These qualities guide our approach to creating inclusive, future-ready spaces that reflect our city's dynamism and care for people. Our developments – both in Singapore and across 20 countries – are built with purpose, and a deep respect for diverse communities. We are proud of our heritage in Singapore and this is reflected in how we brand our suburban malls, which act as social hubs in the communities we serve. Hui Choon Kit: F&N's journey reflects Singapore's transformation into a vibrant, innovation-driven nation. Shaped by values of multiculturalism, resilience and excellence, we embrace innovation, build trusted brands that serve evolving community needs, and grow with purpose. This entrepreneurial mindset has guided our evolution – our beginnings in soft drinks to a diverse portfolio spanning non-alcoholic beverages, beer, publishing and printing. Staying true to our roots, we continue to enrich lives at home and across ASEAN and beyond. What role has your company played in shaping Singapore's urban transformation? Soon Su Lin: We're proud to play a key role in the Singapore story, building spaces where one can work, live and play, all within the vicinity.

They reflect our commitment to national health goals and nurturing healthier generations. Everyday hydration with 100PLUS.

In 1931, we co-founded APB with Heineken, playing a key role in building Tiger Beer into a globally recognised brand, rooted in Singapore's brewing heritage – a legacy we remain proud of today. Beyond beverages, we have contributed to Singapore's knowledge economy through Marshall Cavendish Education ('MCE'), now empowering educators in over 95 countries.

This strong foundation, rooted in Singapore's spirit of innovation and excellence, has sharpened our expertise and enabled us to grow confidently across ASEAN, where our brands are now widely recognised. Building on this, we have also championed Singapore's education excellence through MCE – starting in local classrooms and now empowering educators in over 95 countries, bringing innovative learning solutions and Singapore's hallmark of educational excellence worldwide.

We are committed to sustainable value creation that delivers financial performance and positive societal impact. ESG considerations are embedded throughout our value chain, from planning to operations and partnerships, ensuring our spaces are resilient and future-ready. Real estate must go beyond economic value to foster well-being, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship. Looking ahead, we aim to share Singapore-born solutions across our footprint, amplifying our impact.

‘Mamma Mia!' fans can enjoy a Mediterranean pre-theater dinner this summer
'Mamma Mia!' fans are eagerly awaiting its return to Broadway. When it arrives, they'll have the option of visiting a nearby restaurant for a Mediterranean pre-theater dinner. Coming back to thrill audiences this summer for a limited engagement, the popular play takes place on a made-up Greek island and centers on a woman named Sophie. It's the day before her wedding, and she has aspirations to have her father walk her down the aisle. There's a twist, though. She doesn't know who her dad is. Hilarity, heartfelt moments, and musical numbers ensue. First appearing on Broadway in 2001, this play has mesmerized and entertained countless people for more than two decades. It's returning (beginning with previews on August 2) with an opening night of August 14 at the Winter Garden Theatre. It will run until February 1, 2026. If you have tickets, instead of simply strolling into the theatre with a rumbly, empty stomach, you can stop by IRIS, Chef John Fraser's Greek concept in Midtown, for a curated, themed, pre-theater dinner. Located within a five-minute walk of the Winter Garden Theatre, IRIS will be offering a three-course pre-theater 'Mamma Mia!'-themed menu for $60 per person. Starters include a Greek wedge salad with baby iceberg lettuce, chickpeas, and a feta-dill dressing, spiced lamb flatbread with chili, sumac, and cilantro, or grilled octopus with antep chili-tomato spice, kumquat spoon sweet. Entrees include wild mushroom pastitsio, grilled branzino, or saffron-yogurt roasted chicken. Desserts designed to be shared with the whole table include pistachio baklava and Aegean sweets. This theater-themed menu features more than mouthwatering food. It also features a trio of tiny 'Mamma Mia'-themed martinis priced at $28 for all three, or $10 each. These include Donna's Martini, made with Perry's Tot Gin, Roots Mastic Vintage Strength, and olive bitters; Sophie's Martini, a Pistachio Lemon Drop; and Rosie and Tanya's Martini, a take on a strawberry rhubarb daiquiri. So, if you're planning to attend "Mamma Mia!" on Broadway this summer, make a reservation at IRIS for an epic Greek feast that will prepare you for the music and wonder to come. You'll be glad you did and so will your stomach.

This Times Square Tropical Paradise Unveils Theatrical New Menu
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square below, The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens is a tropical oasis in the heart of New York City. Known for its stunning interiors and innovative dishes, it's a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. And, for the first time ever, the vibrant restaurant has given its menu a full overhaul. The result? A ton of theatrical flair that will evoke the senses. Located on the ninth floor of the luxurious five-star Times Square Edition, The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens transports diners to a tranquil paradise. Helmed by Michelin-starred Chef John Fraser, the new menu features seasonal favorites along with reinvented classics that give a fresh perspective on traditional French and American cuisine. 'The new Spring menu was inspired by the rhythm of the season itself — its sense of renewal, brightness and delicate abundance. The menu is a celebration of ingredients at their peak, designed to feel both elegant and alive,' said Chef Fraser. According to Fraser, the restaurant's interior, which is outfitted with towering trees, ambient lanterns and rugged wooden furnishings, serves as both muse and mirror to the menu. 'Its palette of soft greens and natural textures, combined with filtered sunlight and florals, evokes the feeling of dining within a landscape. We designed the dishes to echo that — vibrant, tactile, and grounded in nature,' he explained. 'You'll see edible flowers, herbaceous oils, and compositions that feel almost botanical in their arrangement,' While the previous menu emphasized symmetry and formality, Fraser said that the Spring menu leans into spontaneity and softness. 'There's a sense of looseness in the plating, allowing ingredients to breathe and unfold visually,' he noted. 'The presentation is more organic, more seasonal in spirit, and more connected to the story we're telling now,' Standout entrées include Spring Lamb Ravioli, complete with minted ricotta and fresh peas and garnished with edible flowers. The bold Aphrodite's Cup cocktail is a refreshing wine berry sorbet with pierre ferrand, mommmenpop grapefruit sparkling rosé and pomegranate seeds. For dessert, the eye-catching Frozen S'mores amps up the theatrics. It comes out smoked with a cloud puff, and is torched tableside for an Instagram-able moment. 'We think of theater as an extension of storytelling—not spectacle for spectacle's sake. We all know that we eat with our eyes before our stomach and we really wanted to elevate the visual experience,' Fraser explained. 'Just as we eat with our eyes before our mouths, we aim to elevate the visual experience in a way that deepens the flavor. For example, a smoked cloche may lift to reveal our version of s'mores. It's a moment, but it always leads back to flavor.' The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens dinner menu is available to enjoy daily at Times Square Edition from 5pm through 9:30pm.
