Local Blogging  Community  seeks support on their craft 

Local Bloggers in Singapore have gathered to ask the general public to support their craft by sharing their publicity video and to sign an online form.   A cause #SupportSGBloggers has been created to let Singaporeans show their support and appreciation for the hard work of Bloggers in Singapore. 
The image of bloggers has suffered due to recent controversies on bloggers demanding freebies from merchants such as restaurants or salons, etc.  The job as a blogger has always been a difficult and thankless one. To bring the softer, up-to-date and important news to the general public, it demands time, effort, passion and determination to curate & perfect the content. 
The campaign hopes to encourage Singaporeans to say 'YES' to the work of bloggers and to recognise the value of blogs and microsites in helping them make their day-to-day important decisions.  
Hong Peng, a blogger who blogs at http://hpility.blogspot.sg/, and a director for the publicity video ‘We are Bloggers’ opined ‘This is a very timely and meaningful movement to get Singaporeans’ support on our craft. I have been blogging since 2007 and I take pride in attending events and launches, and bringing up-to-date information to all my readers. I see my job as an important one as it affects my readers’ decisions in all areas of their lives. I blog to see things differently and I hope Singaporeans can see the hard work we put in as bloggers’. 
Wee Heng, a popular blogger who blogs at  www.aspirantsg.com said, ‘Participating in this video has allowed like-minded bloggers to come together for a common goal, and simply, to share our joy and love for blogging, as this unique craft has been widely misunderstood. All of us have a deep passion and mission for blogging and we ensure our blog entries are professional. We hope Singaporeans can come forward to show us their support in this regard’.

Centre Manager, Wendy Toh said ‘Opening a second outlet has always been in the wish list of the Feet Haven’s Management team. The first shop has received rave reviews and a lot of our customers, aka ‘Feethavenatics’ have suggested that we open more shops around Singapore. A lot of our customers like our unique and ‘boutique-like’ concept where it is not just a foot reflexology business, but a brand which embodies healing and art across our spirit, mind and body.’

 The opening of the second outlet marks the expansion plan of reaching 10 outlets in the next ten years. The company welcomes any potential franchisee keen to build their own massage haven.

 With this new addition, Feet Haven Reflexology now owns two Foot reflexology outlets: Katong branch located at 136 East Coast Road, and Serangoon Gardens Branch located at 4A Maju Avenue. The Foot Reflexology brand also owns a sister Manicure & Pedicure brand, Absolutely Nails.
