Marina Bay Sands is rolling out additional crowd control measures after its dragon-themed drone show drew a large turnout on Feb 10, sparking safety concerns.
There were also reports of people rushing back into the packed mall to seek shelter from a sudden downpour just as the show started, which led to chaotic scenes as others were trying to move in the other direction to catch the display. Accountant Seraphina Tang told ST she had a “disappointing experience”, noting that everyone started rushing forward closer to the waterfront before the 10-minute show began.
He told ST: “I purposely came down early in the afternoon to stand at a good position. I’m upset that I did not get to catch a clear view of the drones.”
