Malaysia’s leading multi-brand convenience retail group has moved decisively beyond platform adoption, building AI-powered workflows directly into the operational fabric of its business, with Lark as the coordinating infrastructure that makes them run.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — myNEWS Holdings Berhad today announces the formal adoption of Lark as its organisation-wide productivity and collaboration platform, extending connectivity across headquarters, store operations, franchise partners, and joint venture partners spanning five retail brands: myNEWS, CU, SUPERVALUE, WHSmith, and Maru Coffee.
myNEWS Holdings Deploys Lark as Its Operational Backbone
The rollout reflects a considered approach to organisational change. Rather than a single top-down directive, adoption was seeded deliberately, with early adopters and team leads building meaningful Lark Base applications woven into their own workflows before the platform was extended more broadly. Leadership and staff moved in the same direction, at a pace calibrated to let competence develop alongside confidence.
Lark’s role extended well beyond enabling communication. As the operational coordination layer, it is where automated workflows are initiated and tracked, where the right data reaches the right people, and where tasks, whether triggered by a human or an automated process, are assigned, tracked and completed.
Intelligent pipelines feed directly into Lark Base, turning what were once isolated manual processes into a connected, continuously updated workflow. A field cash reconciliation that previously meant manual form-filling now completes the moment two photographs are taken — computer vision reads both documents, extracts the relevant figures, and flags any variance automatically. Supplier invoices arriving by email are parsed by AI, validated against purchase records, and posted into the finance system. The work gets done faster, with fewer errors, and as the business grows, it is AI that scales alongside it.
Since adopting Lark three months ago, myNEWS has moved from AI-aware to increasingly AI-powered. Approximately 20% of headquarters staff now work daily with AnyGen, Lark’s built-in AI teammate, handling drafting, research, and content generation that previously consumed hours. Adoption has been self-propelling; as productivity gains became visible across teams, demand for access followed. “Lark is not just a communication platform — it is the foundation that lets us deploy AI coherently across the organisation. AnyGen gives every person access to capabilities that used to require specialist roles. We are able to scale smarter,” said Dang Tai Wen, Group CEO, myNEWS Holdings Berhad.
WHAT’S NEXT
The next phase of deployment turns attention to the frontline. Lark is being rolled out at outlet level across all five retail brands, giving store managers a consolidated platform for daily task management, shift handovers, compliance reporting, and direct communications with headquarters.
For franchise partners, Lark becomes the primary gateway to the operational knowledge and institutional support required to run a store well. Standard operating procedures, training materials, brand standards, and day-to-day guidance are migrating into a structured, searchable Wiki.
Dang Tai Wen, Group CEO, myNEWS Holdings Berhad adds:
“Lark is not where our technology story ends. It is the platform we are building the next chapter on, for our teams, our franchise partners, and the stores they run every day.”

SHANGHAI, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On May 20, 2026, Viva Biotech hosted a V-Experts in Conversation webinar, “Managing Complexity in Modern Drug Discovery: A Practical Approach to Integrated Screening & Chemistry.” Moderated by Victoria Ouroutzoglou, the roundtable featured Dr. Bing Xia, Vice President & Head of Early Discovery Platforms, and Dr. Tim Dwight, Senior Director of Medicinal Chemistry & Business Development.
The discussion focused on how teams can make informed decisions when target biology, assay readiness, chemical tractability, and development requirements evolve in parallel. The speakers discussed how an integrated screening and medicinal chemistry workflow can support decision-making from hit identification through lead optimization.
Dr. Xia emphasized that hit identification is highly target-dependent. Strategy selection should begin with target context, including biological validation, tractability, assay readiness, structural information, protein availability, resource constraints, and the IP and competitive landscape. Depending on the target, fragment-based drug discovery, virtual screening, HTS, DEL, ASMS, or SPR may each provide suitable entry points.
The webinar also highlighted V-DEL-facilitated target triage as one of Viva Biotech’s practical approaches for early target and modality assessment. By integrating DEL screening outcomes, protein science expertise, protein QC and conformational-state assessment, and an AI-powered V-DEL Friendly Index, this approach can help assess ligandability, rank targets or constructs, prioritize resources, and inform suitable modality directions.
The speakers noted that primary screening readouts are only the starting point. To advance a hit with confidence, teams need layered validation, including purity and liability checks, dose-response confirmation, orthogonal assays, selectivity and counter-screening, cytotoxicity assessment, and biophysical binding studies. Viva Biotech’s internal “promiscuous frequent hits” dataset also supports informed triage and helps reduce the risk of advancing misleading hits.
From the medicinal chemistry perspective, Dr. Dwight emphasized that design–make–test–analyze cycles require clear hypotheses and close coordination across medicinal chemistry, AIDD/CADD, biology, DMPK, and project teams. Structure-based design, SAR analysis, FEP, MD simulations, ADMET prediction, and AI/ML-supported modeling can all contribute to focused compound prioritization.
The discussion reinforced that integration is less about placing capabilities under one roof, and more about connecting the right data, expertise, and decision points, including go/no-go criteria. Through integrated protein science, structural biology, screening, medicinal chemistry, AIDD/CADD, biology, and DMPK, Viva Biotech supports a continuous discovery workflow from target understanding to validated hits and lead optimization with greater rigor, efficiency, and scientific discipline.

The collaboration brings two complementary strengths together. CP AXTRA is one of ASEAN’s leading wholesale and retail operators, with more than 2,700 Makro and Lotus’s stores. The company is a regional leader in multi-format, omnichannel retail platforms across Southeast Asia and is advancing toward retail-tech company. ALMI, is one of the Philippines’ leading mall operators, managing 34 shopping centers recognized for their strong retail planning, curated tenant mix, and enhanced customer experience across Southeast Asia. With extensive expertise in leasing, mall operations, facility management, and mixed-use development, ALMI is well positioned to support CP AXTRA in maximizing the value and potential of its Makro mall assets in Thailand. Ayala Corporation also brings a broader consumer and enterprise ecosystem that can complement CP AXTRA’s regional retail expansion, while ACx, its consumer retail unit, adds perspective on evolving customer behavior, format innovation, and retail partnerships.
The MoC builds on the two groups’ existing strategic partnership, which began in 2025 with the formation of CP AXTRA AC CORPORATION to operate Makro stores in the Philippines and was expanded to include a wider range of collaborative opportunities. This new agreement deepens that partnership further, marking the first time Ayala will bring its mall development and leasing expertise directly to CP AXTRA’s operations in Thailand.
