Merlion Struck.
Nature has sparked the top of iconic Merlion standing at the exact spot the founder of Singapore first landed into Singa Pura, the original Singapore in 1819. The Singapore River, then was the only landing site the explorer could go ashore from the sea.
Storm and lightning
One stormy afternoon, the clouds darkens and opens up ,thunder and lightning storm across the darken tropical sky. A lucky lightning bolt hit a bull`s eye on the mane of the Merlion statue, forevers pewing seawater high onto the river, blessing one and all mariners and river riders.
A Giant Singapore Icon
The giant icon ,white and solitary, half lion and fish, scales bigger than a fist ,cracked a pieces or two. The pieces nearly hit the tourists having a photo moment below, a must see itinary for the tourists. One witness said that orange sparks were seen when the bolt of lightning flew into the top of the mane between 4pm and 5pm. The fallen pieces of scalp dented the Merlion. Does it bods ill for Singapore ? That it meant that the financial crisis will strike Singapore to the core ? Will blood gushes out and vigor and the higher sense cracked open ?
Local Geomancers work overtime
Geomancers have many opinions, some good some bad. But some suggestions to prevent the lightning strike are laughable, including an arrestor on the crown. Or a hairnet or even a parasol for the first king of Singapore. Whatever solution must not dent the pride and regal presence of the Icon of Singapore , next to the Eye, headlined last month which stop spinning and causes the guest to be lowered form the capsules eight storys hight.
