Mexico City and Hong Kong SAR (February 12, 2021) –
Wyith Institute™ announces another of its major breakthrough today in its
digital token and asset management service.
Gubernatura Nacional Indígena de México, i.e. the Sovereign National Indigenous Government
of the United States of Mexico (known as GNI), announced today that it has chosen
Wyith Institute™ to help roll out its first adoption of its
digital payment currency using Bankcoin Reserve at Wyith (BCR@W),
a forked version of Bankcoin Reserve (BCR) modulated and designed by Wyith Institute™.
"GNI sees that the digital age is upon us and society is headed for the future.
Hence the Indigenous Nation wishes to be part of the digital age and accompany
innovation towards present day and future success," remarked the Honorable Hipólito Arriaga Pote,
Governor of GNI, the Sovereign National Indigenous Government of the United States of Mexico.
"We also recognize the necessity of having its own digital asset coin to help
with the Indigenous Nation's citizens pay for day-to-day needs such as education,
potable water, and general daily goods and services," added Alberto Castellanos,
Administrator of GNI.

"We have assisted or have worked with the GNI previously in a number of
humanitarian projects for the indigenous people of Mexico, including the 50/50
automobile loan program, the water machine project, the land and livelihood project that
relates to food cultivation, education (which is also from Wyith Institute™),
and now the first digital asset coin for the indigenous government,"
added Ruth Ditucci, Director of Wyith Institute™.
"We are confident that our team shall be able to provide the most suitable solution
to the indigenous government as they adopt this latest blockchain technology through our Institute," she continued.
Dr Raymond Cheng, President and CEO of Wyith Institute™, also commented on this
new endeavour. "We are indeed honored to be again trusted by an entire nation's government,
i.e. the National Indigenous Government of Mexico, with our capability in bringing them the
necessary technology and know-how in the implementation of such a large-scale microfinancing
programme through using the BCR@W coin designed by Wyith Institute™. This recognition
from GNI is a true, living testimony of both the capability as well as the integrity
of the Institute and its services, and is also a highly appreciated act of trust in
the related peripheral services Wyith Institute™ provides, including our business intelligence
services and our KYT (Know-Your-Transaction), KYC (Know-Your-Customer) programmes.
We do see a lot of challenges ahead, but we are both assured and optimistic that
our team at Wyith Institute™ will be able to carry out the said programme with utmost care
and dedication, building even stronger friendships with our indigenous friends from Mexico."
While Mexico is the 10th most populated country with a population of 126 million (as of 2020),
the most populous Spanish-speaking country, and the third-most populous in the Americas
after the United States and Brazil, the indigenous Mexican people make up about one-fifth
to a quarter (amounting to around 30 million plus) of Mexico's population.

London, UK (July 23, 2013) –
Dr Raymond Cheng has recently been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts,
The RSA, in recognition for his continuous work in the betterment
of the human society through information technology.

fellowship acknowledged not only my work over the last 20 years but also
signified approval of some kind, particularly from like-minded peers from
all over the world," Dr Cheng commented. "I knew long ago that I am not
alone and there are a lot of people out there doing even much bigger things
with far greater ideas, so being officially accepted to become part of
such a huge network of these great and visionary people definitely feels
honored and privileged."
"Since 1997, I have been a convener or on boards of directors for
various voluntary projects (including different types of information
technology-related work for the local Salvation Army, the Rotary Club,
publicly-funded museums and exhibition halls for visual and
installation arts, as well as projects for other religious bodies and NGOs),
all aiming at the betterment of the human society through the
use of information technology. As a believer of the power of free
and collaborative information, I see that a better future
can be built through the free and transparent flow of information coupled
with the collective wisdom of everyone on this planet. Just as I often say,
the 'I' alone simply doesn't help much if we do not come and work together.
Now, as a new fellow of the RSA, I can foresee that I would not only meet
people with similar ambition, but could also contribute my part to help form
a larger 'we' while learning from other fellows to widen my perspectives
upon the world," he added.
Founded in 1754, The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts,
Manufactures and Commerce is often simply referred to as The Royal Society
of Arts for the sake of brevity, and its members as Fellows of the RSA (FRSA).
