Compass Point to become 1 Sengkang Mall

Singapore’s Compass Mall will be renamed 1 Sengkang Mall after a competition was held inviting the community to suggest a new brand.

The mall announced the new name on Facebook yesterday naming Lee Sook Fong as the person who came up with the winning entry. She wins a $1000 prize.

Rejected names included 1SM, Sengkang Central Mall, Sengkang Mall, One Sengkang, SengKang Square, One Sengkang Square, Sengkang One and #1 Sengkang Square.

Reaction to the new name on Facebook was mixed: “Compass Point was such a nice name.” So why change it, asked Anubhav Khanna.

“So, just in Sengkang itself, we have Seletar Mall, Rivervale Mall and now Sengkang Mall, so boring,” observed Disapora Ooi.

Compass Mall has been closed for renovation since October and will reopen next year.
