Marina Bay is the vision of our founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. It was reclaimed from the sea from the 1970s to provide room for the long-term expansion of the city.
Located at the Southern tip of Singapore, Marina Bay is a 360-hectare development designed to seamlessly extend Singapore’s downtown district and further support the city-state’s continuing growth as a major business and financial hub in Asia.
A greenfield site surrounded by water and gardens, Marina Bay provides an opportunity for further urban transformation, attracting new investments, visitors and talent, as well as becoming a new destination for the local community.
Marina Bay is a 24/7, thriving and energetic place where people live, work and play. It has ushered in a new concept of city living that embraces all the opportunities and activities that the city has to offer.
The night photo of Marina Bay, featuring the iconic Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, is a 3-second exposure shot captured with my drone while hovering 200-feet in the air. It is a good showcase of the transformation of Singapore from “mudflats” into a “metropolis” as we celebrate 50 years of independence in 2015. Sadly, it is also the year our nation lost Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
