SINGAPORE, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Daily shopping in Singapore often goes beyond picking up essentials. From groceries at neighbourhood supermarkets to online orders during festive sales, these routine purchases can become more rewarding when planned well. Many shoppers today explore Rewards Credit Cards as a way to earn cashback, points, or travel perks while managing everyday expenses. When selected based on lifestyle preferences, these cards can help transform routine spending into meaningful benefits without altering regular purchasing habits.Singapore's cost of living means that everyday expenses such as groceries, dining, transport, and digital subscriptions can easily cross SGD 1,200-1,800 monthly for an individual. Choosing a card that aligns with these spending patterns can make it easier to earn steady value across categories that already form part of daily life.Here are five everyday spending categories where Rewards Credit Cards may help you earn cashback or points from purchases you already make, plus one simple tip for getting more value from the rewards you accumulate.1. Turn Grocery Runs into Reward OpportunitiesGrocery shopping forms a significant part of monthly expenses in Singapore, especially with rising food prices. Using Rewards Credit Cards for purchases at supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant can help you earn cashback or reward points on essential spending. If a household spends around SGD 500 monthly on groceries, even a modest 5% cashback rate can return SGD 25 per month, which adds up over time.Some credit cards also partner with grocery retailers to provide exclusive promotions or bonus reward days. Planning grocery purchases during promotional periods can also help maximise benefits while keeping everyday shopping habits unchanged.2. Enjoy Dining and Coffee Breaks with Extra PerksSingapore's vibrant food culture makes dining out a common lifestyle activity. Whether it is hawker meals averaging SGD 6-10 or café visits costing SGD 15-25 per visit, food-related spending can accumulate quickly. Rewards Credit Cards offering dining cashback or restaurant discounts can help make these experiences more enjoyable without increasing overall expenses.Some Credit Cards also provide exclusive dining deals at partner restaurants or offer bonus reward points during weekend dining.3. Make Online Shopping More Cost-EffectiveOnline shopping continues to grow rapidly in Singapore, especially during seasonal sales such as 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12 events. Rewards Credit Cards offering higher cashback or bonus points for online transactions can help shoppers gain extra value during these promotional periods. For example, if monthly online spending averages around SGD 300, cashback benefits ranging from 6% to 10% might generate steady savings.These perks can help enhance the shopping experience while encouraging smarter spending decisions.4. Convert Transport and Ride Expenses into SavingsDaily commuting costs in Singapore, including MRT fares, bus rides, and ride-hailing services, often total SGD 120-200 monthly. Using Rewards Credit Cards that offer cashback or reward points on transport expenses can help turn routine travel into a steady source of savings. Certain cards also offer additional benefits such as fuel discounts or ride-hailing promotions.These features can help individuals who drive or frequently use private transport services enjoy small but consistent savings.5. Earn Rewards While Paying Utility and Subscription BillsMonthly utility bills in Singapore generally range between SGD 120 and 180, while mobile, streaming, and broadband services often cost another SGD 60-120. Paying these recurring bills using Rewards Credit Cards can help accumulate points or cashback without additional effort.Some Credit Cards also provide bonus rewards for recurring transactions, making bill payments more valuable. Over time, these benefits can contribute towards travel redemptions, shopping vouchers, or statement credits.Pro Tip: Turn Reward Points into ExperiencesAfter earning rewards from everyday spending categories, cardholders may choose to redeem them for lifestyle experiences, such as travel bookings, hotel stays, or entertainment passes, instead of using them only for basic discounts. In Singapore, short regional holidays to destinations like Bangkok or Bali often cost between SGD 350 and SGD 800, and accumulated reward points may help reduce these expenses. Some Rewards Credit Cards offer curated lifestyle privileges, such as airport lounge access or event invitations.Making Everyday Shopping More MeaningfulWhen aligned with personal spending habits, Rewards Credit Cards can help turn routine purchases into opportunities for savings, travel, or exclusive experiences. Selecting a Credit Card based on individual lifestyle needs, spending categories, and reward preferences can help create consistent value across everyday transactions.With careful planning, tracking expenses, and choosing cards that reflect real-life spending patterns, shoppers can gradually transform routine purchases into enjoyable lifestyle benefits.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature.Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking.The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute.Why no-surveillance work management matters nowEmployee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue.Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring.What Vaiz offers instead of surveillanceVaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software.The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page.Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company's position: "We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people. If a platform needs to capture your screen to know whether you are productive, the problem is not the employee — it is the platform."Switching and pricingVaiz's Migration Center supports one-click imports from Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Notion, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, and Wrike. Pricing starts with a forever free plan for up to 10 users, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs five US dollars per user per month, and the Premium plan costs nine US dollars per user per month. An Enterprise edition with on-premises deployment is available for organisations with data residency requirements. A 30-day free trial covers all paid plans, and startups qualify for a 50 percent discount.Development paceVaiz today releases version 2.84, which introduces calendar integration. Since September 2025, this is the tenth numbered release. The team has recently moved to a two-week release cycle, accelerating from the previous pace of roughly one major update every three weeks. Earlier releases in 2026 delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and an iOS app with full desktop parity. The public product roadmap is available on the website.The company's focus is building a connected workspace where teams can plan, execute, and communicate in one place — without tools that treat employees as subjects of observation. More information is available at vaiz.com.About VaizVaiz Ltd was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The company operates a cloud-based work management platform that combines task boards, documents, and automation in one workspace. Vaiz is used by cross-functional teams at startups, product companies, game studios, agencies, and growing businesses.Related linksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vaiz/Media contactBrand: VaizContact: Mike BurtonEmail: support@vaiz.comWebsite: https://vaiz.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Commercial competition in the robotics industry is shifting from technology showcases to real-world consumer applications. Taozhu New Creation Bureau, a robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), has recently accelerated its rollout in Beijing’s core commercial districts. Following the official opening of its Beijing apm store on April 30, the brand’s Chaoyang Hopson One outlet also debuted on May 1, further strengthening the company’s offline robotics experience network.At the Beijing apm store, Taozhu New Creation Bureau continues to embody its brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” creating an immersive smart living space that integrates product showcases, hands-on experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, and maintenance services. Consumers can interact up close with humanoid robots, companion robots, smart wearable devices, and other products, experiencing how robotics technology is moving from being merely “watchable” to genuinely “usable” across scenarios such as household service assistance, entertainment interaction, and smart living trials.The Chaoyang Hopson One store further enhances Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s commercial appeal within high-traffic retail districts. Centered on the theme of “empowering commerce through technology and driving consumption through innovation,” the store will introduce products from ecosystem partners including Unitree Robotics, Booster Robotics, Vbot, and others. Its product offerings cover quadruped robotic dogs, educational programming robots, smart wearables, smart home devices, and other intelligent equipment. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interactions, science education courses, themed events, and holiday-limited activities, the store aims to attract young consumers, parent-child families, and technology enthusiasts, while converting experiential engagement into consumption. It is positioned as a benchmark project for robotics technology consumption experiences and is expected to support the upgrade of traditional commercial districts into integrated “technology + commerce” scenarios.From the perspective of its Beijing footprint, Taozhu New Creation Bureau has now covered locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Chaoyang Hopson One, forming a multi-dimensional robotics consumption network that connects industrial landmarks, transportation hubs, and core commercial districts. Shougang Park serves as a venue for industrial showcase and technology experience, the airport store reaches high-mobility traveler groups, while Beijing apm and Hopson One tap into core urban retail consumption scenarios. Together, these locations form the front-end platform for showcasing, experiencing, and selling Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics products.Meanwhile, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is also promoting nationwide replicability. The brand previously made its debut in Chengdu’s Chunxi Road commercial district, leveraging a key consumption landmark in Southwest China to test a consumer pathway combining immersive interaction, on-site experience, and instant purchase. As the brand expands into more core commercial districts in major cities, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to replicate its Beijing model across the national market.For Shoucheng Holdings, Taozhu New Creation Bureau will further complete its robotics commercialization value chain. The company invests in high-quality robotics enterprises at the front end, introduces products into diversified scenarios such as industrial parks, airports, and commercial districts at the midstream level, and completes a closed loop of experience, sales, maintenance, and services through offline stores at the back end. As the robotics industry enters a phase of accelerated application deployment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is becoming Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics consumption gateway closest to users, orders, and cash flow.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taozhu New Creation Bureau, the robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), is accelerating its entry into core consumer scenarios. On April 30, Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s Beijing apm store officially commenced operations; on May 1, its Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store subsequently made its debut. The coordinated launch of two stores in prime commercial districts not only expands the brand’s offline consumer touchpoints, but also marks the further extension of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry strategy from the investment and industrial ends to the mass consumer market.Built around the brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” Taozhu New Creation Bureau targets robotics technology experiences and future lifestyle consumption scenarios. It has created a multifunctional smart living space that integrates robotics displays, immersive experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, after-sales maintenance services, and industrial ecosystem exchange. At the Beijing apm store, demonstrations such as robotic dog walking displays, companion robot Q&A sessions, and smart wearable trials transform cutting-edge technology from static showcases into real consumer experiences, encouraging consumers to move from “watching technology” to “trying technology” and ultimately “buying technology.”Following the Beijing apm store’s role in opening up consumer touchpoints through immersive interaction, the launch of the Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store further introduces this experience model into high-frequency commercial scenarios, amplifying its value in commercial conversion and scenario validation. Located in the core CBD area, Hopson One benefits from high foot traffic, a young consumer demographic, and strong family consumption frequency. This collaboration is not merely a single-store opening, but a cross-sector upgrade between a commercial district operator and a robotics industry platform. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interaction experiences, holiday-limited promotions, science education courses, and themed events, the two parties aim to create a new traffic engine for “commercial district + technology.” For the commercial district, Taozhu New Creation Bureau can help generate buzz, aggregate foot traffic, and extend customer dwell time. For robotics companies, it provides channels for real user feedback, market validation, sales conversion, and after-sales reach, supporting the transition of cutting-edge robotics products from exhibitions and laboratories into high-frequency consumer scenarios.From the perspective of Shoucheng Holdings’ overall robotics footprint, the significance of Taozhu New Creation Bureau lies in completing the commercialization loop. In recent years, Shoucheng Holdings has continued to deepen its presence across embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, medical robots, service robots, and other fields. Its investment portfolio now includes a number of companies such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Narwal Robotics, Xinghaitu, Songyan Dynamics, Weici Technology, and R-robot. The robotics industry is currently at a critical stage of moving from technological breakthroughs toward scaled applications. Companies generally require support from real-world scenarios, sales channels, user data, and after-sales systems. Taozhu New Creation Bureau is therefore assuming the dual role of both an “industrial outlet” and a “consumer gateway.”More notably, leveraging its accumulated capabilities in infrastructure asset operations, industrial space management, fund investment, and the REITs ecosystem, Shoucheng Holdings is building an “investment + application + consumption” industrial model. At the front end, the company secures high-quality robotics enterprises through fund investments; at the midstream level, it promotes technology deployment through industrial spaces and application scenarios; and at the back end, it reaches users and forms a closed loop of transactions and services through consumer channels such as Taozhu New Creation Bureau.For the capital market, the expansion of Taozhu New Creation Bureau offers a new window through which to assess the execution quality of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy. The long-term value of the robotics industry depends not only on technological advancement, but also on whether products can enter real-life scenarios, generate stable orders, and support sustained repeat purchases. As diversified scenarios such as Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Hopson One are gradually rolled out, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics ecosystem from “investing early and investing accurately” toward “selling effectively, being practically usable, and delivering ongoing services.” Market participants noted that Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to become one of the closest links to cash flow, users, and scenarios within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry layout.

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation. Based in Surabaya, ITS is committed to advancing global sustainable development through cutting-edge research, technological innovation, and collaboration with industry.

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1.

As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2.

Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3.

HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research. Citizens in the EU and US have spoken clearly in favor of this transition. HEAL can prevent many diseases, avoiding the need for animal studies altogether." -Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga | Universities Aarhus & Utrecht; Doris Wilflingseder | Vetmed Uni Vienna, Aysha Akhtar | Center for Contemporary Sciences, Corina Gericke & Gaby Neumann | Doctors Against Animal ExperimentsFigure 4.
