There will be no fireworks on this year’s Marina Bay New Years Eve countdown, but Singaporeans can still see them at 11 locations in the heart 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 Housing Board cities such as Bedok, Tampines, Bishan and Yew Tee, and will be broadcast live on the pages of Facebook of the electoral districts.
In a statement yesterday, PA 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, particularly during holiday periods,” the association said.
Two of the end-of-year virtual programs take place on Sunday. Another 12 will be celebrated on New Year’s Eve and the remaining two on New Year’s Day.
Highlights include Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC’s 2021 virtual countdown on December 31st starting at 10.30pm featuring local artists Sezairi, MICappella, TheLionCityBoy and The Lorong Boys.
Those who live in Clementi can ring in the new year with a workout on Jan. 1 in the constituency’s sports-themed morning show that begins at 9 a.m. The afternoon segment, which begins at 2 pm, features local singers and bands.
In addition to Bedok, Tampines, Bishan and Yew Tee, the other seven HDB cities with fireworks displays are: Boon Lay, Geylang, Hougang, Jurong, Nanyang District in West Coast GRC, Tiong Bahru and Woodlands.
PA did not provide specific vantage points for viewing the fireworks as residents are encouraged to do so from home as the displays will be broadcast live.
A spokesman for the Palestinian Authority said safe management measures will be implemented at the exhibition sites to ensure public safety.
Those who wish to revel in the New Year’s festivities in town can head to Marina Bay for two light shows, one of which has been going on since the beginning of this month. Details are available at marinabaycountdown.gov.sg
