Nippon Express Bangladesh receives GDP certification for air cargo import/export services
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 -- Nippon Express Bangladesh Ltd (NE Bangladesh), a local subsidiary of Tokyo-based Nippon Express Co Ltd, has obtained Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification, effective recently, evidencing its compliance with standards for the proper distribution of pharmaceuticals applicable to air cargo import/export services.

Buddhist leader wants nuclear ban treaty, urges cooperation to combat pandemic
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 -- The 39th annual peace proposal by Daisaku Ikeda, president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) Buddhist association, titled ‘Value Creation in a Time of Crisis’ has been released, marking the SGI founding anniversary.
He calls for further global cooperation to address key issues including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate crisis, and the need to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
“Our shared efforts to respond to the pandemic can serve as a foundation for generating global awareness of the essential role of human solidarity in transforming crises,” he said in a statement.
Regarding the pandemic, Ikeda welcomes the COVAX facility that aims to ensure the global procurement and availability of COVID-19 vaccines.
He proposes holding a high-level meeting at the UN to address COVID-19 and the convening of an online ‘beyond COVID-19’ youth summit to discuss the kind of world young people want to see in the aftermath of this crisis.
Consistent with his decades of action toward the abolition of nuclear weapons, Ikeda welcomes the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which entered into force on Jan 22, as a ‘pivotal event ushering in a new era’ that will spur a paradigm shift in approaches to security.
He proposes that a forum for discussing the relationship between nuclear weapons and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be held during the first meeting of States Parties to the TPNW.
At the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference scheduled for August 2021, Ikeda also urges discussion on the true meaning of security in the light of crises such as climate emergency and the pandemic.
He calls for the final document of the Review Conference to include a pledge of non-use of nuclear weapons and the freezing of all nuclear weapon development until 2025.
The Soka Gakkai is a global community-based Buddhist organisation promoting peace, culture and education based on respect for the dignity of life.

Unveiled: Top 10 global consumer trends in 2021
 |
(Graphic: Euromonitor International) KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 -- Global market research company, Euromonitor International has revealed trends that will define consumer behaviour and influence business strategies this year, in a new report, ‘Top 10 Global Consumer Trends 2021’. The report is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin and Japanese. According to a statement, the COVID-19 pandemic created, influenced or accelerated each trend. One of the trends involve consumers expecting purpose-driven initiatives that support the triple bottom line — people, planet and profits (Build Back Better). Nearly 70 per cent of professionals expect consumers to be more concerned about sustainability than before COVID-19. Another trend sees consumers desire the ease of on-the-go, impulse and spontaneous occasions and simplicities of pre-pandemic life (Craving Convenience), while another focuses on reconnecting with nature and turning to open-air venues for leisure and to safely socialise (Outdoor Oasis). In addition, consumers demand contactless services, exceptional sanitation standards and products that enhance hygiene and immunity (Safety Obsessed), while another reassesses priorities and identities in pursuit of a more fulfilled life and improved mental resilience (Shaken and Stirred). Another trend involves finding a new work-life balance, as remote collaboration redefines the traditional office environment (Workplaces in New Spaces), whereby more than half of global consumers previously had a strict boundary between work or school and personal life. “2021 will be a pivotal year. Tailoring strategies to these emerging consumer trends will empower businesses to endure the unexpected and overcome adversities,” said Euromonitor International head of lifestyles, Alison Angus. -- BERNAMA |

Hong Leong Insurance (Asia) Limited Credit Ratings affirmed - AM Best
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 -- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of ‘a-’ of Hong Leong Insurance (Asia) Limited (HLIA) Hong Kong.
In a statement, the global credit rating agency, AM Best said the outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect HLIA’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
HLIA’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio.
A major offsetting factor was the company’s moderate reinsurance dependency. However, the potential credit risk is mitigated by HLIA’s prudent reinsurance programme with high quality reinsurers.
HLIA has long track record of operating profitability, supported by consistently positive underwriting results that outperformed industry peers, and evidenced by an average five-year combined ratio lower than 80 per cent.
The company maintains a small market presence in Hong Kong’s general insurance market with a strong focus on personal line insurance, such as travel insurance and domestic helper insurance.
The stable outlooks reflect AM Best’s expectation that HLIA will maintain positive underwriting results that outperform the industry average, supported by a low acquisition cost structure, and favourable claims experience, as well as a gradual recovery of premium revenue from its core product lines.

As a result, Polyplastics is working on the development of new PBT grades with enhanced low-dielectric properties and low water absorption.
For the radar bracket itself, electromagnetic wave-shielding properties are needed to protect against unnecessary reflected waves.
Polyplastics' electrically conductive grades, DURACON(R) POM CH-10 and EB-10, and DURANEX(R) PBT 7300E, are all being actively considered while new PBT grades with stronger electromagnetic wave-shielding properties are under development.
The company has also developed matte technology which uses laser treatment to reduce noise (scattered light), resulting in favourable gloss and blackness levels.
Polyplastics will continue to explore long-term durability and different process conditions to reduce treatment time.

PETRONAS' LEARNING SOLUTION WINS THREE BRANDON HALL EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY AWARDS
Gold and Silver Awards for ‘Managerial Excellence’ Programme
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 (Bernama) -- The ‘Managerial Excellence’ (ME) programme, a leadership development learning solution developed for PETRONAS middle management, has recently won Gold and Silver awards from the Brandon Hall Group in the Excellence in Technology category.
ME is curated by PETRONAS’ Human Capital Development (HCD) Division, in collaboration with PETRONAS Leadership Centre (PLC) and BTS, an international professional service firm that focuses on developing leaders to build critical capabilities and unleash business success.
The ME programme received the following awards:
1. Gold in Best Advance in Instructor-led Training (ILT) Management and Delivery;
2. Silver in Best Advance in Gaming or Simulation Technology; and
3. Silver in Best Advance in Social Learning Technology.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year, the ME programme was redesigned to be fully virtual by leveraging on technology, gamification and learning simulations to provide an engaging leadership learning experience for PETRONAS talents. This is part of PETRONAS’ commitment in providing the right leadership development opportunities to its staff regardless of challenging predicaments.
PETRONAS’ Vice President of Group Human Resource Management, Farehana Hanapiah said: "It is truly a great honour to receive the 2020 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards in Technology. The key to navigating these trying times is not only about addressing the current concerns but also building the capacity to prepare for better times.”
PETRONAS, she added, is a strong believer in the concept of “Learn Anytime, Anywhere” in delivering learning solutions to its employees by capitalising on the feasibility of the technology.
"As a progressive employer, PETRONAS believes in providing an enabling environment for talents to be able to pursue their own development and performance to create and add value to the organisation's growth and sustainability.”
Farehana elaborated that despite being faced with multiple challenges that have impacted the way of working and learning, the effective delivery of leadership development programmes has become more critical than ever. She said: “We are delighted that we had already embraced and embedded digital technology as part of our learning methodology, in which over time has become an effective learning solution, offering interactive learning experiences that are meaningful for our talents. This is in line with our aspiration to create an empowered, agile and enabled workforce.”
BTS’ Executive Vice President and Asia Managing Director, Patrick Fei said his company is honoured to be recognised alongside PETRONAS who is dedicated to equipping their talents with the skills and capabilities to lead into the future.
“BTS is glad to partner with PETRONAS in designing a truly virtual and digital learning experience to develop their next-generation of leaders. The recognition goes to show how embedding technology in a virtual environment can equally create measurable results and continue to bring about positive impact.”
This is the second year PETRONAS’ ME programme has been recognised by Brandon Hall Group -- a professional development company with over 27 years of experience in human capital management (HCM). Its HCM Excellence Awards was the first to recognise organisations for learning and talent. As the gold standard, it is known as the ‘Academy Awards of Human Capital Management’.
