Deceptive Advertising #2

While having breakfast at Serangoon Garden this morning, someone gave me a brochure for an upcoming condominium near my place - Cardiff Residence, which is located along Lorong Chuan. Since I was very familiar with this area, I looked at the condo location more carefully and was rather appalled by how misleading the brochure is.

This is a picture of the brochure.


Stamford American International School and Australian International School are actually located further down Lorong Chuan road, but this was still acceptable. What I couldn't accept is where they placed Serangoon MRT station and NEX Shopping Mall. Google Maps shall be our judge for reality in this post.

Google Maps. Green circle = original location of Serangoon MRT and NEX. Red circle = developer/agent's location of Serangoon MRT and NEX

So according to the brochure, Serangoon MRT station and NEX have been transported around 1km away from their original location at Upper Serangoon Road to along Serangoon Avenue 2 and Boundary Road. While they did include a disclaimer - "This artist's impression is preliminary only and should not be considered as representation of facts" - this is just too blatantly wrong and false.
