SINGAPORE - Scenes from the past and present lit up the Istana's facade on Sunday night in a light show that narrated the story of the building's 150-year history.
Madam Halimah expressed her delight that many Singaporeans were able to join in the event, saying:"Many shared with me that they especially enjoyed the light show, as it was a rare opportunity to see the Istana all lighted up at night." As night fell, a light show, projected on the facade of the Istana's main building, told the story of its history and heritage over the years.
A series of commemorative events has been launched since the start of the year, including children's books, cookies, and a roving exhibition.This is a 30 per cent increase from the average annual visitorship from previous years, said the President's Office. Last Friday, President Halimah also organised a special preview of the light show for beneficiaries of the President's Challenge.
