Too Easy to Abuse Two Large Shopping Centres are Landmarks in Singapore

[ChumingS]

I am disheartened after finding two large and popular shopping centres are having the wrong names and details. The affect of abuse have cascaded down to many shops which are located in these two shopping centres. I had already submitted the feedback to restore their correct name and details. Last but not least, I hope The Google Maps team can implement better procedures to prevent abuse of landmarks which can have a large cascade down affects to many places. Below are the details of two popular shopping centres which I had mentioned,

(1) "Compass One" shopping centre is being abused

Thanks for the report @ChumingS it is always a challenge in crowd sourced systems to strike a balance between freedom and restriction to get the best outcomes. Fortunately when names do get changed incorrectly they're usually quickly picked up and changed back. You should be able to submit edits for these places yourself with the correct names. Note that if the places are claimed then the person or agency who has the claim can control these aspects.
