River Ang Pow 2012

Once again, the floating platform was decorated in red & gold to usher in the new year. And once again, the committee decided to 'allow' Singaporeans to immerse in authentic CNY celebrations by inviting half of China over to Singapore.

But first, Uncle Ringo...

The Uncle Ringo rides were pretty uninteresting

Pretty scary for these kids in the mini Viking ship

 Martial God of Wealth
Quick search on the official site about the Martial God:
Martial God of Wealth (武财神)Chinese New Year is all about auspicious tidings and good luck, which makes the God of Wealth, deemed as the patron of wealth and prosperity, an integral part of River Hongbao. This year, River Hongbao welcomes the Martial God of Wealth as the main highlight of the lantern display. According to traditional belief, the Martial God of Wealth is a symbol used in boosting economy and bringing wealth and prosperity to businessmen. An expert in geomancy has also advised that placing the Martial God of Wealth at the Bay area this year will help in stabilize Singapore’s position in the recently tumultuous global economy.
