KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 (Bernama) — NanoMalaysia Berhad (NanoMalaysia Berhad and Snap Technology & Solutions Sdn Bhd (Snaptec) today announced the launching of new models of Aurra intelligent water purifiers, namely “Aurra Pro 2” and “Aurra Plus 2” through joint investment under the former’s Venture Builder programme.
Snaptec’s new cold-water module uses the Peltier effect, which emits or absorbs heat when electric current flows through certain semiconductor materials for both cooling and heating systems. This is in contrast to the majority of the water purifiers available in the market today, which rely on compressors that consume a lot of energy, or semi-tankless technology that still relies on compressors. Snaptec’s innovative technology saves power compared to compressor-based water purifiers, which still consume electricity even when unused.
Peltier technology presents several advantages compared to compressor technology. It is small, lightweight, quiet, and free of vibrations. Moreover, it requires little maintenance and is eco-friendly as it does not release harmful gases. Serdang Paste Tech Sdn Bhd, also NanoMalaysia’s Venture Builder partner, in a previous project, has developed Carbon Nanotube (CNT) based thermal paste with thermal conductivity of up to 0.130 Watts per meter-Kelvin (W/mK) to enhance the Peltier effect’s heat transfer efficiency for Snaptec’s water system. Additionally, Snaptec developed a dedicated software and control printed circuit board (PCB) to manage the improved Peltier technology effectively.
These water purifiers and dispensers feature tankless hot water and a compact 1-litre tank for cold water. The innovative integration of Peltier technology, combined with CNT thermal paste, effectively reduces the water temperature by approximately 12-15°C from ambient temperature (~27°C) while maintaining a high flow rate of 500-550 millilitres per minute. This advanced technology provides approximately 40-50% energy savings, making Snaptec’s water purifiers more efficient and cost-effective for consumers.
The “Aurra Pro 2” water purifier is a smart device with an interactive 7-inch Android touchscreen. It can be connected to smartphones, allowing hydration tracking, easy billing, and access to the Snaptec Care Control system. This innovative feature aligns with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) by integrating Internet of Things (IoT) functions with nanotechnology, making the water purifier more advanced and desirable in both local and international markets.
NanoMalaysia Berhad Chief Executive Officer Dr Rezal Khairi Ahmad said: “The successful deployment of the improved efficiency water purifier and dispenser is an excellent example of NanoMalaysia’s unique Venture Builder investment model that connects two projects to activate a value chain for effective commercialisation of local innovations. Snaptec’s products use thermally conductive paste produced by Serdang Paste. Significantly, our collaboration with Snaptec ensures the availability and sustainable management of clean water and sanitation for all while providing energy savings and reduced costs in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.”
Snaptec Founder Neal Wong said: “According to the World Health Organization (WHO), women should drink an average of 2.2 litres of water per day, while men are suggested to drink an average of 2.9 litres per day. Snaptec has a social responsibility to provide clean and healthy water for society. Using the Aurra Water Purifier, our mobile app includes a water tracking function to ensure we drink enough water daily, promoting a healthy lifestyle.”
The water purifiers are targeted towards households that have members with specific needs, such as infants, young children, elderly people, pregnant women, athletes, and those with compromised immune systems. They are also ideal for individuals residing in areas with hard water, high fluoride levels, or poor water quality. Additionally, people who want to improve the taste of their water can also benefit from these water purifiers.

AM BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF TUGU INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED
HONG KONG, April 14 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb-” (Good) of Tugu Insurance Company Limited (TIC) (Hong Kong). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (rating) is stable.
The ratings reflect TIC’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strong, as well as its marginal operating performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management (ERM).
TIC’s strong balance sheet assessment is supported by its risk-adjusted capitalisation assessed at the strongest level, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The company’s capital and surplus has been volatile over the past five years, due to the combined effect of unsteady operating results and revaluation gains or losses arising from its concentrated investment properties.
AM Best views TIC’s operating performance as marginal. The company has reported solid premium growth since 2021; nonetheless, it continued to record an elevated level of expense ratio due to its small premium base. The company’s underwriting results have been unstable over the past few years, experiencing large losses from its commercial lines of business including goods in transit and property damage, and significant reserve release from employees’ compensation. TIC’s investment return has been relatively stable, supported by a stream of rental income from its investment properties, coupled with dividends from listed bonds and common shares, as well as interest income from cash and deposits. Annual revaluation of investment properties, on the other hand, adds uncertainty to TIC’s net profits or losses. AM Best expect TIC’s overall profitability to remain thin over the short to medium term.
AM Best assesses TIC’s business profile as limited. The company remains a small player in Hong Kong’s highly competitive and fragmented general insurance market. TIC has downsized or suspended some unprofitable lines significantly over the past few years, including construction employees’ compensation. Whereas the company still obtains a large portion of its gross written premium related to the oil and gas business of its parent company, PT Pertamina (Persero), TIC also is actively growing other lines including goods in transit, other non-parent overseas business, and domestic Hong Kong business.
AM Best view TIC’s ERM as marginal. Underwriting, strategic planning and reserving activities have historically been areas in which the company’s risk management capabilities do not match its profile. Another offsetting factor is the company’s high asset concentration risk in investment properties. To address these concerns, TIC continues to evolve its risk management framework. It has refined its risk appetite statements and risk policies, performed stress and scenario testing, and projected its capital position under the upcoming local risk-based regulatory solvency requirements with the assistance of external consultants. Nonetheless, AM Best expects more time required for TIC to translate these actions into positive business results.
Positive rating actions could occur if TIC demonstrates sustained enhancement of its ERM and achieves consistent improvement of its underwriting results. Negative rating actions could occur if there is a material deterioration in the company’s risk-adjusted capitalisation, for example, severe adverse reserve movements or significant decline in the market value of its investment properties.
Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page.

EURORA与JOOM LOGISTICS携手合作，以简化与欧洲的跨境贸易
新加坡, April 11 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Eurora Solutions（Eurora）是配备AI/ML（人工智能/机器学习）技术且拥有领先地位的跨境贸易合规平台，日前已与Joom Logistics（Joom）达成合作。Joom是一家第三方物流（3PL）服务提供商，为希望从日本、香港、韩国、中国大陆、土耳其和其他地区与欧洲进行贸易的公司提供服务。 通过此次合作，Joom得以利用Eurora的先进技术来简化清关流程并提高跨境贸易效率。
Joom与各界客户合作，包括通过Shopify或Shoplazza等平台在跨境市场和电商网站进行销售的商家，每月投递500多万件包裹。
Joom Logistics的首席执行官Dmitry Chernyshov表示：“跨境配送的关键问题之一是清关。 对于来自日本、香港、中国大陆、韩国和其他地区的客户，我们力求让这个过程变得简单顺畅，就像他们在自己国内运送包裹一样。 与Eurora合作有助于我们更快地找到HS*编码，从而降低运营成本，并提高整体物流绩效。”
为跨境货运分配正确的HS编码可能极具挑战性，尤其是对于销售产品种类繁多的公司而言。 如果编码分配有误，可能会导致关税及税款金额出错，也可能导致官方机构罚款并造成延误。 这成为一些商家在国际上扩展业务的障碍。 Eurora与Joom的合作将通过利用AI和ML实现HS编码的自动分配来助力应对这一挑战，从而确保合规的跨境贸易以准确高效的方式顺利进行。
Eurora的创始人Marko Lastik补充说：“能够与Joom Logistics合作并为其客户提供符合海关要求和进口条例的简化解决方案，这令我们十分自豪。 我们不断努力扩大业务范围，并将我们的技术带给全球更多电商商家，此次合作正体现了这一点。”
