HONG KONG, Oct 14, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) is showcasing smart mobility technologies, including cutting-edge Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technologies aim at enhancing autonomous driving safety, at the 44th HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), running from 13-16 October at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).The exhibition, drawing thousands of buyers and industry professionals from home and abroad, is one of the world’s premier electronics marketplaces, fostering industry exchange and collaboration. Participation at this annual flagship event would help promote ASTRI’s connected autonomous vehicles technology, bringing homegrown innovation to the global arena, and reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as a leading international innovation and technology hub.With smart mobility taking centre stage at this year’s Electronics Fair, ASTRI hosted a seminar today titled “Navigating Tomorrow: How Connected Autonomous Vehicles Reshape Industries”, where industry leaders shared insights into the future of autonomous driving, including market potential and associated challenges.ASTRI’s Chief Operating Officer Ir Chris Chong said at the seminar that autonomous vehicle (AV) technology mitigates human error and driving misconduct, thereby enhancing road safety. He added that the city’s autonomous driving technology is progressing in tandem with global developments. In alignment with the government’s initiative to further advance driverless technologies, ASTRI plans several autonomous bus trial runs at different locations in Hong Kong next year.Other seminar speakers include Mr Kenny Chan, Chief Director, Innovative Mind, ASTRI; Dr Weisong Wen, Assistant Professor, Department of Aeronautical and Aviation Engineering, and Team Member of Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University; Mr Richard Lee, Functional Manager, CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing and CUHK Institute of Health Equity; Ms Doris Leung, Founder and CEO, Diamond Cab (Hong Kong) Limited; Mr Jojo Xu, CEO and Co-founder, Libpet Tech Ltd; and Mr Falcon Chan, Partner, Strategy, Risk & Transactions, Deloitte China.ASTRI’s booth is located at HKCEC’s Convention Hall Foyer [booth number: CH-J04], and the smart mobility technologies on display at the fair are:1. Smart Mobility Management PlatformASTRI's platform offers comprehensive fleet management, including vehicle status monitoring and dispatching. Seamlessly integrating connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV), it meets the evolving demands of future smart mobility. By combining V2X systems with traffic data from open sources and ASTRI's own deployments, the platform leverages AI to provide real-time insights, transforming urban mobility. These insights facilitate informed and cautious decision-making, enhancing the safety of drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.2. Pilot Project of Autonomous AIBus Operation on Public Road with Real TrafficThe pilot project funded by the Smart Traffic Fund is being trailled firstly on public roads in Hong Kong. Following the Code of Practice for Trial and Pilot Use of Autonomous Vehicles published on 1 March 2024. The West Kowloon Cultural District serves as the testbed, the total length of the route is tentatively scheduled to be approximately two kilometers. A road test with selected passengers is scheduled to be commenced in 2025, providing practical data for the future adoption of autonomous driving technology on public roads in Hong Kong.3. Privacy-Preserving Sensing System on Roadside Units (RSUs)These systems collect environmental information while safeguarding personal privacy by processing data locally, without transmitting to cloud servers. This ensures real-time, low-power sensing capabilities, ideal for applications like smart home automation and robotics. This combination of data privacy and efficient sensing facilitates more secure and reliable technology integration into everyday life.4. Mid-Range and High-Precision Full-Dome Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)Utilising ASTRI-owned intellectual property, this LiDAR achieves high scanning accuracy at economical cost. Designed for medium-range, high-precision 3D sensing, it serves applications in building information modeling (BIM), security, intelligent logistics, and smart cities. The LiDAR enhances overall efficiency by generating detailed BIM models within seven minutes. Its integration with V2X technology advances smart mobility, detecting movements of road users in real-time, enhancing navigation capabilities of CAVs.5. Real-Time On-Train Intrusion Detection SystemThis system, which is co-developed by MTR and ASTRI, offers real-time detection of unexpected objects within tunnels, using multi-sensing fusion technology. It identifies objects even in extremely low-light conditions, generating a 3D train envelope and providing instant alerts. This enhances railway safety and contributes valuable data for the development of Smart Railway.Meanwhile, Dr Justin Chuang, Vice President, Communications Technologies, ASTRI spoke at the Symposium on Innovation & Technology, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Electronics and Technologies Association, where he discussed the role of wireless communications technologies in promoting digital twins and related applications.Media EnquiryConnie Lau Tel: (852) 3406 2506 / (852) 9497 5390 Email: connielau@astri.orgBeatrice Lam Tel: (852) 3406 0196 / (852) 9036 0212 Email: beatricelam@astri.orgPhoto Download https://bit.ly/4eEkNTZLegislator The Hon Ir Dr Lo Wai Kwok (sixth from right), visits ASTRI’s booth at the HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) with the accompany of HKTDC Electronics and Electrical Appliances Advisory Committee Chairman Professor Steve Chuang (fifth from right) and HKTDC Deputy Executive Director Ms Sophia Chong (seventh from right), along with other guests.

SINGAPORE, Oct 12, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A credit card is a valuable financial tool that ensures fast, safe and convenient payments. Over time, it also helps you build credit. However, with the right credit card, you can do even more. Get deals and discounts on dining, shopping, travel, and petrol. Here are a few ways your credit card can help you save money.Rewards programsA rewards credit card will typically earn you entry into a rewards program offered by the credit card issuer or a partner company. Rewards programs vary from one card to the next, but most of them enable cardmembers to earn reward points on eligible transactions like online grocery, online or in-store shopping purchases, food delivery, travel expenses, dining, bill payments, fuel, etc. Cardmembers can usually redeem their reward points from a wide range of merchandise, convert points to cash rebates or use points to offset and pay for your purchases.Cashback programsA cash back credit card grants cardholders a rebate on eligible transactions, including grocery purchases, fuel purchases, shopping and dining. Earned cash back may be credited to your account at the end of your billing cycle or you may have the option to pay for purchases with cash back points. Your credit card may even offer you bonus cash back rates in certain categories or if you have a savings account with the bank. Enjoy the convenience of redeeming your cash back on-the-go through your mobile. Familiarising with the cash back program can help you maximise your cash back earnings.Sign-up offersMany credit cards offer sign-up bonuses or offers, where you can earn a significant amount of points or cash back after spending a certain amount within the first few months. This is a one-time offer that's usually reserved for new cardmembers and may expire if the points or cash back are not used on time. Taking advantage of a sign-up bonus is a great way to save or earn money with your credit card in the first year.Discounts and promotional offersA credit card company may partner with retailers, dining establishments and ecommerce platforms to offer their cardmembers impressive discounts and savings on eligible purchases. These are usually instant discounts of up to 50% on select purchases. Cardmembers who track deals and shop smartly can save thousands of dollars every year.Travel benefitsTravel credit cards feature a range of benefits designed to make travel more convenient and enjoyable for cardmembers. Some cards allow cardholders to earn miles on eligible purchases. Miles usually function similarly to reward points and can be redeemed against travel purchases like airfare, accommodation, dining, etc. Travel cards may also offer perks like complimentary access to airport lounges and accelerated miles on online travel bookings, which can save you money on travel expenses. Some cards include travel insurance, which can come in handy if your baggage is lost in transit or delayed.Different credit cards may offer a range of ways to help consumers to save money and earn rebates. However, it's important to use your card responsibly to ensure you get the maximum benefit. Don't forget to consider any fees or charges associated with your credit card (such as annual fees) to get a full picture of your true credit card savings. Lastly, ensure you keep your account in good standing so you can continue to enjoy these benefits.Notice:Opinions, analyses, reviews, or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the select editorial staff alone and have not been reviewed, approved, or otherwise endorsed by any third party.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Public Bank Berhad (“Public Bank”) had on 10 October 2024 entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) with the Estate of the Late Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Teh Hong Piow (“Estate”) and Consolidated Teh Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“ConTeh”) to acquire in aggregate 175,896,000 ordinary shares in LPI Capital Bhd (“LPI”), representing approximately 44.15% equity interest in LPI, for a total cash consideration of RM1.72 billion (“Proposed Acquisition”).LPI, a company listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, has been in operations for over 60 years and is mainly involved in the underwriting of general insurance. It currently has 21 branches throughout Malaysia, 1 branch in Singapore and also operates in Cambodia through an associate company.Speaking at the press conference after the SPA signing ceremony, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Tay Ah Lek, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Public Bank said, “The Proposed Acquisition represents a strategic opportunity for Public Bank to further expand its general insurance segment into the Malaysian market through the LPI Group. This will allow the enlarged Public Bank Group to establish an immediate market presence and strong foothold in the general insurance segment in Malaysia as a comprehensive complementary service to its current financial services and Family Takaful offerings.”He further added that, “The Proposed Acquisition is also in line with our Group’s plans to expand beyond just organic growth but through strategic acquisitions to expand our product and service offerings as evident by our recent completion of the acquisition of Public Bank Securities Vietnam Company Limited which allowed our Group to expand our financial services offering in Vietnam with the inclusion of securities trading services.”Tan Sri Tay concluded by saying, “This strategic acquisition of LPI Group, a long-established and leading general insurance player in Malaysia, represents a clear and unique opportunity for us to accelerate our vision to move towards a “Universal Banking Model” that offers comprehensive and diverse range of financial and other related products and services under the same group.With our existing network of over 260 branches located throughout the country, LPI Group would be able to leverage and expand its distribution channels and further grow its general insurance business in Malaysia. In addition, we would also be able to tap into the sales and distribution network of LPI and further expand our reach to cover clients and customers of LPI.Aside from the mutual cross selling of products and services, Public Bank and LPI will also explore possibilities on developing new integrated products and services catering to our customers’ financial and insurance needs.”As this is a related party transaction, the Proposed Acquisition is subject to the approval of the non-interested shareholders of Public Bank at an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to be held at a later date. Should the Proposed Acquisition be approved at the EGM, Public Bank will be obliged to extend an unconditional mandatory take-over offer (“MGO”) (“Proposed Offer”) for the remaining equity interest in LPI not already owned by it.It is pertinent to note that Public Bank has received the approval from the Ministry of Finance and Bank Negara Malaysia for the Proposed Acquisition and is expected to complete this corporate exercise in the 1st quarter of 2025.Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to be value accretive and contribute positively to the future earnings of the Public Bank Group.At the same press conference, Teh Li Shian Diona, the youngest daughter of the late Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Teh Hong Piow also announced that the Estate and ConTeh intends to undertake a restricted offer for sale (“ROFS”) of a portion of their Public Bank Shares, progressively over a 5-year period and will be in compliance with the Financial Services Act.Diona Teh said, “My father often said that the success of Public Bank was not his alone – it is built on the trust and loyalty of its shareholders and the relentless commitment of its employees, or as he would like to call them his “corporate family”.“To honour his legacy and to show our deep appreciation and gratitude, we will be undertaking an exercise to distribute a portion of our Public Bank shares at a discount to all employees, directors and eligible shareholders of the Public Bank Group. This initiative aims to ensure that Public Bank remains in the hands of those who have nurtured its growth and success over the years, enabling us to continue building our legacy together.”She further added that, “Although we will be streamlining our stake, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our firm and unwavering commitment to continue as the major shareholders of Public Bank. This is not just a role or title for us – it is an honour and a responsibility that we deeply cherish. We are devoted to upholding my father’s legacy and continuing the stewardship of this esteemed institution.”“For this, we are deeply grateful to Bank Negara Malaysia and the Ministry of Finance for their trust in us by granting us the approval to continue helming Public Bank. With their support, we will perform our utmost best to lead Public Bank with the same passion, integrity, and vision that has defined the PBB group thus far.”Issued By: Swan Consultancy Sdn.
