The dragon drone show was a bloody disaster. Marina Bay Sands there was almost a disastrous stampede at the drone show when it started raining and everyone was almost standstill crushed while trying to re enter the mall. There was:

1. No signages

2. No queue management

3. Zero announcement or security measures when the crowd started getting crushed and yelling at people to stop moving. This means zero loud hailer to inform

4. Half the path out the central atrium was blocked for the casino.

5. People were turned away after pushing through the crowd towards the exit n asked to turn around n join the crowd, making the reverse flow which is blocking people from exiting from the promenade.

6. There were many children, disabled people in wheelchair and old folks out there and they got pushed shoved and squashed in the crowd.

7. When the situation was already escalating instead of stopping the show, it continued, prompting people to continue to stop and block exits.

8. If there was a real emergency like a fire or blast no one would be able to move. We were all back to back moving an inch at a time.

9. My husband had to carry up my daughter and i have to forcefully make space in front of my son to avoid them being crushed.

10. Please do something and take responsibility for this. We have all made police reports.
No wonder SMRT activated to recall their staff back from holidays and OT to control.the crowd control.last night.
Lack of foresight again of the relevant department, similar to bringing in millions of new immigrants and CECA Indians, without proper planning of housing, public transport, hospital beds and infrastructure.
Never learnt from the past terrible lessons!

Carolyn could have avoided the stampede by watching the drone show from her hotel suite like the Tan family.

In any case, I hope the police arrest and jail all the low SES losers who pushed Carolyn during the stampede.

She has only herself to blame for being poor, cheap, fat and ugly.

I was there only because an overseas visitor wanted to see the so called River Hongbao and it was a horrible experience as stated clearly by the first post.
There could easily have been a disaster and stampede given the extreme overcrowding esp at the 2 nearest MRT stations and I hardly see any security personnel to control the overwhelming crowd.The large number of people who bring babies and invalid on wheel chairs to such overcrowded place is shocking .

No mortal is perfect. We Humans have to make mistakes to learn, correct & progress.

The root of the issue is that

a)
Many would like the feel the vibes of an ethnic celebration

b)Singapore is just TOO SMALL to hold such celebrations within a small area.


Solution:- DECENTRALIZATION of ethnic celebrations & concerts.

1)
Focus upon the majority of ethnic groups within Township thru research studies

2) Decentralize ethnic celebrations or concerts to FOUR locations, with equal funding for such activities as well as co-operation from biz enterprises/Tourism board.

eg- Chingay procession - Chinatown, Hougang, Bishan, Yishun

- Hari Raya Bazzar - Geylang, Bedok, Tampines, Jurong

- Depavali - Little India, Jurong, Serangoon, Sembawang

-Christmas/New Year - Orchard Rd, Bt Timah, Shenton Way, Holland rd.

Taylor Swift/Blackpink type concerts - Township stadiums such as National Stadium, Jurong stadium, Jln Besar, Bishan.


3) MPs of those areas can assigned research & marketing supports to dedicated leaders to create the vibes, & even improvements of infrastructure to attract DAILY tourists to their areas.


4) With FOUR locations - the logistics & security arrangements would be better managed & foresighted, & no doubts - costs would rise. However to continue holding such major events with ONE small confined area is asking for disasters to happen.
