Merlion Park

Merlion Park is a famous Singapore landmark and a major tourist attraction, located at One Fullerton, Singapore, near the Central Business District (CBD). The Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion's head and a fish's tail that is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. Two Merlion statues are located at the park. The original Merlion structure measures 8.6 meters tall and spouts water from its mouth. It has subsequently been joined by a Merlion cub, which is located near the original statue and measures just 2 metres tall. History The original Merlion Park was first designed by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) near the mouth of the Singapore River in 1964 as an emblem of Singapore. On 15 September 1972, the park was officially opened at an installation ceremony for the statue, officiated at by then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The original statue of the Merlion used to stand at the mouth of the Singapore River. The building of the Merlion was started in November 1971 and was completed in August 1972. It was crafted by the late Singaporean sculptor, Mr Lim Nang Seng and his 8 children. The sculpture measures 8.6 meters high and weighs 70 tons. This massive statue with the spouting stream was constructed by Stanley Mok Relocation of Merlion Upon the completion of the Esplanade Bridge in 1997, the original Merlion Park location was also no longer the entrance of Singapore River and the statue could no longer be viewed clearly from the Marina Bay Waterfront. On 23 April 2002, the statue was relocated to a new pier specially built on the other side of The Esplanade Bridge adjacent to The Fullerton Hotel. The move, which cost $7.5 million, was completed on 25 April 2002. On 15 September 2002, then-Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew ceremonially welcomed the Merlion again on its new location, the current Merlion Park, which is four times bigger than the original site. Merlion statue damage On 28 February 2009, between 4 pm and 5 pm, the Merlion statue was struck by lightning. Staff in the vicinity said they heard an explosion followed by a loud thud when broken pieces fell to the ground. Repairs were completed in March that year, the Merlion itself resumed spouting water on 18 March 2009. Restoration Works During restoration, the Merlion statue would be closed off throughout the whole restoration process. The sculpture would be cleaned thoroughly, and new plaster or paint would be put on the Merlion to keep the Merlion looking bright and clean. Occasionally fillers are used for the cracks and hollow areas of the Sculpture. See also Merlion Former Merlion Park Notes References External links News Asia Singapore Anniebees website

Merlion Park

Il Merlion Park è un punto di riferimento di Singapore e un'importante attrazione turistica situata nel quartiere Downtown Core di Singapore, vicino al suo quartiere degli affari (CBD). Il Merlion è una creatura mitica con la testa di leone e il corpo di pesce che è utilizzato come mascotte e personificazione nazionale di Singapore. Nel parco si trovano due statue del Merlion: la prima è alta 8,6 metri e getta acqua dalla sua bocca, la seconda, che si trova vicino alla prima, è alta 2 metri ed è considerato un cucciolo di Merlion. Storia Il primo Merlion Park è stato progettato dall'Ente per il turismo di Singapore (STB) vicino alla foce del fiume Singapore nel 1964 come emblema dello stato. Il 15 settembre 1972, il parco fu ufficialmente aperto contemporaneamente alla cerimonia di inaugurazione della statua, svolta alla presenza dall'allora Primo ministro di Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. La statua era posizionata alla foce del fiume Singapore . La costruzione del Merlion iniziò nel novembre 1971 e fu completata nell'agosto 1972 ad opera dello scultore Lim Nang Seng e dei suoi 8 figli. La scultura, alta 8,6 metri, pesa 70 tonnellate. Trasferimento del Merlion A causa del completamento dell'Esplanade Bridge nel 1997, il Merlion Park non era più situato alla foce del fiume Singapore e la statua non poteva più essere vista chiaramente dal lungomare di Marina Bay. Il 23 aprile 2002, la statua è stata trasferita in un nuovo molo appositamente costruito sull'altro lato dell'Esplanade Bridge adiacente al Fullerton Hotel. Il trasferimento, che è costato 7,5 milioni di dollari, è stato completato il 25 aprile 2002. Il 15 settembre 2002, l'allora ministro Lee Kuan Yew dà nuovamente il benvenuto al Merlion nella sua nuova posizione, l'attuale Merlion Park, che è quattro volte più grande del precedente. Danni alla statua del Merlion Il 28 febbraio 2009, tra le 4 e le 5 del pomeriggio, la statua del Merlion è stata colpita da un fulmine. Il personale nelle vicinanze ha detto di aver sentito un'esplosione seguita da un forte tonfo quando i pezzi rotti sono caduti a terra. Le riparazioni furono completate nel marzo dello stesso anno e il Merlion riprese a sputare acqua il 18 marzo 2009. Lavori di restauro Il Merlion Park e la statua hanno subito alcuni lavori di restauro nel 2019.

Парк Мерлайона

Парк Мерлайона (кит. 鱼尾狮公园) — известная достопримечательность Сингапура и главная туристическая достопримечательность, расположенная в One Fullerton недалеко от Центрального делового района (CBD). Мерлайон — мифическое существо с головой льва и телом рыбы, которое широко используется в качестве талисмана и национального символа Сингапура. В парке расположены две его статуи. Высота первой конструкции — 8,6 метра, из её пасти вырывается струя воды. Впоследствии к первой статуе присоединился детеныш Мерлайона высотой в 2 метра. История Первый парк Мерлайона был спроектирован в 1964 году Советом по туризму Сингапура (STB). Он был задуман как символ Сингапура и расположен рядом с устьем реки Сингапур. 15 сентября 1972 года парк был официально открыт церемонией установки статуи, которую провел премьер-министр Сингапура Ли Куан Ю. Возведение статуи началось в ноябре 1971 года и было завершено в августе 1972 года, скульптор — Лим Нанг Сенг и его восемь детей. Высота скульптуры — 8,6 метра, а вес — 70 тонн. В конструировании фонтана в статуе участвовал Стенли Мок. Перенос Мерлайона После завершения строительства моста Эспланада в 1997 году парк Мерлайон оказался более не в устье реки, и статуя больше не была хорошо видна с набережной Марина-Бей. 23 апреля 2002 года статуя была перенесена на новый пирс, специально построенный на другой стороне моста Эспланада рядом с отелем Fullerton . Перенос обошёлся в 7,5 миллионов долларов и был завершен 25 апреля 2002 года. 15 сентября 2002 года министр Ли Куан Ю торжественно приветствовал Мерлайона снова на новом месте, в нынешнем парке Мерлайона, который в четыре раза больше первоначального. Повреждение статуи Мерлайона 28 февраля 2009 года между 4 и 5 часами вечера в статую Мерлайона ударила молния. Сотрудники, находившиеся поблизости, сообщили, что услышали взрыв, за которым последовал грохот, когда обломки упали на землю. Ремонтные работы были завершены в марте того же года, а 18 марта 2009 года восстановилась работа фонтана. Примечания

Mimaland

Mimaland is an abandoned recreation water theme park in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. Regarded as Malaysia's first theme park, it opened in 1975 and closed down permanently in May 1994, after a landslide damaged the property. The entrance gate and remains of Mimaland still exist today. History Mimaland started operating in 1975. The name Mimaland is actually an acronym of the word combination Malaysia In Miniature Land. Mimaland was built on a hilly area of 300 acres (120 ha) in Ulu Gombak near Kuala Lumpur, served by an exit to the old Gombak-Bentong road. It was owned by Mimaland Berhad, a member of Magnum Group of Companies (now Magnum Corporation). Mimaland's construction was done in phases and the theme park was opened in stages. Mimaland's first phase was completed in 1970, and consisted of 24 motels, 5 chalets and a swimming pool. Among the main attractions, was the 'prehistoric animal park' containing dinosaur models of a very impressive size. Additionally, Mimaland also had a lake for boating and fishing activities, a 'giant maze', as well as a cross-forest area. On 25 January 1993, a 27-year-old Singaporean technician who was on a Chinese New Year holiday was slammed by another rider while using the giant slide at the Mimaland pool. He was left paralysed and died due to spinal cord injuries. The local authority, Gombak District Council, issued new safety measures to Mimaland on 5 February. The incident shocked the public and resulted in a temporary closure of Mimaland. After improvement was done to the giant slide, Mimaland was reopened. However, a minor landslide caused damage to the walls of the same pool in May 1994. This incident caused muddy water to seep into the pool, causing the area to close to the public. Several parties, including government agencies, took the management of Mimaland to court on a number of offenses, among which were security control issues. As a result, the court barred Mimaland from continuing its operations. Mimaland was closed permanently in 1994. Mimaland relics still exist to this day. References

Ministry of Youth and Sports (Malaysia)

Das Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) oder Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (deutsch: Ministerium für Jugend und Sport) ist ein Ministerium des Staates Malaysia. Das Ministerium ist für die Umsetzung der politischen Ziele Malaysias auf dem Gebiet von Jugend und Sport zuständig. Geschichte Die Geschichte des Ministeriums reicht zurück ins Jahr 1953. Damals wurde eine Kulturabteilung innerhalb des Amtes für Wohlfahrtspflege (Department of Public Welfare) eingerichtet. Diese Kulturabteilung war für alle Belange der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe zuständig. 1964 wurde die Kulturabteilung direkt dem Informationsministerium (Ministry of Information) unterstellt. Dem damaligen Trend der Jugend, sich zunehmend in Vereinen und Interessensgruppen zu organisieren, folgend, wurde eine Jugendsparte ins Leben gerufen, die diese Aktivitäten begleiten und ideologisch an die Ziele der Regierung binden sollte. Zeitgleich wurde die Sparte "Sport" innerhalb des Informationsministeriums eingerichtet. Im Rahmen des Nationalfeiertags am 15. Mai 1964 wurde schließlich das Ministerium für Jugend und Sport (Ministry of Youth and Sports) als eigenständiges Ministerium gegründet. 1972 wurde die Sparte "Kultur" eingerichtet und führte zur Umbenennung des Ministeriums in "Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports". Erst 1987, als die Kulturabteilung zum Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism kam, wurde der ursprüngliche Name wieder hergestellt, der bis heute besteht. Zugehörige Ämter und Institutionen Zum Ministerium gehören unter anderem folgende Ämter und Institutionen: Amt für Jugend und Sport (Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Negeri) National Youth Skills Institute (Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara, IKBN) Higher National Youth Skills Institute (Institut Kemahiran Tinggi Belia Negara, IKTBN) Außerdem stellt das Ministerium der Öffentlichkeit Sporteinrichtungen zur Verfügung, die kostenfrei oder gegen geringes Entgelt von jedermann, auch ohne Zugehörigkeit zu einem Sportverein oder einer Organisation, genutzt werden können.
