lundi, septembre 04, 2006 Singapore 2006, IMF and the World Bank  I'm extremely bemused by this.I've been taking an extraordinary number of taxis these days, and meeting a large number of people, and one of the most tiresome things is actually telling people that the IMF and the World Bank are not behind the 4 million smiles campaign, nor is it their idea to close Nicoll Highway. I'm just shocked at how badly the average Singaporean is completely mangling this IMF-World Bank meetings, and how poorly the Singapore 2006 team has educated the average man on the street, who is constantly referring to the Annual Meetings as "the IMF". Better yet are the emails in my Inbox which read "the IMF thingy." I've also just read this thread on a photographer's forum which featured a number of photographers who were given the opportunity to cover the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings, and there were some grouses about copyright and pay/allowance. Someone accused the IMF of being tight-fisted with the cash, "considering that they have the word MONETARY in their name." That's like saying Paris Hilton should look like a hotel "considering that she has the name of a hotel." Singapore bid for the project, just as Beijing and London and Paris were bidding for the Olympic sites. So whatever hoops you have to jump through to get into Suntec City, whatever problems you're facing with whatever, if you're sick of the Singapore 2006 logo or ad or campaign or whatever: take it up with Singapore 2006, not the other two organisations. Take it up with them! :) [Singapore 2006, IMF and the World Bank] |
