec’s new releases are attracting attention as technology-fusion solutions rarely seen in the current market. The company’s supplement developed with processed sulfur and microbial fermentation offers improved gut health and immune support for livestock and companion animals. Meanwhile, the ORP-reducing antioxidant salt provides differentiated functional benefits compared to standard refined salt, introducing a new paradigm in the functional food market.

One of the key advantages of these solutions is their ability to integrate seamlessly into existing farm infrastructures while delivering high-performance results, reducing cost burdens for both producers and consumers. With these innovations, BioTec expects to set a new benchmark that satisfies both sustainability and health value in the agricultural and consumer health sectors.

Looking ahead, BioTec plans to expand its pet supplement product line, develop functional foods based on antioxidant salt, and advance soy- and microbe-based alternative food research, aiming to evolve into a comprehensive bio-solution provider.

Agricultural Corporation Joeunsul Co., Ltd. Considers Entry into Indonesia, Expanding ASEAN Presence with Premium Traditional Rice Wine “Cheonbiyang Yakju”

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Korean traditional liquor brand Agricultural Corporation Joeunsul Co., Ltd. is exploring the possibility of entering the Indonesian market, led by its flagship product Cheonbiyang Yakju, which won the Presidential Award in 2025. Building on the depth of flavor, quality craftsmanship, and premium positioning of Korean traditional liquor, the company aims to nurture Cheonbiyang into a representative K-traditional liquor brand within the Southeast Asian market.

Joeunsul’s core product, Cheonbiyang Yakju, is meticulously brewed using only glutinous rice, non-glutinous rice, and house-made nuruk, following the traditional Oyangju (five-stage brewing) method. The product gained national recognition for its excellence after receiving the Presidential Award at the 2025 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards, establishing strong credibility in both taste and quality.

The company is closely monitoring rapidly evolving consumer trends across the ASEAN region. In parts of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, rising tourism and increasing income levels have driven growing demand for premium imported alcoholic beverages and high-end drinks. In particular, tourist destinations such as Bali are seeing heightened interest in unique and culturally distinctive liquors among foreign visitors and affluent consumers. Against this backdrop, Joeunsul expects quality-driven products like Cheonbiyang Yakju to find market potential within niche premium segments.

However, Indonesia presents significant regulatory challenges. According to local alcoholic beverage market reports, the country enforces strict regulations, including high import tariffs and excise taxes, licensing requirements, and restrictions on sales channels. Imported alcoholic beverages face substantial tax burdens, and sales are generally limited to licensed hotels, bars, and authorized retail outlets.

Taking these constraints into account, Joeunsul is strategically reviewing export opportunities centered on tourist areas, foreign resident hubs, and high-income districts within Indonesia. Rather than pursuing mass distribution in the initial phase, the company is considering a premium-focused approach targeting hotels, resorts, upscale restaurants, and buyers serving international customers.

A Joeunsul representative stated, “Cheonbiyang Yakju is more than an alcoholic beverage—it is a premium expression of Korea’s culture, tradition, and fermentation heritage. We hope to help shape a new traditional liquor market in Indonesia that can be enjoyed by both Korean and ASEAN consumers.” The representative added, “We are fully aware of regulatory and taxation challenges and are preparing for market entry through lawful distribution structures and strong local partnerships.”

Industry experts note that entering a tightly regulated market like Indonesia requires careful management of regulatory compliance, pricing strategy, distribution infrastructure, and cultural acceptance. Nevertheless, they also point out that if K-traditional liquor is positioned as a premium, high-value cultural product, it could secure meaningful competitiveness within niche segments of the Indonesian market.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ORGE Co., Ltd., a Korean premium food brand, is moving to enter the U.S. pet food market with a new line of dog treats and pet food made from organic chicken. The company recently held partnership discussions with major North American distributors and specialty pet store chains at the SuperZoo Fair in Las Vegas. Following strong on-site evaluations of its ingredient quality and safety standards, ORGE is now preparing to finalize formal export agreements.

ORGE’s newly launched pet food products are made exclusively with organic chicken raised on Korean farms and are formulated without preservatives, flavor enhancers, or artificial colorings, meeting the clean-label standards increasingly demanded by health-conscious North American consumers. In particular, its hypoallergenic recipes and high-protein functional product lineup received positive feedback for their strong market potential in the U.S., where small-breed and senior dogs represent a significant share of the pet population.

Two flagship products were unveiled at the exhibition: a high-protein performance dog food designed for active breeds, and a low-fat, organic freeze-dried chicken treat developed specifically for senior dogs. Both products attracted strong interest from key buyers and industry professionals.

ORGE is currently in discussions to secure distribution through major U.S. pet retail channels, including PetSmart and Chewy’s online platform, while also planning an initial rollout through local pet shop chains in California and Texas. In addition, the company plans to establish a U.S. subsidiary next year to improve logistics efficiency and to accelerate product localization by closely monitoring consumer feedback in real time.

An ORGE representative stated, “We aim to establish ourselves as a premium pet food brand that meets the expectations of U.S. consumers who treat their pets as family members. Building on the technology and safety standards of K-premium food brands, we plan to expand beyond North America into the global pet food market.”
