Is there really a need to build a new indoor stadium with similar sitting capacity, just to be ahead of the game (and to bring in more tourist $$$)? I think swiftie's effect have gone wrong somehow. Is that why our GST need to increase years after years??? In Chinese, we say 被钱冲昏了头脑。。。And this ET is like a 败家子 imo. FYI, I spoke to friends in construction industries, yes, it will cost millions of $$$ to improve on power supply capacity, but definitely will be much much lesser than demolishing and building a new indoor stadium. Isn't tearing down good building for a new one against our pledge of going green?!

To be located adjacent to the Indoor Stadium, the yet unnamed venue will be "among the best-in-class globally", Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said on Thursday (Mar 7), as he outlined his ministry's spending plans for the year. Concerts and sporting events often require more power than the Indoor Stadium’s infrastructure can handle, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) said during a media briefing last week. Money, time and resources need to be spent to add extra power or electrical support. Meanwhile, countries in the region have built or are building indoor arenas that can host more sophisticated events or have faster turnaround times. They also offer greater value propositions to spectators, such as more varied hospitality suites. "Our competitors are not standing still, and we, likewise, must continually innovate and evolve if we want to continue to attract top-tier events," said Mr Tong in parliament, noting that high-quality international events are valuable and highly sought after. Singapore has "gone around to study some of the best arenas in the world, to learn from them", he said. The new indoor arena will support Singapore's vision for the surrounding Kallang Alive precinct to host world-class events and serve as a homeground for national athletes among other purposes. Plans are in their early stages and the Singapore Indoor Stadium will continue to operate for now. "This minimises disruption to the pipeline of events and programming, which can continue throughout the construction period for the new arena," said Mr Tong. MCCY is considering future uses for the Indoor Stadium, which was officially opened on the last day of 1989. The Indoor Stadium and its supporting infrastructure cost S$90 million (US$67.1 million) to build. It can seat up to 12,000 and the new arena should "at least have the same capacity", said Mr Tong on Thursday. Several major sports and entertainment events have been held at the Indoor Stadium over the years, from Kanye West and Tina Turner to the World Wrestling Entertainment and Women's Tennis Association Finals. In the past year, it has hosted performances by Cantopop star Jacky Cheung and veteran K-pop group Shinee.

Hi bro n sista, wonder if there are any member here hold the arena country club membership. Want to know if it still worth to continue the membership.

The latest news from the land down under is that Proton will be phasing out the current Wira-based Proton Jumbuck (known as the Proton Arena in Malaysia) over the next few months in preparation for the launch of an all-new Jumbuck. According to the story, the new Jumbuck/Arena will be based on an existing passenger car platform. It would make sense for Proton to base the new Jumbuck on the Exora

I am planning to buy the Proton Arena (FreeStyle). It's quite a cool lookig pick-up . Anyone knows if it's a reliable vehicle? Any pros and cons? I know it runs on petrol not diesel...

Proton have came out with its own Pickup version..
