SINGAPORE: People planning to visit Marina Bay to watch the fireworks during the National Day Parade next Tuesday (Aug 9) can use a new online map to check real-time crowd levels at various viewing spots.
The Crowd@MarinaBay map will also show areas around Marina Bay that are closed. It is part of the safety and security arrangements put in place by the police for the National Day Parade, which will be held at The Float @ Marina Bay.
To prevent overcrowding, police officers and auxiliary police officers will be regulating the flow of the crowd in Marina Bay, such as the Esplanade Waterfront, One Fullerton Waterfront, Merlion Park, The Promontory and Marina Bay Sands Waterfront.
"Members of the public are advised to follow the instructions of the marshals and police officers on duty," said the Singapore Police Force (SPF).
"With large crowds expected around the Marina Bay, the public is advised to be vigilant and to safeguard their belongings," they added.
Those attending the parade are advised to arrive early to allow enough time for security checks, said the police, adding that they should minimise the number of personal belongings they plan to bring to the event.
"Any container with a 100ml capacity or larger, containing liquid, aerosol or gel, will be subjected to additional checks. Canned drinks and canned items will not be allowed into the venue," said SPF.
Each ticket holder will receive an NDP pack that includes provisions such as water and snacks. The police said action may be taken against people who attempt to bring in prohibited items, such as drones or flares.
Road and lane closures are also put in place by SPF during the event.
