Laos is set to launch its first wind farm, and the largest in Southeast Asia, by the end of the year, with all 133 turbines now fully installed.

The 600-megawatt Monsoon Wind Project, valued at USD 950 million, spans 68,000 hectares across Dak Cheung district in Sekong province and Sanxay district in Attapeu Province. It is the region’s first cross-border wind energy initiative.

Electricity generated will be exported to Vietnam under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Vietnam Electricity (EVN), delivered through a 500-kilovolt transmission line.

The project is being developed by Impact Energy Asia Development Co., Ltd., which first signed a memorandum of understanding with the Lao government in 2011 to evaluate its feasibility. It officially moved forward in 2022 after receiving a concession agreement, and now operates under Monsoon Wind Power Company Limited.

ACEN, the Ayala Group’s renewable energy platform, announced the completion of turbine installation on 19 May. The company holds a 25 percent economic interest in the joint venture, which began construction in March 2023.

The wind farm features turbines with tower heights of 140 and 110 meters, placed based on wind data collected over an eight-year period from 2015 to 2023.

Employees cite ’emotional intelligence’ as key leadership gap, highlighting disconnect at the top

  • While four in five business leaders (83%) believe they demonstrate emotional intelligence well, only half of employees (50%) echo this sentiment with a third citing emotional intelligence (31%) as the topmost skill leaders lack.
  • Most business leaders (86%) are confident in their ability to lead effectively and achieve organisational goals, whereas only half of employees (55%) are confident in their leaders’ capabilities.
  • The majority of business leaders believe that they understand their employees’ needs (89%) and meet employees’ evolving expectations well (84%). However, less than half of employees feel the same way about their leaders.
  • Nonetheless, three in five business leaders (60%) acknowledge gaps in their leadership abilities and have identified areas for improvement, but less than half (44%) have participated in leadership training in the past year, with two in five rarely attending training (39%).

SINGAPORE, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leaders today are expected to thrive in a dynamic and digitally driven workplace, while cultivating human-centric capabilities and competencies. While over four in five business leaders (11% very well, 72% quite well) believe they demonstrate emotional intelligence well, only half of employees believe their leaders possess the skill (2% very well, 48% quite well).

According to employees, emotional intelligence (31%) is in fact the top skill they believe their leaders are lacking, followed by effective communication (30%), and people development (30%).

The majority of business leaders are confident in their ability to lead effectively and achieve organisational goals (13% very confident, 73% quite confident). However, only half of employees are confident in their leaders’ capabilities (3% very confident, 52% quite confident).

This disconnect between the two groups is evident in how most business leaders believe they understand their employees’ needs (17% very well, 72% quite well) and meet their evolving expectations (11% very well, 73% quite well). Yet, less than half of the employees share the same sentiment, where 46% agree leaders understand their needs “very well” or “quite well”, and 45% agree leaders meet their evolving expectations “very well” or “quite well”.

These are some of the key findings from NTUC LearningHub’s Leadership and Coaching Report, which investigates the essential skills and competencies that future leaders must cultivate, while exploring the critical role of coaching in driving individual and organisational growth across all levels and roles.

Based on a survey involving 150 business leaders and 300 full-time working professionals, the report also examines how organisations can develop and sustain strong leadership pipelines by leveraging people-centric approaches and emotional intelligence to build resilient, high-performing teams.

More than nine in ten business leaders (41% very important, 51% quite important), as well as employees (32% very important, 56% quite important) view emotional intelligence as important in leadership.

Business leaders cite the ability to communicate more effectively (55%), make better decisions (55%), be more flexible and adaptable to changes (53%), build strong relationships with employees (51%), and motivate employees more effectively (50%) as the top reasons why they perceive emotional intelligence as important for leaders. While employees voice similar sentiments, they also highlight the ability to better manage and resolve conflicts (65%) and react to challenges or highly pressurising situations calmly (58%) as other key reasons.

The perception divide also shows up in leadership styles where business leaders are most likely to apply democratic leadership (40%), followed by situational leadership (39%), and laissez-faire leadership (31%). Meanwhile, employees ranked situational leadership (44%) as their most preferred leadership style above democratic leadership (43%) and transformational leadership style (41%).

Consequently, business leaders have to contend with keeping their teams engaged and motivated (38%), managing relationships with employees (35%), and balancing performance with employee well-being (29%) in today’s workplace. This is also accompanied by other challenges cited such as developing future leaders (29%) and adapting to change and uncertainty (28%).

Despite the perception divides, three in five business leaders (60%) acknowledge gaps in their leadership abilities and have identified areas for improvement. However, less than half of business leaders (44%) have participated in relevant training to enhance their leadership skills in the past year, with two in five (39%) rarely attending training. Lack of time (48%), high workload (47%), and lack of motivation (31%) are among the top challenges business leaders face when participating in leadership training programmes. 

Yet, there is a desire for frequent training, as about two in five business leaders (38%) express a desire for more frequent training to develop their leadership skills. Three in four business leaders (9% very effective, 67% quite effective) also believe that the leadership training they received was effective in developing their abilities.

Commenting on the report’s findings, Mr Jeremy Ong, Chief Executive Officer, NTUC LearningHub, says, “The apparent disconnect between leaders and employees highlights an urgent need for leadership to evolve in tandem with workforce expectations. As leadership expectations broaden beyond formal roles, organisations are looking to cultivate a culture where more employees feel empowered to take initiative, make decisions, and contribute to team direction. Technical skills alone are no longer enough today, as a more balanced and human-centric approach towards leadership has become a key competency that will enable leaders to adopt the right leadership approach, connect meaningfully with their team, sustain employee engagement, and ultimately drive organisational success. Therefore, it is important for leaders to continuously improve themselves through learning and development as a strategic imperative to bridge existing skills gaps and nurture future emotionally intelligent and visionary leaders”.

Timekettle Charts Path from L3 to L4 in Real-Time Translation

HONG KONG, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Timekettle, a global leader in AI-powered translation technology, exhibits at the 11th Asia-Pacific Translation and Interpreting Forum (APTIF 11), held in Hong Kong under the theme “Culture, Connectivity and Technology: Translating Communities, Transforming Perspectives.” Wilber Wu, Head of Marketing at Timekettle, delivered a speech titled “The Journey of Timekettle: Breaking Language Barriers with Technology”, presenting the company’s vision and innovation roadmap in real-time AI translation at the event’s sub-forum.

Wilber Wu, Head of Marketing at Timekettle, speaks during APTIF11

From Ambition to Innovation

Founded in 2016 in Shenzhen, Timekettle has grown from a startup into a global player in AI translation solutions. With operating centers in both China and the United States, the company pioneered Babel OS — the world’s first simultaneous AI interpretation system — and developed award-winning hardwares like the W4 Pro AI Interpreter Earbuds and the X1 AI Interpreter Hub. Timekettle’s products have served more than 1.5 million users in over 170 countries.

Yet as Wu emphasized, Timekettle’s true identity lies not in hardware, but in its relentless pursuit of technological evolution — to make real-time multilingual communication as natural and seamless as speaking one’s native tongue.

The Challenge in Real-Time Translation

Wu acknowledged that language remains one of the most persistent barriers in global communication. “Real-time translation is deceptively complex,” he noted. “It’s not just about translating words, but delivering speech fast, fluently, and with cultural awareness — all without disrupting natural conversation.”

In use cases such as international business, multi-language classrooms, or humanitarian aid, even a few seconds of delay or a mistranslated sentence can render the experience ineffective. To solve this, Timekettle has been working on improving three critical dimensions: stability, speed, and accuracy.

The L1–L5 Model: A Roadmap Toward Seamless Communication

In his speech, Wu introduced a technological evolution framework of real-time translation, inspired by autonomous driving standards. The model outlines Timekettle’s vision for the technological progress, not just for the company but for the industry as a whole.

L1 – Basic Assistance: Word/phrase translation via rule-based or statistical machine translation. Requires manual input and lacks context.

L2 – Context-Aware Translation (human-mimicking): Full-sentence translation with neural machine translation (NMT). Still largely manual and non-conversational.

L3 – Real-Time Bi-Directional Translation (near-human): Achieved by Timekettle’s W4 Pro, offering bidirectional real-time communication with sub-6-second latency, powered by ASR + NMT + TTS.

L4 – High-Accuracy Simultaneous Translation (human-equivalent): This next stage will expect delay under 3 seconds, with 98%+ accuracy, and emotional/cultural nuance using multimodal AI and adaptive LLMs.

L5 – Fully Autonomous Translation (beyond human): A near-sentient level of AI that matches or surpasses human interpreters — understanding subtext, emotion, dialects, and delivering zero-latency results.

Wu likened this evolution to Timekettle’s pursuit of a “Babel Fish” — the mythical translator from science fiction — and noted that the company’s Babel OS marks the industry’s first leap from L3 toward L4, from functional to human-like translation.

Looking Ahead: Multimodal AI and AGI

Looking to the future, Wu identified multimodal AI and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as pivotal to reaching L5. “To truly erase language boundaries, machines must do more than decode words. They must understand gestures, emotions, and cultural subtext — to become communication assistants, not just tools.”

He outlined Timekettle’s current research directions: improving voice recognition in noisy environments, making breakthroughs in text data of certain languages, and enabling machines to better understand cultural nuances and implied meanings in conversations.

“Imagine a world,” he said, “where translation is so seamless that it becomes invisible; where communication across languages feels as natural as speaking your own. That’s the future we’re building toward.”

Bridging Academia and Industry

Wu concluded by thanking APTIF for fostering dialogue between the academia and the industry. “Translating technology is not just about algorithms or devices — it’s about enabling human connection. As we move from L3 to L4 and beyond, we hope to see researchers and technology professionals join this venture together to make real-time, universal communication a reality.”

Timekettle’s presence at APTIF 11 marks a significant step in aligning cutting-edge AI with the long-standing mission of the translation community – building bridges across cultures through better communication.

About Timekettle

Since its inception in 2016, Timekettle has been at the forefront of cross-language communication innovation. With award-winning products and a global user base of over one million, Timekettle continues to set new standards in AI translation technology, striving to achieve universal communication freedom.

The Moonhouse: The First Ever House on the Moon – A Swedish Red Cottage Set to Land June 5

STOCKHOLM, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — History is about to be made. On June 5 at 09:24 PM CET, a tiny red house — a traditional Swedish cottage — is set to become the first house ever to land on the Moon.

After traveling through space for more than four months aboard the Japanese lunar lander RESILIENCE, the artwork known as The Moonhouse now enters its most critical phase: a soft landing in Mare Frigoris — the Sea of Cold.

This unique fusion of art and technology began with a bold idea. In 1999, Swedish artist Mikael Genberg imagined placing a simple red house on the Moon.

“Not as a scientific outpost or political symbol,” says Genberg, “but as a quiet reminder of humanity, imagination, and home. A beacon of hope — and an eye turned toward Earth, the pale blue dot.”

Since then, the idea has passed through the hands of engineers, dreamers, and supporters who, together with Genberg, have carried it forward across decades, continents, and now deep space.

Landing on the Moon remains one of the most difficult feats in spaceflight. ispace’s first attempt in 2023 did not touchdown successfully, and this second mission demands flawless precision. But even with a successful landing, the mission’s most delicate moment is still to come.

Mounted on the front of the lunar rover TENACIOUS is the house itself. Once the lander touches down, the rover will be deployed to scout the Moon’s surface for the perfect site.

“The hardest part starts now. The Moonhouse must find its place on the Moon — and then make its final leap, just 8 centimeters, powered only by gravity. We’ll be holding our breath until we see the images,” says The Moonhouse technical lead Emil Vinterhav.

“It’s a delicate maneuver, done by remote control from 400,000 km away,” says Antoine Bocquier, Rover Pilot and Senior Space System Engineer at ispace. “I will operate the rover to identify a location that is both stable and symbolically meaningful.”

Only then — when the house stands alone on the Moon — will The Moonhouse be fully realized.

“This is more than a work of art. It is a 26-year journey of persistence, collaboration, and belief — a red cottage that dares to dream on the Moon, forever.”
