Singapore is a Hub Island.
I think the first time the word 'hub' was widely used in Singapore was when the Starhub company was formed.
Since then, it seems that everyone has been using it - from the public to the private sector. So much for us wanting to be a 'creative hub'. It's true. it seems that when it comes to names, there seems to be a lack of creativity, to the point where it sounds so copycat-ish. (take that for a new word).
try googling for "hub singapore" and you'll find....
starhub
International Enterprise hub
education hub
islamic hub
arts hub
sports hub
singapore land data hub
regional medical hub
healthcare hub
high value manufacturing hub
eventshub.sg
food hub
hdb hub
ang mo kio hub

heritage hubsamsung hub
talent attraction hub (A*Star)
creative hub
IT hub
legal hub
logistics hub
aerospace hub

infocomm hub
maid information hub...
they are all linked to singapore... we've got buildings as hubs, agencies as hubs, companies as hubs, and the whole country is supposed to be many hubs at the same time.
henceforth, i have decided to name this blog "hub-island".
cheers!
