Posted on 2009 under Hotels and accomodation, Travel News | No CommentSingapore’s iconic symbol, the Merlion, which is standing at the mouth of the Singapore River, was struck by lightning yesterday March 28 2009 at around 4pm Singapore time (GMT+8).
Reports say that “orange sparks” were seen by witnesses and a small part of the icon were chipped off by the lightning.
From pictures seen, the damage seem minimal and it is almost certain repairs to the icon will be carried out in the shortest time.
