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. When Governance Defines Quality of Life For decades, Asian urban development prioritized growth speed and capital attraction. However, climate-related pressures, urban flooding, rising operational costs have exposed the limits of those indicators. International research, including "Happiness in urban environments," now links quality of life not only to amenities but also to safety and environmental resilience. Even technical standards such as ISO 37120 increasingly emphasize public service delivery and transparency over purely economic metrics. This ......read more

AACHEN, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 11 February 2026 - FEV has published new analysis results on the economic efficiency of electrified commercial vehicles as part of an internal research program. The evaluation of extensive techno-economic data shows: depending on the driving cycle, through trucks with range extender architecture (REEV/Hybrid BEV) the total cost of ownership (TCO) can be reduced by up to 33 percent compared to conventional diesel trucks – while also significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Even in the most unfavorable long-haul scenario, the TCO declined by approximately 14 percent. Depending on the driving cycle through range extender trucks TCO can be reduced by up to 33 percent.

MSC calls on retailers to increase their offer of sustainable seafood products ahead of the Chinese New Year, in response to insights from consumersSINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 February 2026 - As families across Singapore and Malaysia prepare to toss yusheng and serve whole steamed fish for Chinese New Year, new research reveals a striking disconnect: more than eight in ten Malaysians (85%) and nearly three-quarters of Singaporeans (74%) say sustainable seafood matters to them. Despite actively seeking out sustainable sources, a YouGov survey commissioned by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) found that more than half of Singapore consumers (58%) have never noticed an eco-label when shopping. Recognition of the MSC blue ecolabel label sits at 21%. With seafood consumption expected to rise during Chinese New Year as celebrations take centre stage, it's a critical moment for sustainable shopping choices. Malaysia consumes more than double the global average per capita (49 kg versus 21 kg globally), while Singapore imports most of its seafood supply. Without clear labelling and retailer commitment, consumers who want to make sustainable choices often cannot. In Malaysia, where fishing remains central to coastal livelihoods, 75% of Malaysians believe support and resources are essential for local fishermen to fish responsibly and sustainably. In Singapore, where nearly all seafood is imported, consumers look to retailers and regulators for assurance, with ......read more

"Geopolitical Volatility" is a top five current and future risk, highlighting the growing instability across the region 83 Percent of Firms Report Rising Insurable Risk Costs TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 February 2026 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, has released the Japan findings of its 2025 Global Risk Management Survey. The survey reveals that Japanese businesses are navigating a complex landscape marked by persistent cyber threats, supply chain disruptions and weather/natural disasters. The survey, which gathered insights from nearly 3,000 risk managers, C-suite leaders and executives across 63 countries, highlights the unique risks Japan businesses are facing amid global disruption. Japan's Top Risks: "Cyber Attacks/Data Breach" remains the top risk for Japanese businesses, consistent with global trends. "Supply chain or distribution failure" ranks second, as extreme weather events and mounting geopolitical volatility including shifting trade policies force companies to reassess their supply chains. In addition, "Product Liability/Recall" and "Exchange Rate Fluctuation" pose significant risks, reflecting the country's manufacturing strength and exposure to global market volatility. Notably, 63.6 percent of Japanese respondents reported losses due to product liability or recall issues and 47.6 percent cited losses from exchange rate ......read more
Cruise, Self-Drive, and Cancellation Disputes on the Rise HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 February 2026 - As Hong Kong's outbound travel market surges, so do the headaches involving insurance claims. A recent deep dive by 10Life, the independent insurance comparison platform, shows a growing rift between what travelers think they bought and what their policies actually cover. Their data suggests that large proportion of disputes are born from simple misunderstandings, with the most significant risks lurking in cruise packages, road trips, and complex cancellation clauses. Cruises and Road Trips: The Newest Coverage Blind Spots Many travelers assume a standard policy for Japan or Southeast Asia is a "catch-all," but 10Life experts warn that cruises and multi-leg journeys often fall through the cracks. A surge in rejected claims has been linked to travelers failing to add specific "Cruise Cover" to their plans. Without this specific add-on, high-cost risks like onboard medical treatment or sudden itinerary shifts are frequently excluded. The story is similar for self-drive travellers. While most people now know to check for "snow driving" exclusions, a major point of confusion remains the difference between a ruined experience perceived loss and an actual monetary loss. For instance, if bad weather prevents you from visiting a famous hot spring, insurers view this as a non-monetary "loss of ......read more
Built for growing families and unpredictable schedules, the VinFast VF 8 combines spaciousness, towing capacity, advanced safety features, and long-term warranty coverage in an electric SUV that handles daily routines and unexpected detours alike.DUBAI, UAE - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 February 2026 - In the Middle East, families rarely plan only for what is certain.

The VinFast VF 8 is positioned as a "just in case" SUV, engineered to address these varied and dynamic demands.

For families with boats, trailers, or desert camping equipment, that figure translates into practical reassurance that the man of the house will not have to decide which items stay behind. The vehicle ......read more

The achievement is documented in the short film Aircraft Meets Racetrack, the first project to emerge from BRP-Rotax's Brand Ambassador partnership with Luke Czepiela, launched in 2025.

SINGAPORE / KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 February 2026 - Point Hope, a local investment firm, has published a new research note examining the implications of accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) investment, infrastructure constraints, and evolving competitive dynamics within equities markets. The research addresses two dominant concerns currently shaping investor sentiment. The first is whether AI will disrupt incumbent businesses, particularly in capital-light software sectors. The second relates to whether physical constraints — especially power generation, permitting, and grid capacity — may slow the rollout of AI infrastructure and temper expectations embedded in current market valuations. According to the firm's analysis, both concerns warrant careful consideration. Power generation remains capital-intensive and time-consuming, suggesting that AI deployment is likely to progress unevenly rather than in a linear fashion. At the same time, the scale of capital investment underway is unprecedented. Large technology companies have outlined plans for an estimated US$600–700billion of AI-related capital expenditure in 2026, with a significant portion directed toward data centres, chips, servers, and supporting infrastructure. These commitments reflect their belief that AI will become a core input across the global economy. The research argues that for equity investors, the more consequential question is not whether AI adoption will ......read more
BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 February 2026 - As China marks Xiaonian, or Little Chinese New Year, there is growing evidence of its ancient traditions evolving into global lifestyle trends. CGTN published an article analyzing how this prelude to the Year of the Horse – from the folk ritual of "sweeping the dust" to the cross-cultural fusion of the Spring Festival Gala – illustrates China's growing global cultural resonance. As the lunar calendar turns its final pages, China enters a period of joyful anticipation known as Xiaonian, or Little Chinese New Year. Often celebrated as the Festival of the Kitchen God, it marks the official start of the "busy year" – a traditional term for the intense, joyful period of preparing food, cleaning homes, and shopping for the upcoming Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is a deeply significant time for family reunion. In 2024, UNESCO inscribed the "Spring Festival, social practices of the Chinese people in celebration of the traditional Chinese New Year" onto the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. While daily routines continue to evolve, they remain anchored in rituals that provide a sense of normalcy and meaning. It is perhaps no wonder that in a climate ......read more
LONDON, UK - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 February 2026 - In the 1930s, De Beers redefined the role of diamonds in society, celebrating them as masterpieces of nature and craftmanship. Before this, diamond jewelry pieces were treasures exchanged discreetly amongst society's elite, as luxury houses, fearful of diminishing their mystique, fostered only private relationships with their clients. De Beers revealed the wonder of diamonds to a wider audience, shifting the perception of them from luxury item to a gift integral to romantic milestones and aspirational, glamorous lives, as well as a way of marking personal achievement. De Beers Group And Assouline Celebate The Launch Of “A Diamond Is Forever: The Making Of A Cultural Icon 1926-2026” When copywriter Frances Gerety captured the diamond's essence with the phrase “A Diamond Is Forever” in 1947, the declaration enshrined the diamond as a promise of love and endurance, a sentiment resonating far beyond the notion of a simple gift.
