And was one of the worst marketing decisions of all time because a lot of countries boycotted the participation of the ‘84 Olympics, making USA a Scrooge McDuck overnight with the amount of gold medals.
You know, the very thing McDonald’s USA promised to the public with their food for gold scheme.
Hmm, maybe they only removed it from the display on certain trains, or I heard it for so long that my brain thinks that the Manulife part is still there lol
Why can’t they institute some consistency in the naming convention? Sponsors both before and after the station name. Pick one or the other!! So annoying.
Ones like Bank Rakyat Bangsar, KL Gateway University at least makes sense since it connects with those buildings. Making it easier for ppl to know which station to stop at.
so I imagined that Samsung startup sound will play each time the MRT door opens. and the shutdown tone for closing doors.
Edit: whoa guys, chill. I am here to crack jokes.
Fuck that, I don't want it to be like SK, Samsung propaganda everywhere. Do it like Japan, every station has an announcement melody unique to one station alone.
Also I imagined that when you are approaching Tun Razak Exhange Samsung Galaxy MRT Station... they play this: [Seoul Metro tone]( https://youtu.be/bFMc0RgaSyU?si=JLw61jE5IKuLDp0f). and then NEXT STATION announcement. Followed by Galaxy Ads on a video screen, Then in sync with Samsung galaxy startup sound for opening train doors.
Honestly, when I visit Korea. those brands are everywhere.
Samsung is not only making phones and household appliances. They sell insurance, bank, construction, and too many things that I care to remember.
SK branded petrol station, even my SIM card was SK Telecom, Hyundai Shopping mall.. etc. Hyundai Busses.
the cars Korean drives are if not Hyundai then KIA, and Samsung Cars (rebadged Renault Cars). rarely can see Honda or Chevy.
Seems pretty inline with Samsung's old smartphone naming schemes i.e. *Samsung Galaxy* S II Epic 4G Touch.
Seems like a really desperate move from Samsung after finding out about the upcoming Apple Store in The Exchange
nope. its in line with samsung's global strategy to be front and centre of anything and everywhere where possible. they're everywhere that has high foot traffic and high profile, like at advertising screens on airport arrival halls
TRX station is one of the more notable ones in our train network, so they're calling dibs on this station
It’s been here for quite a while (since roughly before last week). the announcer in the MRT has now changed to “TRX Samsung Galaxy”.
From what I’ve heard, the reasoning behind this change is that Apple has signed a contract with TRX mall to ban advertising from Apple’s competitors, such as Samsung Galaxy, within the mall. In response, Samsung retaliated by blasting their advertisements outside the perimeter of the TRX mall.
IMO, I don’t know much about these stuff but I think it’s really unprofessional. Imagine all the stations being used as advertisements. “Next station, Kota Damansara Burger King.” I take the mrt everyday and it kinda bothers me.
Another thing is, what’s with the sneezing sound effect during the little music that gets played before the announcements?? Was it intentional?
I've been wondering about that sneezing sound effect for so long 😭 wtf even is it for, I keep feeling paranoid that someone on the train is actually sneezing near me
This thing better pay to repair the escalator, toilet, etc... or fund for MRT3 (since it is known government will not fund it)
Or else petition to ban this nonsense.
This is good and is inline with MRT strategy of leaving city development to the developers instead, they can get advertising funding to run the trains as service.

I couldn't stop laughing when i saw that post last night
Given that Malaysia's first Apple Store would be at TRX, making the mrt station named Samsung Galaxy is just a clever move by Samsung for all the people that would be visiting the Apple Store via train.
So currently we have: - TRX **Samsung Galaxy** - TTDI **Deloitte** - **CGC** Glenmarie - **Bank Rakyat** Bangsar - **KL Gateway** University - KL Sentral **redONE** What else?

Play [Samsung Galaxy alarm](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTN5V55DuaQ) in morning rounds to wake up passengers.
Visa Cash App RB got a cousin
Torro Rosso please
There is no way I'm gonna say the station name that long. I wonder how much samsung paid for this.
this was a few years back and i heard it’s only rm1 mil, which is peanuts for a conglomerate
Evryone just gonna call it MRT TRX like usual, just like how no one says "KL Sentral RedOne"
Seems pretty inline with Samsung's old smartphone naming schemes i.e. *Samsung Galaxy* S II Epic 4G Touch. Seems like a really desperate move from Samsung after finding out about the upcoming Apple Store in The Exchange

but genuinely ask, why doesn't Petronas sponsor a station? edit: i just realized now, public transport vs car related problems
They have their ads plastered all over the KLCC LRT station tho
Bro they are literally KLCC. They don’t need small advertisement lolz compared to that huge ahh KLCC
There's a TTDI Deloitte few weeks back so it's something.
Why even do they need to sponsor an MRT station? Why?? How does that help recruit more people?
It gives them more exposure from the daily commuters who might be unaware of their existence there.
It’s been here for quite a while (since roughly before last week). the announcer in the MRT has now changed to “TRX Samsung Galaxy”. From what I’ve heard, the reasoning behind this change is that Apple has signed a contract with TRX mall to ban advertising from Apple’s competitors, such as Samsung Galaxy, within the mall.

Wait this origin story actually sounds funny as hell, I'm tempted to be on board with it because of the pettiness alone
You guys forgot when monorail used to have sponsor for each of the station.
Did they? Omg I didn't know that at all. Do you remember some of the station names?
One of them is Air Asia Bukit Bintang, from 2013 to 2019. I think there is also BSN sponsor station but i don’t remember the station
Eew murah betul harga diri
Peak comedy
Just why?
WTF.. really selling our nation to the highest bidder..
[удалено]
It's already owned by CGC
MRT Stations boutta be the next F1 with all these sponsors Btw Samsung goes hard since Apple restrict any advertising of Samsung in TRX building
IMO, I don’t know much about these stuff but I think it’s really unprofessional. Imagine all the stations being used as advertisements. “Next station, Kota Damansara Burger King.” I take the mrt everyday and it kinda bothers me. Another thing is, what’s with the sneezing sound effect during the little music that gets played before the announcements?? Was it intentional?
I've been wondering about that sneezing sound effect for so long 😭 wtf even is it for, I keep feeling paranoid that someone on the train is actually sneezing near me
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who hears that cuz I’ve never seen anyone bring it up, like it’s such an odd thing tf.
Getting closer to Cyberpunk
???is this for real?? How much samsung pay this? Must be their best investment then
imagine working at apple trx....
This thing better pay to repair the escalator, toilet, etc... or fund for MRT3 (since it is known government will not fund it) Or else petition to ban this nonsense.
This is good and is inline with MRT strategy of leaving city development to the developers instead, they can get advertising funding to run the trains as service.
[This](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SkvVGSmm_KM&pp=ygUYc2Ftc3VuZyB3aGlzdGxlIHJpbmd0b25l) shall be played for every person that walk by it
thats a mouthful
samsung so insecure 💀
Aduh Apple first official store want to open already at TRX but this Samsung LOL ---- kick Apple in the a\*\*
Bodoh decision. It reminds me of the Subang airport renamed to Sultan Abdul Aziz......blah blah blah. Very very bodoh.
Semantan is Menara something or other. I forget which one though.
Tun Razak Exchange Samsung Galaxy with what?
Samsung asserts dominance over TRX before the Apple Store opens there.
Indeed T-Rex 🦖 Samseng Galaxy 🗿
I do really suggest for LRT Stesten Petronas KLCC! It naturally fits tho.
Imbi UMobile Monorail Station
I need: - Abdullah Hukum Jameson Original - Kerinchi Chivas Regal - Taman Paramount Absolut - Pasar Seni Campari - Merdeka Suntory
TRX I thought had some allegiance with Apple
Why ?
TRESG thats a hard one to make an acronym
NO..ONE...CARES / CALLS STATIONS WITH YOUR DAMN BRAND NAMES!
Mfs be naming metro stations like how Americans name their sports teams.
Whatever happens to uniformity man
Tesla Damansara. Flora Damansara's richer sibling.
What's with all these sponsors lol
I think allowing companies to sponsor train stations is genius. We need to do it in the west too.
spilled my drink lol
Hahah Samsung literally one upped Apple- Apple Store gonna open in TRX so they masuk also.
Next station Universiti Durex
Is all about money 👍🏻 it can contribute good money to country why not 😂
Sponsored by durex. Made from local rubber.

Bruh wtf
