THE PRESIDENT of Peru Alan Garcia will open the annual and 16th Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum and Economic Leaders Summit on November 22, in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.

The president and principal architect of Tange Associates, Japan and son of the late Kenzo Tange, designs Tower 2 of One Raffles Place in Singapore — 20 years after his father designed the first tower, OUB Centre Raffles Place
IT’S A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be invited to design a new tower right next to a landmark skyscraper your father designed 20 years ago. Such an opportunity presented itself to Japanese architect, Paul Tange, the president and principal architect of Tange Associates. And the project in question is the $364 million, 38-storey Tower 2 at One Raffles Place in the heart of Singapore’s historic financial district, next door to OUB Centre. The latter was designed by his father the late Kenzo Tange, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 91.

THE FERRARI team did not have a good outing at the recent Formula One Grand Prix held in Singapore.
But, Alberto Torres, a friend and supporter of the Ferrari team, probably isn’t too upset by its performance as the president of luxury mobile phone maker, Vertu, has something much bigger to celebrate.
TO THE millions who witness the election of the first African-American President of the United States, the world superpower, the message goes beyond the historic story of how a country founded on inalienable individual rights, equality and freedom eventually triumphed over issues of race and colour, and how, in a can-do country, a young state senator can become president in just four years.
