IKEA Singapore Småles Parliament – Kids Rule!

IKEA Marketing Manager for Singapore Lars Svensson really believes that “children are the most important people in the world,” and he’s showing how strongly IKEA believes it through the launch of Småles Parliament – a children’s club for kids between 4 and 10 to “express their views and embark on projects” that make a difference.

IKEA’s Småles Parliament initiative is to let children know that their opinions matter and their views are taken seriously. The projects will provide the children a chance to be involved in social and environmental issues, as well as to instill a sense of ownership.

“It is important to let children know that their opinions matter and that they, even at their young age, can make a positive difference.

Some projects in store include paper recycling, animal adoption at the Singapore Zoo, and the opportunity to run their own businesses at the Annual Smaland Christmas Bazaar. Other ideas include donation drives ands suprise birthday parties for the less fortunate, an annual fun fair on Småland National Day and an exchange library at Småland.

The first parliament meeting was held November 23rd at IKEA Tampines. Read more about it here: IKEA’s New Smaland Government

    Dear Sir/Mdm LOCATING YOUR STORE IN NEW MEGA MALL IN CENTRAL SERANGOON LOCATED ON NEL/CIRCLE LINE MRT INTERCHANGE

    Has your company any plan to locate your store above mega mall scheduled to be completed in October, 2010?

    This new mega mall is bigger than Ang Mio Kio Hub and Junction 8 combined. The mall will have a total net lettable area of slightly more than 618,000 sq ft. It is also linked to a new 16-bay bus interchange will take up part of the mall’s ground floor. It will boast a 24-hour zone with shops, food and beverage outlets, a 10-screen cineplex, a 60,000 sq ft hypermarket and a 10,000 sq ft gourmet supermarket.

    If not, I would strongly recommend that you have your store there for the following reasons and benefits:

    1) Being a MRT Interchange and a Bus Interchange (centrally and strategically located,) it can expect to attract about 2 million shoppers each month from its primary and secondary catchments areas such as Serangoon, Bishan, Ang Moh Kio, Toa Payoh, Novena, Kallang, Geylang, Paya Lebar, Hougang, Sengkang and Punggol.

    2)The enviromentally friendly mall will also make use of energy-saving and water-efficient system.

    . 3).Suburban rents will remain fairly resilent,going ahead.
