  S'pore Port in 1500 hours

  SINGAPORE'S dynamic port has caught the attention of Legoland builders. It will capture the spirit of the world's busiest port with Lego bricks no bigger than your pinky finger.

  Legoland Malaysia, which opens in 2012, will feature over 15,000 structures made out of 30 million Lego bricks. Only 10 per cent of the theme park has been developed to date. This is the first theme park in Asia and the 5th in the world.

  Featuring miniature models of Singapore's Port and Malaysia's Petronas Towers, Legoland Malaysia will have an Asian focus. It will also have one iconic structure from each Asean country. Legoland is not revealing the exact details just yet, keeping its fans in much suspense.

  22 Model Builders have been picked to build these iconic structures of Asia. These model builders are from Johor and went through 5 to 6 weeks of rigorous training from international Legoland trainers.

  The 26-hectare theme park, located in Nusujaya in Johor Bahru, will also have over 40 exciting rides for the family.

  With so much to look forward to, it is no surprise that Lego brings out the child in every one of us and continues to remain popular, forty-two years after the first Legoland started. - Straits Times 09/07/10

  Cool! Malaysia's military strategists will then be able to use the Lego model of Singapore's port as a reference when they plan an air attack on Singapore's harbour facilities.

  I'm not joking.

  Jurong Island would see 1 small scale barge/ container terminal n you'll see mega shipyard and possibly 1 PSA Terminal in Tuas as well.

  The older terminals i.e. Brani, Tg Pagar, Keppel are likely to be phased out because it's not going to be able to handle mega vessels efficiently.

  I forgot

  Pasir Panjang Wharve is now history, land reclamation works are in progress for Pasir Panjang Terminal P3/ 4. Eventually PPT would be probably world's biggest single container terminal w/ 42 berths.

  PPT itself has 1 multi storey car park built to house cars here for car transhipment as well.
