Attendees speaking with event staff at the Sky Lantern Festival at Sentosa on Feb 21.SINGAPORE - The police are looking into the Singapore Sky Lantern Festival amid calls by attendees to be fully refunded for the botched event.
Hundreds of attendees, who each paid $50, made their way to Sentosa for the festival on Feb 21, only to learn on arrival that there was no food, nor were there lanterns taking off that night – both of which had been promised. Following that, one of the organisers said in a since-deleted Facebook post that the event will be rescheduled to early April, without providing further details.
Mr Yong said it was not right for the event organiser, Asian Couture and Boutique, to proceed with the event without giving consumers prior notice that the sky lantern release segment was cancelled, given that consumers had bought tickets mainly due to the release. Mr Yong urged all affected consumers to contact Case for help by calling 6277-5100 or through its website.
