We got invited to hear the unveiling of our Floating Platform...
After a short and sweet speech by the Chairman of Infrastructure and Decorations, we had an opportunity to tour the grounds of the floating platform. Everyone's excited about donning the safety helments to ascend the heights of the platform. It was hot, it was stifling, but it's, nevertheless, exciting!

A jungle of metal poles and screws. It was really impressive!Here's the Performers' Grid for dynamic choreography. The whole experience of standing there and looking downwards at the sprawling stage. It was simply surreal... I can't help but be impressed by the scale of this year's stage construction. The participants must be awaiting with anticipation for the chance to climb up this structure come July!

Just in case you are wondering, there are many comprehensive safety policies in place. Be it safety harnesses for every participant on the Grid, safety ICs for every two performers and an overall IC for each level, our people had thought of it and implemented it.

Some lucky friends who won at a contest and were invited to a sneak preview of the platform. Sense their joy and excitement!

'Reflecting the past, embracing the present, visualising the future.' What a bold statement of our floating platform!

The whole experience, it was simply surreal... They were building castles in the air and gradually, the impressive castle's taking shape.

Here's a speech by the Chairman of Infrastructure and Decorations.
