MR CHOO KAY WEE: 'I refer to Sunday's report, 'Merlion hit by lightning'. Considering the efficiency of the civil service, the repair to the Merlion will probably be swift.
But here is a thought.
Would it not be more beneficial if we considered other possibilities arising out of this rare and extraordinary event, instead of applying the obvious solution?
How about leaving our lightning-struck Merlion as it is? Would this not generate more curiosity and attract more tourists, local and foreign, because of the rarity of the accident? Would collecting an entrance fee to the site be a clever move as well?
