An event to release candle-lit lanterns into the air at Singapore's Sentosa Island that was advertised did not materialise and patrons were left to hang lanterns on barricades .The police confirmed on Thursday that a report has been lodged and that investigations are ongoing.
Tickets cost S$50 each excluding booking fees. One of the event organisers, Ms Shiermie Bautista, said in a since-deleted Facebook post that about 2,500 people attended the festival and collected their lanterns. "Given that Asian Couture and Boutique did not obtain the necessary licences and permit approvals to carry out the release of sky lanterns, it was not right for the company to proceed with the event without giving consumers prior notice that the sky lantern release segment was cancelled. There is also no clarity on the replacement event suggested by the company."
