Do you know what F J Benjamin does? They are nothing more than a distributor for Celine, Banana Republic, Gap, Guess, Gerard-Perregaux, Rado etc fashion and watches...
Why are they in Sc Park? What research are they doing in Science Park? KNN!
Science Park has become nothing more than a property company that rents out places for highest bidder... I won't be surprise next time got metro, Tangs, Takashimaya, KTVs in Sc Park too...
This is really a disgrace to Singapore's asperation to develop its own high tech industry...

This is not a new thing. I'm doing my internship in science park now, in the level I am, there is only one engineering firm(which is the one I'm working at) doing research and projects, the rest about 8 firms are involved in non-research area like HR, Purchasing, rep office for big corp, head hunting firm. Even Thomas Reuters have a building there(it's a farking building, not a office or a level.)
The only building where you see science going on is DSTA or DSO, the rest, you see more OLs than scientist or engineer.
Sci Pk is just a overglorified office space.
