MALAYSIA’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY ACHIEVEMENT SHOULD NOT BE MISREPRESENTED

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) wishes to address recent public commentary which appears to question the validity of Malaysian universities’ global recognition in sustainability and impact-based rankings.

While public discourse on higher education is welcomed, it must be based on accurate context. The recent achievement of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) among the world’s top 10 universities refers specifically to the Times Higher Education (THE) Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026, not the QS World University Rankings.

In this ranking, USM was placed 5th globally, while UKM was ranked joint 7th globally, placing Malaysia among countries with two universities in the world’s top 10. THE Sustainability Impact Ratings assess universities’ contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including sustainability, research, teaching, institutional responsibility and community impact.

Commenting on the matter, EMGS Chief Executive Officer, Novie Tajuddin, said:

“Malaysia’s achievement in the THE Sustainability Impact Ratings should not be dismissed or misrepresented simply because it is different from other global rankings. Each ranking has its own methodology and purpose. This recognition reflects how our universities are contributing to society, sustainability and global development, which are central to the true role of higher education.”

He added that Malaysia’s placement among the global top 10 is a national achievement that deserves fair recognition.

“To be listed alongside leading universities from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and other advanced higher education systems is not a small achievement. It reflects years of work by our universities in research, community engagement, sustainability and institutional responsibility. Questioning this recognition without proper context does a disservice to the efforts of our academic institutions,” he said.

EMGS also wishes to emphasise that international students, academic partners, governments and scholarship bodies refer to various credible global rankings, including THE, when evaluating universities. These rankings serve different purposes and collectively provide a broader view of institutional quality, reputation, impact and relevance.

Malaysia’s strong performance in THE Sustainability Impact Ratings reinforces the country’s position as a trusted and progressive international education destination. EMGS remains committed to promoting the Study in Malaysia brand globally and to presenting Malaysia’s higher education achievements accurately, confidently and responsibly.

SHANGHAI and GUANGZHOU, China, July 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sanyou Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Sanyou Bio”) and Guangzhou Baiyunshan Xihe Health Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Baiyunshan Xihe”) jointly announced the official signing of a strategic cooperation agreement. This partnership will focus on the co-development of novel radiopharmaceuticals and radiodiagnostic products, aiming to integrate their respective core strengths in AI-driven innovative drug molecule discovery and the full industrial value chain of nuclear medicine.

Baiyunshan Xihe will rely on its end-to-end capabilities in novel medical radionuclide production, GMP manufacturing, and clinical translation to advance partnered molecules into radiolabeling, in vitro and in vivo evaluation, and preclinical studies, thereby accelerating the industrialization of innovative radiopharmaceuticals and radiodiagnostic products.

This strategic partnership aims to generate core value through deep integration across multiple dimensions:

1. Building an End-to-End Innovation Closed Loop:

Establish an integrated collaborative R&D model of “AI-driven molecular discovery – radionuclide labeling – clinical translation,” seamlessly connecting upstream molecular discovery capabilities with the radiopharmaceutical industrialization platform, significantly shortening the development timeline from target concept to radiopharmaceutical candidate compounds.

2. Developing a Differentiated Product Portfolio:

By combining Sanyou Bio’s extensive experience in innovative drug development and its strengths in AI-driven molecular discovery with Baiyunshan Xihe’s standardized production technologies for key medical radionuclides such as Gallium-68, Zirconium-89, Copper-64, and Rhenium-186, the two parties will jointly develop internationally competitive theranostic radiopharmaceuticals and novel radiodiagnostic products.

3. Building a New Industrial Ecosystem for Collaboration:

Both parties will integrate their deep resources in innovative drug R&D services and the nuclear medicine industry chain, jointly explore open and mutually beneficial collaboration models, enhance China’s upstream innovation capabilities in radiopharmaceuticals, and promote high-quality industry development.

Liu Hong, Chairman and General Manager of Baiyunshan Xihe, stated:

“We are very pleased to enter into this strategic collaboration with Sanyou Bio. As a leading enterprise in Guangzhou’s nuclear medicine industry chain, Baiyunshan Xihe has established a fully integrated value chain from radionuclide production to clinical services, and has developed a dual-track product portfolio featuring both self-developed nanobody-based RDCs and mature microsphere products. Sanyou Bio’s AI-STAL platform for upstream drug discovery is globally leading, with a library capacity exceeding 11 trillion and outstanding screening capabilities. This collaboration will strongly complement our capabilities in targeting molecule discovery and accelerate the layout and advancement of our theranostic radiopharmaceutical pipeline. We look forward to this deep integration of ‘discovery + translation’ to jointly develop truly clinically valuable innovative radiopharmaceutical products.”

Dr. Lang Guojun, Founder and CEO of Sanyou Bio, stated:

“This collaboration with Baiyunshan Xihe represents an important extension of Sanyou Bio’s mission—’To make it easy to develop new drugs worldwide’—into the cutting-edge field of nuclear medicine. Backed by the strong industrial resources of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings, Baiyunshan Xihe has built solid capabilities in radionuclide production and full value-chain integration. This strategic synergy is a key step in deeply connecting our AI-driven molecular discovery capabilities with a leading radiopharmaceutical industrialization platform. We believe that, through the dual engines of ‘intelligent molecular design’ and ‘precise radionuclide labeling,’ we can provide truly fundamental solutions to upstream innovation challenges in nuclear medicine, jointly empowering the technological upgrade of the global nuclear medicine industry.”

This strategic collaboration marks a solid step forward for Sanyou Bio in deepening industrial synergy and expanding into cutting-edge application areas. Starting from this partnership, both parties will continue to explore broader collaboration opportunities and strive to become a benchmark force driving upstream innovation in radiopharmaceutical development in China.

About Jack’s Place

Established in 1966, Jack’s Place is the trusted favourite known for its Western food. It all started when Mr. Say Lip Hai arrived in Singapore from Hainan Island and started as a cook boy with the British troops in Sembawang. There he learned how to prepare the perfect roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Having tasted one of Mr Say’s now famous meals, a British housewife suggested he start a catering business with her husband, Jack Hunt, in his pub at Killiney Road, Jack’s Place, which he started in 1966. Mr Say agreed and commenced that partnership in 1968. Shortly afterwards, Jack Hunt sold his share of the business, but his namesake ‘Jack the Chef’ still runs the kitchen today!

Today, Jack’s Place is the trusted favourite for family and friends to enjoy great value sizzling steaks, speciality meals, and sumptuous cakes. Jack’s Place is committed to serving quality food and creating memorable dining experiences in a cheerful and cosy environment for our guests.

About JP Pepperdine

JP Pepperdine is a group of restaurants that started with the popular Jack’s Place Steakhouse in 1966, followed by Eatzi Gourmet divisions (Steakhouse, bakery, and catering).

What inspires JP Pepperdine is to create a unique experience for their guests. Interestingly, it is a lesson that they take from the kitchen itself. Drawing on the admirable qualities of pepper, JP Pepperdine aspires to spice up the dining experience in all ways, big and small. In big ways, JP Pepperdine will be adventurous, sizzling up the F&B scene with fresh concepts and food creations.

Straits Forum | Taiwanese Youth Tells: Six Years Rooted in the Mainland – From Starting a Business to Ringing the Bell at HKEX

XIAMEN, China, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a news report by Hong Kong Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group Limited:


The 18th Straits Forum was held on June 13 in Xiamen, Fujian, China. At the forum, three Taiwanese youths from different fields shared their wonderful stories of working and living in the mainland. “Our success benefits from the mainland’s very complete innovation system, abundant data resources, high-quality talent pool, active capital market, and comprehensive policy support.” Chris Lai, co-founder, chairman and CEO of Metis TechBio Co., Ltd., shared how, after graduating with a PhD from MIT, he returned to the mainland and received full support from the governments of Hangzhou and Beijing in terms of funding, talent, and industrial chains. By integrating artificial intelligence with biomedicine, after six years of hard work, Metis TechBio Co., Ltd. successfully rang the bell at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in May this year, becoming the world’s first AI-driven drug delivery listed company.

The germ of scientific research aspiration gives rise to entrepreneurial ideas

Chris Lai’s connection with gene editing and biomedicine began in high school. After graduating from university, he went abroad to pursue a doctoral degree. Upon graduation in 2017, at a café in Massachusetts, he discussed the development prospects of AI in manufacturing with his now-partner, Professor Hongmin Chen, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. At that time, the new nano-drug developed by the other team had just been successfully launched. Right there, they sketched out their entrepreneurial blueprint on a napkin: to build a professional laboratory in the pharmaceutical field, relying on AI technology to achieve precise nano-delivery of drugs, repair diseased cells, and explore anti-aging directions for cells.

Rooting in the mainland for entrepreneurship, deepening technology to achieve breakthroughs

But limited by the technology level at the time, and with the industry generally taking a wait-and-see attitude, this plan did not officially materialize until 2019. “That year, our project won the second prize in the Hangzhou Maker Competition and received RMB 10 million in funding support.” In Hangzhou, the local government provided concierge-style services, assisting with company registration, site selection, providing talent apartments and various subsidies, and proactively connecting industry resources to fully support the technology team’s development. It took less than three months to complete the renovation of the experimental site, helping to quickly build an experimental platform. “These made us determined to root our entrepreneurship in the mainland.”

The entrepreneurial journey was full of challenges. In the early stages, various AI-developed drug carriers failed repeatedly in animal experiments, putting tremendous pressure on the team. Fortunately, Hangzhou continued to connect various R&D resources, supporting Chris Lai’s team to experiment repeatedly and iterate continuously. Over three years, Chris Lai’s team built a globally leading dry-wet experimental data platform and a tens-of-millions-level industry knowledge base.

“With AI technology, we dramatically reduced costs and improved efficiency, compressing the clinical R&D cycle for nano-materials from several years to several months, completely disrupting the traditional industry model.” With policy support and multiple rounds of financing, in just a few years, Chris Lai’s company grew into an industry unicorn. The nucleic acid drug design platform project led by Chris Lai was also selected as a national key biomedical technology breakthrough project.

Mainland’s AI leads globally, young people become the main force

Chris Lai remarked that starting a business in the mainland is vastly different from doing so overseas. “In the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, young scientists like me, though technology leaders, can usually only work at the technical level and are unlikely to be involved in company management; the industry ceiling is very low. But in China, it’s completely different. This is an era of young people. Entrepreneurs born after 1985, 1990, or even 2000 have become the main force, achieving various breakthroughs in deep AI application development, which deeply moves me.” Chris Lai said that China has already taken the lead globally in artificial intelligence, and AI is now transforming every industry and has become an innovation booster in biomedicine.

Chris Lai introduced that the team has set up a new R&D center in Beijing’s Zhongguancun, bringing together top talents from Peking University, Tsinghua University, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, and others, with a well-established medical investment system and industry guidance funds. “Within just a few months after settling in, the local authorities helped us connect with international pharmaceutical companies, vaccine enterprises, and clinical hospitals, empowering our hard-tech breakthroughs along the entire chain.” Today, Chris Lai’s AI nano-drug delivery platform can precisely deliver drugs to multiple organs such as the liver, lungs, heart, and gastrointestinal tract, like building a dedicated “drug rocket” inside the body, opening up a brand-new technological track.

The mainland has sincerity, policies, and warmth

On May 13 this year, Metis TechBio Co., Ltd. was listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the world’s first AI drug delivery listed company. Chris Lai also became the first Taiwanese youth to take a hard-tech enterprise from zero to IPO in mainland China. Looking back, the partners who studied with Chris Lai at the time are now starting businesses in different cities. The small team of six people has now incubated four listed and pre-listed companies.

“As a beneficiary of cross-strait integrated development, I want to say to Taiwanese youth: the mainland has sincerity, policies, and warmth for Taiwanese youth. As long as you are willing to come, stay down-to-earth, and combine your expertise with the industrial advantages here, you will surely find your own stage.” Chris Lai encouraged Taiwanese youth, saying that artificial intelligence is a young cause and also a cause for young people. This is a critical stage for building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation. He hopes that young people on both sides of the strait will join hands, transform technological creativity into tangible products, and realize personal value in the journey of national rejuvenation.
