In turn, CapitaLand Singapore Head of Coalition Reuben Yong said: "We are confident that our collaboration with Singapore Airlines and KrisFlyer will create a more diverse, flexible and holistic experience for more than 1.1 million CapitaStar members."

The conversion programme would also allow KrisFlyer and CapitaStar members to convert between miles and STAR$ through the companies' respective websites and mobile apps.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
