ICAC concludes first-ever regional anti-corruption training for ASEAN youth and bolsters new graft fighting forces in Asia-Pacific

HONG KONG, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Hong Kong International Academy Against Corruption of the ICAC (HKIAAC), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Office of the National Anti-corruption Commission of Thailand (NACC) and the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA) had jointly completed the first-ever regional capacity building programme on meaningful youth engagement in anti-corruption work in Thailand. The programme was set to effectively deepen integrity training for young people in seven states members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and foster anti-graft collaboration on various fronts in the Asia-Pacific region.


ICAC concludes first-ever regional anti-corruption training for ASEAN youth and bolsters new graft fighting forces in Asia-Pacific

A five-member ICAC delegation, led by Director of Community Relations Diman Mak Wai-keung, arrived at the headquarters of the NACC last week to host the three-day training programme, which gathered over 200 representatives from anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies of the seven ASEAN countries. Mak shared with participants ICAC’s innovative anti-corruption training model for youngsters which had been showcased in the international arena, as well as challenges and experience gained by the Hong Kong anti-graft watchdog in the past 50 years.   

Mak said the training programme would facilitate ASEAN countries to jointly nurture a new generation of integrity. “Young people are the future of our societies. During the programme, participating organisations and young leaders engaged in deep dialogues in enhancing youth engagement in the fight against corruption. The discussions shared and ideas generated would not end as the programme came to a close. Instead, the insights will become the seeds for real and actionable change. They will flourish in their own countries into a new generation to lead the graft fight,” Mak noted.

Attending the training programme were representatives of agencies from seven ASEAN countries, namely the NACC, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Brunei Darussalam, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau of Singapore, the Anti-Corruption Unit of Cambodia, the Corruption Eradication Commission of Indonesia, the Anti-Corruption Commission of Myanmar and the Office of the Ombudsman of the Philippines. Youngsters from Thailand and Brunei also took part in the training.

During the three-day programme, ICAC officers explained the Commission’s latest strategy to leverage social media to promote youth integrity, and shared their experience in organising youth programmes and developing moral education resources. Participants were invited to produce integrity promotion materials catered for young people for use on social media platforms, and map out youth activities. In addition, ICAC representatives also briefed participants on the professional training provided to new young recruits.

Representatives from the UNODC also took the opportunity to promote the “Policy Guide for National Anti-Corruption Authorities on Meaningful Youth Engagement in Anti-Corruption Work” to participants. The policy guide, co-developed by the ICAC, the UNODC and IAACA, serves as a practical reference for promoting youth engagement in the fight against corruption.

Two tertiary students currently enrolled in the ICAC’s “ELITE Youth Leadership Programme” were invited to join the ICAC delegation on this trip. In addition to learning first-hand how the ICAC shared its anti-graft experience, telling the good stories of Hong Kong on the world stage, they also gained insights into global graft fighting issues. They explored with participants the important influence of young people in probity work, and also took the opportunity to promote Chinese culture.

The ICAC has integrated the topic of youth capabilities in combating corruption into HKIAAC’s International Anti-corruption Programme (Investigation, Corruption Prevention and Education Modules). Anti-corruption agencies of different jurisdictions will be invited to join the programme. For further information, please visit HKIAAC’s website: https://hkiaac.icac.org.hk/programme/68.

Oriental Remedies Clinic Opens Fifth TCM Clinic in Punggol Coast Mall


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 July 2025 – Oriental Remedies Clinic, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinic chain in Singapore, has announced the opening of its new clinic in Punggol. Located at Punggol Coast Mall, the chain’s fifth branch aims to cultivate a sanctuary for holistic family wellness, prioritising a nurturing and stress-free environment that offers a child-friendly experience for all ages.

Warm, personalised TCM care for the whole family at Oriental Remedies Clinic, delivered in a thoughtfully designed space.
Warm, personalised TCM care for the whole family at Oriental Remedies Clinic, delivered in a thoughtfully designed space.

New Clinic Opening for Families in Punggol Coast Mall
The new TCM clinic is designed as a welcoming space where families can experience the TCM principle of Yang Sheng, the art of life cultivation. More than just a treatment centre, it encourages individuals and children to build lifelong habits that promote balance, vitality, and preventive care.

Developed in collaboration with House on the Hill, a renowned Montessori preschool in Singapore, the clinic features a sensory-focused waiting area thoughtfully designed to engage children through their five senses, transforming passive waiting into active discovery. Children are invited to explore traditional Chinese herbs, textures, scents, and natural materials in a calm, tactile environment. This immersive setup encourages curiosity, independent participation, and self-directed play, reflecting our core belief in nurturing lifelong wellness from an early age.

Every aspect of the clinic promotes emotional comfort and a restorative atmosphere. A natural colour palette of muted greys and warm earth tones, complemented by carefully curated toys suited to different developmental stages, helps children feel grounded and focused. This intentional design supports emotional regulation and encourages internal awareness, an essential foundation for the mind-body connection central to TCM healing practices.

Enhancing Comfort with Child-Friendly Design
The clinic features an open-concept layout, where the paediatric pods for consultations and treatments are designed as a natural extension of the children’s play area, offering a seamless transition from exploration to treatment. This thoughtful continuity reduces anxiety by preserving a sense of familiarity and playfulness, helping consultations feel more conversational and less clinical.

These pods are intentionally designed to encourage gentle interaction, open communication and engagement, helping children stay emotionally regulated and present. This approach keeps children engaged and interested in their bodies and feelings, fostering a sense of ownership in their wellness journey.

The open-concept design facilitates parental supervision, allowing the clinic to foster guided independence in children. Through this approach, the clinic helps empower children to understand and make choices that support their well-being. This transparency is key to the collaborative, family-centred approach at Oriental Remedies Clinic.

Expanding Core Services to Support Paediatric Care
In addition to Oriental Remedies Clinic’s comprehensive suite of treatments, including acupuncture, herbal medication, paediatric tuina, and tech-enhanced therapies such as Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT), the new branch will introduce more child-focused therapies, such as paediatric moxibustion, herbal vaporiser therapy, and Cell Pro Therapy for children. These specialised additions reflect the clinic’s dedication to delivering tailored, gentle, and effective care while actively encouraging children’s participation in their health education from an early age.

The Punggol outlet will also serve as an educational platform through intimate community workshops. Covering practical topics such as “Understanding Big Emotions through TCM,” “Supporting Your Child’s Immune System Naturally,” and “Healthy Foods for Your Body Constitution,” these workshops aim to reinforce the critical link between emotional resilience, physical health, and lifelong wellness.

Integrating Tradition with Technology in Punggol’s Digital District
Located at Punggol Coast Mall within the Punggol Digital District (PDD), the clinic’s opening aligns with Singapore’s push for innovation in healthcare. Oriental Remedies Clinic is actively exploring ways TCM can evolve through advancements in artificial intelligence, data analytics, and smart diagnostics.

Current initiatives include research into AI-assisted tongue and pulse diagnosis, and personalised treatment plans informed by data analytics. These advanced technologies aim to enhance the precision of care without compromising the personalised, hands-on essence of traditional TCM practice.

In the long term, the clinic hopes to collaborate with research institutions and tech firms within PDD to further integrate cutting-edge innovations into TCM. This forward-looking approach supports Oriental Remedies Clinic’s vision of becoming a modern, future-ready wellness provider—empowering practitioners with technology to deliver more precise, effective, and accessible care.

Supporting Healthier SG Through Early Education
The expansion into Punggol reflects Oriental Remedies Clinic’s dedication to Singapore’s Healthier SG initiative, which prioritises preventive care. Understanding that establishing strong health foundations begins in childhood, the new clinic aims to help introduce TCM principles and healthy lifestyle practices in an engaging manner.

By creating child-friendly spaces that foster curiosity and proactive exploration of natural remedies, the clinic chain helps children and families build strong foundations for lifelong health. This approach cultivates balanced living from an early age, ultimately reducing the incidence of chronic illnesses later in life.

Through empowering children to embrace healthy habits from a young age, the chain looks to actively contribute to a more resilient and healthier Singapore.

Serving the Punggol Community Through Holistic Care
According to Beatrice Liu, CEO and co-founder of Oriental Remedies Clinic, the decision to open a new branch in Punggol was driven by the area’s growing population and its high concentration of young families.“Punggol represents a vibrant, forward-looking community, and we see an immense opportunity to partner with these families on their wellness journeys,” says Ms. Liu.“Our focus on life cultivation means we are not just addressing immediate health concerns, but guiding individuals and families holistically through every stage of life, with care that evolves alongside them.”

The new clinic at Punggol Coast Mall is now open. First-time patients can enjoy a special launch offer for a limited time. For more information or to register, please use our form here.
