Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Not every tourist had an opportunity to visit the Istana as it is typically open to the public only 5 times a year. But the Istana Heritage Gallery compensates those who missed the Istana with a meticulously detailed write-up on the history of this neo-Palladian style building since her birth.
I had visited the Istana on several occasions but it is this gallery that really enlightened me on her history than the Istana grounds.
It was pure coincidence to bump into this gallery. I was attending a computer class at MDIS Orchard Campus and was early for my class and I decided to detour and walk around the greenery in the Istana Park. And I found this little jewel in the middle of the greenery. However, the gallery is open only from 10 am and will close at 6 pm. When my class dismissed at 5 pm, I decided to drop by to visit the gallery.
The gallery was not very big. It gave me an impression of an exhibition hall than a gallery. I was a bit disappointed but then, I met Ms Jean, an enthusiastic volunteer who was on duty at the gallery. She was friendly and was patient to accompany me for a gallery tour and was very keen to explain the significance of the numerous exhibits on display and on the various gifts from foreign dignitaries presented to our Presidents.
It was the first time I came to know that the construction of the Istana owed much to the labor of the convicts who were deported from elsewhere by the British colonial government. I also learnt that the Istana was the residence of the British governor before it became the office of our first President, Some of the gifts from foreign dignitaries were impressive and the gifts showed the amount of respect we gained as an independent nation though geographically, we are a tiny nation..
The history of the Istana is a mirror of the relentless struggle of our people against foreign domination. The British governors once lived here and the Japanese imperialists once occupied this building. But now it is the office of our democratically elected President and Prime Minister and we hope it shall remain in the hands of our people and our government.
While the gallery is small, it illustrates the history of the Istana and the struggle of our nation.
The gallery is just opposite the Istana and the Plaza Singapura. It is also besides Dhoby Ghaut MRT station. Admission is free for both locals and foreigners.

Perhaps not a must see but if you made the effort to go and see Istana (which you cant) then just walk over to this centre in the gardens opposite the Istana Main Gate.
Exhibits are somewhat limited and centre around the history of the Presidential Palace, its occupiers and visitors.
However the young lady "guide" was most welcoming and was keen to take us around, answer our questions and listen to our stories on the South African exhibits.
The photo shoot opportunity in the mock up Istana private wing drawing room was quite novel for such a centre.
Its a good idea that breaks the ice with visitors and leads to a
more relaxed interaction.
Even presented with a bookmark with a DIY Presidential Seal Embossed on it:-).

我從來沒有去過總統府。那是因為它是在我不在新加坡的時候，某些公眾假期開放。所以我藉此機會參觀公園和這個展覽廳。在這裡，您可以窺見國過去和現在的總統和總理，從國外貴賓處獲得的國家禮物，遺產展示，國家文物，藝術品，等。它也解釋了總統的憲法，儀式和社區角色。不幸的是，出於安全原因，它沒有像華盛頓白宮那樣，顯示總統府裡面的佈局和裝飾。

This is a newly opened gallery tucked into a quiet part along the busy Orchard Road. It is located opposite the main gate of the Istana and a shopping mall, Plaza Singapore, and is served by the Dhoby Ghaut MRT and public buses stopping at Plaza Singapura. It is open daily less Wednesday.
The small Gallery retraces the history of Istana, which housed past colonial Governors of Singapore to being the official residence of the President of Singapore.
Built by Indian convicts of the British Empire, a statue "Mandor" (meaning supervisor in Malay) became a spiritual guardian which was painted over to look like an Indian man although it was originally bore the looks a Malay man. There is an interesting video of this mandor via Istana Trail found in a nifty app - LocoMole. There are flyers in the gallery to guide how to download the app and to use the app.
There is a large black and white map which doesn't tell you much till you use the app and it reveals interesting before/after photos via augmented reality.
Personally, I like the story of how an Istana drink was concocted using fruits and herbs found within the Istana grounds. Apparently, a sorbet was also recently launched.
Overall, an interesting visit to understand the high office of the President of Singapore, view the gifts from various Heads of State, and use technology to interact with the exhibits. Friendly guides are at hand to explain more and assist you.
