Singapore’s Icon The Merlion Struck by Lightning

Posted on 2009 under Hotels and accomodation, Travel News | No Comment

Singapore’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.

If you are visiting Singapore soon, you may wish to take the opportunity to take a look at the Merlion at the same time. You can choose from a wide range of over 200 Singapore hotels before making your booking for your visit.
