...fountain in new MARINA reservoir...
saw in the Straits Times yesterday that the Singapore governement is going to "plant" a 12-storey tall fountain at the new MARINA reservoir ... near to Kallang basin
what's that for? attract tourist? haha...another idea "copied" from overseas like our ferris wheel...which is nothing new...
the world tallest fountain (if i'm not wrong) in Geneve Switzerland...stands at 100m...I was amazed when my sis just came back from there with the photo...amazing...
our new fountain (12 storey abt 36 m) will stand pale to the 100m tall fountain in Geneve.

actually, the newspaper article mentions that the fountain is to mark the suction point where water from the bay is pumped out into other reservoirs. As the suction force is great, it can be dangerous for the future water-based activities in the bay. I think it is a great idea that serves both aesthetic and practical means. As for copying from others, a fountain is a fountain, what is there to copy?
ah probably...haah that was just my inital reaction to it...=)
