    Sunway Medical Centre Maintains Its Position as Malaysia’s Leading Paediatrics Provider for Third Consecutive Year in Latest Newsweek APAC Rankings

    Sunway Medical Centre Retains Malaysia’s Top Spot in Paediatrics for Third Consecutive Year in Newsweek’s APAC Rankings. Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC), Malaysia’s largest private quaternary hospital, has once again secured the nation’s top ranking in Paediatrics for the third consecutive year, according to the prestigious Newsweek Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific (APAC) 2025 rankings. Additionally, SMC has earned a spot among the top 30 hospitals in the Asia Pacific region for Paediatrics and has also ranked in the top 75 hospitals for six other key specialties—Neurology, Neurosurgery, Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Oncology, and Orthopaedics.

    Dato’ Lau Beng Long, President of Sunway Healthcare Group, expressed pride in the hospital’s continued recognition for clinical excellence, particularly in paediatric care. He highlighted the hospital’s Children’s Health and Development Centre, which hosts the most extensive range of paediatric subspecialties in Malaysia—offering 26 subspecialties supported by 50 experienced consultants. A notable milestone is SMC’s launch of Malaysia’s first private hospital 24-hour standalone Children’s Emergency Department, designed as a dedicated, comforting space for children, separate from the adult emergency unit.

    Further cementing its leadership in specialised care, SMC is also known for its advanced paediatric services in areas such as haematology, gastroenterology, oncology, and transplant medicine. It was the first private hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform a paediatric kidney transplant, reinforcing its pioneering role in complex treatments. Dato’ Lau also noted that SMC continues to strengthen its adult specialties, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, and orthopaedic surgery.

    Dr. Seow Vei Ken, Chief Executive Officer of Sunway Medical Centre, said the recognition underscores the hospital’s commitment to clinical excellence and patient-focused care, especially in paediatrics. He highlighted the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) as a key component of SMC’s paediatric ecosystem, featuring 17 fully equipped beds, 24/7 care by three paediatric intensivists, and a team of highly trained nurses to manage complex cases across various medical and surgical needs.

    As the flagship hospital of the Sunway Healthcare Group, SMC is home to over 300 resident medical consultants across 60 medical specialties and 28 Centres of Excellence. With the upcoming completion of its sixth building, Tower F (Children’s Pavilion), SMC will expand its capacity to more than 1,100 beds—further reinforcing its role as a leading healthcare provider in the region.

    This latest achievement adds to SMC’s growing list of accolades, including its recent recognition as Malaysia’s top hospital and one of the world’s top 250 hospitals in the World’s Best Hospitals 2025 ranking by Newsweek. It also claimed the Hospital of the Year (Malaysia) title at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2025—an honour it has received for four consecutive years.

    These consistent recognitions solidify Sunway Medical Centre’s status as a regional healthcare leader, driven by a mission to deliver world-class, compassionate care across all stages of life.

  • SAP Transforms the Future of Work With Intelligent Business AI

    SAP Unveils Game-Changing Business AI Innovations at SAP Sapphire 2025. At its annual SAP Sapphire conference, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) introduced a suite of groundbreaking innovations and strategic partnerships designed to embed Business AI across every facet of enterprise operations. Central to this announcement was the expanded deployment of Joule, SAP’s generative AI assistant, now integrated more deeply across systems to deliver real-time, personalized insights and enhance productivity by up to 30%. With this move, SAP aims to revolutionize how work gets done—ushering in a new era of AI-powered enterprise efficiency.

    SAP CEO Christian Klein emphasized the strategic vision behind the launch, stating, “SAP combines the world’s most powerful suite of business applications with uniquely rich data and the latest AI innovations to create a flywheel of customer value.” From predictive analytics to AI-assisted workflows, SAP’s updated tools are designed to support businesses through today’s complex and unpredictable landscape.

    Joule now goes beyond the boundaries of SAP’s application suite. Through a collaboration with WalkMe, Joule’s new action bar proactively learns from user behavior, providing anticipatory support across various systems. Another significant enhancement comes from SAP’s partnership with Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine, which enables Joule to respond to complex business queries using structured, visualized data—bridging real-time insights with real-world events and business KPIs.

    SAP also introduced an expanded network of Joule Agents, autonomous AI systems that operate across lines of business—from customer experience and supply chain to finance and HR. These agents can adapt, act, and automate core business processes, helping enterprises remain agile in a fast-moving world. These agents are built on SAP’s massive real-time data infrastructure and connect with external partners to execute full end-to-end operations autonomously.

    Additionally, SAP revealed AI Foundation, a comprehensive operating system for AI development. This new platform provides developers with a unified entry point to build, extend, and deploy custom AI solutions. A collaborative tool created with frontier AI lab Not Diamond, the prompt optimizer, accelerates the creation of high-performing AI prompts—dramatically cutting development time.

    Data plays a key role in SAP’s AI vision. The company’s Business Data Cloud now features new intelligent applications tailored for individual business functions. These applications leverage machine learning to simulate outcomes, anticipate needs, and offer actionable insights in real time. For example, the People Intelligence app transforms workforce data into AI-generated recommendations to improve team performance and skill allocation.

    Further strengthening SAP’s enterprise data capabilities is its strategic partnership with Palantir, enabling seamless integration between Palantir’s platforms and SAP Business Data Cloud. This alliance is expected to support major modernization initiatives, including those for the U.S. government, by providing a unified data foundation that enables faster decision-making and improved operational agility.

    SAP also introduced SAP Business Suite packages, designed to simplify cloud adoption by bundling SAP Build and other tools tailored to address specific business needs. A newly launched AI-driven solution aids businesses in cloud migration, offering personalized guidance through Joule, SAP Signavio, and SAP LeanIX. This solution can reduce transition timelines by up to 35%.

    With these bold moves, SAP is not only transforming how enterprises adopt and deploy AI but is also positioning itself as a leader in democratizing access to intelligent technologies. As Business AI becomes the new standard for digital transformation, SAP is ensuring that enterprises are equipped to thrive—no matter how complex their future may be.
