During the event, Humansa CEO Don So delved into the brand’s anti-aging philosophy and strategic roadmap. He emphasized the importance of addressing aging at its root causes with scientific precision, highlighting how these new products integrate seamlessly into Humansa’s commitment to longevity and wellness. The event also hosted an expert discussion with renowned medical specialists, health consultants, and a celebrated Hong Kong artist. The panel explored the concept of decoding the 14 hallmarks of aging to address cellular aging signals, offering fresh scientific perspectives for both the industry and consumers.

Dual-Box Innovation: Targeted Cellular Aging Solutions with Customized Anti-Aging Benefits

Humansa’s newly launched Dual Anti-Aging Nutrition Packs are designed to align with the theme of “Targeted Anti-Aging,” offering precision-tailored solutions to meet the core needs of different individuals. This marks a shift from broad-spectrum interventions to targeted approaches that directly address cellular aging.

  • Daily Glow Packs: Focused on skin rejuvenation needs, each pack combines 16 nutrients with four core ingredients: L-Ergothioneine, PQQ, Astaxanthin, and L-Carnosine.
    • L-Ergothioneine (EGT): The “master antioxidant” within cells. Studies show that a daily dose of 25mg significantly improves skin health in just 4 weeks: 54.8% reduction in pore size, 21.6% fewer wrinkles, and 18.4% improvement in UV spots.
    • PQQ: Enhances cellular energy production, with 21.5mg daily intake over 12 weeks, showing notable improvements in cognitive function and cerebral blood flow.
    • Astaxanthin: Strengthens the skin barrier against photoaging.
    • L-Carnosine: Inhibits collagen glycation, reducing fine lines and dullness.
  • Daily Vitality Packs: Designed for high-stress professionals and men’s health needs, this pack features 15 selected ingredients with a core combination of L-Ergothioneine, PQQ, Milk Thistle, and Maca.
    • Milk Thistle targets liver cell repair, alleviating the metabolic burden caused by late nights and social drinking.
    • Maca enhances energy reserves, addressing fatigue caused by sedentary lifestyles and high stress.
    • Combined with L-Ergothioneine and PQQ, this anti-aging and energy-boosting formula delivers multi-dimensional care, achieving “liver protection, fatigue reduction, and cellular revitalization.”

Both products are packaged in convenient daily sachets, with precise doses of three capsules per pack, requiring no additional preparation. This portable design makes it easy for busy urbanites to incorporate “cellular-level targeted anti-aging” into their daily routines.

Scientific Backing: Third-Party Validation Confirms Effective Anti-Aging Results

Grounded in the 14 hallmarks of aging, Humansa’s research ensures that each ingredient targets critical aging mechanisms, transforming anti-aging solutions from theoretical concepts into practical, science-backed interventions. This approach offers consumers a safe, effective, and convenient way to address aging at its root.

Humansa CEO Don So: New Products as an “Innovative Addition” to Comprehensive Anti-Aging Strategy

At the launch event, Humansa CEO Don So outlined the brand’s core philosophy of building a science-based, full-cycle anti-aging system and explained the strategic significance of the new products. He emphasized:
“At Humansa, we believe anti-aging is not just about ‘wrinkle reduction’ or ‘nutritional supplements.’ It’s a systematic approach built on five pillars: exercise, supplements and medication, sleep, emotional well-being, and nutrition. By scientifically identifying individual aging targets, such as low mitochondrial activity or weak liver metabolism, we implement multi-dimensional interventions. The new Dual Anti-Aging Nutrition Packs integrate seamlessly into this system, transforming anti-aging from ‘blind attempts’ to ‘scientifically controlled, targeted actions.’ This is the core mission we have always upheld.”

Don So further highlighted the products’ strategic importance:
“The Dual Anti-Aging Nutrition Packs represent an innovative upgrade to Humansa’s ‘nutritional support’ pillar. They fill a market gap for convenient, targeted cellular nutrition interventions while making the synergy of our five pillars more actionable. Users can leverage Humansa’s precision diagnostics to identify their weaknesses and match them with the appropriate packs. This targeted matching model brings science-driven anti-aging into daily life, enhancing the practicality of our comprehensive anti-aging strategy and solidifying our position as a global leader in holistic health solutions.”

Experts and Celebrities Discuss: Decoding the 14 Hallmarks of Aging

During the event’s roundtable discussion, Dr. Candy Chan, General Practitioner at Humansa; Charmaine So, Humansa’s Wellness Coach, Grace Chan, renowned Hong Kong celebrity and Olympian, Arelyx founder and CEO, Yvette Kong, explored the topic: “Decoding the 14 Hallmarks of Aging: How Should We Address Cellular Aging Signals?” and “How Women Can Find a Healthy Balance in a Fast-Paced Life.”

Dr. Candy Chan emphasized the importance of targeting key aging mechanisms such as mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress; Grace Chan shared her personal experience, noting how Humansa’s products improved her skin and energy levels, while the convenient “one pack a day” design made it easy to maintain consistency.

Charmaine So and the research center representative elaborated on how precision diagnostics combined with targeted nutrition can effectively address aging hallmarks, creating a closed-loop anti-aging system. The discussion reinforced the scientific foundation of Humansa’s products while providing actionable solutions for consumers, further validating their core value.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 September 2025 – Marco Polo Marine Ltd. (SGX:5LY) (“Marco Polo Marine” or the “Company“, together with its subsidiaries, “the Group“), a reputable regional integrated marine logistics company, today announced the selection of Salt Ship Design AS (“Salt”), a renowned Norwegian ship designer, to design the Group’s, next-generation Commissioning Service Operation Vessel – the CSOV Plus. The contract was signed between the Group’s Taiwan-based subsidiary PKR Offshore Co., Ltd, Salt Ship Design and Marco Polo Shipyard Pte Ltd.

Marco Polo Marine’s new CSOV Plus marks a significant advancement in offshore support vessel capability. Unlike standard CSOVs and Construction Support Vessels with retrofitted walk-to-work systems, this vessel is the first purpose-built Commissioning Service Operation Vessel designed from the keel up for dual-sector operations in the offshore wind and oil & gas sectors. The CSOV Plus supports the complete lifecycle of offshore wind projects, from construction and cable installation to repairs, maintenance, and technician transfer for commissioning and ongoing operations. Its comprehensive capabilities enhance its versatility, enabling the CSOV Plus to be deployed not only in the offshore wind sector but also in the oil & gas sector.

“We are thrilled to partner with the innovative team at Salt Ship Design to bring our biggest advancements in CSOV – CSOV Plus – to life,” said Mr. Sean Lee, CEO of Marco Polo Marine. “This vessel represents our direct response to market demands for more versatile and efficient offshore assets. By integrating advanced wind farm support with other proven oil & gas related capabilities, we’re delivering unprecedented versatility that serves clients across multiple sectors whilst maximising operational uptime and providing significant competitive advantages. We’re confident this innovative design will exceed our customers’ expectations and set new industry standards for crew comfort and safety. Constructing this sophisticated vessel at our Batam facility further demonstrates the Group’s advanced shipbuilding expertise and commitment to engineering excellence.”

“We are honoured that Marco Polo Marine has entrusted Salt Ship Design with the development for their CSOV Plus concept. Salt has had the privilege of working closely with Marco Polo Marine for a long period during the concept development of their next-generation CSOV, and we are very pleased to be continuing this collaboration into the next phase,” said Egil Sandvik, Chairman of Salt.

Enhanced Safety and Operational Reliability

The CSOV Plus prioritises crew and technician welfare through advanced safety systems and operational capabilities. Its state-of-the-art walk-to-work system, combined with superior station-keeping and manoeuvrability, enables safe personnel transfer in significant wave heights up to 3.0 metres. This enhanced weather tolerance maximises operational days and improves project efficiency.

Sustainable Design for Future Operations

Built with sustainability at its core, the vessel features a battery hybrid power system that reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The design accommodates alternative fuels, including methanol, ensuring compliance with evolving environmental regulations whilst providing clients with environmentally responsible offshore solutions.

Versatile Capabilities and Technical Specifications

The CSOV Plus delivers exceptional operational flexibility through key features, including a powerful 100-tonne Active Heave Compensated (AHC) crane for handling heavy subsea equipment and wind farm components, expansive clear deck space for cargo storage and project customisation, as well as a flexible cargo lifting system supporting loads from 3 to 10 tonnes with full 3D compensation.

Construction of the vessel will commence at Marco Polo Marine’s shipyard in Batam in second quarter 2026 , with delivery scheduled for second quarter 2028.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MetaComp Pte Ltd (MetaComp), a leading licensed cross-border FX and digital assets infrastructure provider headquartered in Singapore and licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and OSL Group (HKEX:863), the leading global compliant digital financial infrastructure platform, have announced a comprehensive strategic partnership to collaborate to advance digital solutions for cross-border payments, improve real-world asset (RWA) token market infrastructure, and foster regulatory-compliant innovation between Hong Kong and Singapore.

At the heart of this collaboration is a shared commitment to building a robust and interconnected ecosystem for digital assets and tokenized finance. The partnership aims to address critical market needs by enhancing liquidity, enabling cross-border payments, facilitating compliant RWA token trading, and strengthening digital asset management and compliance frameworks.

To support the growing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) digital asset trading, MetaComp and OSL will examine ways to connect and integrate liquidity networks to improve trade execution for institutional clients dealing in digital assets, including payment instruments. This effort will enhance OTC market efficiency across the two financial centers, offering better pricing, reduced slippage, and seamless access to liquidity.

The two firms will also co-develop infrastructure links built on MetaComp’s and OSL’s infrastructures to facilitate the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments. This initiative will enable payment service providers and financial institutions to move value between Hong Kong and Singapore with greater speed, cost-efficiency, and transparency, while fully adhering to the regulatory frameworks of both jurisdictions.

Recognizing the growing role of tokenization in capital markets, OSL and MetaComp, together with MetaComp’s parent company Alpha Ladder Finance Pte Ltd (ALFIN), a Capital Markets Service License holder regulated by MAS, will examine solutions to better enable the cross-listing and trading of tokenized real-world assets, which can be purchased using fiat or stablecoins, in compliance with stringent regulatory standards. The initiative aims to establish more liquid and transparent regulated markets for RWA tokens in Asia, unlocking access to previously illiquid assets for institutional and accredited investors.

Further strengthening the partnership’s foundation is a shared focus on compliance and risk management. MetaComp and OSL will collaborate on enhancing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) measures by leveraging industry-leading KYC databases, on-chain wallet analytics, and cross-chain transaction tracing tools. These efforts are intended to uphold the highest standards of integrity while protecting clients and the broader ecosystem from illicit activity.

“This partnership with OSL represents a significant milestone in our commitment to building the next generation of digital financial infrastructure,” said Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp. “By combining our strengths, we are not only advancing regional connectivity but also setting new benchmarks for compliance and innovation in digital asset markets.”

Eugene Cheung, Chief Commercial Officer of OSL Group, said:  “Hong Kong and Singapore are natural partners in shaping Asia’s digital finance future. Through this collaboration with MetaComp, we’re laying the groundwork for interoperable, real-world solutions that serve institutional needs and meet the highest regulatory expectations.”

Fujitsu develops generative AI reconstruction technology for optimized and energy-efficient AI models based on Takane LLM

TOKYO, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fujitsu announced the development of a new reconstruction technology for generative AI. The new technology, positioned as a core component of the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, will strengthen the Fujitsu Takane LLM by enabling the creation of lightweight, power-efficient AI models.

The advancement is underpinned by two key innovations: quantization and specialized AI distillation. Fujitsu’s proprietary 1-bit quantization technology applied to Takane achieves a remarkable 94% reduction in memory consumption, while maintaining an unprecedented 89% accuracy retention rate compared to unquantized models. This leads to a three-fold increase in inference speed, significantly outperforming conventional quantization methods. Consequently, large generative AI models previously requiring multiple high-end GPUs can now efficiently operate on a single low-end GPU.

Fujitsu’s world-first specialized AI distillation not only significantly reduces model size, but also enhances accuracy beyond that of the original model. This brain-inspired approach extracts and condenses task-specific knowledge, creating highly efficient and reliable specialized AIs.

This revolutionary lightweighting capability promises to democratize cutting-edge AI, enabling the deployment of sophisticated agentic AI on edge devices such as smartphones and factory machinery. This will lead to improved real-time responsiveness, enhanced data security, and a radical reduction in power consumption for AI operations, significantly contributing to a sustainable AI society.

Fujitsu plans to roll out trial environments for Takane with this applied technology starting in the second half of fiscal year 2025 and will progressively release models of Cohere’s research open-weight Command A quantized via Hugging Face. Fujitsu remains committed to advancing generative AI capabilities to solve complex societal challenges and unlock new possibilities for AI utilization.

Lao authorities seized four kilograms of heroin during a joint inspection at Wattay International Airport, leading to the arrest of a 78-year-old Australian national.

The narcotics were found concealed inside the hammock and were reportedly intended to be smuggled to Taiwan, according to officials

The operation involved officers from the Investigation and Anti-Smuggling Division, customs officials, immigration police, and international terminal protocol staff.

This latest seizure adds to a string of major drug trafficking attempts intercepted at Wattay International Airport this year. 

In May alone, authorities confiscated more than 134 kilograms of narcotics and arrested multiple international suspects. 

Lao authorities on 29 May arrested a 70-year-old Dutch national at Wattay International Airport after finding 5.8 kilograms of heroin hidden in aluminum-lined blankets inside two travel bags.

On 27 May, Lao authorities arrested three Malaysian nationals as they attempted to smuggle 103 packages of marijuana, weighing 86 kilograms, to Germany. The suspects concealed the drugs in six suitcases. 

On 22 May, authorities detained a Bulgarian citizen after uncovering 14 kilograms of heroin packed inside animal feed and coffee bags prepared for shipment abroad. 

A day earlier, on 21 May, officers seized 31 packets of heroin, totaling 28.5 kilograms, from the luggage of a passenger from an undisclosed African nation, who had hidden the drugs in animal feed and coffee bags.

The Lao Ministry of Public Security has handled all five cases through legal proceedings.
