New Music Online Learning System: Sheung’s Studio Brings the Beauty of Pop Music to All ASIAN

HONG KONG – Media OutReach – 29 May 2023 – The pop music scene in Hong Kong has recently experienced an unprecedented boom due to the relaxation of epidemic prevention restrictions by the Hong Kong government. However, from the perspective of the general public, apart from “listening” to pop music, can pop music be “played” properly? To enable more people to master the advanced accompaniment skills of playing pop music, Sheung’s Studio has recently created the four concepts of pop music and the “ARRS” system. In the future, the school intends to make use of its online “Improvisation Accompaniment Training Program” to promote the local pop music industry from the public level and to draw musical connections in East Asia.

Looking back to the first half of 2023, Hong Kong’s entertainment activities are back to normal and “revenge entertainment” is on the rise. Jay Chou, BLACKPINK, Alan Walker and many other international superstars came to Hong Kong, and a wide range of music festivals were held in various districts, including the Clockenflap Festival, which sold out for the first time ever. In addition to the “star-crossing” craze in Hong Kong in recent years, pop music has become a hot topic and Cantonese pop songs have gained importance in Hong Kong society. In order to promote local pop music education, business development and community connection, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department organizes the Hong Kong Pop Culture Festival 2023, a free pop music performance at four of its venues to showcase the vitality and artistic culture of the public.

Sheung’s Studio has recently launched a new music e-learning system that aims to enable more people to master the advanced accompaniment skills of playing pop music. The school introduces a system called ARRS, which helps students learn to accompany common pop tunes and improvise in a short period of time by simplifying the rules of chord progressions. In addition, Sheung’s Studio has introduced four major concepts of pop tunes, including melody concept, chord concept, rhythm concept and improvisation concept, to help students fully understand the elements of pop music.

The school is committed to promoting local pop music education, business development and community connection. In the future, they plan to promote the local pop music industry through their online “Improvisation Accompaniment Training Program” and build music connections in East Asia. Through Sheung’s Studio’s online learning system, students can learn pop music skills and interact with other music lovers anytime, anywhere.

Sheung’s Studio believes that playing pop music does not require a high threshold, but only a basic knowledge of music theory and chord understanding to get started. They hope to provide a platform for music lovers to learn and showcase, so that more people can experience the charm of pop music and become a part of it.

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) raises interest rate after a long pause: implications for the ringgit

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 26 May 2023 – BNM’s decision to raise the interest rate was an attempt to stabilise the Malaysian ringgit. The OctaFX experts believe that along with the weak exchange rate, the widespread subsidisation of Malaysians increased pro-inflation risks, forcing the BNM to raise the rate.

Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) Monetary Policy Committee raised the overnight policy rate (OPR) by 25 basis points to 3.00% on 3 May 2023. This move comes after two meetings where rates remained unchanged. The main reasons behind the increase are the continuing high inflationary pressure and the weakened national currency.

The Central Bank also said it wanted to do away with extensive subsidies, which, in addition to being available to all citizens regardless of wealth, had considerable pro-inflationary pressure, straining the state treasury. Nevertheless, the policy change has had an effect. According to 1Q2023 statistics, the domestic demand is growing along with an overall improvement in working conditions.

‘The contractionary monetary policy pursued by Bank Negara Malaysia looks justified, given the extensive subsidy program, and suggests a high probability of further rate hikes,’ said Kar Yong Ang, the OctaFX financial market analyst.

Following BNM’s decision, the ringgit initially gained 0.3% against the USD. However, the positive effect proved short-lived, as two weeks later, the ringgit lost more than 1.0% and is now approaching historic lows. If the downward trend continues, the next target for USDMYR is 4.75, marking a 24-year low not seen since the Asian financial crisis.

According to Kar Yong Ang, ‘the continued weakening of the national currency increases inflationary pressures, prompting the regulator to adopt a more rigid position. Nevertheless, achieving rate normalisation will require time, even with additional interest rate hikes and subsidy cuts. Higher global interest rates, a risk-off environment, and sluggish growth of China’s economy will further weaken the ringgit in 2Q2023 and early 3Q2023.’
