BANGKOK: It was a cool haircut for Catholic monks in the 4th century. But when a group of young boys in Thailand were seen in a June 7 Facebook post with the hair on their crowns shaved to the scalp and only the hair on the sides of their heads and bangs retained, all hell broke loose – in the comments section.

The fact that Malaysia and Singapore share many similarities does pose a challenge for the latter to find unique points to entice Malaysian tourists. However, it’s a challenge that Terrence Voon, executive director of Singapore Tourism Board, is taking in stride.

“We are looking at about 15-16.5 million tourists for 2024,” he added. Hence, the introduction of new or upcoming attractions and experiences in Singapore. Among these, Mandai Wildlife Reserve and its future additions may be the most enticing, especially for families. The latter, meanwhile, features immersive aerial adventures amid an Afro-Tropical and Madagascar-inspired landscape.

Mandai Gallery, set in the adjacent building, is a free-access permanent exhibition. Also there is Curiosity Cove, an indoor play scape that uses tactile play to familiarise young children with nature and wildlife.
