Channel NewsAsia presents Electric Dream

2:56 AM 0
Channel NewsAsia presents Electric Dream
Channel NewsAsia Presents :

·         Premieres Wednesday, 31 January 2018
·         8pm (SIN/KL/MNL) / 7pm (BKK/JKT) / 10.30pm (DEL)


Here’s the trailer here :- https://youtu.be/w9HI-8kN5gU

Watch ELECTRIC DREAM online from 24 January : - https://www.channelnewsasia.com/electric-dream


This is one of the fastest electric hypercars on earth.

With its bold tear-drop shape and even bolder technological ambitions, the Dendrobium has taken the automotive world by storm. Garnering acclaim are its startling 320 kph top speed, a spectacular design that has its roof and doors open up like an orchid, and, most notably, the fact that this car is created by an unknown startup from Singapore.

The company is Vanda Electrics, whose 12 employees are made up of mostly fresh graduates with zero experience in building cars. The chief designer comes closest with his resume – he had designed toys. With little capital, not much experience and, some may say, too many unrealistic dreams, Vanda Electrics has no business getting into the highly competitive car business.  

But they had the gumption to turn to Williams Advanced Engineering - the big-name British manufacturer behind the F1 racing team - to turn their electric dream into reality. The aim was to make the Dendrobium a brand-making project that would draw worldwide attention to their other products – an electric scooter, an electric utility truck and battery packs.

The Dendrobium made an international splash with her debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2017.  


 Response was overwhelming. The press loved it and news of the hypercar was featured in autoblogs around the world. That was when the Vanda team realised they could actually move their concept car into production. But this would require more money than they have. If they fail, Vanda will become a footnote in the history of electric cars. But if they succeed, this little company would disrupt the world’s automotive industry and possibly herald a new era in made-in-Singapore innovations.

ELECTRIC DREAM is Channel NewsAsia’s documentary about this little startup from Singapore with the mega ambitions.  With unique assess to the team, it charts the Dendrobium’s journey from Singapore to Geneva, gets on the circuit with CEO Larissa Tan, and finds out how the factories in China are helping to deliver Vanda’s other star products.


Larissa Tan, CEO of Vanda Electrics


Larissa is a key figure in the founding of Vanda Electrics. She, along with a research team, created a company specialising in electric vehicles. This would place them on the forefront of an unstoppable trend – the rise of electric vehicles.
Today, Larissa’s deep knowledge of marketing is being put to the test. Her task is to capitalise on the acclaim that the Dendrobium has garnered at the world’s premier motor show, and parlay it into a global marketing campaign that will sell the hypercar. The clock has started ticking.
The Vanda team has 18 months to roll out the first car, and during this time, Larissa has to make sure that the initial buzz over the Dendrobium does not fizzle out. Besides the hypercar, Larissa will also launch the Motochimp electric scooter in Japan. Being a startup, their marketing budget is far too small for their bold ambitions. How will Larissa come up with unconventional methods to reach out to potential customers and get investments? Can Vanda Electrics overcome these roadblocks and help usher in a clean, zero-emissions future?

Publico Ristorante opens at The Quayside

Publico Ristorante opens at The Quayside
The city’s freshest riverfront dining destination serves authentic Italian cuisine with a contemporary touch


Singapore, December 2017 – Representing the central core of Italian culture, Publico Ristorante has opened its doors to serve mouth-watering Italian dishes in a breezy setting overlooking the Singapore River. The restaurant is the third and final concept of the multi-faceted gourmet playground, PUBLICO, to open at The Quayside.

image005.png@01D36923.1F5878E0Interiors are inspired by modern Italian architecture, which is brought to life through intricate masonry details at the bar, a bold geometric granite floor from Italy, and custom furniture pieces made by award-winning New York design firm, AvroKO. A focal point of the indoor area are roaring twin pizza ovens, where a selection of bar seats are available to get up close to the action. 

Taking inspiration from the al fresco piazzas dotted along Italy’s coastline, floor to ceiling windows and doors flow open onto the leafy terrace to give the illusion of a garden experience from the indoor dining area. The interior design further blurs the line between inside and out with oversized earthen and concrete planters sprinkled throughout, and a sprawling wine bar on the periphery of the venue with large windows that cantilever open to the terrace - an elegant riverside dining destination with soft lighting and lush greenery. 

Menu highlights include the signature Risotto “alla Milanese” with saffron, pecorino cheese and red wine reduction, and wood fired pizzas including the Baci e Ricotto - a delicious creation of homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, smoked scamorza, shavings of pork belly and crumbled ricotta. The authentic yet contemporary menu was imagined by Executive Chef Marco Turatti, who refined his expertise in culinary institutions across Italy, before bringing his personalised Italian touch to Publico Ristorante. To complement the food menu, the curated wine list takes guests on a journey through Italy, from full bodied Chiantis from Tuscany to crisp white Pinot Grigios from Friuli, while the sophisticated drinks menu features housemade Vermouth and artisan cocktails such as Negronis on tap.


As the third concept in a trio of Italian dining experiences, the Ristorante is joined by Publico Deli, a rustic establishment reminiscent of the bustling eateries and pavement cafes of Italian neighbourhoods. After dark, Publico Deli undergoes a metamorphosis into two new concepts. This day-to-night transition turns the venue into a sophisticated night-time destination: the front half, signposted by the neon PUBLICO DELI sign, serves indulgent Italian sweet treats, such as the house special Tiramisu pots. Hidden behind the back wall of the Dessert Café, neighbourhood bar Marcello creates Italian craft cocktails inspired by the early to mid 20th century. Marcello emanates the glamour of 1960’s Milan, and with Southeast Asia’s largest collection of Amari, it’s the city’s best kept secret to start or end an evening in style. 

Publico Ristorante is open for dinner every night, 6pm to 11pm.

K.L. Boys Win Million Dollar Feet™ Football Competition

K.L. Boys Win Million Dollar Feet™ Football Competition

PETALING JAYA, 6 NOVEMBER 2017 – For two talented young Malaysians, their decision to sign up for a football competition may be one which could possibly change their lives forever. Wan Muhammad Irfan Bin Wan Nizar and Muhammad Diniz Bin Irwan, both from Kuala Lumpur, were selected as winners for the second season of Million Dollar Feet™, the ultimate contest in Malaysia to discover the best talents in the country aged 11 to 16.

The two lads each won the grand prize – an all-expense paid trip to the United Kingdom where they will have the million-dollar opportunity of a lifetime to showcase their prowess for scouts from top European clubs and football academies, with the possibility of signing a deal.

Present at the Grand Finals to honour the two winners with their prizes was Deputy Minister of Education, Yang Berhormat Dato’ Kamalanathan a/l Panchanathan.

The two winners will follow in the footsteps of Adam Roshan Kris Azman and Mohd Yusry Haziq, winners of the inaugural season of Million Dollar Feet™ last year. Following their performance in front of scouts in the United Kingdom, they were each awarded an exclusive two-year scholarship from one of Europe’s top football academies – Brooke House Football Academy – worth a collective total of RM1 million.


Throughout this second season, more than 10,000 hopefuls collectively attended the five tryout sessions held in five states around the country – Penang, Kelantan, Sarawak, Johor and Kuala Lumpur. Two finalists were selected from each state to participate in the Grand Finals today. Finalists from each state were as follows:

However, it was Wan Muhammad Irfan Bin Wan Nizar and Muhammad Diniz Bin Irwan who ultimately impressed the judging panel led by Million Dollar Feet™ Head Coach, former Liverpool legend Steve McMahon.

“It was certainly a great run and this time around, we witnessed some top-notch talent among these participants, worthy enough to shine in the international arena, given the right platform and guidance,” said McMahon.

“Our immediate task at hand is to prepare these two boys to give those scouts in the UK the best performance of their lives yet – and hopefully sign a contract with either a football club or a football academy. Either way, it’s going to be a springboard for their footballing career,” he added.


“This is what Million Dollar Feet™ is all about – going right down to the grassroots to find the best talents and football. They’re out there, just waiting to shine. And we’re here to find it,” said Peter de Kretser, Founder and Director of Football of Million Dollar Feet.

“Our thanks go out to our sponsors and supporters including the Education Ministry and YB Kamalanathan for helping make these young dreams come true, which all of Malaysia can and should certainly be proud of,” he added.

He added that already, there are talks and plans to take Million Dollar Feet™ into other Asian countries, as representation from these nations within the big European leagues is scarce.

“Hopefully, one day, the next Lionel Messi or Christiano Ronaldo may just come from this part of the world. In essence, that’s what we’re trying to do here at Million Dollar Feet,” said De Kretser.

This second season of Million Dollar Feet™ is presented by BABA’S with the support of the Ministry of Education, Malaysia and the British High Commission, Kuala Lumpur. Sponsors include Etihad Airways, Brickfields Asia College (BAC), TGV Cinemas, National Kidney Foundation, Anita, LAC Printing, and 100 Plus.

ABOUT MILLION DOLLAR FEET™

Million Dollar Feet™ is an unprecedented opportunity to make dreams come true. Some call it “The Voice” of football. Others are hailing it as the ultimate opportunity of taking home-grown Malaysian talent into the international football arena.
