SINGAPORE, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC) will launch its festive season on 5 Dec 2025 (Fri) with a month-long Christmas Light-Up of the Clubhouse, illuminating its heritage marina in celebration of the holidays.

Building on the celebrations, RSYC warmly invites members of the media and public to its Christmas Boat Light-Up Parade on 13 Dec 2025 (Sat), from 6–9pm SGT, along 52 West Coast Ferry Road, Singapore 126887.

Visitors will be greeted by a spectacle of illuminated yachts, Christmas trees, twinkling fairy lights, and imaginative nautical decorations that cast shimmering reflections across the marina. Whether enjoyed from the West Coast promenade or viewed from the shoreline, the light-up parade promises a captivating festive experience unlike any other in Singapore.

Beyond the parade, the marina will come alive with festive market featuring artisanal crafts, seasonal treats, and interactive activities suitable for families. This rare opening of the Club’s usually members-only spaces allows visitors a special opportunity to experience RSYC’s hospitality during the most festive time of the year.

Note: On 12 Dec 2025 (Fri)  – a day before the parade – there will be an illuminated static boat display, and other activities such as carnival games, balloon sculpting, and a Christmas carolling session.

This year’s parade also serves as the official prelude to RSYC’s landmark Bicentennial Year in 2026 (#RSYC200), a momentous milestone celebrating 200 years of maritime heritage. It sets the stage for the Club’s upcoming Bicentennial Gala Dinner and Heritage Exhibition on 7 February 2026 (Sat), which will be graced by Guest-of-Honour President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for West Coast-Jurong West GRC, Desmond Lee.

The Bicentennial Gala Dinner will commemorate RSYC’s enduring contributions to Singapore’s maritime community, tracing its evolution from its early beginnings, through World War II (the Japanese Occupation), and to its present-day role as an anchor of nautical tradition and camaraderie. Notably, the Club’s relationship with Singapore’s leadership has been longstanding – President Yusof Ishak served as RSYC’s first Patron in Singapore, following earlier royal patronage by Prince Edward, later King Edward VIII, in 1922.

The parade marks the beginning of a journey into RSYC’s year-long Bicentennial celebrations in 2026, which will include regattas, heritage exhibitions, community initiatives, and a slate of special commemorative events that blend tradition with forward-looking innovation.

SINGAPORE, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MediThinQ, a fast-growing innovator in surgical displays and digital 3D microscopy, today announced that world-renowned reconstructive microsurgeon Prof. Joon-pio Hong has joined the company as Chief Medical Officer. His decision marks one of the strongest clinical endorsements to date for MediThinQ’s next-generation digital microsurgery platform, SHIYA 20.

Prof. Hong is President of the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, Professor at Asan Medical Center in Korea, and Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University in the United States. Widely regarded as a global authority in reconstructive and super-microsurgery, he has published extensively, trained surgeons worldwide, and consistently advocated for technologies that advance surgical precision and outcomes. He brings world-class clinical leadership and global credibility to support MediThinQ’s education programs, clinical adoption, and ongoing innovation around SHIYA 20.

SHIYA 20 is among the first fully integrated 3D digital microsurgery platforms, unifying visualization, ergonomics, and data capture into one surgeon-centered system. Over the past year, Prof. Hong’s intensive hands-on experience with SHIYA 20 in live surgeries and global training programs has provided meaningful real-world validation for surgeons and hospitals considering next-generation digital visualization technologies.

“MediThinQ is shaping the next era of microsurgery,” said Prof. Hong. “With a full range of low- to high-power magnification (up to 20x), true 3D digital data, and real ergonomic freedom, SHIYA 20 gives surgeons the clarity, comfort, and connectivity we have long needed. These elements are essential for safer and more precise microsurgery, not just conveniences. SHIYA 20 brings them together in a single platform, opening the door to a more efficient, data-driven, and future-ready operating room. I’m excited to help accelerate its global impact.”

Mr. Seungjoon Im, Founder & CEO of MediThinQ, said: “Prof. Hong’s decision to join MediThinQ underscores the clinical trust we have earned from the surgical community.

Revolutionary drainage solution addresses critical maintenance challenges in the region’s diverse climate conditions

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Panduit, a global leader in electrical and network infrastructure solutions, today announced the launch of its Solar Drain Clip in the Asia Pacific market. This innovative product addresses one of the most significant challenges facing solar installations across the region’s diverse climates: water accumulation and its negative impact on solar panel efficiency and longevity.

The Asia Pacific region has seen unprecedented growth in solar energy adoption, with installations expected to increase by 40% over the next five years. However, the region’s varied climate conditions—from monsoon seasons to high humidity environments—present unique challenges for maintaining optimal solar panel performance.

“Water accumulation on solar panels is particularly problematic across APAC where intense rainfall and humidity can accelerate dirt buildup and algae growth,” said Gavin Lee, Business Development Director for Asia Pacific. “Our Solar Drain Clip provides a simple yet effective solution that can significantly reduce maintenance costs while maximizing energy output—addressing a critical need for solar installations throughout the region.”

Optimized Drainage for Maximum Efficiency

The Solar Drain Clip improves drainage by effectively directing water off panel surfaces, minimizing residue buildup that can cause shading and reduced power output. By maintaining cleaner panel surfaces, the clip helps sustain consistent energy generation in all weather conditions, a particular advantage during monsoon seasons experienced across many parts of APAC.

Engineered for Asia Pacific’s Demanding Environments

With an estimated service life exceeding 20 years*, the Solar Drain Clip is specifically designed to withstand the region’s harshest environmental conditions, from extreme heat and humidity to heavy seasonal rainfall. This durability stands in harsh contrast to lower-grade alternatives that typically require replacement within 1-2 years.

“For large-scale solar installations across Asia Pacific, the reduction in maintenance frequency translates to significant operational cost savings,” added Lee. “This makes our Solar Drain Clip particularly valuable for utility-scale solar farms and commercial installations throughout the region.”

Key Features and Benefits:

• Tool-Free Installation: Simple clip-on mechanism enables quick installation or removal, reducing labor costs
• Universal Compatibility: Unique range-taking design accommodates most solar panel frame thicknesses, simplifying inventory management
• Retrofit Capability: Equally effective for both new installations and existing solar arrays needing performance improvements
• Regional Testing: Extensively tested in various APAC climate conditions to ensure optimal performance

Availability

The Panduit Solar Drain Clip is now available through authorized Panduit distributors across the APAC region. For more information, visit https://www.panduit.com/asean/en/products/featured-products/panduit-solar-drain-clip.html or contact your local Panduit representative.
