Singapore consumers identify their favourite brands

By Kash Cheong

Twenty-seven brands - including SingTel, The Straits Times and Samsung - won the Superbrands awards at a prize-giving ceremony on Monday.

These brands were identified by Singapore consumers as their favourite brand within a respective product or service category. The results were based on a survey by independent market research company BDRC Asia, which polled 1,500 Singapore consumers aged 18 to 55 about their favourite brands across 106 product and service categories.

Winners include SingTel in the telecommunications and Internet service provider category, Samsung for televisions and Jean Yip in spa and beauty salons.

The Straits Times was voted Singapore's favourite newspaper for the third time, trumping seven other newspapers such as The New Paper, My Paper, Lianhe Zaobao, The Business Times, Berita Herian, Shin Min and Today.

Singapore's taxis have been ranked the best in the world by Singaporeans, according to Hotels.com's annual global taxi survey.
Citizens have ranked Singapore's taxis above other Asian, American and European cities, following a range of criteria.
Cleanliness was the top scoring factor for Singapore's taxis, with 51 per cent of respondents ranking Singapore's taxis top for cleanliness, followed by 49 per cent ranking them highly for safety, then friendliness (24%), knowledge of the area (21%), quality of driving (21%) and availability (21%).
This ranking comes despite complains by passengers, which include failing to get a taxi via the booking hotline or app, taxi drivers unfamiliar with routes, and taxi drivers turning down passengers for various reasons.
According to the annual global taxi survey by Hotels.com, Singapore's taxis are ranked eighth in the world, alongside Bangkok and Bogota.
Coming in first place are London's taxis, with 22 per cent of the votes from 2,683 respondents across 30 countries. London's taxis were also voted the best in terms of cleanliness (23%), knowledge (27%), quality (30%), friendliness (23%), and safety (27%).

Etihad 'withdrawing from Skytrax'

Made me smile...

Etihad Airways is withdrawing from Skytrax, the airline has announced.

The carrier made the decision to leave the airline/airport ranking website, including the Skytrax World Airline Awards and the Skytrax Audit, after carrying out a review of "the criteria and measurement of the Skytrax Airline Rating System".

A statement said: "The measurement of customer satisfaction and feedback is important to Etihad Airways.

"The airline subscribes to monthly industry research and undertakes comprehensive monthly surveys to monitor customer satisfaction, using the insights to continually improve its products and services."

And yet, so many kids on here keep quoting it.
