Changi T3 vertical green wall is a disgrace

[Lydia]

Before the new terminal airport opened, T3 boasted it'd the latest green thing - a wall of live plants. I couldn't wait to see it. Alas, what we've got is so pathetic, it should be called not a wall but a see-thru beaded curtain. 'Wall' suggests dense planting, impenetrability and yet all one sees is a thin screen of 1 miserly variety of creeper clinging to some cable.

Ok, I realise we're going for low maintenance, low budget - there's not a soft fabric covered seat in sight in our MRT - but surely a world class airport deserves a top class vertical green wall. After all that boasting, tourists will be expecting something spectacular. Refer to www.environmentalgraffiti.com.

Even an amateur gardener like Albert Quek can do it better. See his wall at www.gardeningwithwilson.com. After all that dazzling display of orchids at T2, this wall is such a huge letdown.

Could I be mistaken, is there another super green wall somewhere at T3 I don't know about?

Changio aiport is run by CAAS and you know CAAS has a lot of SAF general and colonel ! So you know why there must be a camouflaege green !

I find it very funny that Spores airport has become another shopping malls, gardens,...

If all these non-essentials lower the cost of air travel then I'm all for it. However I notice that the airport tax for Changi is one of the most expensive.

Obviously all airport users are paying for these experiments

... there's not a soft fabric covered seat in sight in our MRT.....

Soft fabric? Why not carpet in every MRT and bus? Might as well add a toilet in it!

You want millions of bugs to match those millions of Ah Nehs, Banglas, Ah Chyes and Ah meimei using the MRT trains?

T2 and T3 outdoors is fabulous. Lots of pink and orange bougainvillea blossoms spilling everywhere. Even the grass looks like a perfect green carpet. I don't know how they do it, it's like this all year through.
