The event gathered over 350 distinguished guests, including Mr.Sam Hou Fai, Chief Executive of the Macao SAR; Susiwijono Moegiarso, Secretary of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Republic of Indonesia; and Wang Lutong, Chinese Ambassador to Indonesia. Also in attendance were members of the Macao SAR Government and entrepreneur delegations, representatives from the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia, and prominent figures from various sectors in Indonesia.

Mr.Sam Hou Fai stated that the implementation of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and the Macao SAR’s 3rd Five-Year Plan will unlock cooperation opportunities between Macao and Indonesia. He noted that Indonesia is the birthplace of the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” and both Macao and Indonesia are pivotal nodes along this route. Guided by the Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Indonesia Comprehensive Strategic Dialogue mechanism, the friendly cooperative ties are poised to deepen further.

In the first half of this year, international visitor to Macao rose by 6% year-on-year, with approximately 88,000 Indonesian tourists—ranking among the top source markets in Southeast Asia. This highlights the close ties between Macao and Indonesia in people-to-people exchanges, trade, and tourism. The Macao SAR Government is committed to promoting exchanges at all levels. By leveraging Macao’s role as a vital bridgehead for China’s high-level opening-up and as a “precise connector,” Macao aims to strengthen all-around, pragmatic cooperation in trade, investment, MICE, tourism, and cultural exchanges, actively contributing to a China-Indonesia community with a shared future.

Edi Prio Pambudi, Deputy Minister for International Economic Cooperation of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of Indonesia, stated in his speech that under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, Macao has built an outstanding international reputation with its long-term stability, high degree of openness, and strong connectivity. As a vital hub for mutual learning between Chinese and Western civilizations, Macao has successfully gathered global talent, capital, and creativity. Indonesian sectors widely applaud and anticipate Macao’s economic diversification.

He noted that close economic and cultural ties have driven Macao enterprises to invest in Indonesian projects like construction and transportation. In terms of tourism, Macao welcomed over 200,000 visitors from Indonesia last year, ranking Indonesia among Macao’s top source markets in Southeast Asia. Indonesia’s visa-free policy for Macao SAR passport holders will further facilitate mutual exchanges. Looking ahead, Indonesia and Macao share vast potential for cooperation in Halal products, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and connectivity.

The Mineral Boutique Limited Welcomes CCS Clarification and Reaffirms Asia Growth Strategy

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore clarified that The Mineral Boutique Limited was not part of the DNA Brands investigation, as the Hong Kong beauty and wellness company looks to its next phase of growth across Asia


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – The Mineral Boutique Limited, the Hong Kong-registered owner of The Mineral Boutique brand and trademarks, welcomes the clarification issued by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (“CCS”) concerning its investigation into DNA Brands Co Pte Ltd.

The Mineral Boutique Limited Welcomes CCS Clarification and Reaffirms Asia Growth Strategy

In its clarification of 11 August 2026, CCS confirmed that references to The Mineral Boutique concerned specific Singapore outlets operated by DNA Brands, and that The Mineral Boutique Limited was not subject to the investigation. This distinction has subsequently been reflected in updated media reporting.

CCS stated:

“The Mineral Boutique Limited, and any outlets other than those named above trading under The Mineral Boutique brand trademarks, were not subject to this investigation.”

The distinction is important: operating particular retail outlets under a brand name is separate from ownership or management of the underlying brand.

Because the relevant Singapore outlets traded under The Mineral Boutique name, earlier public reporting sometimes conflated operation of those particular outlets with ownership or management of the underlying brand. The CCS clarification allows that distinction to be reflected accurately in the continuing public record.

The Mineral Boutique Limited supports the continued identification of the relevant Singapore outlets where necessary to assist consumers and the CCS refund process. The company has asked publishers only to ensure that the continuing public record accurately distinguishes those DNA Brands-operated outlets from The Mineral Boutique Limited and its wider business.

CCS’s refund scheme identifies the relevant Singapore outlets at Jewel Changi Airport, NEX and Wheelock Place among the outlets operated by DNA Brands. Consumers who may be eligible for the refund scheme can continue to contact the Consumers Association of Singapore (“CASE”) directly.

Building the Next Phase of The Mineral Boutique

With this distinction now reflected in the official record, The Mineral Boutique is focused on its next stage of development.

The Mineral Boutique is a beauty and wellness concept with an established retail and spa presence across Hong Kong and Macau. Its approach brings together mineral-powered skincare, professional treatments, advanced beauty technology and wellness within an integrated customer experience.

The brand has received consecutive recognition from Vogue Hong Kong, including Best Beauty Flash at the 2025 Vogue Hong Kong Beauty Awards and Best Anti-Aging Mask at the 2026 awards.

Kimmy Lee, Chief Commercial Officer of The Mineral Boutique Limited, said:

“The Mineral Boutique will continue to grow across Asia through a more holistic approach that connects skincare, advanced beauty technology, professional treatments and wellness.

“An upcoming collaboration with Paris-based 48 Collagen Café is one example of how we are extending the customer experience beyond traditional beauty retail.

“We remain focused on innovation, trusted partnerships and consistently high standards of service as we build the next chapter of The Mineral Boutique across the region.”

The Mineral Boutique Limited will continue working constructively with media, partners and other stakeholders to ensure the public record remains accurate while advancing its long-term growth strategy across Asia.

President Thongloun Sisoulith attended the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Plus Meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, from 31 August to 1 September, calling for stronger multilateral cooperation and a fairer international order while advancing Laos’ ties with India and Kyrgyzstan.

The summit focused on the contribution of SCO Plus countries to building a multipolar world.

During the meeting, Thongloun reaffirmed Laos’ support for multilateral cooperation and the central role of the United Nations in international affairs. He said international cooperation should be based on sovereign equality, mutual respect, non-interference in internal affairs, peaceful settlement of disputes and mutually beneficial cooperation.

Laos identified four priority areas for potential cooperation: agriculture and food security, digital transformation, transport and connectivity, and banking and finance.

The government said these areas are interconnected and could support sustainable development. Laos also expressed its readiness to make a constructive contribution as an SCO Dialogue Partner after receiving the status in this July, including by strengthening links between Southeast Asia and Eurasia.

Bilateral Talks

On the sidelines of the summit, Thongloun met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss strengthening bilateral ties and cooperation between India and Laos.

He also held his first bilateral meeting with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov since Laos and Kyrgyzstan established diplomatic relations in 1995. The two leaders agreed to deepen political, economic, trade and transport cooperation, share experiences in developing landlocked economies, and strengthen Laos’ engagement as an SCO Dialogue Partner.

A separate analysis by CGTN’s Liu Yuanhui said SCO participation could give smaller countries another platform to expand international partnerships without having to choose between competing geopolitical camps.

For Laos, the analysis described the SCO as “another route to cooperation” while allowing the country to maintain its strategic independence.

Declares its first interim dividend

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 September 2026 – Starjoy (3662) announced its interim results for the first half of 2026. The Company’s net profit was RMB23.1 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 10%. Core net profit amounted to RMB43.7 million. Basic earnings per share was RMB2.87 cents. The Company declared its first interim dividend, implying an annualized dividend yield of approximately 4.8%. It will continue to strive to enhance corporate value, foster sustainable development, and deliver long‑term returns and value to shareholders.

In recent years, the macro‑economic environment and real estate sector have remained uncertain, and market pressures persist. However, the Company has proactively adjusted its strategy, taking “long-term sustainability” as the core of its development and actively withdrawn from projects with risks, persistently low collection rates, and sustained cash flow losses, while actively improving service quality, focusing on management, rigorously controlling costs, and optimising supplier payment terms. As a result, the Company is well‑positioned to navigate market volatility, with greater focus on managing competitive projects so as to stabilise and mitigate adverse financial impacts. The Company anticipates that these strategic adjustments will yield results, financial impacts will stabilise and the strategy will deliver tangible outcomes going forward.

Looking ahead, the Company will continue to implement its prudent strategy and proactively respond to the challenges of the external economic environment and markets through resilient operational management. In terms of development strategies, the Company will break conventional mindsets, strive to optimise and adjust its management portfolio, and actively pursue new business areas. These include overseas property management projects, real estate and property management-related industries, as well as proactive transformation into new areas such as smart communities and artificial intelligence (AI).

It will also actively advance technology implementation and focus on applied research for smart communities and AI, to foster the digital transformation of traditional property management. Meanwhile, aligned with national strategics and seizing the opportunities of the times, the Company will conduct in‑depth research across sectors including intelligence-driven development, China’s silver economy, the elderly-care industry and community-based elderly care renovation. This will help build new competitive strengths and growth inflection points, while the Company remains committed to enhancing long‑term value for shareholders and the enterprise.

Moreover, the Company has declared its first interim dividend, demonstrating management’s resolve to proactively reward shareholders. The Company looks forward to sharing the business progress and returns with all shareholders and investors, as it continues to optimise its business portfolio and pursue transformational development.

Armstrong Fluid Technology Highlights ‘Intelligent Design and Energy-Efficient Technology’ at BEX Asia 2026

SINGAPORE, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Armstrong Fluid Technology, a global leader in intelligent, energy-saving fluid-flow and whole-building mechanical solutions, is showcasing its latest HVAC solutions for the Asia-Pacific building sector at BEX Asia, the region’s leading green building and sustainability exhibition, this week at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This year’s booth experience centers on a clear, customer-driven theme: intelligent design and energy-efficient technology. Visitors can explore Armstrong solutions at the Canada National Pavilion throughout the show.

Attendees engage with Armstrong Fluid Technology representatives at the Ontario Canada Pavilion during BEX Asia 2026 in Singapore.
Attendees engage with Armstrong Fluid Technology representatives at the Ontario Canada Pavilion during BEX Asia 2026 in Singapore.

As buildings across Asia face increasing performance, efficiency, and decarbonization demands, Armstrong is demonstrating how intelligent design and system-level optimization empower architects, consulting engineers, contractors, and specifiers to deliver more efficient, better-performing HVAC systems.

Intelligent Design

Integrated Designer, a powerful capability within Armstrong’s ADEPT selection tool, anchors the Intelligent Design experience, simplifying the selection and sizing of systems and related equipment from a single interface. Visitors will see how integrated selection and system design in one workflow, real-time system performance estimates, and one-click export of equipment schedules and submittal packages reduce manual calculations and support faster, more confident decisions.

Energy-Efficient Technology

Design Envelope Permanent Magnet (DEPM) IVS4380 pumps, Armstrong’s system-level optimization technology, anchors the Energy-Efficient Technology experience. HVAC systems spend roughly 90 percent of their operating hours at part load, yet many buildings are still designed around peak-demand assumptions. Design Envelope optimizes entire systems rather than individual components, using sensorless parallel pumping to keep equipment within its preferred operating region as demand shifts through the day. Performance Envelopes with best-efficiency staging versus traditional duty-standby configurations show how redundancy can be right-sized to each building — aligned with ASHRAE guidance, from around 70 percent for typical commercial buildings to up to 100 percent for mission-critical facilities such as data centres. A 3D-printed model of the Design Envelope 4300 will bring the technology to life at the booth.

“Buildings don’t run at full load, and systems for them shouldn’t be designed as if they do,” said Ashok Joshi, Managing Director, India & APAC, Armstrong Fluid Technology. “Integrated Designer and Design Envelope give engineers and building owners a way to right-size their systems from day one, cutting energy use and equipment costs without compromising redundancy or reliability.”

Together, these experiences demonstrate how Armstrong’s intelligent design and energy-efficient technologies deliver measurable value for architects, consulting engineers, contractors, and building owners across the region. BEX Asia attendees are invited to meet with Armstrong experts for technical discussions, solution demonstrations, and one-to-one performance consultations at the Canada National Pavilion.

About Armstrong Fluid Technology:

Armstrong Fluid Technology is a global leader in intelligent, energy-efficient fluid-flow and whole-building mechanical solutions. With operations worldwide, Armstrong helps organizations eliminate inefficiency, improve system reliability, and reduce operating costs through innovative products and digital solutions. Serving multiple industries, the company is committed to sustainability and aims for net-zero carbon operations by 2030. Learn more at www.armstrongfluidtechnology.com.
