I was very impressed with the minimalist design and open space concept adopted by the architects and designers. However, other than a large mechanical spinning windmill, the available space is not well used to reflect Singapore.

For one thing, there is a stark absence of Singapore artworks to reflect and promote our art and culture to the millions of international tourists who visit each year.

Both Changi Airport and Singapore Airlines (the main user of Terminal 3) are two large Singapore multi-national companies (MNCs) that are famous around the world.

Is promoting Singapore art and culture too costly an exercise? Or is the perceived return on investment in Singapore art and culture too low for the two organisations? I am sure the spinning windmill is not a cheap investment either.

As organisations that carry the Singapore name, can Changi Airport and SIA comment on their position and perceived role in promoting Singapore art and culture?
