SINGAPORE – There will be no fireworks on this year’s Marina Bay New Year’s Eve countdown, but Singaporeans can still look forward to them at 11 locations in the heart of the country to usher in 2021.
As part of the end of the year events organized by the People’s Association (PA), the fireworks will be held in HDB cities such as Bedok, Tampines, Bishan and Yew Tee and the exhibition will be streamed live on Facebook pages. electoral districts.
In a statement on Wednesday (December 23), the Palestinian Authority said that virtual programs bring the end of the year holidays to families “in a safe way”, allowing everyone to enjoy the programs in the comfort of their homes.
“As 2020 draws to a close and we approach reopening phase three, we must remain vigilant, especially during the holiday periods,” the association said.
Two of the end-of-year virtual programs, which will be organized by various electoral districts, will take place on Sunday.
Another 12 will be held on New Years Eve and the remaining two on New Years.
Highlights include Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC’s 2021 virtual countdown on December 31 at 10.30pm, featuring local artists including Sezairi, MICappella, TheLionCityBoy, and The Lorong Boys. It will be featured by Mediacorp artist Pornsak.

Chan Cui Si, a Yew Tee resident in his 50s, said he would try to view the exhibit from his flat if possible.
“Without knowing where the focal point of the exhibit is, leaving the house can be useless,” said the housewife, adding that an open area in the neighborhood was packed during a similar event on National Day, which she did make the viewing experience unpleasant. .
