Ah sorry, glanced over your question and misread it. I actually don't think there is anything interesting outside the lounge. There are some massage services. But nothing really beyond the usual shopping. Yes, SIN has a LOT. Pool, cinema, etc. But not IST.

No, you won't debate it. But you'll still be a smart-... and instead of just rolling your eyes on a stupid post, you'll flame it.

Why? With the new road, access to the city is much faster. Unless you're thinking of security issues.
