For years, I have been tortured by the uncreative, plain stupid and irritating adverts by their very own CEO and his lackeys. Every morning and evening, it would be played on radio and it pisses the hell outta me. Its a killa of creativity. Puiz.

Over 30 MCF members with their loved ones arrived at the Subaru showroom in Leng Kee last Saturday, in the latest edition of MCF Hangout in partnership with Motul and Subaru. The hangout with French lubricant brand Motul and Subaru isn’t a random occurrence. Motul and Motor Image, exclusive distributor of Subaru cars in Singapore, has held a partnership for many years. In 2008, Motul, along with Motor Image Rally Team (MIRT) developed the Asia Pacific Rally Championship (APRC) Team Racing Oil. 100% fully synthetic, the APRC Team Racing Oil is specially made for MIRT’s cars racing in hot Asian climates. Just earlier this year, Motul and Motor Image announced that it will supply an exclusive line of lubricant products to its customers. Developed in Japan, the new Subaru engine oils by Motul are specially tailored for the brand’s boxer engines. MCF members also got a chance to learn more about Subaru’s range of cars on offer, as well as Subaru’s EyeSight safety assistance systems at the event, too. Member of the Editorial team at sgCarMart, Idris Talib, shared his experience using Motul’s 5W-30 engine oil for his Subaru Forester XT after a service at Motor Image. Idris mentioned that he was previously running 5W-40 oil, based on recommendations from friends and workshop owners. “Many have told me to use 5W-40, as turbocharged engines run hotter and require thicker oil. But upon using Motul and Subaru’s 5W-30 offering, I was getting better performance, improved fuel consumption and never had issues with engine oil temperatures” At the event, Senior Manager - Regional Product Planning at Motor Image Enterprises Pte Ltd, David Ting, shared more on the benefits and abilities of EyeSight Technology. He also answered questions on the technology from MCF members. EyeSight’s Driver Assist Technology includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, as well as Lane Departure Warning. According to David, these systems can function to alert and mitigate collisions from speeds as slow as 1km/h, up to a top speed of 200km/h. After the sharing session, MCF members also had a chance to experience the safety assistance systems at work with a live demonstration, using a Subaru Forester equipped with EyeSight. Later in the day, MCF members were also treated to a lucky draw session, where three members walked away with limited edition Subaru WRX STI collectible models worth $50.

Outrage after S Korean contestant lambasted on Asia's Next Top Model https://www.facebook.com/AsNTMOfficial/videos/1582765955346994/?pnref=story http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35931747?SThisFB The treatment of a South Korean contestant in the latest episode of TV show Asia's Next Top Model has sparked a backlash on social media. Kim Sang-in, 23, made a tearful apology to Subaru executive and guest judge Glenn Tan after he lambasted her for rolling her eyes during a photo shoot. The shoot involved models posing around a convoy of cars from Subaru, one of the show's main sponsors. After Mr Tan's outburst, viewers expressed their anger online. Hundreds of angry fans flooded the show's official Facebook page with strongly worded comments to defend the South Korean model after the show on Wednesday night. Sam Gollestani, the show's executive producer, said the incident highlighted the "emotions and tensions that occur during the competition". "Glenn provides the perspective of a client when choosing a model to front campaigns for products, which is why he was invited to be a guest judge this season," he said. "This scene is reflective of what considerations go into making these decisions when working in the fashion and modelling industry." A snippet of the incident, uploaded on to the show's Facebook page, has drawn more than 1,000 angry reactions from fans. In the full episode, broadcast on Wednesday night, Ms Kim is shown looking away as Mr Tan arrives at the scene of the photo shoot challenge among the convoy of cars. He is later shown confronting her about that moment. "Who do you think you are to roll your eyes at me?" he says. "I would never ever hire you." The contestant breaks down in tears and offers an explanation and apology, followed by a traditional Korean bow. Cherry Mae Galiza, a viewer from the Philippines, wrote on Facebook it was the show's "worst cycle ever", saying Mr Tan had been "very unprofessional". "I've had enough," she added. "Just because he is a sponsor does not mean he can yell at a girl like that," said Lucas Tai in Malaysia. Another fan from Singapore called for official action from the show. "All the judges should be ashamed of themselves, for allowing a man like Glenn think that he can treat young models in that way and get away with it," he said. "I say strip Subaru of their sponsorship and ban Glenn from ever returning to the show." The series is no stranger to controversy. A Muslim contestant from Malaysia recently hit back at critics who said it was "inappropriate" for her to compete in a TV modelling show. While Ms Kim has not officially addressed the incident, she has uploaded her photo from the shoot, saying she still likes her picture. The BBC has approached Subaru for comment.
