The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2020 is back to usher in the New Year, and this time it will feature an extended 90-minute musical show which includes fireworks.
The multi-sensory musical show, which is from Japan, will also include 500 drones and will make its debut on New Year’s Eve at The Float @ Marina Bay.
Event presenter Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said in a press release on Thursday (19 December) that the show is titled “2019: A Space Odyssey”, and it will have a variety of acts such as synchronised fireworks, pyrotechnics and 3D surround sound accompanied by performances by unicyclists, ballet dancers and fire performers.
The musical show will start at 5pm, and people can even experience a family-friendly entertainment zone and a food village while at the event. Tickets for the musical show are priced from S$88.
Besides this, another highlight at the countdown event is a circus act by Uncle Ringo. Audience will be treated to spectacular circus acts and stunts by the Great Circus of Europe. Ticket prices for the acts range between S$70 to S$150, with the first show starting at 4pm at the Bayfront event space.
For those who do not want to be part of the circus show, they can participate in carnival games and rides, as well as enjoy 50 food and retail stores at the Escapade Festival Village. Admission for this is free.
If patrons make their way to The Lawn @ Marina Bay, they can take part in multiple fun activities like bouncy castles, arts and crafts, roving performances as well as magic shows. These activities will be available for the public on 31 December from 5pm onwards.
Separately, Mediacorp’s Let’s Celebrate 2020 countdown concert will also be happening at The Promontory. Close to a hundred of Singaporean dance, music and fashion talents will grace the countdown, including the first home-grown artist to win Best Southeast Asia Act at the 2019 MTV Europe Music, Jasmine Sokko.
Apart from her, other local artistes that will be performing include Benjamin Kheng, Aisyah Aziz and rocker Ramli Sarip. Mediacorp artistes like Ayden Sng, Daryl-Ann, Jarrell Huang and Fang Rong will also be in attendance for a special performance.
This countdown will be free for the public and it will start from 7pm.
Apart from that, The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2020 will also include the Build a Dream, a joint effort to help less fortunate individuals in fulfilling their personal development and dreams.
Artwork designed by beneficiaries from local schools, welfare organisations and social services will be transformed into a series of light act projected onto the facades of the Fullerton Hotel Singapore, ArtScience Museum and the Merlion.
The light work will be displayed in the evenings from 26 December to 31 December.
As the finale to the array of activities, a eight minute-long fireworks display will take place sharp at midnight to welcome the new decade.

陈振声称需赋权人民行动党 展现“正向稳定”政治因素吸引外资

贸工部长陈振声认为,在来届选举新加坡必须先向世界展示更具正向稳定的信号,吸引更多更强大的经济投资,创造良好的就业机会。 周一(11日)陈振声接受《亚洲新闻台》的采访透露,新加坡必须向世界发出相对“正向的信号”,激发投资者对新加坡的信心,以此吸引更强大的投资,制造就业机会,以让新加坡人能够安然度过低靡时刻。 他强调,纵观许多并列第一世界的国家具有多元化的政治体系,并且能够赖以生存,倘若没有强劲的经济表现、强大的投资和良好的就业机会,一个支离破碎的政治体系也会体现出缺点。 “所以,在来届选举中,我们不仅要向自己,而且要面向世界发出“正向强大”的信号,我们才能借此攀升,与竞争对手拉远距离。” 因此,陈振声表示,目前首要任务即是授权于人民行动党,告诉国际社会行动党是长期存在,即指新加坡是稳定和连贯的,同时行动党也会执行与实现所有的承诺。 他也表明,若新加坡人投向一个“无法协调分歧与带领新加坡前进”的政治制度,新加坡社会的凝聚力将会分散,更可能导致分裂的出现。 吸引外资,意味着创造更多就业机会? 尽管如此,引进外资就意味着创造更多的机会吗?我们可以从中检讨,例如樟宜商业园中也吸引大量印度软件公司,它看似为我国创造就业机会,但我们可以从中发现,他们大量聘雇印度籍工程师。 随着新加坡人的抱怨连连,情况逐渐恶化,以至于政府不得不介入调解,让这些公司聘雇更多外国人。 政府的介入也连带影响了于新加坡工作的印度专业人员,由于工作签证的条件变得严苛,导致工作签证的派发变得相当零散,甚至促使印度政府以违反贸易协定向新加坡政府投诉。 据报道,部分印度IT公司均受到影响如HCL、TCS、Infosys、Wipro、Cognizant和L&T信息技术。 印度贸易组织(Nasscom)投诉,“签证问题已拖延一段时间,自2016…
