Monday 9.12.2013: Arrival from Woodlands KTMB train station to Kuala Lumpur Central at 7.00am

We embark on a journey from Kuala Lumpur Sentral boarding on a train at 10:30 pm composed of 10 students and our very own lecturer Dr. Cordilia. We arrived in Singapore checkpoint in Woodland on Saturday morning, to be exact at 7:30 am. During this short period, we were brief by Dr. Cordilia of our mission and we were group into small team. Our mission is to observe Singapore in terms of the peoples and its correlation to the success of this small nation achievements despite its nature of being a small island that fundamentally lack of natural resources. In this mission, we were tasked to interview Singaporean citizen on how he/she perceives of being a citizen of this small nation inclusive, if permitted, economic and social aspect. Thus, from woodland, Our team Aedy Firdaus Abd Razak, Asnawi Othman,  and Sallehuddin set our venture together momentarily with other teams via taxi to SunTec City. During this travel to SunTec City, we did an interview session with the taxi driver which a born Malay Singaporean at the age around 34’s. Where he did gave us positive response towards our informal questions. After arriving in SunTec City, most of the team began to set their own course, which for our team, we together decided to not purchase one whole day pass ticket for tour bus for instead we tour the SunTec City to Marina Bay by walking. It is not decision to cut off the cost but we feel that in order for us to observe the city we must hands on its on closer look, which is by bare foot. Most noteable skyscrappers is DBS , DBS is a leading financial services group in Asia, with over 250 branches across 16 markets. The bank's strong capital position, as well as "AA-" and "Aa1" credit ratings that are among the highest in the Asia-Pacific region, earned it Global Finance's "Safest Bank in Asia" accolade for five consecutive years, from 2009 to 2013. Along the sidewalks from SunTec City , we passed through Marina Shopping Center, whereby we look for retailer that does not exist in Malaysia.Among the obvious brands includes Sennheiser, Samsonite, Suki-Ya. All of these retailer did not make appearance on Malaysian Market. As a tourist we did some survey in Levi’s store where, at first we observe the promoter attitude towards the foreginer or customer from outsides, for the moment we take a look at the jeans rack, no one approach us, so we did unintentionally act about to leave the store , the cashier instantly move out from the counter and chase us to accomadate. Our collegue Sallehuddin are familiar with the price of the Jeans and start to compared with Malaysian market price. In singapore levi’s store, the price are cheaper for example in Malaysia store for the brands of 501 it cost RM359.00, but in Singapore we can get the price at the cost of $250.00 (RM625) after converted plus get free jeans. Again as comparison in Malaysia if you buy 2 items the cost is 359 times 2 around RM718,and furthermore the probabilty of the price is due to the festive season like the coming of Christsmas, in which the different is about RM93. Moreover another outlet we observed is Guess, for example the jeans (GUESS REBEL) is only cost at $108 (RM270), but in Malaysia the cost is at RM350, the cost can be save as much as RM80.Another store that we observed is Bodyshop, in which we noticed that the price of the item is higher about 10-15% from Malaysian market, then the serving is not good as the promoter didn’t make an effort to approach us to accomadate the needs.The rest of the team members observed the perspectives of treatment of the people, the consumer behaviour and price comparison. We spend almost 45 minutes to walkaround the shopping mall and noticed that is not much different about the arrangement of the shop lot, the different is the brands is not available in Malaysia.Another observation about the people or customer they start to flock into the mall around 11 a.m, maybe by the time that we did the survey as early as 10 a.m. At around 11.15 a.m we did move out from the Marina Square Shopping Mall. Along the walk we see that the traffic along the way is not heavy as Malaysia, most obviously about the bus, they have some sort filter system, that controlling the fumes rates produced by the vehicles. The lesson that we got, is they have good policies on air pollution produced by vehicles in their countries. Apart form that , the timing for the bus to stop at the point and take up the passengers are consistently with the schedule. The advantages of consistent public transport is to ease the journey for the tourist and mostly for the locals.Along the way from Marina Square Shopping Mall, it takes about 1 kilometer and 15 minutes to reach Marina Bay. At first glimpse, we see that many luxuries cars runnning around the building, at the moment we expected that it was the visitors cars, but the expection change when we stopped at the counter of “Ultimate drive”. From here we learn about the business model that seldomly available in Malaysia. The Ultimate Drive makes driving a Supercar a reality. Whereby the driver can experience the thrill of driving on the official F1 circuit in a Ferrari F430 F1 Spider or Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Moreover they can unleash the power on the straights of the freeway, or simply cruise along the coastline feeling the wind in your hair. They have different Tours to cater to different needs. Their Street Circuit Tour takes customers on the famous F1 course for around 15 minutes ($298).Plus Street to Freeway Tour takes you around the F1 street circuit first, then lets you open it up and fly on the freeway for roughly half an hour of fun ($468).Apart from that the Ultimate Tour, you get to drive on the F1 street circuit before taking to the freeway for approximately one hour of performance driving. If you book two Ultimate Tours together, both cars can move off simultaneously and you can choose to swap supercars half way through and experience the thrill of driving both the Lamborghini and Ferrari ($788).Above are the Drivers' rates. Customers who book the Passengers ride can enjoy 20% off the Drivers' rates. In addition if you book two or more Tours, you will get an extra 10% off on all the Tours. These cars are 2-seaters, and due to insurance, and most importantly, safety issues, at any time during the Tour, we can only allow one customer per car. There will either be a co-driver sitting next to the customer who would be driving, or our professional and friendly driver would be in the driver’s seat chauffeuring the passenger.

However, most customers that want two people to enjoy the experience at the same time choose a double Tour. Each person will take a supercar and set off together. We have noticed that by doing so our customers enjoy their Tours even more: the two amazing engines are started simultaneously and sound even better plus they set off simultaneously. They can see each other while on the Tour and they sometime even overtake (when safe to do so). If one customer is a passenger instead of a driver in the other car then we have noticed it is a great opportunity for them to take pictures on the way; then when they finish their Tours they share their feelings on their respective supercar right away, a great moment. Plus by booking two Tours, they will get to enjoy a further 10% discount.

Please note that customers buying two Tours will be allowed to take pictures together in the same car before they start their Tour. Our Professional Drivers can assist them taking these great shots. Ultimate Drive are usually very busy – even more so on weekends. Waiting list up to three hours is not uncommon on busy days. Usually their clients make advance bookings, in order to avoid disappointment of not getting the ride at the preferred time. Especially when thisarrangement is going to be a surprise for your Dad, you may want to confirm the booking in advance on our website using Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Paypal. Alternatively we can help you to make the advance booking by telephone if you provide us with your credit card details. If however you do decide to walk in, we will do our very best to assist you in finding a time slot right for you.

At the same building our collegues Asnawi did his interview with Miss Celine supervisor of SweetSpot  Bakery. She explained that nestled into the historic Whitewater Hotel building since 2006, the SweetSpot has become Whitewater’s premier destination for specialty cakes, fresh pastries, delicious deli sandwiches, and the best coffee and specialty drinks in town.
