Aggregated multi-year assessments in Singapore and Malaysia highlight skills gaps as AI adoption acceleratesSINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 February 2026 – As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across organisations, new data from workforce intelligence company Epitome Global signals that skills gaps may constrain the next phase of AI-driven productivity. Based on aggregated skills assessments conducted across Singapore and Malaysia between 2023 and 2025, only around one in five professionals consistently demonstrate characteristics associated with AI-ready skills, including persistence, curiosity and reflective learning. The findings are drawn from assessment data involving more than 200 participants across workforce development, employability and organisational programmes. While more than 70% of participants report advanced digital literacy, deeper skills gaps remain: approximately 56% rate themselves at a basic level in decision-making, and around 42% report only basic confidence in computational thinking, skills increasingly required to supervise AI tools, interpret outputs and integrate technology into workflows. The data signals that as AI tools become more accessible, workforce readiness, rather than technology availability, may emerge as the primary constraint on performance in 2026. “AI tools are scaling faster than workforce readiness,” said Kevin Chan, CEO of Epitome Global. “In the next phase of adoption, the differentiator will not be ......read more

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 February 2026 - The 21st century is no longer measuring cities by height or GDP growth, but by their capacity to anticipate, absorb, and regenerate. "Resilience" has shifted from a policy buzzword into a survival metric. Governance is no longer a background function, it is the nervous system of urban life. Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio exemplifies this strategic shift. At its core, the project places the governance (G) factor at the center of the ESG++ model, aiming to build a city capable of regeneration and proactive long-term adaptation. The project is positioning itself not as a late entrant but as a re-architect of coastal urban logic.
