SINGAPORE: The Merlion statue in Merlion Park will be hoarded up for three days from Thursday to Saturday for maintenance checks, the Singapore Tourism Board said on Wednesday.
The statue was previously hoarded up last month from Sep 6 to Sep 8 for overnight cleaning and maintenance works."We seek the public’s understanding as the works and barricades may cause some inconvenience during this period," added STB. The Merlion statue, which bears the head of a lion and the body of a fish, was built by local craftsman Lim Nang Seng.
It was unveiled on Sep 15, 1972 by then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew at the mouth of the Singapore River. With the completion of the Esplanade Bridge in 1997, the statue could no longer be viewed clearly from the waterfront. The Merlion was relocated in 2002 to the Merlion Park, in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking Marina Bay.
Best now, with less compliants from tourist who be disappointed.

11 COVID deaths, 2,976 new cases in SingaporeThe MOH on 12 October confirmed 2,976 new COVID cases in Singapore, bringing the country's total case count to 132,205, as well as 11 more deaths due to the disease. COVID19 in Singapore appears to be topping out at a very high level. We are forecasting near 600 deaths over the next 4 weeks. Overall CFR=0.8%; CFR for vaxed = 0.3% and 2.2% for unvaxed. Boosters appear to be reducing breakthrough deaths. I THINK IT IS TIME TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION-NEGLIGENCE AGAINST NURSING HOMES/EMPLOYERS FOR PERMITTING THE VIRUS TO AFFECT THE POOR OLD FOLKS/EMPLOYEES. HAVEN'T THEY LEARN A LESSON FROM THE VARIOUS WAVES. THEY NEED TO BE PUNISHED FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE. PEOPLE DIE AND THEY WALK AWAY.
