SINGAPORE: More than 250,000 people visited the Prudential Marina Bay Carnival in the week since it opened, the organisers said on Tuesday (Dec 26).
Billed as Singapore’s “biggest carnival”, it opened on Dec 15 after a week-long delay as organisers waited for the final green light from authorities.

It features more than 40 rides and games, including a roller-coaster and log flume.
“We have been working hard to provide a meaningful destination for families and friends to spend quality time together, and we are very encouraged by the support given by everyone,” said Barnabas Chia, who leads the organising team behind the carnival.
He added that special acts have been lined up for New Year’s Eve, including electronic musician Jasmine Sokko and rapper TheLionCityBoy.
