In a filing on Tuesday (5 May), AMTD, a Hong Kong-headquartered financial services company that debuted on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) in early April, stated that it has formed a long-term strategic partnership with SGX to boost the development of Singapore’s capital markets.
To address a growing need for better capital market access to the country and elsewhere, as well as strengthen connectivity between Singapore, the Middle East, the rest of China, ASEAN, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, AMTD will join hands with the bourse operator.
A multi-dimensional, cross-sector ecosystem called SpiderNet has been built by AMTD International parent, AMTD Group. The ecosystem will connect and promote partnership between its partners, such as industry associations, academic institutions, government bodies, clients, and shareholders.
Both organisations’ corporate clients and partners would be supported in their capital-raising efforts, from the private financing phase to connecting with international expansion and public markets, as stated by AMTD Group.
Utilising distributed ledger technology, both organisations will also jointly explore the issuance and servicing of fixed income securities in the country, alongside the wider utilisation of blockchain in trade finance, international payments and settlements, as well as capital markets.
Several initiatives for entrepreneurs, startups, and businesses have also been announced by AMTD Group in its filing. These initiatives will provide opportunities for efficient market access and fundraising.
To establish the AMTD Global FinTech Fellowship Programme in the country, AMTD Group has worked together with Singapore FinTech Association. This allows for local entrepreneurs to connect with the country’s capital markets while also bolstering their competitiveness in the long run.
AMTD Digital will utilise its expertise in data analytics to look into the vast existing data in SpiderNet and provide guidance to assist corporations in using relevant data. AMTD Digital is the group’s digital arm that is headquartered in Singapore.
With SGX as a supporting and knowledge partner, AMTD Group also announced plans to start an Abu Dhabi AMTD Investment Bank Academy, which will help connect Abu Dhabi with other global capital markets, including Singapore.
On Tuesday (5 May) at 9.20am, shares of dual-listed AMTD International were trading flat on the SGX.

教授斥“外国势力挑拨港民反送中”论述

香港连日发生抗议示威活动,香港科技大学领导力和公共政策学高级讲师刘浩典教授 周三(12日)在脸书上措辞强烈,发文驳斥“外国人或外国势力挑拨反送中示威者”的论述。 文中,刘教授表示,若示威者没有坚定的信念,不会有人想要在如此不舒服的天气下上街示威。他直指,香港人并不是单纯或愚蠢的,他们不会仅仅因为美国或其他外国势力的鼓动,就盲目展开示威行动。 他也说,有些人会认为美国或西方势力一直在灌输香港他们所相信自由派的意识形态、媒介与文化环境,导致港民本能地怀疑中国,无法对中国产生信心,导致香港发动激烈的抗争。 但他认为,正是因为如此,更显得中国或中国政府的政治立场无法吸引香港人。他说,“比起中国政府所坚持的政治立场,为何在一个以华人社会为主的国家更能接受美国(或一般西方国家)的政治文化与立场?这已显示他们的立场并不足以吸引港人的认同。” 刘教授提及,“显然,问题并不在想象中的“外国势力”,而是在你(指中国)和你们的独裁制度,会增加港人恐惧,忧心这样的制度会被强加在自己身上。” 他最后也斥责,中方称示威行动全因港人受到西方政治宣传影响的想法,是属于偏激掌权者的阴谋论。 “而这样也显示民族主义强烈的中国方,其根深蒂固的不安全感,以及遇到问题时,本能倾向“只要不谨遵中国方式,都倾向责怪西方”,寻找代罪羔羊或妖魔化西方势力。” 原文如下:

累计治愈出院病例124例 武汉首批三医护人员出院

中国医护人员投入大量人力,抵抗新型冠状病毒,此前也造成至少15名当地前线医护人员感染。近日内传出有治愈出院的医护人员病例。 根据中国卫生应急办公室本月30日凌晨发布的数据,新增治愈出院病例21例,累计治愈出院病例124例。 《新华社》报道,在临床症状得到有效控制,经专家组讨论,三名首批在华中科技大学协和医院进行治疗的医护人员,已符合出院标准,1人于27日晚间自行出院,而另两人则于28日早上11点出院,这3人均是武汉市卫健委通报的确诊感染新型冠状病毒肺炎的医护人员。 除了协和医院医护人员陆续被治愈,武汉其他多家医院也相继传来好消息,其中包括武汉大学中南医院急诊病房的郭姓护士,于家中进行隔离并每日接受相关治疗,让病情慢慢好转。 本月月28日,武汉市肺科医院五名新型冠状病毒患者经治疗康复出院。 87岁高龄病例好转 最年长患者为一名87岁老妇,入院时身体虚弱,完全无法进食,体温摄氏38度。经治疗及精心护理,连续两次核酸检测阴性,CT显示病兆明显好转。 新华社指出,专家透露目前已治愈出院的新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎患者仍需进一步接受医学观察。他们认为,治愈出院的案例数量将会很快增加,很多出院患者是轻症的,有肺炎,但是没有低氧血症。未来需要高度关注危重症患者,他们常常合并基础病、慢性病,死亡率相对高一些。 除了上述出院病例,也有在中国各地陆续传出治愈出院病例。据上海市人民政府办公厅官方微信消息,上海市首例新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎病例陈某,长期居住在武汉市,于1月10日当地出现发热发力;1月15日晚间就诊于上海市医院后即被隔离,并确认患有新型冠状性病毒。 经市级专家组科学指导,医护人员精心诊治和护理,病情逐步改善,在体温连续6天正常,呼吸道症状明显好转。随后,经上海市专家组评估,符合国家卫生健康委最新的新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎确诊病例解除隔离和出院标准,已于上周五(24日)治愈出院。
