SINGAPORE, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Summit Group, through its Singapore-based subsidiary Summit Power International Limited (SPIL), hosted an Iftar (breaking of fast) gathering for approximately 200 migrant workers, primarily from Bangladesh, during the holy month of Ramadan. The event took place on March 20 at a workers' dormitory in Space@Tuas, with another 200 meals provided for Muslim workers unable to attend in person.
Founder Chairman of Summit Group, Muhammed Aziz Khan, personally participated in the gathering, breaking fast alongside the workers. The event also featured the distribution of gifts to 1,400 workers and the presentation of handmade appreciation cards created by approximately 50 students from Big Heart Student Care Services at Zhangde Primary School and the German European School Singapore.
"Throughout the years, social responsibility remains a core principle of the Summit Group," said Muhammed Aziz Khan. "Bangladeshi nationals comprise a significant number of the migrant workers in Singapore. This year's Iftar that we sponsored in Singapore underscores our efforts to give back."
Khan, a Singaporean of Bangladeshi origin, was awarded the Public Service Medal (COVID-19) in October 2023 for his work supporting Bangladeshi workers isolated in dormitories during the pandemic.
This marks the first Singapore Iftar event sponsored by SPIL, which is the Singapore-headquartered parent company of Bangladesh's largest private-sector power generation company. Beyond this initiative, SPIL engages in various corporate social responsibility efforts in Bangladesh, including charity donations for neuro-divergent children, participation in UNICEF programs to assist school dropouts, and support for scientific research in nutrition and online education.
The event highlighted the importance of community engagement and recognition of migrant workers' contributions to Singapore's development. Teachers from the German European School Singapore expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to involve students in creating messages of gratitude for the workers, noting that the activity fostered creativity, teamwork, and compassion among participants.
"We are delighted to partner with the German European School Singapore for a meaningful initiative aimed at giving back to the community," said a representative from Big Heart Student Care. "This significant event not only instilled a deep sense of gratitude in the students but also helped foster new friendships and lasting memories."

NEW TAIPEI CITY, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apacer Technology Inc. (TWSE: 8271) today unveiled its latest lineup of storage solutions designed to be fully compatible with Raspberry Pi platforms. This new range, featuring industrial microSD cards, PCIe SSDs, and the innovative PT25R-Pi HAT SSD, is engineered to support enterprise users in adopting the Raspberry Pi platform as a reliable alternative for industrial PC (IPC) applications.
"The Raspberry Pi platform is reshaping how businesses build proprietary devices, showing immense potential particularly in the Japanese and European markets," said Gibson Chen, President of Apacer. "As the global trend towards AI continues to grow, more companies are seeking efficient ways to deploy Edge AI. We believe that by equipping the Raspberry Pi platform with industrial-grade storage, it becomes a formidable solution for these edge computing challenges."
Apacer's specialty SSDs are rigorously tested for compatibility with Raspberry Pi platforms, including the latest models supporting microSD card and PCIe interfaces. A highlight of this release is the PT25R-Pi HAT SSD, explicitly designed to be compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5. Apacer has redefined industrial storage by creating a true all-in-one storage solution.
The PT25R-Pi HAT SSD addresses space and deployment challenges in Edge AI and industrial Raspberry Pi applications by integrating the SSD directly into the HAT form factor. This all-in-one design eliminates the need for additional mounting components or separate storage devices, significantly reducing system footprint, assembly complexity, and overall hardware costs—making it an ideal solution for compact, space-constrained Edge AI systems. The PT25R-Pi HAT SSD features a QVL-certified, hassle-free bill of materials (BOM) to ensure consistent quality, minimize integration risks, and reduce RMA and procurement efforts for system integrators.
In addition, the PT25R-Pi HAT SSD supports Apacer's value-added technology, CoreSnapshot 2, enabling remote backup and recovery—an essential capability for managing distributed Raspberry Pi–based Edge AI devices in industrial environments. This feature allows rapid data restoration in the event of system failure, significantly lowering maintenance costs and improving system reliability. The series also supports one-touch backup and recovery via a dedicated hardware button, providing a simple, efficient, and reliable data protection mechanism for mission-critical Edge AI applications.
Looking ahead, this launch signifies Apacer's deepening commitment to the evolving landscape of Industrial storage solutions. "By providing professional-grade reliability for accessible platforms like Raspberry Pi, we are empowering developers to scale their Edge AI innovations from the lab to the industrial field with absolute confidence," concluded Chen. "This perfectly embodies our vision of 'Storage, Empowering AI Growth'—ensuring that the infrastructure for AI is as robust as the intelligence it supports."
