Tallest inflatable water slide in SEA to feature at DBS Marina Regatta
This year’s DBS Marina Regatta will feature a 16-metre long slide you can have fun with.
The slide is Southeast Asia’s tallest inflatable water slide and will be sloping at about 45 degrees, said a press statement by DBS Bank on Thursday (May 5).
Visitors will be travelling at 50km/h down the slide, which allows four people to ride simultaneously.
Over the weekends of May 28 and 29 and June 4 and 5, event attendees can also enjoy a pop-up urban beach at The Promontory at Marina Bay.
It will be the size of almost three Olympic pools and can accommodate up to 400 people.
Other activities available include stand-up paddling, stand-up yoga, kayaking and obstacle courses for children. Some of the region’s top dragon boating teams will also be racing at the event.
Art lovers can also expect to see the sale of items by local designers at the beach’s art market Shop House. The market will be housed in shipping containers, which double as viewing decks at night for the evening’s beach concert.
Thr concert will be the regatta’s first beach concert and will feature local artistes such as indie band Take Two and iNCH.
There will also be a food village, Chow House, which will serve bites such as Fika’s Swedish meatballs and Kerbside Gourmet’s Char Siu Pork Collar Bao with Achar.
The event begins at 11am and ends at 10pm and the slide is open to the public from 11am to 8pm on both weekends. It costs $10 for five rides and all proceeds raised will go to non-profit organisation SPD.

Pakistani shopkeeper killed dozens with 'revenge' sweets
MULTAN, Pakistan – A Pakistani sweet shop owner has confessed to fatally poisoning at least 30 people by lacing his goods with pesticide in an attempt to take revenge on his older brother, police told AFP Friday.
Khalid Mehmood confessed in a court in central Punjab province that he had poisoned the sweets after his elder brother Tariq, who owned the sweet shop with him, “insulted and abused” him in a business dispute.
“I wanted to teach him a lesson,” police investigator Mohammad Afzal quoted him as saying, with the statement confirmed by another senior police official.
“I was so angry that I mixed the pesticides bottle in the sweets being baked at that time.” The poisoned batch of sweets were bought by a local man who gave them to family and friends celebrating the birth of his grandson.
The baby’s father, six of his uncles and one aunt were among the 30 killed. The dead also included five children. Four victims are still in hospital.
Officials had earlier put the toll at 33, but police confirmed Friday it stood at 30.
Police have told local reporters that 52 people consumed the sweets in total.
Both the Mehmood brothers were arrested along with one of their employees.
Investigators initially suspected the poisoning was an accident as a pesticide shop nearby was being renovated and the owner had left his products at the bakery for safe-keeping.
Pakistan has poor food safety standards and hygiene laws are rarely implemented.
The brothers are due to appear in court again on Saturday, Afzal said.
