SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 7 May 2025 – Bee Choo Origin, Singapore's leading herbal hair care brand that specialises in hair fall treatment and oily scalp treatment , has reaffirmed its commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) with the donation of an electric passenger van to The National Kidney Foundation (NKF). This marks a significant step in enhancing patient mobility while promoting sustainable transport solutions.This donation is part of the long tradition of Bee Choo Origin supporting NKF, reflecting its dedication to making a positive impact beyond the beauty industry. The electric van, which is the first of its kind in NKF's fleet, will be used to provide transportation for kidney patients who require regular dialysis treatments but face difficulties commuting to and from medical centres.The donation from Bee Choo Origin supports NKF's Wheeling for Love & Hope Programme, which provides free transport services to patients struggling with mobility issues. The new electric van is designed with built-in access steps and spacious seating, ensuring safe and comfortable travel for patients. It is expected to facilitate up to 1,044 trips annually, benefiting approximately 72 patients per week.For many kidney patients, travelling to dialysis centres three times a week can be physically demanding and financially burdensome. NKF's transport programme alleviates this challenge, offering patients reliable and accessible transportation at no cost. The introduction of an electric van further enhances this initiative by reducing carbon emissions and lowering operational costs in the long run.'We're deeply honoured to partner with NKF on this meaningful initiative,' said Ms. Lim Xue Ting, General Manager of Bee Choo Origin. 'Dialysis is a lifeline for many, and we hope this contribution helps ease the journey for patients while also supporting a greener, more sustainable future. At Bee Choo Origin, community care and environmental responsibility are values we hold close, and this donation is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to both.'Bee Choo Origin has been a steadfast supporter of NKF for several years, previously donating five dialysis machines since 2018 to enhance treatment capacity. The latest contribution of an electric van builds upon this partnership, reinforcing the brand's dedication to social good.Beyond its work with NKF, Bee Choo Origin has actively supported various charitable organisations through its CSR initiatives, including:In 2019, the brand's founder, Mdm Cheah Bee Chew, personally donated $150,000 from the sales proceeds of her biography to multiple social causes, demonstrating her deep-rooted belief in philanthropy.As Bee Choo Origin celebrates its 25th anniversary, the brand is looking ahead to more initiatives that align with both environmental responsibility and community welfare. The transition to electric transport solutions is a step towards reducing carbon footprints while improving the quality of life for those in need."We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to society in meaningful ways," added Ms. Lim Xue Ting.

ChemOne secures US$350m Islamic insurance cover for PEC
KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore-based petrochemicals, green energy and natural resources conglomerate ChemOne Group announced that the Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), has approved an insurance cover of US$350 million (RM1.4 billion) for Pengerang Energy Complex (PEC) in Johor. This cover is structured to support Islamic banks participating in PEC's project financing, underscoring the strong institutional confidence in PEC and its long term strategic value to the region. 'ICIEC's support is a powerful validation of PEC's financial strength and far-reaching development impact. PEC will drive regional industrial growth, create thousands of jobs, and support regional value chains, all while adhering to global standards for sustainable and responsible financing. We are honoured to lead one of Asia's most impactful private-sector led financings,' said ChemOne chief financial officer Mayank Vishnoi. The ICIEC cover is structured under a Murabaha financing facility, providing 90% cover on both principle and profit—significantly de-risking the transaction for participating Islamic banks including National Bank of Kuwait, Qatar National Bank, Al Rajhi Bank Malaysia and Al Rajhi Bank KSA. Al Rajhi Bank KSA plays the role of lead Islamic bank and a coordinator to ICIEC as well as investment agent for the Islamic financing tranche. In addition, the IsDB Group—through IsDB and the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD)—has reinforced its commitment through a direct investment of US$150 million via Istisna-Ijara structures. The IsDB Group's total support for PEC—combining direct investments and credit enhancement—now stands at over US$500 million, marking one of the group's most substantial engagements in Southeast Asia. ICIEC is backed by AA- and Aa3 credit ratings from S&P and Moody's respectively, highlighting its strong financial fundamentals and key multilateral mandate to promote investment within member states. The PEC is envisioned as one of Southeast Asia's most advanced and sustainable energy and petrochemical facilities. Upon completion, the project will significantly boost regional supply capabilities in aromatics, clean fuels, and related products, all while adhering to international environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. The strong support from multilateral institutions reflects PEC's strategic role in supporting energy resilience and sustainability. The project is also aligned with Malaysia's ambitions to enhance downstream capabilities and increase the value-add in its hydrocarbon sector. Located in Johor's Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) in Johor, PEC is set to be one of the world's largest and most competitive integrated condensate splitter and aromatics facilities. It will utilise UOP Honeywell's latest LD Parex technology to maximise energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance feedstock flexibility, allowing the PEC plant to become one of the most advanced energy and carbon facilities in its class. During construction, PEC will create approximately 7,000 jobs, with 300 operational roles post completion of which 80% of which will be filled by Malaysians. Local SMEs are expected to benefit from US$1.2 billion in contracts in the areas of fabrication, erection, civil work, and bulk supplies. With a projected annual export turnover of US$5 billion, PEC is poised to position PIPC as a regional oil and gas hub and propel Malaysia's position in the regional oil and gas value chain.

Bursa Malaysia falls for second day amid trade tariff concerns, market breadth remains negative
KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Bursa Malaysia ended lower for a second straight session on Tuesday, bucking the regional uptrend, as investor sentiment remained cautious amid renewed concerns over US tariffs, analysts said. At 5 pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) shed 7.40 points, or 0.48 per cent, to 1,530.14 from Monday's close of 1,537.54. The benchmark index opened 7.85 points lower at 1,529.69 and moved between 1,526.27 and 1,531.14 throughout the day. Market breadth was negative, with 550 decliners outpacing 399 gainers. A total of 490 counters were unchanged, while 966 were untraded and nine suspended. Turnover narrowed to 3.06 billion shares worth RM2.20 billion, compared with 3.57 billion shares worth RM2.49 billion on Monday. UOB Kay Hian Wealth Advisors Sdn Bhd head of investment research Mohd Sedek Jantan said the FBM KLCI extended its losses amid heightened volatility in regional trade policy, with selling pressure particularly evident in banking and consumer-linked sectors. 'The domestic equity market remained under pressure following confirmation that Malaysian exports will face a 25 per cent tariff under the United States' latest trade action, one percentage point higher than initially signalled during the 'Liberation Day' announcement. 'While the local benchmark declined, regional markets charted a different course, with most major indices in Asia trading higher on cautious optimism that the US may still be open to negotiation,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said the tariff situation may not be as severe as perceived and suggested the recent selling could present a bargain-hunting opportunity, with valuations turning more attractive. 'Although the tariffs pose challenges, the impact on Malaysia is cushioned by the fact that regional competitors are also affected, in some cases more significantly. 'As such, we expect the benchmark index to trend within the 1,520–1,550 range for the rest of the week,' he said. Among heavyweights, Maybank and IHH Healthcare each slipped two sen to RM9.70 and RM6.70, respectively. Public Bank gained one sen to RM4.34, Tenaga Nasional added six sen to RM13.86, while CIMB fell 14 sen to RM6.61. In active trade, NexG rose 1.5 sen to 43.5 sen. Top Glove and Tanco slipped half-a-sen each to 68.5 sen and 89 sen, respectively. Zetrix AI gained two sen to 97 sen, while Supermax climbed 4.5 sen to 63.5 sen. On the index board, the FBM Emas Index declined 50.52 points to 11,468.14, the FBMT 100 Index dropped 55.32 points to 11,237.91, and the FBM Emas Shariah Index fell 68.29 points to 11,432.44. The FBM 70 Index sank 85.55 points to 16,537.90, while the FBM ACE Index eased 1.28 points to 4,472.34.
