SafetySam Unveils WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 15 August 2025 - SafetySam, Singapore's provider of safety solutions and workwear, is proud to announce a new product launch—the WORKSafe Greta Safety Boot. Born from Craftsmanship, Built for the Field Known as 'Generally Resistant Enough To Anything', the Greta boot is a rugged innovation designed for industrial professionals who rely on their footwear every day. The new product launch demonstrates the blend of traditional leather craftsmanship with cutting-edge safety performance. After the success of its sneaker-style WORKSafe Starfire, SafetySam sought to create something more timeless. Inspired by classic leather boots and the designer's own appreciation for Goodyear-welted construction, Greta was developed to meet a clear gap in the Singapore market: a durable, stylish, and functional safety boot that doesn't compromise in wet or high-intensity work environments. 'Cemented and injection-moulded soles just don't cut it in our humid climate,' said Jeffrey Seah, General Manager at PDS International. 'We needed a boot that wouldn't split, would age well, and still meet the demands of modern workers.' What Sets Greta Apart Greta is certified to EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 and SS513:2005. It has been field-tested and endorsed by workers across construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, and logistics sectors. The new product launch introduces a range of features to deliver protection, performance, and durability. Goodyear-Welted Construction for water resistance and long-lasting durability (WR). Natural Latex Outsole with superior grip and hot contact resistance (HRO). Free Lacing System for quick on-and-off without sacrificing style. Metatarsal Impact Gel Guard (M) to shield the top of the foot. Penetration-Resistant Sole (PS) that's non-metallic yet highly protective. Antistatic Protection (A) to guard against electrostatic discharge. Energy Absorption Heel (E) and PU/PE insole for fatigue-free comfort over long shifts. HBR lining is a waterproof, breathable membrane that contributes to the overall shoe achieving S7S compliance. Who Is Greta For? The new product launch targets the following groups: Construction and Civil Engineering – where falling objects and heavy impacts are daily risks. Oil and Gas / Marine – where exposure to fluids, heat, and slippery surfaces is constant. Heavy Manufacturing – where hot metals, debris, and rough terrain challenge every step. Logistics and Warehousing – where long hours on concrete demand both comfort and support. The Story Behind the Boot: Greta and the Wild West As with all great WORKSafe products, Greta is brought to life through SafetySam's original comic series. This time, Sam is thrust into a Wild West multiverse—a tribute to the rugged origins of leather boots. There, he combines old-world techniques with modern safety innovations, mirroring the real-world development process behind Greta. 'The Wild West aesthetic captures the spirit of Greta—gritty, independent, and ready for anything,' as revealed by Crystal Heng, Marketing Manager at PDS International. 'It's a fun, narrative-driven way to express the soul of the product.' The comic not only reflects the journey of a boot but also conveys a belief: workwear can be both legendary and practical. Authentic Launch, Real Connections The product launch is in line with SafetySam's long-standing community—those who've supported the brand's evolution from the ground up. The campaign now expands across digital platforms, social media, and storytelling content designed to resonate with both seasoned tradespeople and a new generation of users. Notably, SafetySam is actively exploring partnerships. It is seeking content creators, industrial influencers, and distributors who share the same appreciation for quality craftsmanship and purpose-driven gear.

SoftBank's PayPay applies for U.S. listing
TOKYO - SoftBank said on Friday that payments app operator PayPay Corp has applied to list American depositary shares in the United States. The exact schedule, size and price for the public listing have yet to be determined, SoftBank said in a statement. Reuters reported this week that SoftBank had selected banks for a potential initial public offering in the U.S. The offering may raise more than $2 billion from investors and could take place as soon as the final quarter of this year, Reuters reported. PayPay will continue to be a SoftBank subsidiary following the listing, the conglomerate said. Reuters reported in 2023 that SoftBank was considering a U.S. listing for the business. PayPay has helped spur Japanese consumers to embrace digital payments and offers services such as banking and credit cards.

Qatar lowers October term price for al-Shaheen oil, sources say
SINGAPORE - QatarEnergy has lowered the term price for al-Shaheen crude oil loading in October, setting it at $2.52 a barrel above Dubai quotes, sources said on Friday. That marked a decline of 81 cents from the $3.33 a barrel for September-loading oil, a five-month high. The price cut followed a decline in spot premiums for Middle East crude so far this month, weighed down by rising supply as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, known as OPEC+, maintained their output hike policy to regain market shares. Qatar sold al-Shaheen oil to CNOOC, OQ and Idemitsu Kosan at a premium of around $2.30-2.55 per barrel above Dubai prices, the sources said. Separately, Qatar awarded a Qatar Marine crude cargo at a premium of about $1.70 a barrel to PTT, and a Qatar Land cargo to OQ at a premium at $2.05 per barrel, according to the sources. The companies typically do not comment on commercial deals. All the cargoes are 500,000 barrels each.
