 Asia Times: A new era in Asian shipping: Car Rentals at www.The-Car-Reservations-Desk.com
In August 2000, Danish shipping giant Maersk Sealand confirmed it was shifting its transshipment/hub operations from Singapore to Malaysia's spanking new southern port, Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) in Johor, having purchased a 30 percent stake in PTP from PTP's holding company, Seaport Terminal Sdn Bhd, for an undisclosed amount.
The shift is believed to be the biggest single move in the port industry in Southeast Asia, and it will guarantee PTP an annual volume of two million teus in 2001, as well as serve as a catalyst to attract other major carriers.
Singapore played down the Maersk move, saying it involved just a small percentage of total cargo, and pointing out that the line's headquarters will remain in Singapore.

 Guggenheim Collection - Artist - Gursky - Singapore Stock Exchange
There is a documentary impulse behind Gursky’s work, one inherited from his German forebears—August Sander, the early 20th-century encyclopedic chronicler of occupational typologies, and his own professors, Bernd and Hilla Becher, who systematically record architectural relics of the industrial age.
Gursky’s subject matter is late-capitalist society and the systems of exchange that organize it, and his practice is equally totalizing and taxonomic.
He digitally manipulates his images—combining discrete views of the same subject, deleting extraneous details, enhancing colors—to create a kind of “assisted realism.” The traders on the floor of the Singapore stock exchange, in Gursky’s version, all wear the same shade of red, yellow, or blue jacket.
