Singapore: Thousands of people were there to watch performances at the Float, just before a fireworks display lit up the night sky.

Starting a new family was the highlight of 2022 for Lai, 30, and he hopes the new year will be a more peaceful one, with the Covid-19 virus in retreat.

They were there to watch performances at the Float, just before the fireworks display lit up the night sky. Tan, who works in the tech industry and mostly worked from home in 2022, said: “I spent a lot of time with my family this year, so it’s something I really appreciate. Later that evening, access to Jubilee Bridge, Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza and Fullerton Waterfront, which includes Merlion Park, was closed and police advised the public to avoid the areas.

The festivities here, this year, are a stark contrast to New Year’s Eve in 2021 - one without street activities or performances. Community celebrations then were also organised in truncated events across the island, with some held virtually. Jayden Chong, 25, who was with his parents and girlfriend, said he was surprised by the moderate crowd after his family decided to avoid the Marina Bay area.
