Government blocks sale of Marina Bay Sands mall

Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd is not allowed to sell, transfer or dispose of its estate interest in Marina Bay Sands within the exclusivity period of 10 years.

This is what Singapore Tourism Board director Carrie Kwik was quoted as saying in a Reuters report following Las Vegas Sands’ statement about the potential sale for as much as $4 billion as early as 2013.

The report said the approval of the government must be sought if the operator were to consider any sale or subdivision of the integrated resort after the exclusivity period.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
