SINGAPORE - At the stroke of midnight, Singapore ushered in a new year with countdown parties in Housing Board heartlands like Tampines and Punggol, as well as a spectacular eight-minute fireworks display at Marina Bay.

"These fireworks from Japan was more vibrant and colourful, much better than the normal fireworks," said the 55-year-old, who was also at the Marina Bay countdown last year. The countdown celebration at Marina Bay was organised by Urban Redevelopment Authority, in collaboration with various agencies and event partners. The event was one of several countdown parties islandwide.

The community hub played host to some 100,000 visitors from earlier in the day, with activities such as a kids carnival and free movie screenings.
