Japan is so broke, Kuan Yin & Buddha also in deep trouble! How about Kuan Yew?

The Japanese had in the 80s built many huge Buddha & Kuan Yin to attract tourists, but they are now so broke that no tourist will visit them, and no money to maintain them. No body wants to own them, after the original owners past away. They became time bombs that will collapse any time! And worst there is no money even to demolish them!

So when will this happen to the fucking Merlion at Sentosa etc?

落魄大佛 成不定時炸彈

自由 更新日期:"2010/02/15 04:11"

〔編譯鄭曉蘭/綜合報導〕日本各地為招攬觀光客,於80年代泡沫經濟時期為主的時間內,爭相興建高聳入雲的巨神像。不過隨著熱潮消退,觀光人數銳減,幾座龐大觀音或佛像已成為經營者的沉重負擔,甚至是威脅公共安全的超大不定時炸彈。

日本「朝日新聞」14日介紹全國當初風光揭幕,如今卻幾乎淪為超大「廢棄物」的落魄神像。坐落於兵庫縣淡路島海岸旁的「世界和平大觀音像」,含座檯高約 100公尺。觀音像於1982年揭幕當初,每天吸引數千遊客造訪,不過隨著參訪人數與日俱減,已於2006年正式關閉。如今觀音像所有權人已經死亡,管理人是誰也是個問號,許多居民憂心日漸荒廢的觀音像可能有倒塌的危險。

觀音像附近一家飯店的屋頂,就曾被觀音像一旁高塔落下的鈴鐺砸壞。飯店負責人說:「一想到萬一發生大地震就覺得不安,到時候不知道又會有什麼東西飛過來。」但是,地方政府評估拆除大觀音像可能需要數億日圓,龐大資金也不知從何籌措。
