PIONEER gets a stylish makeover!

Light and compact

They say good things come in small packages. Our latest edition of PIONEER debuts a sleek new size that s easier to carry (and to share!) and with more pages and all-new sections to keep you informed. So bag it today!

New look, fresh content

So say the bosses...

It s been years since our last revamp. We need to keep changing things up to get readers to tear open that plastic wrapper!
Kok Wah Chuen, Editor (Publications)

PIONEER has come a long way since its days as an internal newsletter, and we certainly won't stop trying to make the magazine more exciting and relevant. I hope readers like our new look and size!
