International airport in Singapore
POPULARITY
Diese Folge ist kein Reisebericht. Sie ist eine Einladung – in ein Leben jenseits der Postkartenmotive. In dieser Episode der BEYOND BORDERS Reihe nehme ich dich mit auf eine ganz persönliche Reise: 7 Jahre Singapur – erzählt an 7 verschiedenen Orte, die mein Leben verändert haben. Jeder dieser Orte steht - auf ihre Art und Weise - für Stärke, strikte Regeln, Transformation, Wachstum, Klarheit, Mut, Identität, Vielfalt, Lebensqualität – und bewusste Entscheidungen. Es geht nicht darum, was ich erlebt habe – sondern was du für dich mitnehmen kannst, wenn du bereit bist, dich auf diese Reise nach Singapore einzulassen. ✨ In dieser Folge erfährst du: Warum ein einfaches Essen im Hawker Center dich mehr über Verbindung und Menschlichkeit lehrt als jedes Executive Board Meeting Wie Sentosa mir gezeigt hat, dass du dich nicht entscheiden musst zwischen Karriere und Lebensqualität Welche Frage ich mir über den Dächern von Marina Bay Sands gestellt habe – und wie sie mein Leben radikal verändert hat Warum Little India ein grandioser Lehrmeister darin ist, echte Vielfalt zu leben, nicht nur zu tolerieren Warum ich gerade im Botanischen Garten immer wieder Klarheit gefunden habe – über mein Business, mein Leben und meinen nächsten Schritt Warum Systeme wie in Singapur der Schlüssel für echtes Wachstum sind – und was du daraus für dein Unternehmen lernen kannst Und was der Changi Airport mir über Timing, Freiheit und bewusste Entscheidungen beigebracht hat – jedes Mal, wenn ich durch diese Türen ging

fWotD Episode 2722: Changi Airport MRT station Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 17 October 2024 is Changi Airport MRT station.Changi Airport MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station in Changi, Singapore. The station is the terminus of the Changi Airport branch of the East–West Line (EWL); it is operated by SMRT Trains and is built in an east–west direction. The station directly connects to Terminals 2 and 3 of Changi Airport and serves other airport amenities including the retail complex of Jewel.A rail connection to the airport had been planned in the 1980s but these plans were shelved due to the low financial viability of such a branch. With increased air traffic to Changi Airport and the proposal of Terminal 3 in 1994, the plans were revived. The current two-station branch line was finalised in 1996 and construction began in 1998. Changi Airport station opened on 8 February 2002 with lower passenger demand than expected, but it continues to provide an alternative transport option to the airport. In May 2019, it was announced Changi Airport station would be incorporated into the Thomson–East Coast Line by 2040 as it extends to the airport's Terminal 5.Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, Changi Airport station includes elements that cater to airport travellers such as wider faregates at the platforms. The glass atrium walls at the ends of the station support an illuminated bridge that spans the island platform while allowing maximum sunlight into the station.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Thursday, 17 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Changi Airport MRT station on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
If you've been to the newly revamped Changi Airport Terminal 2, you've would've noticed this landmark feature located at the heart of the departure hall. Does an immersive digital waterfall ring a bell? Called The Wonderfall, the 14-metre tall digital waterfall is a piece of digital art and is said to be the result of a highly creative and technical challenge. The LED wall, for one thing, is made up of close to 900 flat and flexi-curve tiles, which blends seamlessly with the vertical green wall and the facade of the airport terminal. Along with piano music and sounds of the waterfall rush, the Wonderfall was quite the spectacle. But ever wondered who are the ones behind such digital entertainment experiences combining video, lighting, sounds and special effects? Well, that's exactly who we're going to talk to for today. Founded in 2001, our guest Moment Factory is a multimedia entertainment studio that specialises in the conception and production of immersive environments for its customers in public spaces. The Montreal-headquartered firm has a geographical presence in major cities such as Paris, Tokyo, New York and Singapore. It serves some of the world's largest companies such as Microsoft, Billie Eilish, Changi Airport, the NFL, Madonna, the City of Barcelona, Sony and cruise operator Royal Caribbean, and is behind some of the most notable installations like Las Vegas Sphere. But how would the firm define its value proposition given such a diverse customer base? Meanwhile, Grand View Research estimates the global immersive entertainment market to grow at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2024 to 2030 to reach US$426.77 billion by 2030. But where does digital immersive experience fit within the market, and what will be the key drivers of growth for Moment Factory? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Danny Tan, Singapore-based Managing Producer, Moment Factory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The British arrived in Singapore in January 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles landed on the island, establishing it as a trading post for the British East India Company. Singapore declared independence from Britain in 1963 and became part of Malaysia. Due to political and cultural differences, Singapore separated from Malaysia and became independent in 1965. And that was the start of the economic miracle that saw its GDP multiply from $1 billion in 1960 to approximately $300 billion in 2014.
The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Great service is so fleeting and illusive. You encounter it and then like the morning mist, the next minute it is gone. One company representative is so spectacularly helpful and then next one is seemingly possessed by evil spirits and demonic. As companies how do we get the angels inside our staff to engage with the clients, rather than having reputation destroying devils intrude. Good service, consistently delivered, is no accident and so it has to be made to occur. How can we do that? Jan Carlzon many years ago published a tremendous guide to customer service. He had the job of turning around SAS airlines and captured that experience in his book “Moments Of Truth”. Carlson's insights flooded back to me when I checked into a hotel in Singapore. By the way, the drive in from Changi Airport is a credit to the Singaporean Government, who spend millions every year to develop and maintain their landscaped, leafy, green, tropical thoroughfares. This is smart. You are already in a pleasant mood just getting into town. While going through the check-in process at the hotel, a waiter from the adjoining restaurant approached me bearing an ice-cold glass of freshly squeezed juice. Singapore is very humid and trust me, after a long flight, that ice cold beverage went down very well. I thought this is really well thought through customer service by this Hotel. One of Carlzon's observations about customer service however was the importance of consistency of delivery. For example, visualise the telephone receptionist answering your call in a pleasant, helpful manner and you are uplifted by your exposure to the brand. The next staff member receiving the transferred call however, is grumpy, disinterested and unfriendly. Instantly, your mood and positive impression plummet. You are suddenly irritated by this company, who have just damaged their brand by their lack of an ability to sustain good service across only two consecutive touch points with the customer. How do you feel when you are given the run around from department to department? So back to my story. As I get to my room, in good spirits after unexpectedly receiving my ice-cold juice, I find out the television isn't working. After a forensic search for the cause, including a few harsh words with the television controller, I discover the power is not on. There is a card slot next to the door that initiates the power supply to the room. Actually, I discovered the same system in the elevator, when I unsuccessfully tried to select my floor. Yes, I worked it all out eventually, but the thought occurred to me that the pleasant, busy young woman checking me into the hotel, failed to mention these two salient facts to me. Sustainability of good service has to be the goal if you want to protect or grow your brand. Let me mention a customer service breakdown I particularly dislike here in Japan. When you call just about any organization here, you get a very flat voice answering the phone saying in Japanese ,“XYZ company here”. You ask to speak with that very excellent and impressive member of staff, Ms. Suzuki whom you met recently. The flat uninterested voice tells you that she “is not at her desk right now” and then you are abandoned to stone cold motherless silence. The “may I take down your name and phone number so that she can call you back” bit is rarely offered. Instead, you are left hanging on the phone. The inference of the silence is that if Ms. Suzuki is not around, that is your problem buddy and you should call back later, rather than expect a return call. Again, to Carlzon's point, these inconsistencies of customer service directly damage the brand. In this example, when I had previously met Ms. Suzuki, I was impressed by her and consequently I had a good impression of the whole organisation. I was projecting that positive vibe to the entire company. The person taking the call has just put that positive image of the brand to the sword. When you are the leader of your company, you presume that everyone “gets it” about representing the brand and that the whole team delivers consistent levels of service. You expect that your whole team is supporting the marketing department's efforts to create an excellent image of the organization. After all, you have been spending truckloads of money on that marketing effort, haven't you? But are all the staff supporting the effort to build the brand? Perhaps they have forgotten what you have said about consistent customer service in the past or they are a new hire or a part-timer who didn't get properly briefed. I heard one of my recent hires in the sales team answering the phone with an unhelpful tone in his voice. He actually sounded like he was angry. He was in his fifties, so no boy, but obviously that had been his standard, ugly phone manner throughout his entire working life. A perpetual brand killer, client alienating, reputation destroyer right there. We have an open plan office, so I could hear this. If you are encased in the dark wood paneled corner executive crib with a tremendous view, then maybe you will never know what is going on in the engine room and therefore be unable to do anything about it. Leaders, we should all sit down and draw the spider's web of how customers interact with us and who they interact with. We should expect that nobody on our team gets it about the preservation of the brand and determine that we have to tell them all again, again and again. So how about this for a starter for educating our staff to do a better job protecting and enhancing the brand: Answer the phone with a pleasant, happy voice. Be helpful and offer your name first, so the customer won't be embarrassed that they didn't recognise your voice. It also gives the caller confidence that a real person is going to take care of their needs. If you take the call and the person they are calling isn't there, proactively offer to ensure they get a call back as soon as possible and guarantee you will get their message through to them. End with thanking them for their call and again leave your name, in case there is anything further the caller may need. First impressions count, but so do all the follow-up impressions, if we want to build a sustainable, consistent positive image with our customers. Consistency of good experiences doesn't happen automatically. We have to look again at all of our touch points with our customers and ensure that everyone in the team understands their place in maintaining the excellent brand we have built up. Action Steps Draw your spiders web of client touch points and identify who needs training, including non-regular staff. Design the experience you want the client to have and train everyone around the content. Look at your systems for moving or transitioning the client through the organization, to make sure the client experience is consistently good. Always check to see what you think is happening is actually the case.

It is all about the concrete that goes into the buildings we live, work and play in today! Founded in 1958, our guest Pan-United Corporation is a Singapore-grown and publicly listed concrete innovation company that aims to catalyse change and promote sustainability in the ready-mix concrete and logistics space. The company is one the largest producers of concrete here in Asia. The firm has a catalogue of over 300 specialised concrete solutions and serves a wide variety of industries such as aviation, underground, transport and more. In particular, its range of over 150 low-carbon concrete products were used in iconic buildings and urban structures such as Jewel at Changi Airport, the Helix Bridge, Gardens by the Bay and even residential homes like the Pinnacles@Duxton and Reflections at Keppel Bay. Its concrete solutions also moulded infrastructure such as the Tuas Mega Port, our MRT Lines – the Circle Line, Downtown Line and Thomson East Coast Line – as well as highways. Why are we talking about Pan-United Corporation you might ask. Well, the firm had in February reported a net profit of S$20.4 million for the second half of its 2023 financial year ended December, up 107 per cent from the year ago period. The performance came amid higher revenue, driven by the firm's concrete and cement business. But how does the firm assess its latest performance and what will be its key drivers of growth? Meanwhile, Pan-United Corporation also plans to transform its business model to become a solutions provider and sell its intellectual property in sustainable concrete – so what can we look forward to on this front? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to May Ng, CEO, Pan-United Corporation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Wer nach Singapur fliegt, muss am Changi-Airport nicht viel Zeit einkalkulieren. Denn der internationale Flughafen des kleinen Inselstaates funktioniert äußerst effizient. Geschäftsleute wissen das sehr zu schätzen, berichtet Dominique Herold, die als Geschäftsführerin des German Centre Singapur deutsche Unternehmen beim Schritt nach Südostasien unterstützt: "Man versucht immer den Rekord zu brechen, wenn man wieder nach Singapur einfliegt", erzählt sie im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit". Vom Touchdown auf der Landebahn bis nach draußen könne man es in nur 20 Minuten schaffen.Der Flughafen ist eine Art Visitenkarte für Singapur. Denn auch sonst legt das Land gerne mal den Turbo ein. Für den ASEAN-Experten Daniel Müller gehört es gewissermaßen zur DNA des Inselstaates, immer einen Tick "schneller, besser und smarter" zu sein als andere. Die Menschen seien sich des schwierigen geopolitischen Umfelds bewusst und stets darum bemüht, die große Abhängigkeit Singapurs bei Rohstoffen, Energie oder Nahrungsmittel zumindest ein Stückweit auszugleichen. Diese Denkweise schlage sich auch auf die Geschäftskultur nieder, berichtet Müller: "Und davon profitieren die Unternehmen."Über 2000 deutsche Firmen sind aktuell in Singapur aktiv. Neben einem guten Geschäftsklima führt auch die Nähe zu anderen ASEAN-Staaten dazu, dass das Land als Sprungbrett für ganz Südostasien gilt. Wo genau liegt das Zukunftspotenzial? Welche Branchen sind besonders gefragt? Und wie positioniert sich das multikulturelle Singapur im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Westen und China? Über das und mehr diskutiert Host Mary Abdelaziz-Ditzow in der neuen Podcast-Folge mit ihren Gästen Dominique Herold und Daniel Müller.Dominique Herold lebt schon seit sechs Jahren in Singapur. Seit drei Jahren leitet sie das dortige German Centre for Industry and Trade und bietet Eindrücke aus erster Hand. Daniel Müller hingegen schaut von außen auf Singapur und hat dabei immer auch die Nachbarstaaten genau im Blick: Er ist Regionalmanager ASEAN beim OAV - German-Asia-Pacific Business Association.

A Deepavali banner that asked revellers to clean up after themselves caused disquiet on social media, prompting the MP in charge of the area to remove the sign to avoid misunderstandings. Was it really necessary to get rid of the banner? Also, in-person social mixers are becoming popular among Singapore youth, in a strange reversion to a world before social media and Tinder.

Episode Notes Airbnb released its latest set of product enhancements on Wednesday — including Guest Favorites, new badges that identify customers' favorite homes, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Schaal writes that Airbnb will place a Guest Favorites badge on 2 million of its properties. Those badges will help travelers pick stays based on homes' ratings. Schaal notes that hosts will benefit from several other features as well. Airbnb said hosts will be able to create AI-powered photo tours of their homes in seconds. In addition, Airbnb said it's overhauling ratings and reviews to make them more guest-friendly. Guests will be able to sort reviews by when they were written and their rating scores. Next, Las Vegas' Sphere arena opened to much fanfare in September, headlined by a U2 concert. But will it be a profitable venue? Newly released data highlighted the risks and rewards of the $2.3 billion structure, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Selene Brophy. While Sphere Entertainment CEO James Dolan expressed optimism about the Sphere's potential, Brophy notes analysts are uncertain if it will generate enough revenue to offset the enormous initial investments. Revenue from the Sphere's opening didn't cover its first quarter direct operating expenses. However, one media executive said the Sphere was on its way to becoming a global landmark due to the publicity it's already received. Brophy adds its owners are hopeful upcoming major events in Las Vegas will help expose visitors to the venue. Finally, Singapore Airlines is coming off a strong September quarter. But the company is not resting on its laurels as its rivals continue their recoveries, reports Edward Russell, editor of Skift publication Airline Weekly. Singapore Airlines posted a $589 million operating profit during the quarter. Company executives attributed the success to strong peak summer travel demand and lower fuel prices. And Russell writes the carrier is developing a multi-part strategy to maintain a competitive advantage, including extending its network of airline partnerships around the world. Russell adds that Singapore Airlines is working to increase connectivity over the city-state's Changi Airport. Singapore Airlines and budget subsidiary Scoot plan to serve 23 destinations in China by December.

Two-thirds of the way through 2022, travel and tourism in South East Asia are gaining momentum. Visitor arrivals increased across the region in August, while stirrings of travel activity in China and Japan are sparking optimism. This week, Gary and Hannah assess the 10 key travel talking points of the past month throughout Asia Pacific. The journey takes us to Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam, plus China, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. En route, we discuss airline fleet expansions, robust domestic travel, entry visa extensions, jet fuel prices and the shifting redefinition of what it means to be "fully vaccinated". Plus, we've got the latest news as the China-ASEAN high-speed railway map takes shape, and the recently announced details of T5 at Changi Airport, which will significantly expand air capacity in Singapore.
We look into why Malaysians choose to work in Singapore. This comes after a recent ad went viral, highlighting that there are jobs available in Changi Airport that will pay up to almost 10,000 ringgit. First, we speak to a Malaysian working in Singapore, to hear about what the appeal is, and what it's like. Then, what does Malaysia need to do, to keep people working here?Travel man & Richie Chan, Shutterstock

Confessor used to spend her nights at Changi Airport with her fiancé, just looking at planes taking off and talking about life. Until one night where she needs to go to the toilet and she met something that made her think twice about staying till so late there. Title pretty much sums it, she saw someone combing her long, long hair in the washroom! Confessor stayed in a house where the family bought over from a doctor that is migrating. When she moved in, things were okay at first until it was not, especially the study room that confessor said there were countless events happening there until the house was sold off. Lucky for many of us, the house is no more longer around for purchase, just an empty plot of land. From Singapore, we have confession sent in from a Sabahan about this particular lonely road in Sabah. Any Sabahan listening to this, do let us know and if you happen to have stories from Sabah, we are waiting for you to CONFESS! It must be the Hantu!
