Public Art Space – A Voyage of Hue and Imagination 

As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, Pan Pacific Singapore and Singapore-born autodidact abstract artist, Dr Low Lee Yong, famously known as Dr Lowly, present a curated selection of Dr Lowly’s works. Inspired by nature and emotion, Dr Lowly’s works explore imagination, impermanence, and hope. Each canvas becomes a dance between control and release, echoing experience, mystery, and renewal. His art celebrates both the fleeting grace of the natural world and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. 

The showcase is on view at the Public Art Space on Level 2 of Pan Pacific Singapore, from now until 1 June 2026. It highlights his signature Squeeze and Splatter technique - dynamic bursts of acrylic that transform spontaneity into structure and disorder into visual poetry, featuring vibrant layers of colour and movement.  

Dr Lowly will donate 100% of proceeds from the sale of two artworks, Ferocious Focus and Stripped Stare, to the Children’s Cancer Foundation.

Highlights through the years

Pan Pacific Singapore boasts 790 guestrooms and suites, wellness and fitness facilities, six restaurants and bars, and 2,329 sq m of meeting and event venues. It has held a distinguished place in the city’s skyline since 1986. 

This was followed by a major transformation in 2012, which saw the full renovation of over 280 guestrooms. In the same year, the hotel launched Edge, one of the city’s largest buffet restaurants with 330 seats, featuring an extensive selection of Asian and international cuisine. 

The Pacific Club Lounge, which was originally located on Level 33, was moved to the highest floor of the hotel on Level 38, offering clubroom and suite guests a more spacious and exclusive experience with 360-degree views of the Marina Bay and the city skyline. The iconic floating pods were also introduced in the atrium on Level 1, which have since become a prominent architectural feature of the hotel. 

Enhancements continued in the years that followed. In 2016, the outdoor swimming pool underwent a comprehensive renovation, unveiling a refreshed oasis complete with water features, lush greenery, private lounging spaces, and a children’s wading pool, alongside a new poolside bar. 

The 806-square-metre Pacific Ballroom was revitalised in 2017, introducing opulent interiors, a distinctive honeycomb ceiling with programmable lighting, and state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities. 

Keyaki, one of Singapore’s oldest and most authentic Japanese restaurants, introduced the Keyaki Garden Pavilion in 2018, set within a serene Kyoto-inspired garden surrounded by koi ponds, offering a tranquil setting for intimate events. 

In 2023, Pan Pacific Singapore continued to evolve with the refurbishment of 476 rooms. The hotel also debuted the all-day dining restaurant, Pacific Emporium, serving local specialities and themed afternoon tea, alongside PLUME, the destination cocktail bar, featuring avian-inspired cocktails. 

The Ocean Ballroom and meeting rooms saw another refresh, featuring new luxury furnishings and advanced audiovisual technology. The hotel’s in-house butchery has also seen an expansion, from a single smokehouse in 1986 to three smokehouses today, supplying house-made cold cuts and cured meats to restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and hotels in Singapore.  

Pan Pacific Singapore also holds a number of notable firsts and cultural moments in its history. In 1986, Pan Pacific Singapore was the first hotel to introduce Network for Electronic Transfers Scheme (NETS) in Singapore, marking an early step towards cashless convenience. It also served as a filming location for the 1988 comedy film ‘Carry On Hotel’, featuring stars such as Jacky Cheung, Kent Cheng, Cherie Chung, Eric Tsang, and Joey Wang.

Digi Telecommunications (Digi) announced today that it now serves more areas in the Klang Valley, more than doubling the company’s LTE footprint in this area. This benefits the telco’s customers in the Klang Valley with consistent LTE services.

Albern Murty, Digi’s Chief Executive Officer said Digi’s effort to bring LTE services to more Malaysians nationwide echoes the government’s ambition to ensure greater access to Internet services for all. Together with Digi’s existing 3G coverage, bringing expanded LTE services in the Klang Valley is aligned to the Economic Transformation Programme’s (ETP's) call for improving broadband access for 80% of the populated areas in Greater Kuala Lumpur, with a target of a minimum speed of 
2Mbps.

“Our commitment to expand LTE coverage in the Klang Valley and across Malaysia reflects the company’s long term plans to continue investing heavily in its network to deliver Internet for all Malaysians,” said Murty. 

Digi aims to maintain this LTE rollout momentum in the coming years, focusing on areas with a strong demand for LTE services and devices, and where it serves to make a real difference in bringing Internet to more people nationwide. Digi’s 4G LTE services are currently available in the Klang Valley, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Labuan, Kuching, Miri, Bintulu, Kampar, Langkawi and Port Dickson.

The company also has a deep focus on improving network quality. In the next few quarters, Digi will simultaneously increase network coverage, boost capacity and significantly improve both the indoor and outdoor Internet experience in the Klang Valley.

“Our focus is to continue to ensure everyone has access to quality Internet services nationwide, fuelled by significant improvements in our network performance and coverage, the proliferation of a wider range of affordable smartphones bundles including choices under RM200, and innovative digital service offerings to fit different customer usage patterns,” Murty said.

Digi will be hosting a four-day roadshow starting today at One Utama, where customers can sign-up for the new range of LTE postpaid DG Smart Plans, iDiGi Plans and Broadband plans. Customers have a choice of premium devices like the iPhone 6 to more affordable options such as the Lenovo A606, Meizu MX 4 and Honor 6, available for free with selected DG Smart Plans. Existing Digi prepaid and postpaid customers can begin enjoying 4G LTE on their LTE-enabled devices with a free LTE SIM upgrade redeemable at the roadshow itself.

Customers will also enjoy Digi’s special 20th Anniversary RM1 million prizes giveaway for new and existing Digi customers who sign up or purchase items at the roadshow. Additional 20th anniversary promotions for Digi postpaid customers include up to RM240 rebate for 12 months or select range of free smartphones for new DG SmartPlan sign-ups; up to RM60 rebate for DG Smart Family plan for 12 months, and friends who switch to Digi will get up to RM200 extra rebates. Enterprise customers will also enjoy free MobiFis, smartphones and data for selected Biz Plus plans.

Manchester Business School prepares Global MBA students to lead businesses around the world

Top global businesses such as American Express, Citigroup, KPMG, Rolls Royce, SITA and Johnson & Johnson are interested in Global MBA graduates from Manchester Business School (MBS), says the education institution. 

MBS, founded in 1965, is the second oldest business school in the United Kingdom and is today the largest campus-based school in the country, with around 2,000 students. MBS has a further 3,500 students worldwide based in centres in Singapore, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai and Miami.

“I really believe that studying for an MBA at Manchester Business School equips business professionals with the tools and confidence they need to become business leaders. This is a development I have experienced personally and also seen in MBA colleagues,” said Glenn Carney, Head of Customer Business – Energy, Asia Pacific at Rolls Royce.

The attraction, is that MBS produces highly skilled graduates with experience in meeting real business challenges. 
Under the MBS Talent Management Partnership (TMP) programme, students work with high profile companies across the world, such as Daimler SEA, Deloitte and Huawei.

A typical semester will include up to three face-to-face workshops, delivered back-to-back at one of the MBS centres worldwide. Alongside this, students will attend online tutorials with e-tutors and classmates. 

Residential workshops provide at least 24 hours of face-to-face teaching per course (excluding online courses). During the academic year, these residential/intensive workshops are delivered in MBS' network of centres in the seven cities, over blocks of two to three months at a time. In Singapore, the workshops for 2014 were conducted from February to April and again from August to October.

The school recently held a gala dinner in Singapore to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Professor Fiona Devine, Head of Manchester Business School, commented at the occasion: “It is fitting that Singapore and Manchester Business School are both celebrating their Golden Jubilee in the same year given MBS’ strong and enduring partnership with Singapore. We look forward to sustaining and building upon this partnership into the next 50 years.” 

"The UK has a tradition of good quality education and is home to four of the top six universities in the world," Judi Leon, Director of UK Trade & Investment, Singapore added, noting that around 50,000 students in Singapore are studying for a UK qualification at the moment. "Manchester Business School is representative of the competitiveness, dynamism and global outlook of the UK education sector as a whole.”

Singapore is one of the top countries of origin for international students studying in the UK. Nearly 7,000 Singapore students are pursuing their higher education in the UK, and a further 52,000 students in Singapore are enrolled in UK distance learning courses. Each year, hundreds of students from Singapore enrol at the University of Manchester, and more than 400 students are currently pursuing their Global MBA at the MBS Singapore Centre. The MBA programme is the only UK qualification to be accredited by SPRING Singapore under the Capability Development Grant (CDG). 

MBS also has an ongoing partnership with the Singapore Institute of Management, which provides a two-year part-time management degree programme, which enrols approximately 70 students per year. The University Manchester also offers joint programmes with the Singapore Institute of Technology, NUS and A*STAR in a wide range of disciplines including nursing and engineering.
