It allows business personnel to rapidly build AI agents that solve real-world problems through visual drag-and-drop, much like building with Lego bricks.

Aesthetics of Tipsiness Meets the Lion City: 29° Crush On Officially Launches in Singapore

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – On April 20, Wuliangye hosted the 29° Crush On Launch & Enchanting Night at Wuliangye Dining Singapore. The official debut of 29° Crush On in the Singaporean market showcases the brand’s “Celadon Oriental Aesthetics” alongside innovative international consumption scenarios, presenting a new image of Chinese Baijiu to the Southeast Asian market—one that is international, fashionable, and trend-driven.

As Southeast Asia’s economic and financial hub and a gateway for multicultural consumption, Singapore boasts a mature and diverse alcohol market, providing a natural testing ground for the multi-scenario application of Chinese Baijiu. Whether it is a chilled specialty drink at a Marina Bay terrace party, a neat pour for a small gathering at Clarke Quay, or a creative cocktail at home, the “unrestricted trendy drinking” positioning of 29° Crush On fits perfectly.

Wuliangye Dining Singapore hosted a seven-day “A Toast To Youth” limited-time pop-up, attracting nearly 1,000 consumers. The Celadon-themed event space and signature 29° Crush On cocktails became hot topics on social media platforms like RedNote and Instagram. Multiple local influencers in the food, spirits, and lifestyle sectors shared their experiences, driving total platform exposure to over 2 million.

Many local enthusiasts shared their initial impressions of 29° Crush On: “It carries subtle floral and fruity notes with a rich aroma of pineapple—truly pleasant. Upon the first sip, a sweetness unfolds on the palate. As you savor it, you feel the rich layers of texture, followed by a clean, long-lasting finish that brings a comfortable warmth and a classic mellow aftertaste.” This leap from “cultural curiosity” to “consumer recognition” is largely driven by scenario-based innovation. 29° Crush On caters to business banquets, social gatherings, solo relaxation, and trendy mixology, allowing consumers to “please themselves anytime, anywhere” whether drinking it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.

The event was held at Wuliangye Dining Singapore, located in the vibrant Bugis District. Specializing in fusion Cantonese cuisine, the restaurant’s hallmark is the deep integration of dishes with Wuliangye Baijiu. Wuliangye forms classic pairings with signature dishes like Crispy Roast Chicken, Black Truffle Fried Rice, and Steamed Seafood. The unique aroma of the spirit complements Nanyang flavors, offering an international dining experience where “food carries the spirit of the baijiu, and baijiu enhances the flavor of the food.”

Aesthetics of Tipsiness Meets the Lion City: 29° Crush On Officially Launches in Singapore

Leveraging rising market heat and consumer word-of-mouth, Wuliangye Dining Singapore has successfully converted brand buzz into stable foot traffic, driving synergy between product communication and channel management. It has become a mature model for Wuliangye’s overseas strategy of “Offline Experience — Word-of-Mouth Expansion — Consumer Conversion.”

Jiang Jia, Deputy General Manager of Wuliangye Yibin Co., Ltd., stated that Singapore’s inclusive market provides a premium platform for the brand’s expression. The launch of 29° Crush On aims to convey the beauty of Chinese Baijiu in a way that is trendier, more international, and closer to the consumer.

Using Singapore as a strategic hub for Southeast Asia, Wuliangye will continue to deepen its localized operations and broaden consumption scenarios. By making Chinese Baijiu a natural and daily part of life for global consumers, the brand is steering the internationalization of Baijiu toward a new stage of high-quality development.

Easyhome Launches First Flagship Store in Kuala Lumpur

SUBANG JAYA, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – China-based home furnishing brand 居然之家 Easyhome has officially launched Easyhome Mall in Kuala Lumpur on 26 April 2026, marking its first major step into the Southeast Asian market and a key milestone in advancing China–Malaysia economic and trade cooperation.

From left: SUPT. Tan Shyong Shan, ACP Wan Azlan Wan Mamat, Philip Ho, Datuk Ab Wahab Bin Khalil, Wang Ning, Li Zhiqiang, KH Lim, and Vincent Lee Seng Chiang officiated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Easyhome Mall.

The grand opening ceremony welcomed a distinguished lineup of guests, including Wang Ning, Chairman and CEO of Easyhome; Tuan ACP Wan Azlan, Subang Jaya Police Chief; Tan Shyong Shan, Staff Officer for Enforcement (Inspector-General of Police’s Office); Vincent Lee Seng Chiang, CEO of Nanyang Siang Pau; Li Zhiqiang, Vice President of CECA and General Manager of China Telecom Malaysia; Dato’ Sri Dr. Philip Ho, CEO of Pavilion Group; KH Lim, Founder and CEO of Senheng; Dato’ Abdul Wahab, Advisor to Pavilion Group; and General Manager Xue Yaqi.

Strategic Entry into Southeast Asia

Wang Ning expressed strong confidence in Malaysia’s development prospects, positioning the country as a key starting point and strategic hub in the company’s global expansion roadmap.

He noted that as China’s manufacturing capabilities continue to advance, its products have become increasingly competitive globally, making international expansion an inevitable direction. At the same time, younger consumer demographics worldwide are driving demand growth, further reinforcing the push into overseas markets.

Malaysia’s mature business environment, openness to foreign investment, and strategic role as a gateway to Southeast Asia were key considerations. Moving forward, Easyhome Mall will serve as a base to expand into Southeast Asia, as well as into the Middle East and Central Asia.

Wang also revealed that the internationalisation strategy began approximately three years ago, with Malaysia being the first large-scale overseas implementation. Over the next three years, the company plans to strengthen its local supply chain and expand into key cities such as Johor Bahru and Penang, alongside other major regional markets.

A New Benchmark in Home & Lifestyle Retail

Established in 1999, Easyhome has grown into one of China’s leading home furnishing retail groups, operating nearly 400 stores nationwide. Its business ecosystem spans design services, furniture and building materials retail, smart logistics, and commercial operations, with strong emphasis on customer-centric service standards.

The Malaysia debut represents a replication of its proven “one-stop home solution” model, integrating China’s advanced supply chain with local consumer needs to deliver a seamless and innovative retail experience.

The project is developed in collaboration with Pavilion REIT, combining operational expertise and resource strengths to establish a benchmark for China–Malaysia commercial cooperation.

Empowering Smart Living Through Innovation

A representative from Pavilion REIT noted that the opening of Easyhome Mall marks a new phase for the Subang project, reflecting continuous upgrades and transformation to better serve the local community.

As technology reshapes lifestyles, homes are evolving into more intelligent and interconnected spaces. In response, Easyhome Mall introduces a new retail concept that integrates smart home technologies with modern living experiences, bringing a new dimension to Malaysia’s retail landscape.

A Fully Integrated One-Stop Home Destination

General Manager Xue Yaqi highlighted that home-related consumption typically involves multiple stages—from design and renovation to building materials, furniture, and appliances—often requiring consumers to visit multiple locations.

Easyhome Mall addresses this by consolidating the entire value chain into a single destination, enabling a seamless one-stop shopping experience. The “what you see is what you get” concept reduces information gaps and enhances decision-making efficiency.

This integrated model allows consumers to complete their home planning and purchasing journey within one space, significantly improving convenience and overall experience.

Comprehensive Lifestyle Offering

Located in USJ 1, Subang Jaya, Easyhome Mall is easily accessible via major highways including KESAS, NKVE, ELITE, and the Subang–Kelana Jaya elevated highway, as well as nearby LRT and BRT stations.

The mall features a carefully curated, multi-level layout:

• LG Floor: Supermarket, dining, and lifestyle offerings
• Ground Floor: Customised furniture and smart home appliances with integrated home solutions
• First Floor: International home furnishing brands with global design standards
• Second & Third Floors: Local brands focusing on mattresses and home essentials
• Fourth Floor: Dining and event spaces
This tenant mix brings together premium Chinese brands and local businesses, creating a complete “shop, dine, and experience” destination.


Driving Digital Transformation

Easyhome’s expansion is supported by its digital ecosystem, including platforms such as Doorverse, Homestyler, and Easyhome IoT.

Homestyler, developed in collaboration with Alibaba Group and enhanced through AI technologies with NVIDIA, enables advanced 3D design and immersive user experiences.

The Doorverse platform has achieved rapid growth, surpassing RMB100 billion in gross merchandise value within three years, reflecting the strength of Easyhome’s digital capabilities.

These technologies support the transition from traditional retail to a digitalised industry service platform, enhancing both operational efficiency and customer experience.

Strengthening Regional Presence

Malaysia represents a key milestone in Easyhome’s global expansion and serves as its first large-scale integrated overseas development. Following earlier ventures in Phnom Penh and Macau, the Kuala Lumpur launch marks a deeper commitment to Southeast Asia.

Beyond retail, Easyhome Mall acts as a platform connecting high-quality Chinese home furnishing brands with the Malaysian market, while simplifying the traditionally complex home furnishing process into a more efficient and enjoyable experience.

Looking ahead, Easyhome plans to further integrate its supply chain, establish overseas warehousing, and support the global expansion of Chinese home brands—from product export to full-scale internationalisation of brands and manufacturing.

Grand Opening Highlights

The opening ceremony featured lion dance performances and a series of promotional activities, including exclusive offers and “crazy sales” deals, attracting strong public turnout and long queues from early morning.

The successful launch of Easyhome Mall marks a promising beginning in Malaysia and sets the foundation for continued growth across the region.

Asia Pacific Rayon Reinforces Regional Commitment Through Strategic Engagements in Indonesia and India

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – Asia Pacific Rayon (APR), a leading global manufacturer of viscose rayon, has reinforced its long-term commitment to customers in Indonesia and India through a series of targeted industry engagements.

The company recently marked its eighth consecutive participation at Indo Intertex Expo in Jakarta, where it showcased new opportunities for viscose and lyocell fibres and strengthened relationships across the textile value chain. The exhibition brought together suppliers and buyers seeking new product ideas and business opportunities, giving APR a platform to deepen collaboration and expand market connections.

Central to APR’s Jakarta presence was a showcase featuring seven partner companies spanning spinning, weaving, knitting and garment manufacturing. By presenting these partners together, APR, a member of the RGE group of companies founded by Sukanto Tanoto, demonstrated the interconnected ecosystem underpinning Indonesia’s textile sector and the shared value created through close collaboration between fibre producers and downstream manufacturers.

A highlight of the showcase was a dedicated display of lyocell fabrics designed for batik applications. Batik, the wax-resist dyeing craft recognised by UNESCO as part of Indonesia’s cultural heritage, remains central to the nation’s textile identity. Lyocell’s compatibility with traditional dyeing methods offers artisans the opportunity to combine heritage craftsmanship with modern fibre innovation.

Building on this momentum, APR continued its engagement in India through participation in the Fibers & Yarns Expo in Mumbai, one of India’s premier textile trade fairs and a vital networking platform for the country’s extensive supply chain. The event enabled APR to deepen market engagement, forge new partnerships and reconnect with a rapidly expanding customer base.

At the Mumbai exhibition, APR introduced BVF, a finer denier viscose engineered for fine count spinning applications and targeting premium segments such as high-end fashion, athleisure, intimate apparel and home textiles. The Indian market continues to present significant growth potential as manufacturers seek reliable fibre supply, consistent product quality and proactive technical support to meet evolving consumer demands both domestically and internationally.

Sachin Malik, Commercial Head, Asia Pacific Rayon, said: “In the current market scenario, success is not a solo pursuit. It is about how effectively we integrate into our customers’ reality. Our strategy in Indonesia and India demonstrates that fibre producers must align their growth with the success of customers and the wider textile value chain.”

As regional supply chains face increasing pressure to become more resilient, APR’s exhibition strategy underscores a clear message: in textiles, competitive advantage is built not through scale alone, but through trusted partnerships that deliver stability, technical expertise and shared progress.

Motorist study: Singapore used car buyers are doing more research than ever before, but trust still falls short

  • Singapore car buyers still lack confidence due to unclear pricing and inconsistent information, even after weeks of research.
  • Consumers spend up to four weeks researching before visiting a dealership, yet gaps in consumer trust persist.
  • Buyers are up to 3 times more likely to return to the same dealership when pricing is clearly itemised.
  • Trust is becoming a stronger decision driver than price when comparing similar vehicles.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 April 2026 – More than half of Singapore used car buyers compare multiple options before making a purchase, yet many still experience uncertainty due to unclear pricing and inconsistent information across the market.

Navigating the Market: The Motorist SmartBuy Guide 2026 provides Singaporean car buyers with data-driven insights and a clear path toward transparent vehicle purchases.

This tension between effort and confidence is a key finding from the Motorist SmartBuy Guide 2026, based on insights from over 5,000 respondents, pointing to a growing gap between how informed buyers are and how much they trust the process.

More effort, same uncertainty
Consumers today are spending significantly more time researching before committing. On average, buyers take between two to four weeks to evaluate listings, compare options, and review information online before visiting a dealership.
Yet, despite this increased effort, confidence remains uneven. Many respondents cited persistent concerns around hidden fees, unclear valuation methods, and inconsistent inspection standards and issues that continue to undermine trust at the point of decision.
Transparency emerging as the deciding factor
The study found that transparency – particularly in pricing, vehicle condition, and trade-in valuations – is now a key driver of consumer confidence.
Buyers who received clear, itemised pricing breakdowns were up to three times more likely to return to the same dealer, underscoring how trust directly influences long-term customer relationships.
While price remains important, factors such as warranty clarity, after-sales support, and dealer credibility are increasingly shaping final decisions, particularly when comparing similar vehicles.
Persistent risks continue to shape buyer behaviour
The findings reflect ongoing challenges in Singapore’s used car market, where buyers continue to encounter issues such as:
– Hidden or unexpected charges
– Disputes over warranty coverage
– Lack of clarity in transaction processes
These risks reinforce the importance of due diligence and consistent standards across the industry.
Industry context: strengthening consumer protection
The findings come amid broader efforts to improve transparency and accountability within the sector.
The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) has consistently encouraged buyers to transact with accredited dealers that adopt clear contractual practices and provide additional consumer safeguards.

“Consumers are encouraged to look out for CaseTrust-accredited motoring businesses when making a purchase,” said Mr Melvin Yong, president of CASE. “These accredited dealers are required to adopt clear agreements and maintain safeguards that provide an added layer of protection for consumers.”

A market at an inflection point

The findings suggest that Singapore’s used car market is entering a more mature phase – where informed, cautious buyers expect greater transparency, consistency, and accountability.

As expectations continue to rise, the ability to provide clear information and build trust will increasingly define both consumer confidence and long-term competitiveness in the market.
