The iconic Merlion is temporary being refurbished into a single room hotel. What a shame, :(
The Central Business District forming the backdrop with Fullerton Hotel in the forefront.
The good old Clifforf Pier and I vaguely remember setting off from here years ago when I was a young kid seeing my Uncle Peter off via the wave rocking bump boat.
The tallest hotel in between the two durian husks; a snapshot of the Esplanade.
A colourful display of the floating platfrom amidst the concrete infrastructure.
A landscape view of the newly opened Marina Bay Sand.
The lotus inspired Art & Science Musemum.
The spacious rear entrance to the shopping arena of MBS.
Love this spectacular shot of the curvy facade of MBS from inside the shopping mall.
The Helix Bridge that links MBS to the rest of Marina and the Esplanade.

Yes, CK, I must agree with you that it's a shame that the Merlion has been converted into a hotel room, even if it is only for a year or so. I guess the Merlion as-is doesn't really make money but a rented out hotel room does. My fear is that it would be so successful that they extend it/do it more permanently.
I was telling Ants that perhaps SG has more than one iconic symbol to showcase beside the Merlion, such as the Esplanade durian husks and the lotus shape Art Science Musemum; and the authority thinks its ok to drop the Merlion. Still, I'll always have a spot for the good old Merlion and waiting for its comeback.
