Singapore Sets the Stage for Halal Culinary Revolution with Inaugural HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards

Singapore Sets the Stage for Halal Culinary Revolution with Inaugural HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards

Singapore, 14 December 2023 — Singapore is poised to spearhead an innovative era in Halal culinary experiences, marked by the debut of the HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards. This groundbreaking endeavor, a collaborative effort between HalalTrip and the Singapore Halal Culinary Federation, was today exclusively unveiled to the media and partners, signifying an important milestone in the evolution of Halal dining. The awards, signaling the start of a new chapter in Halal cuisine, are set to extend their reach to additional cities in the forthcoming years.

The HalalTrip Gastronomy Award is a prestigious recognition in Halal dining, established to honor Singapore’s most exemplary Halal culinary establishments. These awards evaluate Halal eateries, placing a strong emphasis on culinary distinction. Participating venues are evaluated on five criteria, including creative presentation, flavor harmony, food quality, menu innovation, and service excellence, with the best performers receiving one to three diamonds. Moreover, leading contenders in each segment will vie for the coveted Best-in-Class Awards. This evaluation process is conducted with utmost integrity by professional inspectors dining incognito.

In addition to the awards, the HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards introduce a Gastronomy Cook-off, an arena for celebrating the extraordinary talents of chefs from Halal dining establishments. This competition will bring together chefs of diverse expertise, challenging them to stretch their culinary imagination and skills.

“We are thrilled to launch the HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards, a landmark initiative set to redefine the Halal dining experience in Singapore and globally. This platform is not just an award; it’s a celebration of culinary innovation and a tribute to the diverse, rich flavors that Halal cuisine offers. We aim to set new benchmarks in Halal culinary excellence, inspiring chefs and establishments to elevate their craft constantly. This is a step towards showcasing Singapore as a vibrant epicenter of Halal gastronomy, inviting the world to savor and appreciate the unique and exquisite tastes that our talented chefs create.” said Chef Kamal, President of the Singapore Halal Culinary Federation.

According to the Mastercard-CrescentRating Halal Food Lifestyle 2021 report, Singapore Muslims’ expenditure on Halal dining was estimated to be SGD 700 Million in 2019. Local Muslim millennials were identified as the key driving force behind the growth of this sector. With Muslim visitors to Singapore spending SGD 300 million in 2019, the total Halal dining market was estimated to be SGD 1 Billion in 2019. 

The upward trajectory in the Halal food market mirrors the evolving preferences of the modern Muslim diner. Today’s consumers look beyond just Halal certification; they yearn for a rich and varied culinary experience, ranging from authentic street food to upscale fine dining, all aligned with their faith and ethical values. This shift signifies a growing emphasis on quality, innovation, and diversity in Halal gastronomy.

“In the spirit of innovation and appreciation for the finest in Halal gastronomy, the HalalTrip Gastronomy Awards mark a momentous partnership between HalalTrip and the Singapore Halal Culinary Federation,” said Raudha Zaini, Strategic Partnerships & Projects Lead at HalalTrip. “This inaugural culinary accolade sets the stage for the celebration of culinary excellence and spotlights exceptional Halal dining establishments, starting with Singapore. It is a testament to our commitment to continuously elevate Halal lifestyle experiences.”

The first HalalTrip Gastronomy Award recipients will be revealed at the fourth Halal In Travel Global Summit in May 2024. The summit serves as the leading international forum for the Halal travel industry, drawing a wide range of participants from travel professionals and industry pioneers to culinary experts.

World War Children Care Foundation (WCCF) Launches Global Initiative in Kuala Lumpur

World War Children Care Foundation (WCCF) Launches Global Initiative in Kuala Lumpur

World War Children Foundation [WCCF] officially launched at Shangri-la Hotel Kuala Lumpur. During the event, WCCF has also appointed representatives for its various chapters in Malaysia, China, Serbia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Hong Kong, and Taipei. These representatives will be responsible for coordinating local initiatives, fundraising, and advocating for the foundation’s mission in their respective regions.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 13 (Bernama) — The World War Children Care Foundation (WCCF) officially commenced its international humanitarian mission aimed at assisting children affected by war with a swearing-in ceremony of the foundation’s committee today at Shang Ri La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

The foundation, which was a registered non-profit organization in Malaysia, stated that the objective is to rescue and rehabilitate children residing in modern conflict zones while offering the said children educational opportunities that can nurture their physical and mental well-being. The foundation is created through a joint initiative between Madam Linda Wong, Dato Dr. Clement Tan of Clement & Associates, and Attorney Dato’ Koh Mui Tee. The foundation has appointed representatives for various chapters in Malaysia, China, Serbia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Hong Kong and Taipei.

In the near future, the foundation is set to lead the comprehensive ‘Dove Aid Operation’ (DAO) program in 2004, in close collaboration with several international organizations. This program will adopt a secure and holistic approach to safely extract children from war zones and provide them refuge in secure shelters, ensuring their safety and well-being.

“Together, we will identify the most urgently required rescue areas, assemble teams comprising medical personnel, social workers, and dedicated volunteers, and distribute essential supplies such as food, medicine, and bedding,” Linda Wong, WCCF President, emphasized during the launch of WCCF.

The foundation’s vision includes the establishment of International Humanitarian War Children Schools in Malaysia and China, which will be open to children from diverse backgrounds, races, religions, and cultures. These schools will implement the Caring Education curriculum, guided by the Yi Hai Education Group, with the goal of helping children overcome the psychological trauma they have experienced, fostering confidence, and reigniting optimism.

“We aim to showcase the incredible strength and courage of war children as they reintegrate into society, becoming compassionate individuals who contribute to rebuilding their homes and caring for others in need,” Wong noted.

Currently, tens of thousands of children worldwide endure the hardships of war. These children require not only care, support, and love but also urgent action. Therefore, WCCF passionately appeals to compassionate business organizations and individuals to join hands in this noble cause.

In addition to its mission, the foundation unveiled a business charity campaign called “Healing the World Through Business,” with the first corporate donation initiated through Green Smart Planet Platform’s continual business revenue, presented with a mock cheque for RM1,217,000.

During the event, the foundation further introduced “Saving War Children with Your Cup of Coffee,” where attendees voluntarily participated by adopting cups of premium coffee from Clemént Coffee Boutique, with all business profits donated to the foundation.

The foundation has appointed representatives for various chapters in Malaysia, China, Serbia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Hong Kong and Taipei.

The launch was also attended by Deputy Director-General of the Children’s Division Wan Noraidah Wan Mohd Zain on behalf of Women, Family, and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.

Why Nakano City:

The Philosophy of ‘Sonoda Stand’:

The idea for “Sonoda Stand” emerged from a DJ event where ramen was served. This led to the establishment of a ramen shop, which later evolved into the concept of “Sonoda Stand,” focusing on what modern “public” or “masses” desire in a dining experience. This concept became popular on social media, leading to queues outside the store. “Sonoda” aims to continue offering a nostalgic yet modern dining experience that resonates with today’s generation.

Indonesia aims to Develop High-Quality and High-Integrity Carbon Credit Projects

Indonesia aims to Develop High-Quality and High-Integrity Carbon Credit Projects

JETP has set targets to be achieved by 2030, including 250 Mt CO2 emissions (on-grid) and a 44 per cent share of renewable generation. To meet these targets, an estimated $97.3 billion will be required by 2030.

SINGAPORE
– Indonesia and the International Partners Group (IPG), led by the United
States and Japan, have jointly committed to establishing the Just Energy Transition
Partnership (JETP) during the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia. JETP aims to
accelerate a fair and gradual energy transition in Indonesia’s electricity
sector. Through JETP, Indonesia pledges to reduce peak greenhouse gas emissions
to 290 metric tons of carbon dioxide (Mt CO2) by 2030, accelerate the share of
new and renewable energy (NRE) to 34 Mt CO2, and achieve Net Zero Emission
(NZE) by 2050. In support of Indonesia’s goals, IPG members have promised
funding of $20 billion from the public and private sectors for energy
transition projects in Indonesia.

According
to Edo Mahendra, the Special Advisor to the Coordinating Minister for Maritime
and Investment Affairs of Indonesia, JETP has set targets to be achieved by
2030, including 250 Mt CO2 emissions (on-grid) and a 44 per cent share of
renewable generation. To meet these targets, an estimated $97.3 billion will be
required by 2030.

“In
2030, there will be over 400 priority projects, and we need an investment of
$66.9 billion,” he stated during a presentation on the JETP Implementation
Phase and Indonesia Carbon at an investment forum held in Singapore on Friday
(8/12).

The
Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan (CIPP) for the Indonesia Just Energy
Transition Partnership (JETP) has been released for public comment. The CIPP, a
“living document” requiring regular updates to reflect global trends
and national priorities, covers energy transition pathways, policy
recommendations, financing, and implementation.Image

“The
JETP website acts as the meta-monitoring platform for the public, facilitating
matchmaking between project developers and financiers. It also serves as a
dashboard to monitor and evaluate progress.”

Indonesia
is pursuing multiple carbon pricing mechanisms to capture value from emissions
reductions.

“The
carbon pricing mechanism is divided into two – market mechanism and non-market
mechanism. For market mechanisms, there is the Emission Trading System (ETS)
and offset carbon market.”

Edo
added that Indonesia aims to produce high-quality and high-integrity carbon
credit projects, with the benefits of spurring investment in emission
mitigation activities and low-carbon technology. The country also aims to
unlock opportunities from domestic and international entities seeking high-quality
carbon credits at a premium price and promote Indonesia as a global carbon
market hub.

“To
further develop its carbon market, Indonesia needs to focus on three key
pillars. First, opening the Indonesian carbon market for carbon credits from
projects in Indonesia and other countries and exploring the potential for
cooperation for derivative products. Secondly, collaboration with
internationally accredited carbon standards to ensure mutual recognition of
various traded carbon credits and to build quality of the human capital that
manages the Indonesian carbon market.”

According
to Edo, the last crucial aspect is technology, “Using technology that can
maintain the integrity, security, and transparency of carbon transactions, such
as blockchain,” he concluded.

RCBC unveils Christmas treats: free fund transfers, iPhone prizes

RCBC unveils Christmas treats: free fund transfers, iPhone prizes

TAGUIG CITY, PHILIPPINES – The Philippines’ most awarded and fastest growing unibank Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) announced on December 12 that InstaPay fund transfer fees will be waived for P1,000 and below transactions and that newly onboarded RCBC Pulz mobile app users will have a chance to win three iPhone 15 smartphones.Image

RCBC made the official announcement in time for the much-awaited 12.12 online sale and the Christmas season. The free InstaPay fund transfers promo is an important step for RCBC towards making digital banking more accessible and attractive to more Filipinos, especially this holiday season.

Users who open an RCBC Pulz account from December 10 to January 10 will instantly get a chance to win three iPhone 15 smartphones. The account must also be active within the promo period meaning that users must use it for daily transactions such as cardless withdrawals, bank transfers, deposits, foreign currency exchange, bills payments, e-loading, and many more. Filipinos working abroad can also open an RCBC Pulz account with their international number making them eligible for the promo. Three winners will be picked through an online raffle draw on January 24, 2024.

Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva said that the twin promos are RCBC’s simple way to thank its millions of customers for making RCBC the Philippines’ best bank for digital in four straight years, and for being voted as the number one in customer service in a survey by the Philippines Daily Inquirer and Statista, among its over 100 national, regional, and global accolades received

“This has been a year of blessings for RCBC because of the public’s continuous patronage of our world-class and multi-awarded digital banking services. It is only fitting that we pay back the public with the most exciting promo of zero Instapay fees for select transactions to give them the joy of convenience this season,” said Eugene S. Acevedo, RCBC President and CEO.

“This is an opportune time for us to launch such promos as Filipinos, especially ninongs and ninangs, will be gifting each other and there is no better way to celebrate our practices of gratitude this season than to make Instapay bank transfer fees free,” added Villanueva.

Acevedo hopes that more Filipinos will see and enjoy the power of digital banking solutions during the Christmas season wherein Filipinos become the busiest in organizing, attending, and celebrating year-end and solemn events commemorating religious festivities and the New Year.

Indonesian Government Calls on Citizens  to Support the Vision of Indonesia Emas 2045

Indonesian Government Calls on Citizens to Support the Vision of Indonesia Emas 2045

Indonesia is poised to enter a transitional phase in 2024 before embarking on a new era in the 2025-2045 national long-term development.

SINGAPORE –  Indonesia is
poised to enter a transitional phase in 2024 before embarking on a new era in
the 2025-2045 national long-term development. According to the Acting Head of
the Central Statistics Agency, Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, Indonesia’s
economic growth remains fairly stable amid the ongoing global uncertainties.
Fundamentally, Indonesia’s economy is in robust shape compared to the economic
crisis of 1998. This fundamental strength will serve as a significant asset for
accelerated progress in the upcoming period.

“We believe that amidst the
geopolitical upheavals triggered by the Ukraine-Russia conflict, followed by
the current Israel-Palestine situation, and global threats to energy and food
prices, Indonesia’s economy remains solid. The macroeconomic management, both
fiscal and monetary, is well-coordinated between the central and regional
governments. We can maintain stable growth at around five per cent,” she
stated during an investment forum themed “Investment Trends in Indonesia
2024 and Green Economic Opportunities” in Singapore on Friday (8/12).

Amalia mentioned that the vision
for Indonesia Emas 2045 will soon be enshrined in law, serving as a guide for
all stakeholders in Indonesia.

“We also need to build
ownership among the people so that this vision can be a source of pride and a
shared dream. So that when it is achieved, it will be a source of pride for all
of us. Not only for the Indonesian people but also for investors contributing
to this vision.”

To achieve this goal, Amalia
pointed out the need for an additional one per cent in Indonesia’s economic
growth.

“This one per cent means we
have to find new sources of economic growth. We will continue to promote
industrialization, and downstream will not stop. Downstreaming is not only in minerals
and mining but also in agro-based and ocean-based sectors.”

Amalia is confident that with
these new approaches to managing Indonesia’s economy, the target of six per
cent growth can be achieved.

In the same event, addressing
more than 200 forum participants, the Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM,
Bahlil Lahadalia, stated that the investment climate in Indonesia is evolving,
and Indonesia remains open to collaborating with investors from Singapore to
invest in Indonesia. Bahlil also emphasized that Indonesia does not provide
special facilities for specific countries only but is open to all investors
from various nations.

“I know that Indonesia is
facing a political year, but we are confident that politics will not disturb
the investment climate in Indonesia. The government is facilitating business
permits through the OSS Indonesia application for free,” he
expressed.

Intensifying the Green Economy,  Indonesian Government Explores Blue Economy Development

Intensifying the Green Economy, Indonesian Government Explores Blue Economy Development

The Indonesian government remains committed to advancing the green economy as part of its vision for Indonesia Emas 2045

The Indonesian government remains
committed to advancing the green economy as part of its vision for Indonesia
Emas
2045. According to Reza Yamora Siregar, the Special Staff to the
Minister Coordinator for Economic Affairs, Indonesia boasts abundant resources
ranging from geothermal and solar to hydropower.

“Green economy is our
commitment to the international community. (However), the government also
supports the blue economy as part of what we will promote in the future,
encompassing activities related to the sea such as tourism, transportation,
marine products including fisheries industry, storage systems, transportation
systems, shipping lines, and more,” stated Reza during an investment forum
themed “Investment Trends in Indonesia 2024 and Green Economic
Opportunities” in Singapore on Friday (8/12).Image

He noted that Indonesia’s economy
has consistently grown by five percent, even though it experienced a downturn
in 2020 due to the pandemic. However, since the first quarter of 2021, growth
has returned to five percent.

“What initiatives will lead
us to achieve 6 to 7 percent? Make it stronger. We have growth targets, poverty
targets, and quality market targets.”

Reza explained that Indonesia’s
current investment phase focuses on hard infrastructure due to the massive
construction projects, meeting domestic needs for airports, ports, and roads,
making the government’s current emphasis on building physical infrastructure.

“In the second phase, we
will move on to soft infrastructure, namely digitalization. The challenge
toward a green economy is how to transform coal-based energy into less-polluted
forms. Because there are low-pollution grades of coal. We are entering into
that before moving on to renewable energy.”

During his presentation at the
seminar, Reza added that infrastructure development supporting investment in
Indonesia is an ongoing process. He emphasized that it cannot be influenced by
future political conditions because investment is long-term and requires
commitment.

“The investments we have
made are multi-year, cannot just stop here. Regardless of the government, they
must respect this. We have also reformed laws in many sectors through the
Omnibus Law,” he explained.

As known, Indonesia and the
International Partners Group (IPG), led by the United States and Japan,
declared a joint commitment to form the Fair Energy Transition Partnership
(JETP) at the 2022 G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia. JETP aims to accelerate a
fair and gradual energy transition in Indonesia’s electricity sector. Through
JETP, Indonesia pledged to reduce peak greenhouse gas emissions to 290 metric
tons of carbon dioxide (Mt CO2) by 2030, accelerate the share of new and
renewable energy (NRE) to 34 Mt CO2, and achieve Net Zero Emission (NZE) by
2050. In support of Indonesia’s goals, IPG members have promised funding of $20
billion from the public and private sectors for energy transition projects in
Indonesia.”
