KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In an era of persistent global economic turbulence and accelerated industry transformation, the insurance sector is evolving beyond its traditional risk mitigation function toward comprehensive financial planning and long-term value creation. Rising medical inflation, aging populations, and the compounding risks emerging from the post-pandemic landscape have intensified market demand for professional expertise and trust-based advisory relationships. Consequently, life insurance practitioners are redefining their roles—from product-centered agents to strategic partners who guide clients through lifelong financial journeys.

Against this backdrop, the 28th National Chinese Life Insurance Congress, themed “Strengthening Foundations, Moving Forward Steadily,” will convene from April 24 to 26, 2026, at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Congress has drawn more than 2,800 industry professionals, reaffirming its standing as a premier platform for knowledge exchange and professional development, directly addressing the sector’s core imperatives of long-term resilience and ethical stewardship.

Responding to Industry Shifts by Returning to Core Competencies

This year’s theme not only acknowledges prevailing uncertainties but further underscores a foundational conviction: amid a rapidly shifting landscape, only those who build robust professional foundations and embrace a long-term mindset can consistently drive lasting value and impact.

From risk diagnosis and financial planning to sustained client relationship management, the life insurance advisor’s role is being fundamentally reshaped. The industry’s priority is shifting from short-term performance to the cultivation of trust, expertise and enduring client partnerships.

Three Prestigious Awards Honoring 356 Professionals Across Career Milestones

The Congress will recognize 356 outstanding practitioners at various stages of their careers, including 17 Top Manager Award recipients, 320 National Advisers Award (Golden Crown) recipients, and 19 Junior Advisers Award recipients. Consistently achieving such honors amid a volatile environment reflects not only individual capability but also sustained commitment to professional excellence and client service.

Now in its 24th year, the National Advisers Award (Golden Crown) has long championed the continuous development of life insurance financial advisors. By valuing consistent, real-world performance, the award embodies three core principles: serving every client with Genuine Care, confronting long-term practice challenges with Perseverance, and deepening Professional Expertise along the way.

More than a trophy, it serves as a guiding compass—enabling practitioners to develop their own rhythm and methodology through steady, self-driven improvement.

Viewed holistically, these awards form a clear and actionable growth pathway: the Junior Advisers Award (available only during an agent’s first 18 months) builds foundational knowledge and disciplined work habits; the National Advisers Award (Golden Crown) signals stabilized professional competence and service quality; and ultimately, the International Dragon Award (IDA) represents the pinnacle of global recognition.

Within this ecosystem, the National Advisers Award (Golden Crown) plays a pivotal bridging role—not only as a milestone of achievement but also as an integral driver of the Congress’s mission to elevate professional standards.

43 Years of Legacy: A Platform Fostering Expertise and Uniting Professionals 

Since its founding in 1983, the organizer—IMM International—has remained steadfast in its mission to elevate the professionalism, image, and social standing of global Chinese-speaking insurance practitioners. Through international congresses, professional publications, honor systems, and training programs, IMM International continues to unite the worldwide Chinese insurance community.

The National Chinese Life Insurance Congress, as a long-standing exchange platform, fulfills an enduring role. Through annual accumulation and refinement, it distills professional discourse and practical experience into actionable insights—providing practitioners with proven reference points for their own career journeys.

LOS ANGELES, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle brand dedicated to creating style-forward iphone cases for life in motion. Built for Innovation Enthusiasts and Style Pioneers, the brand designs for real human habits—not rigid assumptions. The LinKOO in the new Silver Ease finish with ClipSafe™ embodies this philosophy: purposeful protection meets personal expression, giving you the freedom to move through formal meetings or casual weekends without missing a moment. It’s not just an accessory. It’s designed to fit you more.

How does a push-to-open phone case mechanism work? That philosophy came from watching real people struggle. “We kept watching people dig their fingernails into phone grips, struggling to pop them out, or leaving them permanently extended and getting caught on pockets,” said Ralph, CEO of CASEKOO. “So we flipped the thinking. With ClipSafe™, you don’t pull — you push. A simple push on the bottom of your phone pops it out, ready to hook onto a strap, a belt, or a bag. Then push it back, and it folds flat against your phone, sliding naturally into a pocket or purse. No digging. No snagging. Just one motion that fits the way you actually move through your day.”

That intuitive push-to-open mechanism is why LinKOO has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about accessories in the hands-free space. Since its initial launch, users have built a passionate following around ClipSafe™ technology — not because they were told to, but because it created real freedom: no more fumbling, no more dropped phones, no more interrupted moments.

So how to choose a phone case that matches both formal and casual outfits? The new Silver Ease finish makes that choice effortless. The clear phone case reveals your phone’s original design, while the silver platinum finish on the side catches light like brushed metal. The result is elegant — but never at the expense of function. The subtle metallic gradient shifts from cool silver to a soft twilight hue, so it naturally complements formal attire (suit fabrics, dress shirts, leather bags) and casual wear (denim, nylon, sportswear) without ever feeling out of place. It marks CASEKOO’s first step toward a luxury and elegant brand identity.

This launch follows the breakout success of LinKOO in Vivid Orange, which debuted in late March and quickly became a fan favorite. That vibrant, energy-packed color resonated with users who wanted their accessories to make a statement. Silver Ease answers a different need: quiet confidence. It’s for the user who wants protection and hands-free freedom without drawing attention — just clean, understated elegance that works everywhere.

“We’ve built an incredible community of users who tell us LinKOO has changed how they move through their day — from the office to the gym to parenting,” said Charlotte, brand representative at CASEKOO. “Vivid Orange proved there’s huge appetite for color that pops. Silver Ease is the other side of that coin — sophisticated, seamless, and still 100% functional. Together, they give us a chance to invite a whole new audience into the hands-free life.”

About LinKOO
LinKOO is the world’s first phone case to implement ClipSafe™ technology, now available in Vivid Orange, Silver Ease, and Midnight Blue. First unveiled in March 2026 as a celebration of spring’s vibrant energy, LinKOO introduced a patented clasp at the base of the case that securely holds a chain or wristlet — then folds completely flat against the phone when not in use. The original insight came from watching people juggle phones in crowded commutes, workout floors, and home kitchens. The solution — ClipSafe™ — was engineered to disappear when you don’t need it and act instantly when you do. Today, LinKOO bridges formal and casual scenes, effort and ease, designed to be used all day without a second thought. With interchangeable chain compatibility and a transformative 2-in-1 design, it’s the accessory that sparks curiosity and invites connection.

CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle brand dedicated to creating style-forward phone accessories for life in motion. Built for Innovation Enthusiasts and Style Pioneers, the brand blends purposeful protection with modern design and personal expression — empowering individuals to protect what matters while expressing who they are.

MEDAN, Indonesia, April 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Malaysia has steadily emerged as one of the most trusted destinations for Indonesian patients seeking timely and reliable care. Following its last major outreach in 2022, Malaysia Healthcare returns to Medan this year, reconnecting with a community that has long viewed Malaysian hospitals as a gold standard for second medical opinions and complex treatments. Malaysian hospitals are widely recognised for their internationally accredited facilities, specialised medical expertise and patient-centred care, supported by competitive treatment costs and culturally familiar healthcare services.

This long-standing patient movement has gradually formed a strong Medan–Penang healthcare corridor, connecting residents of North Sumatra with Malaysia’s major hospital hubs. The region serves a population catchment of more than 15 million people, with Medan acting as the primary gateway for patients travelling from surrounding areas such as Aceh, Padang, Pekanbaru, and Binjai to seek treatment abroad. The proximity between the two destinations further strengthens this relationship. Located just 160 kilometres across the Straits of Malacca, Penang can be reached from Medan in about a 40-45 minute flight, with approximately 56 weekly flights connecting Medan to Malaysia’s major hospital hubs. This accessibility has made Malaysian hospitals among the most convenient international healthcare options for residents of western Indonesia. The strong demand from Indonesian patients has also played a major role in shaping Malaysia’s healthcare travel ecosystem. Indonesian healthcare travellers contribute significantly to Malaysia’s medical tourism industry, accounting for approximately 65 per cent of the country’s total medical tourism revenue.

Recognising the importance of this long-standing healthcare connection, the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council continues to strengthen engagement with the Medan market through the national Malaysia Healthcare brand. Guided by the Healing Meets Hospitality positioning and supported by the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026, Malaysia Healthcare aims to deepen regional healthcare collaboration while improving patient access to trusted treatment options across Southeast Asia.

As part of these efforts, Malaysia Healthcare brings together a delegation of leading Malaysian hospitals to Medan through MHX Medan 2026, including Island Hospital Penang, winner of Malaysia’s Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital award, as well as Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), Mahkota Medical Centre and Subang Jaya Medical Centre, which were recipients of multiple accolades under the same award, alongside Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists, GenPrime Everlink Fertility Centre, Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Gleneagles Hospital Penang, Hospital Picaso, Damansara Specialist Hospital 2, Johor Specialist Hospital, MSU Medical Centre, Northern Heart Hospital Penang, Optimax Eye Specialist Centre, Penang Adventist Hospital, Prince Court Medical Centre, Sunway Medical Centre Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, Sunway Medical Centre Penang and Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet specialists directly, explore treatment options and obtain trusted second medical opinions in key areas frequently sought by Indonesian patients, including cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, fertility treatment and comprehensive health screening.

MHX Medan 2026 aims to surpass the benchmark set during MHX Medan 2022, which generated 1,514 patient enquiries, with a new target of achieving at least 1,665 healthcare leads from the Medan market. The event is expected to attract families seeking clarity on complex diagnoses, patients considering overseas treatment just a short flight away, as well as healthcare facilitators and industry partners interested in strengthening Malaysia–Indonesia healthcare collaboration.
