Halal in practice: Singapore’s halal push is getting more complex—and more business-critical—with new certified formats like a fully halal food hall, while approvals lag (only 75% of applications approved in 2025) and certification can mean recipe changes, audits, and heavy paperwork. Digital connectivity: China Telecom has completed the Asia Link Cable landing in Hong Kong, a 6,200km system linking China, Singapore, the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia—another step toward higher-capacity regional internet. Food security funding: The Philippines launched a $1B World Bank-backed farm modernization program, using results-linked disbursements to drive rice output, stronger value chains, and climate resilience. Energy pressure in the region: Australia’s fuel strain deepened as Middle East-linked supply risks keep diesel tight, while airlines in Hong Kong cut or adjust fuel surcharges amid volatile jet fuel prices. Brunei angle: Brunei is named in the cable route and appears in regional energy cooperation—plus it’s set to join Saudi’s Makkah-Route Hajj pre-clearance for 2026.
