Independent industry recognition highlights YY Circle's technology-driven operational scale amidst region-wide hospitality labor constraints

SINGAPORE, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) ("YY Group" or the "Company"), an AI-native workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced that its Malaysian subsidiary, YY Circle Malaysia, has won the prestigious Solutions Excellence Award for Best Work Marketplace & Integrated Technology Solution in F&B at the 2026 Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards (HAPA). The award was presented on April 28, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur Midtown.

Founded in 2002, the HAPA Awards are among Asia's most rigorously audited hospitality honors, utilizing an independent "Mystery Judge" system with incognito on-site operational assessments. This year's recognition strongly validates the enterprise adoption and structural advantages of the YY Circle platform across Malaysia's premier restaurant chains, luxury hotels, and enterprise catering operators.

By integrating automated workforce verification, intelligent attendance assurance, and data-driven scheduling capabilities, YY Circle provides a high-efficiency alternative to legacy staffing models. The marketplace actively enables hospitality operators to optimize labor costs, eliminate scheduling friction, and mitigate the systemic labor shortages impacting the broader Southeast Asian service economy.

"This independent recognition from HAPA underscores the operational maturity and commercial value of our technology infrastructure," said Ken Teng, Director of Southeast Asia for YY Group. "YY Circle has evolved into a critical operational playbook component for premier F&B and hospitality brands throughout Malaysia. By solving systemic enterprise pain points such as automated identity verification and real-time, same-day staffing matching at scale, we are not only expanding our regional market share but also driving the high-margin platform utilization that underpins our path to long-term profitability."

The award follows YY Group's continued expansion of its regional tech footprint, leveraging its network of over 500,000 service professionals across 12 countries to systematically embed advanced automation, predictive deployment analytics, and physical AI capabilities across its workforce marketplace and integrated facility management business lines.

YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) Wins Prestigious HAPA Solutions Excellence Award, Validating Enterprise AI Marketplace Adoption in Southeast Asia

YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) Wins Prestigious HAPA Solutions Excellence Award, Validating Enterprise AI Marketplace Adoption in Southeast Asia

MONROE, N.J. and RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., June 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For 12 years, MimiSilk, the at-home beauty device brand, has remained committed to a single mission: to bring professional-grade personal care technology into everyday life—safely, gently, and effectively. To mark this milestone, MimiSilk is celebrating its 12th anniversary with the launch of two new products and a month-long global promotion. The anniversary marks the brand's continued investment in making advanced skincare more accessible to people around the world.

Two New Launches: MimiSilk Vera and PDRN Collagen Face Mask

Leading the anniversary lineup is MimiSilk Vera RF Sculpt, the brand's latest at-home radio frequency skin lifting device. Operating at a professional-grade 6.25MHz frequency with a gel-free design, Vera is engineered to visibly lift, smooth, and firm aging skin, delivering professional-level results without the need for in-clinic visits. Unlike conventional RF devices that require conductive gel for treatment, Vera's gel-free technology simplifies the experience without compromising efficacy, making professional-grade skin tightening easier to maintain as part of a regular home routine. Designed to function as both an effective standalone solution and a long-term complement to clinical RF treatments, Vera represents MimiSilk's continued advancement in accessible anti-aging technology.

Alongside Vera, MimiSilk introduces the PDRN Collagen Face Mask—a hydrogel mask formulated with PDRN, 4D Hyaluronic Acid, and Collagen for deep hydration, barrier recovery, and visible skin renewal. Clinically associated with tissue regeneration and collagen stimulation, PDRN is an increasingly recognised ingredient in professional skincare settings. By incorporating it into an at-home hydrogel format, MimiSilk extends its philosophy of clinical-grade care into its skincare range. The mask is particularly suited as a recovery and enhancement step following RF and laser treatments, making it a natural pairing with both Vera and MimiSilk's best-selling Iris 1450nm fractional laser device.

12 Years of Care, and Beyond

From its flagship Iris device to the newly launched Vera and PDRN Face Mask, MimiSilk continues to expand its ecosystem of advanced personal care, built on the belief that effective skincare should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Beyond beauty devices, MimiSilk is growing into a complete personal wellness ecosystem, encompassing laser hair growth, oral care, intimate wellness, and sleep-support products. As the brand enters its 13th year, MimiSilk remains focused on supporting people through every stage of their wellness journey.
