Sarawak approves effort to boost bilingual proficiency
KUCHING: The Sarawak Government will begin implementing a standardised assessment for the Dual Language Programme (DLP) based on international standards of Cambridge University Press and Assessment (CUP&A) for Year Six students in October. Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg announced that the Education Ministry has granted approval for the Sarawak education, innovation and talent development ministry (MEITD) to collaborate with Cambridge University to roll out the initiative. 'This DLP programme will be reviewed and validated by Cambridge University Press and Assessment to ensure its implementation aligns with international standards,' he said in a statement issued by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit yesterday. The announcement follows the signing of a service contract between CUP&A and Swinburne Innovation Malaysia (SWIM) in Cambridge on Wednesday. The event was part of the premier's working visit to the United Kingdom, which began on Tuesday. Jane Mann, managing director of Partnerships for Education at CUP&A, represented the Cambridge side, while SWIM was represented by its chief executive officer George Ngui, Bernama reported. According to Abang Johari, the programme would follow the national curriculum utilising Bahasa Malaysia as the primary medium, while English would serve as the secondary medium for assessment based on Cambridge's international syllabus. Swinburne University, a strategic partner in the initiative, would work alongside Cambridge to implement the assessments in Sarawak. 'This initiative aims to produce students proficient in both languages, thereby equipping them to pursue higher education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics,' he added. The premier also noted that MEITD is collaborating with Cambridge University to develop a range of high-quality bilingual programmes and scholarship opportunities to allow Sarawakian students to pursue studies in emerging strategic economic sectors. He added that both parties had agreed to facilitate the placement of qualified Sarawakian students from international school systems in world-renowned institutions, including the University of Cambridge, Oxford and the London School of Economics in the United Kingdom, as well as Harvard University in the United States. 'Sarawak is targeting a special quota of 10 placements for outstanding students in selected fields,' Abang Johari added.

Voxtur Announces Financial Results for the Q1 2025 – Ended March 31, 2025
TORONTO and TAMPA, Fla., May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Voxtur Analytics Corp. (TSXV: VXTR; OTCQB: VXTRF) ('Voxtur' or the 'Company'), a North American technology company creating a more transparent and accessible real estate lending ecosystem, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company's Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are available at and at . Financial Results: 1 Calculations include only the results from continuing operations and do not include results of discontinued operations. As at March 31, 2025, management was committed to a plan to sell one of the Company's business units. Accordingly, the Company has presented that business unit as a disposal group held for sale and reported its results as discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2025, revenue from continuing operations declined approximately $3.6 million and gross profit declined approximately $3 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Despite this, the Company's net loss from continuing operations remained relatively stable, underscoring the meaningful impact of realizing synergies across the organization and cost reduction measures implemented by management over the past several quarters. Operational expense reductions initiated earlier this year began to positively impact the quarter, though the full benefit of these initiatives will be more fully realized in the second quarter and throughout the remainder of 2025. Further discussion with respect to the financial results can be found in the Company's MD&A available at and at . Management continues to work in close partnership with the Company's advisor and in conjunction with the Company's creditor as part of the strategic review announced earlier this year. The primary objective of this process is to reduce debt and position the Company for long-term financial stability and strength. 'We sincerely appreciate the continued support and patience of all our stakeholders as we navigate this important phase of our journey,' said Ryan Marshall, Voxtur's CEO. 'While we are not yet where we want to be, we are making steady progress, and our focus remains on building a more sustainable and resilient organization.' The Company intends to host a shareholder call in the near future upon having material updates on the strategic review process and outline the path forward for the business, including other key corporate developments.

MineHub Reports Fiscal 2025 Annual Financial Results
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ('MineHub' or the 'Company'), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, is pleased to announce it has filed its audited annual consolidated financial statements (the 'Annual Financial Statements') and management's discussion and analysis (the 'MD&A') for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. Copies of the Annual Financial Statements and MD&A are available on the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at Fiscal 2025 was a year of strategic execution that built on the vision MineHub outlined at the start of the year. Despite macroeconomic pressures extending sales cycles, the Company maintained rigorous focus on recurring SaaS revenue, which grew 17% year-over-year, while laying groundwork for scalable, sustainable growth. Key highlights for the fiscal year include: As industries face mounting regulatory and efficiency demands, MineHub is leveraging partnerships in Asia with key players including CargoGo and Sumitomo Corporation and strategic collaborations to accelerate adoption of its solutions. These efforts, combined with scalable product innovations, position the Company to sustainably grow recurring revenue in fiscal 2026. Chief Executive Officer Andrea Aranguren commented, 'Fiscal 2025 was a pivotal year for MineHub as we successfully executed our strategy to transition towards recurring SaaS revenue, resulting in a 17% year-over-year increase in the segment. Our growth in GMV, continued platform enhancements, and the closure of the Abaxx partnership reinforce our momentum and confidence to deliver long-term value. By prioritizing customer-driven innovation, operational discipline, and strategic focus, MineHub is building a resilient foundation for sustainable growth in volatile markets.' Accelerating Customer Activity Accelerating customer activity is increasing cumulative GMV transacted on the MineHub platform. MineHub achieved GMV of US$14.7 billion of commodities transacted on its platform in the year ended January 31, 2025, compared to US$12.2 billion in the year ended January 31, 2024. Fourth Quarter Business Highlights (November 1, 2024 - January 31, 2025) Outlook for Fiscal 2026 Building on fiscal 2025's strategic groundwork, MineHub is well-positioned to accelerate growth through a phased execution plan that balances immediate priorities with long-term market expansion: Core Market Execution: Adjacent Market Penetration: Strategic Collaboration: New Market Testing: Long-Term Growth Levers: Results of Operations [This table cannot be displayed. Please visit the source.] Annual Financial Highlights MineHub recorded revenue of $2.0 million in fiscal 2025, holding steady compared to the prior year. However, the composition of revenue shifted as the Company focused on growing stable, recurring SaaS revenue instead of pursuing non-recurring and highly variable professional services contracts. As a result, SaaS revenue increased by $240,374, representing a 17% increase compared to fiscal 2024, and this growth in SaaS revenue more than offset a decrease in professional services revenue. Net loss for fiscal 2025 was $6.2 million, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million in the prior year. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to operating expense reductions, partially offset by non-recurring other income in the prior year. Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights MineHub's fourth quarter fiscal 2025 revenue was $386,391. This represents a decrease of $255,091 compared to the prior year, as the Company has successfully transitioned to a recurring SaaS subscription revenue model rather than pursuing one-off professional services fee arrangements that occurred in fiscal 2024. MineHub recorded a net loss of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $1.2 million in the same period last year. This $309,561 increase in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in professional services revenue, partially offset by changes in other income and expenses. Webinar Details The Company will also host an investor webinar to discuss its annual financial results on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 9:00 am PT (12:00 pm ET). The webinar will be hosted by Andrea Aranguren, Chief Executive Officer, and Monika Russell, Chief Financial Officer, who will provide a corporate update, review the annual financial results, and discuss the company's outlook; followed by a question and answer session.

Further to its press release dated May 12, 2025 (the " Announcement"), its principal regulator, the Ontario Securities Commission, granted the MCTO on May 9, 2025. As previously announced, the Company applied for the MCTO due to a delay in the filing of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the related management's discussion and analysis and the management certifications of annual filings (collectively, the " Required Documents"), which were due on April 30, 2025.

(" Pillar"), and certain individuals who are or have been directors or officers of FMIC, W.A. Robinson and Pillar from all trading in securities of the Company until such time as the Required Documents have been filed by the Company and the MCTO has been lifted. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. As previously disclosed, the delay in filing the Required Documents is due to delays experienced by the Company's external auditors, MNP LLP, in completing the audit of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is continuing to work diligently with its external auditors to complete the audit and currently expects to file the Required Documents by June 30, 2025.

Until the Required Documents are filed, the Company intends to comply with the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as set out in National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders (" NP 12-203") for as long as it remains in default, including the issuance of bi-weekly default status reports in the form of a news release.
