Marina Bay & Suntec @ Singapore

Singapore is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Founded as a British trading colony in 1819, since independence it has become one of the world's most prosperous countries and has the world's busiest port. Combining the skyscrapers and modern subways, with good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great holiday destination.

My 4 days 3 nights to Singapore start off from Subang Airport. My friend & I took the 8.00am Firefly flight from Subang Airport and reached Changi Budget Terminal 1 hour & 10 minutes later.


Waiting for take off.

As soon we reached Singapore, we headed to a friend's HDB apartment where we staying to put our things first. Then from there, we took MRT to Esplande station for SunTec shopping complex. The main attraction there were the Fountain of wealth & the five buildings which represent five fingers.


Taking free shuttle bus to terminal 2 from Budget Terminal. Terminal 2 has MRT station near-by.

Wonderful view of HDB flats.

I can see that Singapore is totally different compared to Malaysia. Efficient & clean. Their MRT service really amazed me. Don't worry if the train is full and you have to wait for the next train. You only need to wait for 3 minutes for the next train. Plus their train can carry many passengers compared to our pathetic Monorail which can just carry less than 100 people at any one time. Wondering how come our ministers need to visit Brazil few years back when they have a perfect example of good MRT service next door. I also like the MRT station escalator speed. Its fast and suit my tempo.


Interactive MRT station map. It blinks the next station. It also tells you which door will it open.

Again, clean although fully utilized. First world infrastructure and first world mentality. Plus of course, strict enforcement.

The area quite large. My camera can't capture all 5 buildings.
