NEW YORK (Bloomberg) -- Zoom Video Communications projected annual revenue that would top analysts' estimates, signalling the video meeting service expects to remain a ubiquitous presence in daily life even as the pandemic recedes. Shares jumped about 10 per cent extended trading. Sales will be as much as US$3.78 billion (S$5 billion) in fiscal year 2022, the company said Monday (March 1) in a statement. While the projected annual revenue growth of 43 per cent is far short of Zoom's 326 per cent increase in the fiscal year ended Jan 31, it topped the 37 per cent average estimate of analysts, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding some items, will be as much as US$3.65 a share. Analysts projected US$2.97. Investors have feared the software maker couldn't continue the dramatic growth in 2020 that came as people forced home in coronavirus lockdowns connected remotely on the service to work, school, friends and family. While Zoom's stock jumped almost fivefold last year as it became one of the biggest beneficiaries of the pandemic, it had gained just 11 per cent during the first two months of 2021 before surging almost 10 per cent Monday to close at US$409.66 in New...

SINGAPORE (REUTERS) - About one third of the roughly 150 ships owned by companies controlled by Singapore tycoon Lim Oon Kuin and his family have been sold as part of efforts to repay billions of dollars of debt owed to creditors, two sources told Reuters. Accounting firm Grant Thornton, court-appointed supervisor of Xihe Holdings, put up several vessels for sale through shipbrokers in September last year. Xihe Holdings is owned by the Lim family and held the bulk of their fleet. The rest of the ships are majority-owned by Xihe Capital - currently under liquidation according to Singapore business registry records - and 10 single purpose companies. The ships owned by the Xihe group have been sold at prices of US$2 million (S$2.65 million) to US$3 million each for coastal barges and around US$30 million each for very large crude carriers (VLCCs), said the two sources. Buyers include Greek ship owners, one of the sources said. Further details, including the total sum of money raised so far, were not available. It is expected the rest of the ships will be sold by late this year, although some of them are tied up in various lawsuits as counterparties try to lay claim to the cargoes on t...

LONDON (AFP) - Hedge fund boss Christopher Hohn set a UK record in 2020 for the biggest ever annual paycheck after he paid himself almost half a billion US dollars, according to documents filed on Monday (March 1). The billionaire boss, who owns 100 per cent of the Children's Investment (TCI) fund which he runs, paid the £343 million (S$634 million) sum into his personal company TCI Fund Management, documents at Companies House showed. The amount paid in dividends for the fiscal year ending in March is the highest ever paid to an individual in the Britain, The Guardian newspaper reported. The figure is 9,000 times the average annual salary in Britain. Mr Hohn broke the record previously held by Denise Coates, the founder of the British online betting site Bet365, who in 2018 pocketed £323 million in salaries and dividends. The previous year, the TCI boss received a sum of US$261 million (S$346.4 million) but he gave himself a pay rise after his fund's pre-tax profit rose from US$420 million in 2018-2019 to US$695 million in 2019-2020.

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - The S&P 500 surged on Monday (March 1) in its strongest one-day gain since June as bond markets calmed after a month-long selloff, while another Covid-19 vaccine getting US approval and fiscal stimulus bolstered expectations of a swift economic recovery. Johnson & Johnson ended up 0.5%, but off earlier highs, after it began shipping its single-dose vaccine after it became the third authorised Covid-19 vaccine in the United States over the weekend. President Joe Biden scored his first legislative win as the House of Representatives passed his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package early Saturday. The Bill now moves to the Senate. US bond yields eased after a swift rise last month on expectations of accelerated inflation due to bets on an economic rebound. The US 10-year treasury yield dipped to 1.449% after hitting a one-year high of 1.614%.

国际罕见病日：贝康医疗宣布为1000个罕见病家庭提供大型公益资助活动，全球首款遗传病阻断试剂盒进入临床试验！

HONG KONG, Mar 1, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 2021年2月28日是国际罕见病日，对罕见病患者这一特殊群体的关注度也骤然升温。辅助生殖领域龙头苏州贝康医疗股份有限公司(「贝康医疗」或「公司」；股份代号：2170)宣布了一项针对1000个罕见病家庭的大型公益活动，以期帮助这些家庭阻断遗传病的代代相传，让这些家庭的后代不再受到遗传病的困扰，彻底摆脱遗传病的魔咒。贝康医疗自主研发了一款针对遗传病阻断的胚胎检测试剂盒产品，该产品能够通过对多枚胚胎的逐一检测，从中挑选出不含有致病基因缺陷的胚胎进行移植，彻底阻断遗传病，这也是中国第一次掌握解决遗传病亲子代传递难题的尖端科技。在这之前，罕见病家庭除了需要承担患者本身带来的各种不便和压力外，父母如果打算再次生育，也没有很好的办法生育健康的下一代，直至“胚胎植入前遗传病检测技术”的首次出现，让罕见病家庭的下一代更健康，而这一革命性的技术创新对于全球的罕见病家庭意义重大。贝康医疗已经完成了上述产品的注册检验，正式进入了临床试验阶段，预计将于2022年获得医疗器械注册证，这也将是全球首个能够实现遗传病阻断的胚胎检测临床注册产品。据FDA统计，全球已知的罕见病约有7,000多种，其中约80%属于遗传性疾病，罕见病人数更是接近5亿。对于罕见病，目前只有不足5%的罕见病具有明确的治疗方法，国际上也只有1%的罕见病存在治疗药物，罕见病家庭在生育下一代时仍然会面临生育同样罕见病的高风险。除了已经统计的罕见病家庭，那些还未生育下一代的“致病基因”携带者夫妇同样是潜在的罕见病家庭，根据文献数据统计，遗传病致病基因携带人群的比例高达84%，平均每个人携带的致病基因数量为2.8个，按照中国14亿人口估算，仅中国就有约11.76亿人口携带有致病基因，每一对携带相同致病基因备孕夫妇都有可能生育出遗传病患儿，因此罕见病距离每一个人其实并不遥远。如何采用一级预防手段实现孕前阶段更大范围的遗传病携带者筛查与胚胎阻断，对于遗传病的预防尤为关键，而胚胎植入前遗传病阻断技术能够确保这些家庭生育的后代不再发病，该技术也是当前国内外针对遗传病致病基因携带夫妇最为关键和有效的手段。以地中海贫血为例，地中海贫血(简称“地贫”)又称为海洋性贫血，中国重型和中型地贫患者在30万人左右，而地贫基因携带者超过3000万人，涉及近3000万家庭进1亿人口，尤以两广地区最为严重，广东“地贫”基因携带者超过10%，广西“地贫”基因携带者超过20%，如果能够将这一技术运用于上述地贫基因携带人群的胚胎植入前阻断，将对中国区域经济和人口健康作出巨大贡献。目前中国出生缺陷发生率约为5.6%，每年新增出生缺陷约90万例，大约每5个婴儿死亡中就有1个死于出生缺陷，每小时有3个婴儿死于出生缺陷。如何借助胚胎阻断技术帮助中国约11.76亿这一...

SINGAPORE - Despite the pandemic, the transformation of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) into a new-generation defence force by 2040 remains on track, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said on Monday (March 1). The delivery of new hardware such as helicopters and fighter jets is also still on schedule, along with the launch of new facilities and initiatives to sharpen the SAF's ability to meet emerging threats, Dr Ng said during the debate on the budget of the Ministry of Defence (Mindef). For instance, the Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF) upgraded F-16 fighter jets are expected to be rolled out in the coming months, and its earlier-acquired H225M and CH-47F multi-role helicopters will arrive this year to replace the older Super Pumas and Chinooks respectively. "We remain on track to receiving four F-35 Joint Strike Fighters around 2026 and for the RSAF to start basing training in Guam from 2029 onwards," he added. But some key plans have been delayed, such as the completion of military training facility Safti City by 2024 instead of 2023, and the six-month delay for the navy's Invincible-class submarines to mid-2022.

SINGAPORE - More national service enlistees will soon be able to take on operational roles within the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), regardless of medical fitness, as the organisation reviews the way it classifies their fitness for different vocations. This is as the SAF introduces new vocations and redesigns existing ones in response to a changing threat environment, such as having cyber specialists to protect key digital networks and systems, Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How said during the debate over the Ministry of Defence's (Mindef) budget on Monday (March 1). "We are redesigning our Medical Classification System (MCS) and the Physical Employment Standard (PES) System to shift away from the binary classification of combat-fit versus non-combat-fit deployment," he said. "Medical exclusions that used to limit deployments may no longer be relevant in today's operational context or with the latest technology." The current MCS sees full-time national servicemen (NSFs) classified as either combat-fit or non-combat-fit, while the PES system categorises NSFs by suitability for combat vocations, ranging from PES A and B1 for combat vocations to PES F, where they are d...

HONG KONG, Mar 1, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 2月26日，恒生指数公司公告称，将乐享互动（06988.HK）纳入恒生综合小型股指数。这意味着其将同步被调入港股通。众所周知，港股通一直是内地投资者参与港股市场的重要通道。而入选港股通的股票一般需要满足一定的市值规模及交易量要求，也在一定程度上代表了港股市场具备长期竞争力的核心资产。近年来，中国内地资金持续影响港股生态，港股通成交金额占港股总成交金额的比重逐年升高。在2020年前三季度，港股通成交金额已经占到了港股总成交额的21.7%。随着港股通重要性持续提升，每一次港股通股票名单的调整，也往往会引起港股市场投资人极大的关注。究其原因，一方面是因为内地投资者的大量资金涌向港股市场，为这些港股通股票注入了更大的流动性，提升了股票的活跃度；另一方面，入选港股通将极大地提升公司的知名度，加深资本市场对上市公司的理解，促使公司估值进一步回归价值。以心动公司和中国飞鹤为例，获纳入港股通次日，心动公司和中国飞鹤分别上涨4.85%和6.53%。其中，中国飞鹤更是在此后两个月股价累计上涨34.07%。正式成为港股通股票后，乐享互动有望进一步扩大股东基础，改善股权结构，提升股票流通性及资本市场知名度。乐享互动于2020年9月23日成功在港交所上市，是国内最大的移动新媒体效果营销和SaaS服务MarTech（营销技术)公司之一。公司以数据和算法为核心，为行业客户和移动新媒体内容发布者提供商品与流量之间的耦合营销服务。具体来看，公司不仅为行业客户提供跨平台的移动新媒体效果营销服务，同时也为广大移动新媒体内容发布者提供营销SaaS服务，以帮助其通过多种合法合规的产品和形式高效实现商业价值。近年来，随着移动新媒体市场的迅速爆发，乐享互动的业务增长迅速。据最新业绩预告，公司在2020年延续了强劲增长态势，预计营收在8.80亿到9.20亿港元之间，同比实现六成以上增长；扣除汇兑损益前利润约为1.7亿港元至2.0亿港元，同比增长约123.7%至163.2%。相当于2019年同期的2.2倍至2.6倍。除了原有业务的稳健增长外，营销SaaS服务也是乐享互动的另一大看点。乐享互动于2013年6月开始营销SaaS服务。截至目前，公司已经形成了效果营销和营销SaaS服务双轮驱动的业务增长模型。向自媒体发布者提供营销SaaS服务的重大意义在于，公司可以从流量平台自动化获取稳定的优质内容资源，让内容发布者高效变现的同时，又可以实时分析营销效果，为数据积累和算法迭代提供强有力的支撑。值得一提的是，与绝大多数营销技术公司不同，乐享互动是为数不多具备跨平台服务能力的公司。截至目前，公司具有在微信、抖音等不同的互联网流量平台同时进行服务的能力。尤其在短视频领域，公司先发优势更加明显。早在2019年1月，公司就...

SINGAPORE - Consumers have been warned not to buy or consume the weight-loss products "Bobba Fitz" and "Bobba Toxx" after they were found to contain a banned substance and a dangerous level of laxative respectively. Bobba Fitz is labelled to contain natural ingredients such as whey protein, cocoa powder and garcinia cambogia, which is a fruit-derived ingredient, but the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) found that it also contains sibutramine, which has been banned since 2010 due to it causing an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Bobba Toxx contains an amount of a laxative - sennosides- that is about four times the usual dose, said HSA in a statement on Monday (March 1). Sennosides, when consumed at high levels, can cause adverse effects such as cramping and diarrhoea. Prolonged use may cause chronic constipation, bloating and abdominal pain. Both products - marketed as weight-loss products - are often sold together and packaged in boxes of 10 powdered sachets. HSA said in the statement that a woman here experienced palpitations and mood swings after consuming both products. She recovered after she stopped taking the supplements.

SINGAPORE - Stricter penalties as well as regular enforcement and inspections have brought the number of illegal vehicle modification offences down over the past five years, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Amy Khor. In the past two years, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) issued an average of 610 notices of offences per month to owners of illegally modified vehicles. These modifications include non-compliant exhaust and lighting systems as well as tinted windows. The number of such offences fell from an average of 1,800 per month in 2015 to 550 per month last year, Dr Khor told Parliament on Monday (March 1). But taking workshops that perform these illegal modifications to task remains a challenge, she noted, even after the Road Traffic Act was updated in 2017 to give enforcement efforts against these workshops more teeth. "It remains challenging to establish culpability against the workshop," she said in response to Mr Lim Biow Chuan (Mountbatten), who asked whether the authorities would step up enforcement and impose higher penalties against workshops that are complicit.

SINGAPORE - Singapore will get its first highest-level biosafety containment lab ready by 2025 - the first such facility in South-east Asia - to prepare for the next big pandemic or biological threat, said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on Monday (March 1).

Viruses are classified into Risk Groups 1 to 4, according to their transmissibility and lethality.
