SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2026 – Genetron Corp., a provider of test and measurement equipment in Singapore, has introduced Deminars, a regional initiative to help engineers strengthen practical measurement and troubleshooting capabilities. Combining the concepts of “Demonstration” and “Seminar,” these technical training seminars integrate technical education with live equipment demonstrations, helping engineers connect theoretical concepts with real-world testing and validation applications across industries.
Genetron Introduces Regional “Deminars” to Bridge the Gap Between Test Theory and Real-World Application
Addressing Growing Complexity in Modern Engineering Validation
As industries adopt emerging technologies such as wide bandgap power devices and high-speed digital interfaces, engineering teams are facing increasingly complex validation, debugging, and compliance challenges. Signal integrity, power integrity, and measurement accuracy have also become more critical across modern product development environments, particularly as systems operate at higher speeds and tighter tolerances.
Despite wider access to advanced test equipment, many teams may still rely on legacy measurement approaches or have limited exposure to newer testing methodologies and tools. At the same time, accurately interpreting measurement results and identifying root causes continue to require strong application knowledge and practical measurement experience.
In response to these evolving challenges, Genetron introduced its Deminar programme to provide engineers with a more application-focused learning environment. Unlike conventional training seminars that focus primarily on theory, Genetron’s Deminars integrate technical education with live demonstrations using real equipment and practical application scenarios.
Combining Technical Education with Real-World Demonstration
Genetron’s Deminars are primarily designed for engineers and technical teams involved in research and development, product validation, debugging, and system development. Rather than focusing purely on product features or theoretical discussions, the sessions are structured around practical engineering challenges commonly encountered during development and testing processes.
A typical Deminar begins with an overview of the technology trend or validation challenge being discussed, including the industry drivers behind the adoption of newer technologies and the measurement implications that follow. From there, the sessions move into live demonstrations using actual test and measurement equipment within application-based setups.
Currently, the Deminars cover topics such as:
Testing methodologies for emerging technologies, including SiC and GaN wide bandgap power applications
Signal integrity challenges in high-speed serial communications
Practical probing techniques and measurement best practices aimed at improving signal fidelity and ensuring more reliable test results
Participants may also take part in guided hands-on exercises or structured measurement activities designed to reinforce technical concepts through direct application. Each session concludes with result analysis, discussions on common testing pitfalls, and practical recommendations that engineers can apply within their own development environments.
Expanding Technical Knowledge Across Southeast Asia
Currently, Genetron has conducted Deminars across several countries in the region, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and The Philippines.
Rather than tailoring sessions according to geography alone, Genetron customises each Deminar based on the industries, engineering applications, and technical challenges relevant to participating organisations. This allows the sessions to remain highly application-focused and directly aligned with the practical requirements faced by engineering teams in different sectors.
The programme is developed and led internally by Genetron’s engineering team. While the company works closely with technology principals and equipment manufacturers to incorporate current test and measurement solutions into demonstration setups, the seminar content, workflows, and technical demonstrations are independently developed by Genetron’s engineers to ensure practical relevance and technical accuracy.
Supporting Long-Term Engineering Development
According to Mr John Ong Moh Taur, the Managing Director of Genetron Corp, feedback from participants has been highly positive.
“Many engineers appreciate the combination of technical training seminars with practical demonstrations, as it helps them better understand both the capabilities and limitations of modern test and measurement tools,” Mr Ong shared. “The sessions have also helped customers improve confidence in measurement accuracy, troubleshooting workflows, and preparation for future validation requirements.”
As test and measurement requirements continue evolving alongside next-generation electronics and digital systems, Genetron plans to expand the Deminar programme with additional topics covering advanced debugging techniques, compliance testing methodologies, signal integrity analysis, and future power electronics applications.
“At Genetron, we believe that engineering excellence comes from combining the right tools with deep application knowledge,” said Mr Ong. “The Deminar initiative reflects our commitment to supporting the engineering community through practical technical education, application expertise, and real-world measurement experience.”
By helping engineers better understand modern test challenges and methodologies, the company aims to become a trusted technical partner for our customers’ current and future development needs.

Gautam Adani has secured a major legal reprieve in the United States after federal prosecutors moved to drop criminal fraud charges tied to allegations that his group misled investors over a solar energy bribery scheme in India.
The decision marks a sharp turn in a case that had weighed on the Adani Group’s global ambitions since November 2024, when prosecutors in Brooklyn accused Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and other executives of concealing alleged payments to officials in India to secure power supply contracts. The case had centred on claims that investors in US-linked bond offerings were misled about anti-bribery controls at Adani Green Energy.
Prosecutors have asked a federal judge in New York to dismiss the criminal charges, citing enforcement discretion and resource allocation. The dismissal still requires judicial approval, but the move effectively signals that the Justice Department no longer intends to pursue the securities fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy counts against Adani and the other defendants covered by the request.
Adani Group has consistently denied wrongdoing, describing the allegations as baseless. The conglomerate said the development vindicated its position that it had acted in compliance with applicable laws and governance standards. The group’s listed companies gained in Mumbai trading as investors assessed the legal relief and its implications for overseas borrowing, infrastructure partnerships and expansion plans.
The original indictment alleged that more than $250 million in bribes had been promised to officials in India to obtain solar energy contracts projected to generate substantial profits over two decades. Prosecutors had also alleged that Adani Green Energy raised capital from international investors while withholding information about the alleged scheme. Defence lawyers challenged the case on both evidentiary and jurisdictional grounds, arguing that the alleged conduct had insufficient connection to US markets and that key elements of the government’s theory were unsupported.
The Justice Department’s move follows a separate civil settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission involving Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani. The settlement was reached without admission or denial of wrongdoing and included monetary penalties and undertakings. A separate sanctions-related matter involving Adani Enterprises was also resolved through a civil settlement with the US Treasury Department over alleged purchases of fuel linked to Iran-origin supply chains.
The legal shift comes as Adani Group seeks to restore full access to global capital markets after a turbulent period that included short-seller allegations in 2023, regulatory scrutiny and questions from lenders and partners. The group has maintained that its balance sheet remains resilient, pointing to continued operations across ports, airports, electricity transmission, renewable energy, cement, logistics and data centres.
The criminal case had created reputational and commercial strain beyond the courtroom. Some international partners reviewed contracts, and projects outside India faced heightened scrutiny after the indictment. Kenya cancelled major deals linked to Adani entities, while other governments and financiers reassessed exposure to the group. The dropping of criminal charges could ease some of that pressure, although investors are likely to continue watching governance disclosures, leverage levels and regulatory filings.
Adani’s legal relief also intersects with broader US enforcement policy under President Donald Trump’s administration, which has shown a more selective approach toward certain foreign corruption and corporate cases inherited from the previous administration. The decision has prompted debate among legal specialists over whether the move reflects a reassessment of weak evidence, a shift in enforcement priorities, or the diplomatic and commercial weight of large cross-border investment plans.
For Adani, the immediate benefit is clear. The collapse of the criminal case removes the most serious legal threat facing the billionaire outside India and reduces the risk of travel restrictions, arrest proceedings or prolonged litigation in a US federal court. It may also strengthen the group’s ability to refinance debt and pursue infrastructure partnerships involving American investors and technology providers.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 May 2026 – Real Asset Management (RAM) has hosted an exclusive Active Investor Plus investor briefing at its Hong Kong office, bringing together distribution partners, investors and representatives from Invest New Zealand, as offshore investor interest in New Zealand’s residency-by-investment pathway continues to strengthen.
Agnes Liu, RAM Executive Director, Head of Client Advisory & Distribution – North Asia, and William Chai, RAM Managing Director.
The event comes amid renewed momentum for New Zealand’s Active Investor Plus (AIP) Visa, following changes introduced in April 2025 to simplify the program and attract more international capital into the New Zealand economy. As of 5 May 2026, Immigration New Zealand had received 688 applications under the new settings, representing a potential total minimum investment of $4.015 billion.
The growing demand reflects a broader shift in global wealth movement, as high-net-worth individuals increasingly seek jurisdictions that offer political stability, transparent governance, quality of life and long-term optionality for their families and capital. For many investors, New Zealand’s appeal lies not only in residency access, but also in the opportunity to participate in investments that support business growth, innovation and economic resilience.
Mr Scott Wehl, Founder of RAM Group and Director of RAM New Zealand, said the Hong Kong briefing provided an important forum for partners and investors to better understand the investment and migration opportunities available through the AIP programme.
“New Zealand continues to attract strong interest from global investors seeking stability, transparency and long-term opportunity,” said Mr Wehl.
“Our Hong Kong briefing was designed to help partners and investors better understand the opportunities that the AIP program offers, and how RAM’s income-focused strategies can support both investor objectives and the broader New Zealand economy.”
Supporting New Zealand’s real economy through private credit
A key focus of the briefing was the role private credit can play in supporting New Zealand’s real economy. Private credit can help broaden the country’s business funding ecosystem by providing an additional source of secured, non-bank capital for businesses seeking funding for growth, working capital, expansion or other productive business needs.
The RAM New Zealand Credit Fund is an approved managed fund under the AIP Growth category and may also be included as part of a Balanced category investment portfolio. The Fund is designed to provide investors with consistent income and capital stability through exposure to secured, asset-backed credit investments in New Zealand.
Through this strategy, RAM seeks to direct offshore investor capital into productive domestic investment while maintaining a disciplined focus on risk management, downside protection and portfolio diversification.
“The RAM New Zealand Credit Fund provides an AIP-aligned investment pathway focused on secured, asset-backed New Zealand credit,” said Mr Wehl.
“For investors, the Fund is designed to deliver regular income and capital stability, with liquidity aligned to AIP investment timeframes. For New Zealand, the strategy can support the real economy by directing offshore investor capital into domestic private credit and helping provide secured lending to New Zealand businesses.”
RAM’s credit approach is centred on disciplined credit selection and robust portfolio construction. The firm’s New Zealand credit capability is supported by a highly experienced team with more than 200 years of combined credit market experience, guided by leading credit experts and senior leaders with deep knowledge of New Zealand’s financial markets.
“Our approach is grounded in strong governance, prudent credit assessment and a clear focus on capital preservation, which is particularly important for investors seeking stable, income-focused outcomes across market cycles,” said Mr Wehl.
In addition to the RAM New Zealand Credit Fund, RAM also offers the RAM New Zealand Bond Fund, which may be included as part of a Balanced category investment portfolio. The Fund invests in a portfolio of floating-rate, investment-grade bonds issued by established banks and New Zealand entities, and is designed to prioritise capital stability while generating regular income.
With a long-term commitment to New Zealand, RAM will continue to leverage its international presence, investment capability and experience in income-focused strategies to support global investors and contribute to the continued development and diversification of New Zealand’s capital markets.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 May 2026 – Doremi3babies is one of Hong Kong’s most comprehensive retailers of Caraz baby playmats and playpens, with years of accumulated experience serving local families and maintaining quality standards for every product carried. Observing that size mismatches are among the most common issues parents encounter after purchase, Doremi3babies has drawn on its local service experience to compile a practical size selection reference based on actual Hong Kong residential floor areas, helping parents identify the most suitable mat size and playpen configuration for their home.
Space Is Limited in Hong Kong Homes — Choosing the Right Size Matters According to Hong Kong’s Census and Statistics Department 2021 Population Census, the median per capita residential floor area stands at approximately 172 sq ft. The latest Housing Bureau supply statistics (2025) show that 88% of private residential units currently in the development pipeline have a usable area of less than 70 square metres (approximately 753 sq ft). In a space-constrained home, a playmat that’s even slightly misjudged in size can disrupt daily living — making preparation before purchase all the more important.
4 Steps to Choosing the Right Size The following steps help parents confirm their needs before buying, reducing the chance of a mismatch after the mat arrives home: 1. Measure the net usable area: Measure the actual spot where the mat will be placed — deducting furniture and walkways from the total floor space, not the overall unit size. 2. Consider your baby’s developmental stage: Crawling infants (approx. 4–10 months) need continuous flat surface area; toddlers (approx. 10–18 months) benefit more from playpen boundaries to define a safe zone. 3. Decide whether to pair with a playpen: If combining a mat with a playpen, calculate the usable area inside the playpen — not the mat’s outer dimensions. 4. Choose the style based on your confirmed space: Once space constraints are clear, foldable or modular designs help maximise what’s available.
A General Size Reference Based on Unit Floor Area One of the most common mistakes Hong Kong parents make when buying a playmat is estimating size based on the total unit area, rather than the net usable floor space after accounting for furniture. The gap between the two is often what leads to a mismatch once the mat arrives home.
Caraz playmats, for example, offer a range from compact sizes suited to a corner of a single room, through to larger formats that can cover the main activity zone of a living area. Using net usable floor area as the starting point, the general reference is as follows: * Under 200 sq ft: A mat around 70×140cm is a common starting point. The foldable design is especially practical — it can be stored upright against a wall when not in use, freeing up the living space. * 300–400 sq ft: Mid-size options such as 120×160cm to 140×200cm are the most common choice among Hong Kong families, balancing play space with storage flexibility. * 400 sq ft and above: Larger formats such as 160×200cm or above give infants a dedicated zone for crawling and first steps without compromising daily living.
If a playpen is being added alongside the mat, the playpen’s overall outer footprint needs to be estimated separately — it cannot be read directly from the mat dimensions alone.
Three Practical Directions for Compact Homes For families with limited floor area, these approaches are worth considering: * Choose a foldable mat: Fold it away when not in use to free up everyday living space. * Consider a modular playpen system: Adjustable configurations adapt to irregular room layouts without being locked into a fixed size. * Base your size decision on net usable area: The right standard is whether it fits and gets used — not simply bigger is better.
