TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Develops Miniaturized Micro Profile, a Next-Generation Contact tape for Fifth-Generation Signal Relays

March 12, 2025
TOKYO, Mar 12, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), a company engaged in the industrial precious metals business of TANAKA, announces the development of its miniaturized micro profile tape, a next-generation contact for fifth-generation signal relays. It has achieved a minimum width of 0.2 mm, making it the smallest-sized contact tape for fifth-generation signal relays. As relays become smaller, using miniaturized micro profiles can make contacts lighter in weight and suppress bounce and chattering*1 during the opening and closing of contacts. Shipment of this product’s samples is scheduled to start in late March 2025.Miniaturized micro profile (Contact tapes)Micro profiles are ultra-small contacts used in relays and switches, which are the signal control components in electronic devices. Relays are components that take in external electrical signals and carry out the opening and closing or switching of electric circuits. They are widely used in a variety of devices, such as those for communications and facilities and consumer electronics. Contacts embedded in relays responsible for the opening and closing of electric circuits require a high level of reliability as they may cause wrong operation or malfunction of devices if they do not operate properly.In recent years, the miniaturization of electronic devices has led to an increased demand for smaller relays. As relays shrink in size, the weight of the contact that causes bounce during opening and closing has become a significant issue. It is believed that bounce can be minimized by using smaller and lighter contacts. By reducing bounce, electrical signals can be controlled more accurately, which helps to prevent malfunctions in devices. Additionally, smaller contacts contribute to resource savings by reducing the amount of precious metals used, ultimately lowering costs. TANAKA has successfully developed miniaturized contacts through years of research and development in precious metal materials, along with advanced processing technology.Next-Generation Contact for Fifth-Generation Signal RelaysSince entering practical use in the 1830s, relays have been embedded in various electronic devices. Relays that control larger signals using relatively smaller signals (contact opening and closing current of up to 2 A) are called signal relays. Research and development of signal relays and contacts have progressed together with the development of electronic devices, with relays and the contacts inside them becoming smaller.TANAKA has been developing contacts for signal relays since the 1970s, succeeding in developing contacts (0.3 mm tape width) for fourth-generation signal relays in 1998 and contacts (0.25 mm tape width) for fifth-generation signal relays in 2023. Fifth-generation signal relays are used in various fields requiring a high level of reliability, such as communication devices, semiconductor inspection equipment, medical devices, network cameras, smart consumer electronics, and automobiles.History of signal relay contact miniaturization *Based on research by TANAKAMiniaturized contact that is compatible with various materials and methodsThe miniaturized micro profile contact tapes of TANAKA is compatible with various materials and methods. Multilayer contacts using different types of metals are available for a wide range of electric loads and are achieved through employing unique precision bonding techniques.Features of micro profiles (contact tapes)1. Allows multilayer bonding of different types of metals2. Contact tape with excellent bonding strength across its entire length3. Allows reduced sizes of relays and switches4. Various contact materials, shapes and thickness are available to suit a variety of applications.5. Method for forming the gold (Au) layer on the surface can be selected depending on the desired properties (cladding or sputtering)Cladding (left) and sputtering (right)*1 Both bounce and chattering are undesired phenomena in switches and relays, where the unintended opening and closing of contacts may lead to wrong operation. Bounce refers to the phenomenon where, due to shock during contact opening and closing, the contact jumps and repeatedly opens and closes. Chattering refers to the phenomenon of repeated opening and closing due to external vibration and such.About TANAKASince its foundation in 1885, TANAKA has built a portfolio of products to support a diversified range of business uses focused on precious metals. TANAKA is a leader in Japan regarding the volume of precious metals it handles.

Ukraine lancarkan serangan dron terbesar ke atas Moscow, mengorbankan 2 nyawa, ketika rundingan AS bermula

March 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Ukraine melancarkan serangan dron terbesar ke atas Moscow pada hari Selasa ketika delegasi kanan bertemu dengan Setiausaha Negara Marco Rubio dan Penasihat Keselamatan Negara Mike Waltz di Arab Saudi untuk perbincangan mengenai menamatkan Sejumlah 337 dron ditembak jatuh pada hari Selasa di Rusia, termasuk 91 di kawasan Moscow dan 126 di wilayah Kursk, Reuters melaporkan, memetik kementerian pertahanan Rusia. Pengeluar daging yang berpangkalan di Moscow, Miratorg, berkata dua pekerjanya terbunuh akibat serpihan yang jatuh, manakala 18 orang lain – termasuk tiga kanak-kanak – cedera selepas bangunan kediaman dilanda, kata pegawai kepada Reuters. Imej yang diambil di Rusia menunjukkan kerosakan pada kereta dan bangunan apartmen selepas serangan itu, yang buat sementara waktu menutup empat lapangan terbang Moscow. Rusia dilaporkan melancarkan peluru berpandu balistik dan 126 dron ke Ukraine sebagai tindak balas. Datuk Bandar Moscow Sergei Sobyanin berkata serangan dron Ukraine adalah yang terbesar pernah menyasarkan bandarnya, menurut Reuters. Di Jeddah, Arab Saudi, pegawai AS dan Ukraine tidak segera mengulas mengenai serangan dron itu. Pegawai Ukraine memberitahu Associated Press pada hari Selasa bahawa negara mereka bersedia untuk menandatangani perjanjian mineral yang dicari oleh Presiden dan akan mencadangkan gencatan senjata yang meliputi Laut Hitam. Delegasi Ukraine di Arab Saudi dijangka termasuk Andriy Yermak, ketua pejabat presiden, Andrii Sybiha, menteri hal ehwal luar negeri, Pavlo Palisa, kolonel angkatan tentera Ukraine dan penasihat kepada Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, serta Menteri Pertahanan Rustem Umerov, yang bukan sahaja terlibat dalam perbincangan awal dengan Rusia berikutan pencerobohannya pada Februari 2022, tetapi juga terselamat daripada serangan keracunan selepas mesyuarat damai pada Mac tahun itu. Rubio memberitahu pemberita pada hari Isnin bahawa "Perkara penting dalam mesyuarat ini adalah untuk menjelaskan niat mereka, keinginan mereka, seperti yang telah mereka katakan secara terbuka sekarang, berkali-kali, untuk mencapai titik di mana keamanan mungkin," sambil menambah bahawa beliau perlu diyakinkan bahawa Kyiv bersedia untuk membuat beberapa keputusan yang sukar, seperti menyerahkan wilayah yang dirampas oleh Rusia, untuk menamatkan perang tiga tahun itu. "Saya tidak akan membuat pra-penilaian esok tentang sama ada kita mempunyai perjanjian mineral atau tidak," Rubio juga berkata di dalam penerbangan ke Arab Saudi. "Ia adalah topik penting, tetapi ia bukan topik utama dalam agenda. ’ Caitlin McFall menyumbang kepada laporan ini. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Parti pembangkang Greenland mendorong hubungan AS yang lebih erat, kemerdekaan daripada Denmark ketika Trump memainkan peranan besar dalam pilihan raya Berita

Parti pembangkang Greenland mendorong hubungan AS yang lebih erat, kemerdekaan daripada Denmark ketika Trump memainkan peranan besar dalam pilihan raya

March 11, 2025
` tags. Here is the result: (SeaPRwire) - Rakyat Greenland akan pergi ke pusat mengundi untuk mengundi dalam pilihan raya parlimen negara mereka pada hari Selasa, dalam apa yang mungkin terbukti menjadi undi bersejarah bukan kerana sebarang perubahan besar dalam negara itu tetapi kerana isyarat yang akan dihantar.Kemerdekaan daripada Denmark bukanlah pada undi itu sendiri, tetapi siapa yang dipilih ke parlimen Greenland akan memberi isyarat bagaimana negara itu boleh bergerak maju bukan sahaja dalam memisahkan diri daripada Copenhagen, tetapi dalam menangani apa yang dianggap oleh beberapa pengkritik sebagai ancaman yang dikeluarkan oleh .Pilihan raya parlimen di pulau terbesar di dunia, sebuah negara yang mempunyai kurang daripada 60,000 orang, sebelum ini mendapat liputan yang sedikit kerana impaknya yang agak rendah terhadap hal ehwal dunia.Tetapi semua itu berubah pada bulan Januari apabila, menjelang perasmiannya, Trump enggan menolak kemungkinan "memperoleh" Greenland melalui cara ekonomi atau ketenteraan dan sejak itu mengulangi minatnya terhadap pulau yang penting dari segi strategik itu.Walaupun majoriti rakyat Greenland menyokong kemerdekaan daripada Denmark, mereka juga selaras dalam kebimbangan mereka untuk negara pulau itu.Tidak ada seorang pun penggubal undang-undang di Greenland yang bertanding dalam pilihan raya dalam kitaran ini untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada U.S., tetapi parti pembangkang utama yang dikenali sebagai Naleraq, yang kini hanya memegang lima daripada 31 kerusi di parlimen Greenland, mungkin mempunyai penyelesaian untuk mencapai kemerdekaan sambil turut menarik minat Trump.Qupanuk Olsen, seorang berusia 39 tahun yang bertanding di bawah parti Naleraq yang telah mengumpul kehadiran media sosial yang besar dengan lebih sejuta pengikut yang tersebar di Instagram, TikTok dan YouTube, berkongsi video pada bulan Januari di mana dia menjawab soalan mengenai pendapatnya mengenai perkara itu.Tanpa menyatakan secara langsung kedudukannya mengenai cita-cita Trump, kerana dia berkata dia mahu mengekalkan kehadiran media sosialnya sebagai "A-politik yang mungkin," dia menekankan sokongannya untuk mengembangkan perkongsian Greenland."Saya sangat percaya pada kemerdekaan Greenland," katanya, "Untuk mencapai ini, kita mesti mengembangkan kerjasama kita dan mewujudkan hubungan perniagaan dengan negara-negara di luar Denmark."Kami rakyat Greenland, Kalaallit, berhak untuk merdeka," sambungnya merujuk kepada kumpulan etnik Inuit Greenland. "Dan saya berharap kita akan mengukuhkan hubungan kita dengan rakan-rakan Inuit kita di Kanada dan Alaska dengan lebih ketara dalam masa terdekat."Walaupun Greenland memenangi pemerintahan sendiri pada tahun 1979, dengan Denmark terus menyelia isu-isu yang berkaitan dengan pertahanan dan dasar luar, parti Naleraq telah mendesak peralihan pantas kepada kemerdekaan sepenuhnya.Parti pembangkang utama telah berhujah bahawa ini boleh dicapai dengan meningkatkan peluang perniagaan sedia ada seperti industri perikanannya, serta dengan perkongsian dengan negara-negara seperti U.S., di mana ia akan membenarkan Washington untuk terus mengendalikan kepentingan ketenteraannya dari pulau itu sebagai pertukaran untuk jaminan keselamatan tanpa menjadi wilayah U.S..Walaupun masih belum jelas sama ada perjanjian sedemikian akan memenangi Trump, yang mungkin melihat negara Artik itu sebagai peluang yang belum diterokai untuk mineral nadir bumi dan rizab minyak dan gasnya – yang mana Greenland telah menghalang walaupun EU daripada mengakses.The White House tidak menjawab soalan Digital mengenai sama ada mengembangkan hubungan dengan Greenland akan menenangkan cita-cita Trump, walaupun pada hari Ahad Trump mengulangi kedudukannya di negara pulau itu."Seperti yang saya jelaskan semasa Ucapan Bersama saya kepada Kongres, Amerika Syarikat sangat menyokong hak rakyat Greenland untuk menentukan masa depan mereka sendiri," katanya di platform media sosialnya Truth Social. "Kami akan terus memastikan anda selamat, seperti yang telah kami lakukan sejak Perang Dunia II.""Kami bersedia untuk melabur berbilion dolar untuk mewujudkan pekerjaan baharu dan menjadikan anda kaya – Dan, jika anda memilih demikian, kami mengalu-alukan anda untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada Negara Terhebat di mana-mana sahaja di Dunia, Amerika Syarikat," tambahnya.Trump mendapat teguran di beberapa pihak berikutan ucapannya kepada Kongres, di mana nada beliau mengenai Greenland lebih lembut daripada kenyataan sebelumnya, tetapi beliau membuat kesimpulan dengan berkata, "Sama ada satu cara atau yang lain, kita akan mendapatkannya."Menurut tinjauan pendapat, kira-kira 85% rakyat Greenland menentang desakan Trump untuk menjadikan Greenland sebahagian daripada U.S., termasuk Perdana Menteri Mute Egede, yang bukan sahaja penyokong besar kemerdekaan daripada Denmark, tetapi juga sangat menentang minat Trump di Greenland.Parti Inuit Ataqatigiit Egede, yang kini memegang 11 kerusi, dijangka mendapat peningkatan berikutan pilihan raya hari Selasa.Egede, yang berulang kali memberitahu presiden U.S. bahawa Greenland "tidak untuk dijual," pada hari Isnin berkata ketidakbolehramalan Trump menyemai kekacauan antarabangsa."Perkara-perkara yang berlaku di dunia sekarang sangat membimbangkan saya," kata Egede kepada Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR). "Terdapat susunan dunia yang goyah di banyak bidang, dan mungkin seorang presiden di Amerika Syarikat yang sangat tidak dapat diramalkan dengan cara yang membuatkan orang berasa tidak selamat."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rubio kata perjanjian mineral ‘bukan topik utama dalam agenda’ dalam pertemuan Ukraine

March 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - Setiausaha Negara Marco Rubio memberitahu wartawan pada hari Isnin bahawa perjanjian mineral, yang diusahakan oleh Presiden , "bukan topik utama dalam agenda" untuk pertemuan yang ditetapkan dengan delegasi Ukraine di Arab Saudi pada hari Selasa."Saya tidak akan membuat pra-penilaian esok mengenai sama ada kita mempunyai ," katanya kepada wartawan di dalam pesawat ke Arab Saudi. "Ia adalah topik penting, tetapi ia bukan topik utama dalam agenda."Perjanjian mineral ada di atas meja yang terus diusahakan – ia bukan sebahagian daripada perbualan ini, secara langsung," katanya, sambil menyatakan bahawa pertemuan hari Selasa di Jeddah boleh dianggap berjaya walaupun tanpa mendapatkan perjanjian sedemikian."Ia sememangnya perjanjian yang Presiden mahu lihat selesai, tetapi ia tidak semestinya perlu berlaku esok," tambah Rubio. termasuk Andriy Yermak, ketua pejabat presiden, Andrii Sybiha, menteri hal ehwal luar negeri, Pavlo Palisa, kolonel angkatan tentera Ukraine dan penasihat kepada Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, serta Menteri Pertahanan Rustem Umerov, yang bukan sahaja terlibat dalam perbincangan awal dengan Rusia berikutan pencerobohannya pada Februari 2022, tetapi juga terselamat daripada serangan racun selepas pertemuan damai pada bulan Mac tahun itu.Rubio akan bertemu dengan delegasi di bandar Jeddah sekitar tengah hari waktu tempatan pada hari Selasa."Perkara penting dalam pertemuan ini adalah untuk menjelaskan niat mereka, keinginan mereka, seperti yang telah mereka katakan secara terbuka sekarang, berkali-kali, untuk mencapai titik di mana keamanan adalah mungkin," kata Rubio, sambil menambah bahawa beliau perlu diyakinkan bahawa Kyiv bersedia untuk membuat beberapa keputusan sukar, seperti yang dirampas oleh Rusia, untuk menamatkan perang tiga tahun itu."Kedua-dua pihak perlu mencapai persefahaman," katanya. "Rusia tidak boleh menakluki seluruh Ukraine, dan sudah tentu akan menjadi sangat sukar bagi Ukraine, dalam tempoh masa yang munasabah, untuk memaksa Rusia kembali sepenuhnya ke tempat mereka berada pada tahun 2014. Jadi satu-satunya penyelesaian kepada perang ini adalah diplomasi dan membawa mereka ke meja di mana itu mungkin. "Kemudian kita perlu menentukan sejauh mana mereka dari kedudukan Rusia, yang kita juga belum tahu. Dan kemudian sebaik sahaja anda memahami di mana kedua-dua pihak benar-benar berada, ia memberi anda gambaran tentang betapa besarnya jurang itu dan betapa sukarnya ia akan berlaku," jelas Rubio. "Saya berharap ia akan menjadi interaksi positif sepanjang garis itu."Steve Witkoff, utusan khas ke Timur Tengah yang semakin terlibat dengan perbincangan mengenai Ukraine dan Rusia, memberitahu ’ Dana Perino di "America’s Newsroom" pada pagi Isnin, bahawa pentadbiran Trump telah "melangkah jauh" untuk "mengecilkan perbezaan" ketika berurusan dengan Moscow dan untuk membawanya ke meja rundingan – walaupun beliau tidak memperincikan.Witkoff mencadangkan hubungan dengan Ukraine mula bertambah baik sekali lagi selepas Zelenskyy menghantar surat kepada Trump di mana beliau memohon maaf atas pertukaran di Pejabat Oval yang menjadi tegang lewat bulan lepas selepas beliau enggan menandatangani perjanjian mineral dan membangkitkan kemarahan pentadbiran Trump – mengakibatkan beberapa di TV secara langsung.Walaupun perjanjian mineral tidak mungkin dicapai minggu ini, menurut Rubio, beliau berkata beliau berharap dengan pertemuan yang berjaya di Jeddah, beliau boleh mendapatkan semula bantuan ke Ukraine, walaupun beliau tidak memperincikan sama ada ini akan termasuk bantuan pertahanan yang dihentikan oleh pentadbiran Trump, walaupun pengeboman berterusan Rusia terhadap sasaran Ukraine, atau yang turut dihentikan oleh AS berikutan pertikaian di Pejabat Oval."Penggantungan bantuan secara meluas adalah sesuatu yang saya harap dapat kita selesaikan," kata Rubio. "Saya fikir apa yang berlaku esok akan menjadi kunci kepada itu."Rubio juga berkata bahawa Rusia akan melihat akibatnya sendiri jika ia tidak bersetuju untuk berunding mengenai menamatkan perang di Ukraine, termasuk sekatan tambahan."Perlu jelas kepada semua orang bahawa Amerika Syarikat mempunyai alat yang tersedia untuk mengenakan kos ke atas pihak Rusia dalam persamaan ini," kata Rubio. "Tetapi kami berharap ia tidak sampai ke tahap itu."Apa yang kami harapkan ialah kedua-dua pihak menyedari bahawa ini bukanlah konflik yang boleh berakhir dengan cara ketenteraan," tambahnya.Pada hari Jumaat, dalam catatan di , Trump mengancam Rusia dengan "Sekatan Perbankan skala besar, Sekatan dan Tarif," sehingga gencatan senjata dan penyelesaian damai dicapai.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Korea Utara lancarkan peluru berpandu ketika AS, Korea Selatan memulakan latihan ketenteraan bersama pertama mereka bagi penggal ke-2 Trump

March 11, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - telah melancarkan beberapa peluru berpandu balistik ke laut pada hari Isnin, hanya beberapa jam selepas Korea Selatan dan Amerika Syarikat memulakan latihan ketenteraan bersama utama pertama mereka sejak penggal kedua Presiden Donald Trump. Ketua Staf Bersama Korea Selatan berkata pelancaran peluru berpandu itu dikesan dari Wilayah Hwanghae barat daya Korea Utara. Senjata itu digambarkan sebagai jarak dekat, dan sebagai tindak balas, tentera Korea Selatan berkata ia telah memperkukuhkan kedudukan pengawasan dan sedang berkoordinasi rapat dengan AS. "Kami sedar tentang pelancaran peluru berpandu balistik berganda DPRK dan sedang berunding rapat dengan Republik Korea dan Jepun, serta sekutu dan rakan serantau lain. Amerika Syarikat mengutuk tindakan ini dan menyeru DPRK untuk menahan diri daripada tindakan menyalahi undang-undang dan menggugat kestabilan selanjutnya," kata U.S. Indo-Pacific Command dalam satu kenyataan. "Walaupun kami telah menilai bahawa peristiwa ini tidak menimbulkan ancaman serta-merta kepada kakitangan AS, atau wilayah, atau kepada sekutu kami, kami terus memantau keadaan. Komitmen AS terhadap pertahanan ROK dan Jepun kekal teguh."Pelancaran itu berlaku selepas pasukan dan AS memulakan latihan Freedom Shield tahunan mereka pada hari Isnin. "Freedom Shield ialah latihan selama 11 hari yang dijalankan oleh Republik Korea dan Amerika Syarikat yang terdiri daripada latihan untuk mencerminkan Korea Theater of Operations – persekitaran operasi gabungan, bersama, berbilang domain dan antara agensi," menurut . "Acara latihan lapangan sepanjang FS25 termasuk operasi pertempuran bandar, operasi hospital lapangan, rawatan dan pemindahan mangsa besar-besaran, latihan artileri medan, latihan serangan udara, lintasan jurang basah, penempatan dan pengesahan aset artileri pertahanan udara, dan latihan serangan bersama dengan U.S. Marine Corps," tambah Tentera Darat. Walau bagaimanapun, Kementerian Luar Negeri Korea Utara menyifatkan latihan itu sebagai "latihan perang yang agresif dan konfrontasi." "Walaupun terdapat amaran berulang DPRK, AS dan Republik Korea berkeras untuk mengadakan latihan ketenteraan bersama berskala besar. Ini adalah tindakan provokatif berbahaya yang memacu situasi akut di semenanjung Korea, di mana satu laporan tembakan tidak sengaja boleh mencetuskan konflik fizikal antara kedua-dua pihak, melebihi had yang melampau," menurut satu kenyataan yang diterbitkan dalam media kerajaan Korea Utara. Latihan tahun ini diadakan selepas jet pejuang KF-16 Korea Selatan secara tidak sengaja menggugurkan bom di kawasan awam semasa latihan tembakan langsung dengan AS pada hari Khamis, mencederakan beberapa orang dan merosakkan beberapa bangunan, termasuk tiga rumah dan sebuah gereja Katolik. Media Korea Selatan melaporkan bahawa kemalangan itu berlaku di Pocheon, sebuah bandar berhampiran sempadan bersenjata berat dengan Korea Utara. Kira-kira 30 orang cedera, dua daripada mereka parah. Penilaian awal daripada tentera udara Korea Selatan ialah salah seorang juruterbang KF-16 memasukkan koordinat yang salah dan gagal untuk mengesahkan sasaran secara visual sebelum meneruskan pengeboman. Juruterbang kedua mempunyai koordinat yang betul tetapi hanya memberi tumpuan kepada mengekalkan formasi penerbangan dan menggugurkan bom atas arahan juruterbang pertama tanpa menyedari sasaran itu salah, menurut kandungan taklimat terkini yang diberikan kepada The Associated Press. Jen. Lee Youngsu, ketua staf tentera udara Korea Selatan, menunduk dan memohon maaf pada hari Isnin atas kecederaan dan kerosakan harta benda yang disebabkan oleh pengeboman itu, yang beliau katakan "sepatutnya tidak pernah berlaku dan tidak boleh berlaku lagi." ’ Bradford Betz dan Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals ACN Newswire

Salary Reality Gap: 52% of Malaysian Employees See Scope for Salary Growth, foundit Survey Reveals

March 11, 2025
Key findings from the survey: A majority of professionals (45%) expect a 0-10% growth in their next appraisal 52% of respondents believe their salary is below average compared to industry peers Only 32% of respondents are satisfied with their salary growth opportunities 36% of employees reported no major change in their salary over the past three years Skills in demand (31%) and economic trends (30%) are the primary drivers of current salary trends KUALA LUMPUR, Mar 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Malaysian employees and employers appear to be on different pages when it comes to compensation, according to new research. A comprehensive salary survey by foundit, a leading jobs platform, reveals that while many professionals see room for salary growth, organisations are focusing on strategic compensation planning to retain talent in a competitive job market. The research highlights evolving compensation trends in Malaysia, with a growing awareness among professionals about market benchmarks. More than half of the surveyed employees recognise the need for salary adjustments to align with industry standards, while nearly half anticipate modest single-digit salary growth in their upcoming reviews. These insights present valuable opportunities for organisations to enhance their talent strategies, ensuring competitive compensation structures that attract and retain top talent. With compensation playing a central role in both recruitment success and employee loyalty, these insights into workforce sentiment provide valuable intelligence for business planning. V Suresh, CEO of foundit, commented on the findings: "This research offers fascinating insights into Malaysia's compensation landscape, revealing both challenges and opportunities. The perception gap we've identified – where many employees believe their pay falls below industry standards – represents a critical area for employers to address. Malaysian businesses have a compelling opportunity to strengthen their position in the talent market through enhanced salary transparency and more effective communication about compensation. By helping professionals understand how their pay compares to true market rates and developing transparent frameworks for advancement, organisations can better align expectations with reality. This strategic approach benefits not just individual employees but strengthens organisational resilience and competitiveness. For Malaysia to continue its trajectory as a business hub in Southeast Asia, addressing these compensation perception gaps will be instrumental in attracting and retaining the best talent." Key findings from the survey include: Salary Perception Across Experience Levels More than half (52%) of employees believe they are underpaid compared to industry peers. 38% feel their salary is above average, while 10% are unsure how their pay compares to market rates. Executive-level professionals (15+ years of experience) have the highest salary awareness, with only 4.48% unaware of market benchmarks, compared to mid-career professionals who display greater uncertainty. Satisfaction with Salary Growth 30% of respondents are dissatisfied with their salary growth opportunities with majority in Engineering and Logistics sector. 38% remain neutral, indicating mixed perceptions about compensation structures. 32% express satisfaction, but satisfaction levels decline as professionals advance in their careers. IT (35.38%) leads in salary growth satisfaction. Expected Salary Growth from Appraisal 45% of professionals expect only a 0-10% salary hike in their next review. 28.7% anticipate a 6-10% increment, while 16.7% foresee just 0-5% growth. 19.5% of professionals aim for substantial increases exceeding 30%. Professionals with 4-6 years of experience are the most optimistic, with nearly 39% expecting 6-10% raises, while senior executives anticipate more conservative increases (0-5%). Salary Changes Over the Past Three Years 36% of professionals saw no salary growth, indicating wage stagnation. 30% experienced salary reductions (19% minor, 11% significant). 34% received salary hikes (18% modest, 16% substantial), highlighting industry-specific trends. Future Salary Expectations: Industry Outlook Employees in the Engineering & Construction sector expect predictable salary growth (36.36% anticipate 6-10% raises). BFSI professionals have the highest expectations, with more than 50% anticipating 30% above increments. Entry-level professionals remain the most optimistic, with 79% expecting salary growth, while expectations decline at senior levels (67% among executives). Key Drivers of Salary Trends Skills in Demand: 31.2% of professionals believe in-demand skills significantly impact salaries. Economic Trends: 30.5% see macroeconomic factors shaping pay scales. Sector-Specific Challenges: 18% cite industry constraints as key influencers. Technological Advancements: 12% recognise tech-driven disruptions affecting wages. For organisations navigating the complexities of talent acquisition and retention in today's competitive landscape, this research provides a valuable measuring stick for assessing current approaches and identifying areas for strategic improvement. By leveraging these insights to enhance both compensation structures and communication around pay, companies can create more appealing work environments that attract and retain top talent.

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers ACN Newswire

Hong Kong products highly rated by ASEAN e-shoppers

March 11, 2025
HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong businesses are well placed to make good on the government’s budget commitment to step up e-commerce trade with the ASEAN bloc, according to new research from the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). In particular, the findings show that the extension of the E-Commerce Easy initiative may be of huge benefit to Hong Kong’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).Titled ASEAN eCommerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products, the research shows that Hong Kong brands and products are already particularly valued in six key ASEAN markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – with every indication that this positive perception will lead to significant growth in future trade.Previewed today, the full report will be released on 19 March during a dedicated session at this year’s HKTDC MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse events at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.HK electronic, fashion, cosmetic products popular in ASEANAmong the key findings of the research is the high level of popularity Hong Kong brands and products enjoy among ASEAN-6 e-consumers. In fact, some 70% of online shoppers within the six-nation grouping indicated they had bought at least one Hong Kong-sourced product within the past 12 months.This preference was particularly pronounced among younger consumers, with the 18-29-year-old demographic indicating the highest regard for goods of Hong Kong origin.In terms of the factors behind the appeal of Hong Kong brands and products for ASEAN consumers, the research identified three primary reasons. Firstly – and most compellingly – some 35% of respondents perceived Hong Kong-sourced goods as less costly and better value for money than those from other sources.Secondly, a significant proportion of respondents (33%) stated that they particularly valued Hong Kong-sourced items for the way they seamlessly and successfully blended Asian and Western elements. A further 32% indicated that the stylish nature of the online inventory of Hong Kong-sourced items was the attribute they valued most highly.In terms of Hong Kong e-commerce categories with the highest level of appeal for ASEAN-6 purchasers, consumer electronic items topped the list, winning favour with 70% of respondents. Taking the number-two spot was Hong Kong-sourced fashion items (38%), while coming a close third was the city’s online range of cosmetic/personal care products (34%).Singaporean, Thai and Malaysian e-shoppers spend the mostThe survey also found e-shoppers from Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia spent the most per purchase on Hong Kong goods. Take Hong Kong-sourced consumer electronics as an example, Singapore e-shoppers on average spent US$371 per purchase, followed by those in Thailand (US$276).In terms of individual ASEAN markets, it was Thailand that showed the greatest partiality to Hong Kong e-commerce items, with 81% of the relevant survey respondents having purchased such an item within the past 12 months.In second place was Indonesia, with 73% of respondents having ordered a Hong Kong item online within the last year. Slightly below this, in third place, was the Philippines, with 69% of the country’s respondents having made a related purchase over the past 12 months.In terms of age demographics, respondents aged 30-49 had the highest average spending per purchase.Separately, an average of 76% of those 18-29 year-olds across all ASEAN-6 markets had purchased a Hong Kong-sourced item online within the past 12 months. Among the 30-49 segment, the corresponding figure fell marginally to 72%, before falling further – to 52% – for online shoppers aged 50 or above. Reassuringly, even in this older category, a slender majority still manifested a preference for buying from the city via an online channel.Commenting on the significance of the survey, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “It’s encouraging that the first study of its kind should show just how willing ASEAN consumers are to purchase Hong Kong brands and products via a variety of online channels. In line with our findings, Hong Kong SMEs should particularly bear in mind the high regard consumers in Thailand and Indonesia have for Hong Kong-sourced products.”Ms Fan added: “In terms of product categories, it’s clearly particularly good news for Hong Kong companies in the consumer electronics sector, an area that has long been one of the city’s key strengths.”Full report revealed at eTailingPulseThe HKTDC is organising the MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse conferences at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre next Wednesday, 19 March. The full ASEAN e-Commerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong Products report will be unveiled at an eTailingPulse panel discussion, where business leaders will share insights from their successful experiences in the ASEAN e-commerce market.The panel is among nearly 30 sessions at the two Pulse events, which bring together more than 65 global elites from diverse industry sectors, including influential marketing experts, economists, retail giants, brand strategists, advertising and PR professionals and e-commerce leaders.Themed Inspiring Possibilities, the events aim to turn visionary ideas into actionable strategies and spark cross-disciplinary collaboration. This year’s event will spotlight six key marketing topics: leveraging data and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive innovative marketing strategies; integrating art, music and culture into brand marketing to explore new frontiers; embracing neurodiversity to foster more inclusive marketing perspectives; opportunities in the ASEAN and halal markets; addressing the challenges and possibilities of global industry transformation in light of the rising trend of single-person households; and empowering the “she economy” through innovative AI solutions to enhance the market competitiveness of e-commerce platforms.Attendees will have the opportunity to explore forward-thinking market dynamics, emerging trends, innovative marketing strategies and compelling success stories.HKTDC support SMEs tapping into e-commerceThe HKTDC has been supporting SMEs to tap into the tremendous business opportunities brought by the rapidly developing e-commerce market. The HKTDC Design Gallery online store will extend to Singapore and Malaysia in 2025/26, followed by Thailand in a subsequent phase. Hong Kong suppliers will be able to sell their products to the ASEAN region through this online channel in the form of cross-border e-commerce. The range of products to be offered in the initial stage includes gifts, housewares, bags, baby/kids’ products and eco-friendly products.This year, the HKTDC is also launching a year-long programme called E-Commerce Express to address the pain points faced by local SMEs when developing cross-border e-commerce businesses in the mainland. The programme will involve the HKTDC, together with major e-commerce or social media platforms, arranging a series of thematic training seminars and research sharing sessions.Appendix- E-commerce Easy: The E-commerce Easy initiative was set up by the Hong Kong SAR Government in July 2024 to help fund local businesses as they seek to serve potential mainland clients via a range of e-commerce channels. In the 2024 Policy Address, the Government announced it would expand the scheme to cover ASEAN-10 markets within 2025, with Hong Kong companies looking to access the bloc via online sales platforms eligible for subsidies of up to HK$1 million.- Methodology: HKTDC Research conducted an online survey of 1,846 online shoppers in June and July 2024 covering the six ASEAN-6 markets of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Singapore. There were roughly 300 respondents from each country. Typically, respondents were aged 18 to 60, resided within selected major metropolitan areas, made online purchases at least once a month, and were mid- to high-annual income earners.ReferencesHKTDC Research website: https://research.hktdc.com/en/Photo download: https://bit.ly/41zMoAfHKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan previews key findings of a new report, ASEAN eCommerce opportunities: Insights on Consumer Behaviours and Positioning of Hong Kong ProductsMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication and Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgKaty WongTel: (852) 2584 4524Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.org About HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.
