Just a little something to share with you guys I got off from 'TodayOnline.Com'
New Brand Singapore
Survey points to a hipper image, but those here ask: 'Really?'
"Sceptical Singaporeans themselves may be surprised, but according to a survey of 1,500 jet-setting tourists and industry experts worldwide, the Republic has aggressively reinvented its image in the course of a single year.
Safe? Of course. Good place for doing business? We knew that. But Singapore now ranks second in the world even for the quality of its nightlife and dining — with only Italy ahead of it in that category — according to the survey released in several capitals across the world yesterday."
"Singapore's efforts in defining and promoting its destination brand are bearing fruit," said Mr Dominic Mason from international brand consultant FutureBrand, which organised the survey along with public relations firm Weber Shandwick and helped promote the "Uniquely Singapore" branding.
"Singaporeans themselves were not easily convinced of their country's freshly-minted appeal."
HUH?? What Singapore? top 2 nightlife and dinning experience in the world??
hmmm then why Im always left with no where to go after dusk? Except to work.
TRue True.. I might not have explored all the places.. But Im here for the whole of my 19 years! and surely the other countries have more to offer?
So Actually I try to convince myself that it could be possible because:
- Survey was done @ Clarke quay/Boat Quay/MoMo/Butter FActory/Zouk/M.O.S/All other pubs.
- Person who did the survey had mostly drank Whisky and Wines and answered in such 'Sober' state of the minds... *read my sarcastic words in between...*
- 90% of the tourist they surveyed @ the so called 'Popular night spots' had only been here ONCE. *Once is Fun, twice is enjoyable..Third is ermmm......Fourth is zzzzZzz....*
Maybe they should RE-Look at the surveys? Did Singapore pay them to do the survey or what?
Next,
MM named an 'Asian hero' by Time
"Lee Kuan Yew picked as one of magazine's 60 heroes who transformed the region..."
"Mr Lee, 83, was named alongside 12 other "nation builders" on a list that includes China's Deng Xiaoping, India's Mahatma Gandhi, World War II hero General Douglas MacArthur and Myanmar's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. "
This, I tend to agree, I am no Hard Core PAP Supporter, But you cannot denied the truth about Singapore Independence because of him
*although he was also the guy responsible for the Malaysian merger..... lets not touch on history stories....*
Without MM Lee, we might still be living off Malaysia's palm oil trees instead of Creative Technological sound blasters.
Each has his own trade, not saying that Palm Trees are less worth to be proud off, But, We, have established a TOP 2 Night Life Blah blah blah status didn't we?
But anyhows, I guess... Congrats......Singapore.
For making it to the TOP 10 BEST NIGHT LIFE AND DINNING in the world.
Better check which company did the survey again......
