Marina Barrage welcomes its one millionth visitor

Marina Barrage welcomed its one millionth visitor on Sunday, less than two years after its opening.

It is Mr Charlie Lee's first visit to the Marina Barrage and he did not expect to be the one millionth visitor.

Mr Lee and his family were given a special welcome by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Environment and Water Resources, Amy Khor, and PUB mascot Water Wally.

PUB, the national water agency, says that since the barrage was opened, it has grown into a popular destination for people from all walks of life.

About 50 percent of the visitors are from schools, 45 percent are members of the public, with foreigners making up the rest.
