Arranged in a circular formation, the 60 light beams that will be projected into the sky are meant to represent the notches on a clock face as we count down to welcome 2021.

Concurrently, the shining light is also supposed to act as a beacon of hope for a better year ahead as we continue fighting pandemic.

From afar, the circle of light might look like part of an alien invasion out of a sci-fi movie, especially to the uninformed - but let’s pray that never happens. 2020 has been harrowing enough!

If you’re having a staycation at one of the hotels in the vicinity, you will probably be able to spot the light show from your room if it faces the waters - lucky you! Office slaves OT-ing in the skyscrapers nearby would also be able to catch this sight from their workplaces.
