China, 14th Nov 2025 – From November 12 to 14, the 2025 Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) was held at the Singapore EXPO. The event gathered thousands of leaders across global finance, technology, and public policy to explore how artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and other innovations can contribute to a safer and more efficient global financial system.

LianLian Global, the cross-border payment brand under Lianlian, was invited to exhibit in Hall 4, where it presented its latest technology-driven global payment achievements and engaged with global experts to discuss new opportunities in cross-border payments and the future of secure and efficient global capital circulation. This marked LianLian Global’s fourth consecutive participation in this world-class fintech event.

Amid a new wave of technological and industrial transformation, Singapore continues to attract fintech companies with its strong regulatory framework, supportive investment environment, financial strength, and diverse talent pool. It has become one of the most vibrant financial centers in the world.

Within Lianlian’s global strategy, Singapore serves as the regional headquarters for Southeast Asia. Lianlian established its Singapore subsidiary in 2018 and expanded its footprint to Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, where it has set up licensed entities. In September 2021, STARLINK, Lianlian’s Singapore subsidiary, received the Major Payment Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. This license has been a core foundation for Lianlian’s business development in Southeast Asia.

Over the years, Lianlian has used its strengths in technology, compliance, and global networks to build its brand and service capabilities in the region. Together with local partners, Lianlian has launched cross-border collection, acquiring, and payment solutions for merchants, enterprises, and SMEs, supporting their global expansion.

In Thailand, Lianlian obtained “Card Payment” and “Authorized Payment” licenses from the Bank of Thailand in 2019, becoming the first fully foreign-owned company to receive both. After obtaining these licenses, Lianlian integrated local card schemes, banks, domestic and international wallets, and rolled out offline merchant acquiring and online independent site and app acquiring solutions to meet diverse payment needs.

In Vietnam, Lianlian has collaborated with local financial institutions to create tailored cross-border service products. In September 2021, LianLian Global launched its local collection service in Vietnam, providing compliant and efficient collection solutions for Vietnamese cross-border sellers. In September 2022, Lianlian’s global acquiring service also launched in Vietnam, enabling local sellers to accept international credit card payments through a unified channel. Lianlian also regularly hosts offline seminars to help Vietnamese sellers access global markets through shared expertise from platforms, sellers, and ecosystem partners.

At SFF 2025, LianLian Global highlighted its major innovation in cross-border payment infrastructure: the LianLian Global Payout Service (LGPS).

LGPS is built for payment service providers, banks, and other licensed financial institutions. With a single API, overseas PSPs and banks can make payments to China and other key global markets while benefiting from transparent, secure, efficient, and fully traceable payment processes.

According to Lianlian representatives, LGPS provides a modern, API-driven payment channel that moves real funds between global markets in a compliant and seamless manner. Its strength lies in combining speed, local connectivity, and global compliance.

On compliance and security, Lianlian leverages more than 60 global payment licenses along with its self-developed anti-money-laundering and anti-fraud engine to provide safe, compliant, and end-to-end cross-border services. With its global transaction processing network and local clearing pathways, Lianlian can achieve near real-time settlement while reducing intermediary fees and unnecessary costs. LGPS also supports a variety of B2B and B2C payment scenarios.

A Lianlian representative noted that the next phase of LGPS will focus on expanding its coverage and interoperability by connecting more local clearing networks in Europe, the Middle East, and ASEAN. Lianlian also plans to deepen cooperation with banks and financial institutions that seek faster access to new markets through Lianlian’s payment capabilities.

With continued innovation, LianLian Global aims to build a borderless, frictionless, and intelligent global payment experience. The goal is to support rapid, compliant, and smarter movement of capital worldwide and contribute to the future of global digital trade.

Children from “Truth About Drugs Denmark” lead major cannabis awareness effort as national youth drug use continues to decline

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (November 2025) – A new generation of young volunteers in Denmark is taking the lead in the fight against drug abuse. In 2025, children and teens affiliated with Truth About Drugs Denmark have engaged more than 500 local shopkeepers in Copenhagen to display and distribute The Truth About Drugs educational booklets. This initiative is the latest in a decades-long campaign supported by the Church of Scientology to promote drug-free living across the country.

Youth-Led Street Outreach Turns Shops into Education Points

Teams of young volunteers – aged 10 to 20 – have canvassed neighborhoods throughout Copenhagen, approaching businesses with a simple message: make factual information about drugs easily available to the public. More than 500 businesses have since agreed to participate by placing booklets at checkout counters and engaging customers in conversations about substance use.

Giulia, a public affairs advisor supporting the volunteers, described their impact: “They are showing adults that they care about our future—and that they are taking responsibility for it.”

The materials, developed by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, are secular and fact-based, covering the effects of drugs such as cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine, and alcohol. The campaign’s goal is to help people make informed decisions. One teenage volunteer explained: “This is about saving lives, not religion. We want people to know what drugs really do.”

Youth Cannabis Use Down Sharply in Denmark

The campaign coincides with encouraging national data: cannabis use among Danish youth has dropped significantly over the past decade. According to a November 2025 report by Center for Rusmiddelforskning (Danish Center for Drug Research), cannabis use among 15–25-year-olds has fallen from 44% in 2014 to 31.6% in 2025. Among young men, the drop is even steeper—from 51% to 34%.

A key reason? “There is simply more awareness and caution today,” said researcher Kirsten Frederiksen in a DR article. “The risk appetite isn’t as high as it used to be.”

Researchers cited broad dissemination of drug education materials as a contributing factor to this shift, suggesting that prevention campaigns are effectively reaching their audience. These findings support the relevance of grassroots efforts like the Copenhagen outreach.

A Longstanding Scientology-Supported Effort

This youth-led project builds on more than 30 years of drug education efforts by the Church of Scientology in Denmark. Since 1991, Scientology volunteers have distributed Truth About Drugs materials at major events, including the Copenhagen Marathon and the Royal Run, as well as in public spaces such as Strøget.

The campaign reflects the views of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote that “the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs.” Inspired by this principle, the Church has supported drug education projects in over 200 cities worldwide through its partnership with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World.

“They Are Already Changing the World”

European institutions increasingly recognize the value of youth-led prevention. Ivan Arjona, the Church of Scientology’s representative to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe, and United Nations, emphasized the broader relevance of this campaign:

“Meaningful youth participation isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a blueprint for building resilient communities — one booklet and one conversation at a time. These young people are not waiting for permission to change the world… They are already doing it.”

By turning local shops into knowledge centers and empowering young voices, the campaign demonstrates how community engagement and evidence-based education can reshape attitudes and behavior—without stigma or coercion.

About the Church of Scientology

The Church of Scientology and its affiliated missions, groups, and members are active across the European continent. It continues to be recognized in multiple countries as a charitable and bona fide religion. Inspired by the humanitarian legacy of L. Ron Hubbard, the Church is committed to long-term education, prevention, and community betterment initiatives, particularly in the fields of drug prevention, human rights, and moral values education.
