Anchored by MIFF FDC 2026, MIFF FDC CLUB, and xOrdinary Design Exhibition, the ecosystem nurtures young talent, fosters collaboration, and celebrates design innovation globally.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF), Southeast Asia’s largest export-oriented furniture trade show, is taking bold steps to future-proof Malaysia’s furniture industry. Alongside its flagship exhibition and design showcases, MIFF 2026 will bring its strategic initiatives to life: the MIFF Furniture Design Competition (MIFF FDC) 2026, themed “Playful. Practical. Purposeful: Furniture for Generation Alpha,” and the MIFF FDC CLUB, a year-round platform connecting design talent with manufacturers.

Since its establishment in 2010, the MIFF Furniture Design Competition has been MIFF’s flagship platform to discover and nurture young Malaysian design talent. Now entering its 16th edition, MIFF FDC 2026 challenges designers under 40 to create bedroom furniture for children aged 5–9 that balances imagination with practicality, designed for the lifestyles of Generation Alpha and their Millennial parents.

“This is about designing for the future consumer,” said Dr Eric Leong, Chief Judge of MIFF FDC. “The competition encourages fresh ideas that not only respond to how children live and learn today but also enhance Malaysia’s design reputation globally.”

Winners of MIFF FDC 2026 will receive cash prizes totalling RM12,000 in value, trophies, and recognition – including awards for Best Mentor and Best Institution. Submissions close on 1 December 2025. The 2025 edition drew 335 entries from 30 institutions and private firms, underscoring MIFF FDC’s growing industry relevance. Design students and young professionals are invited to enter at www.mifffdc.com.

Building on MIFF FDC’s success, MIFF has launched the MIFF FDC CLUB to create a continuous ecosystem for collaboration and growth. Operating through three strategic pillars – CONNECT (networking), SELECT (curated collaborations), and EDIT (content development) – the MIFF FDC CLUB bridges young designers with established manufacturers. Its members gain opportunities ranging from facility tours to prototype development, while manufacturers access fresh design perspectives to strengthen competitiveness.

At a recent virtual matching session, five young designers were successfully paired with local manufacturers via the SELECT programme: Wong Lilie, MIFF FDC 2025 – 1st Place Winner, collaborated with Amber Office Sdn Bhd; Ong Jing Rou, MIFF FDC 2025 – 2nd Place Winner, partnered with 5R/Smart Top Surface Solution Sdn Bhd; Aric Neo Yong Yea, MIFF FDC 2023 – 1st Place Winner, matched with Alian Furniture Industries Sdn Bhd; Ong Chia Yong, MIFF FDC 2024 – Special Mention, collaborated with Isella Sofa Design Sdn Bhd; and Lim Li Quan Bryan, MIFF FDC 2023 – 3rd Place Winner, partnered with Yeu Hong Furniture Industries Sdn Bhd.

These collaborations will debut as new product designs at MIFF 2026, granting emerging designers valuable international exposure. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ceremony between designer-exhibitor pairs who participated in the SELECT programme and Informa Markets Malaysia was held on 10 October 2025 at MITEC, Kuala Lumpur witnessed by Dato’ Tan Chin Huat, Founder & Chairman of MIFF, Mr. Steve Ong, President of Muar Furniture Association (MFA), and Dr. Eric Leong, Chief Judge of MIFF FDC 2026 & Mentor of MIFF FDC CLUB.

“Over the past three decades, MIFF has been demonstrating its commitment towards the sustainable growth of the Malaysia furniture industry,” said Ms Kelie Lim, General Manager of MIFF. “While MIFF FDC discovers emerging talent, the MIFF FDC CLUB ensures that talent thrives beyond the competition. Together, they form a complete pipeline from creativity to commerce. Through nurturing design talent and fostering industry partnerships, MIFF provides the platform for Malaysia’s furniture sector to continue evolving and thriving for generations to come.” 

The Organiser is calling for fellow Designers, industry key stakeholders and manufacturers to join the MIFF FDC CLUB. Anyone interested can learn more updates at www.mifffdc.com.

——Equipped with MTK 8300 and an 2.5K 8.8-inch 144HZ high-refresh-rate gaming screen

TOKYO, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As a pioneer in the gaming tablet sector, Headwolf has always centered its innovations around gamers’ needs. Today, it officially unveils its flagship gaming tablet—the Headwolf Titan 1—which redefines the benchmark for gaming tablets with its exceptional performance, custom accessories, and compatibility with global blockbuster games.

A “Performance Titan” Through and Through

The Headwolf Titan 1 lives up to its “Performance Titan” reputation, powered by the MTK Dimensity 8300 processor (built on TSMC’s 2nd-gen 4nm process). Its 8-core CPU delivers a 20% performance boost over the previous generation, with an AnTuTu score approaching 1,600,000. The optimized 6-core ARM G715 GPU sees a 60% increase in floating-point computing power and supports hardware ray tracing, enabling steady full-frame gameplay for all types of 3A mobile games.

Notably, the device supports 4G LTE connectivity—breaking free from Wi-Fi limitations. Whether you’re commuting, traveling for work, or outdoors, you can dive into gaming anytime, leaving “no-network disconnections” behind.

Custom Gaming Accessories for Elevated Experience

To enhance gameplay comfort and device protection, Headwolf has designed exclusive gaming cases and controllers for the Titan 1:

The gaming case is crafted from wear-resistant, drop-proof material. It fits the tablet perfectly while featuring dedicated heat dissipation vents—ensuring protection without compromising cooling performance.

The controller follows ergonomic principles, offering a comfortable grip and responsive buttons. It supports Bluetooth 5.4 for instant pairing, delivering precise control whether you’re executing combos in Genshin Impact or aiming shots in PUBG MOBILE.

Exceptional Compatibility with Global Blockbuster Games

The Titan 1 excels in game compatibility, delivering standout performance across popular titles:

In Genshin Impact, its 2.5K ultra-clear display paired with a 144Hz high refresh rate, combined with AI processor-powered graphics optimization, making it smooth and detailed.

For Asphalt Legends, the powerful GPU ensures seamless visuals even during high-speed races, while the 144Hz screen eliminates motion blur during drifts.

In shooting games like Call of Duty^®: Mobile, the built-in gyroscope enables quick aiming, and the dual-band Wi-Fi 6 + 4G LTE dual-mode connectivity prevents lag during critical team battles.

Additionally, other hit titles such as Delta Force, Diablo Immortal, and League of Legends: Wild Rift all run at high graphics settings with steady full frames.

Standout Features for All-Around Excellence

Beyond gaming performance, the Titan 1 boasts a host of user-centric features:

8.8-inch “Golden Size” Display: Offers a 30% wider field of view than smartphones and is easier to hold with one hand than traditional 10-inch tablets. Its 2.5K resolution maximizes visual immersion.

Ultra-Slim & Lightweight Design: At just 7.9mm thick and 325g (comparable to a slim flagship smartphone), it feels comfortable in one hand, even during extended gaming sessions, with no wrist strain.

Ample Memory & Storage: Equipped with 12GB DDR5 RAM + 256GB ROM (with support for 12GB virtual memory expansion), it handles multi-app switching and fast game loading effortlessly, with plenty of space for all your games.

Long-Lasting Battery & Advanced Cooling: The 7200mAh battery, paired with PD fast charging, meets the demands of extended gameplay. A multi-layer cooling system (led by VC cooling technology) ensures stable performance under heavy loads, with a total cooling area of up to 39,174 mm².

SINGAPORE, Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tamarind Health marks the next phase in its growth as Asia’s leading integrated oncology-focused healthcare platform, following the completion of its acquisition of TalkMED in September 2025. A doctor-led platform built on the principle of putting patients first, Tamarind Health brings together leading medical practices across the region under a single umbrella.

The platform reflects the shared vision of renowned specialists, beginning with the founding doctors of OncoCare Singapore, Dr Miah Hiang Tay and Dr Peter Ang. Their practice has set the benchmark for quality of care and serves as the operating model for Tamarind Health’s regional expansion. The recent addition of TalkMED, led by Dr Peng Tiam Ang, further reinforces the Group’s commitment to raising the standards of cancer care for patients across Asia.

Tamarind Health’s network now spans 36 outpatient and hospital-based centres across Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Mainland China. Besides OncoCare and TalkMED, this includes Solis, Luma, Novena Heart Centre, Tamarind Specialists, and Can-Care. Together, the Group supports more than 180,000 patient visits each year with a combined team of over 500 doctors and staff.

Tamarind Health was formed to address a critical gap in the region’s healthcare. While cancer cases are rising sharply across Asia, patient care remains fragmented. The Tamarind Health platform brings together the region’s renowned specialists and their practices across the full spectrum of oncology care, integrating their clinical expertise on a scale never seen before in Asia. The goal is to create a new and differentiated model for cancer care – one that combines advanced diagnostics, innovative therapies, complementary surgeries and treatment, and access to clinical trials with personalised survivorship and well-being support to ensure patients are cared for both medically and emotionally.

A key differentiator of Tamarind Health is that the platform enables collaboration and knowledge-sharing among doctors, creating more opportunities for sub-specialisation and professional development. By tapping into a broader network of expertise, doctors are better able to form multidisciplinary teams that generate ideas, solve problems, and deliver care in more innovative and integrated ways. Patients are then able to access sub-specialised care in a world where treatments are becoming increasingly personalised.

Dr Miah Hiang Tay, Co-Founder of OncoCare Singapore and Board member of Tamarind Health, said: “From the start, our goal has been to keep making progress in the fight against cancer – step by step, patient by patient. Tamarind Health now gives us the platform to do that together, on a much larger scale. By coming together, we can go beyond what any single practice can achieve – accelerating research, developing innovative treatments, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in cancer care.”

Dr Peter Ang, Co-Founder of OncoCare Singapore and Board member of Tamarind Health, said: “With the field of oncology becoming increasingly specialised, collaboration across disciplines has become essential to delivering high-quality care. At Tamarind Health, the development of sub-specialty groups under one platform creates the right environment for clinical collaboration, sharper decision-making, and continuous learning. This allows us to care for more patients, achieve better outcomes, and stay true to the values that brought each of us into this profession.”

Dr Peng Tiam Ang, Founder of TalkMED and Board member of Tamarind Health, said: “Our patients and their families come to us for understanding of their disease, confidence, and care they can trust. Tamarind Health enables us to extend that promise to more people in more places – with consistent standards, a shared commitment to excellence, and the backing of a regional team of specialists.”

Dr Miah Hiang Tay, Dr Peter Ang, and Dr Peng Tiam Ang continue to hold equity in the Group and serve on the Board, ensuring that patient care and clinical standards stay firmly at the heart of the Group’s decision-making.

About Tamarind Health

Tamarind Health is Asia’s leading integrated oncology-focused group, uniting renowned practices across the region to elevate care and improve patient outcomes. Headquartered in Singapore, the doctor-led platform brings together specialists across the full spectrum of oncology, from diagnostics and treatment to survivorship and well-being.

Our journey began with the acquisition of OncoCare Singapore and Novena Heart Centre, laying the foundation of our oncology and cardiac expertise. This foundation was broadened with Solis, Luma, OncoCare Philippines, and Can-Care, expanding our focus into breast care and post-care services. The network subsequently grew to include OncoCare Malaysia, OncoCare Hong Kong, and Tamarind Specialists, strengthening our regional presence. Most recently, the addition of TalkMED strengthened our presence in Singapore and extended our reach into Vietnam and Mainland China, further enhancing our scale and depth of expertise across Asia.

With the purpose of setting new standards in healthcare for better results, Tamarind Health is shaping the future of oncology and related services across six markets: Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Mainland China.

We Believe in Better.
