The much-awaited Yeosu Expo is right around the corner and Singapore has unveiled its theme and concept for its participation to tell an inspiring story of how a fledging developing nation has overcome its challenges and transformed in less than five decades.
Under the theme of “Paradox-ity: City of Contrast,” Singapore is participating in the International Exposition Yeosu Korea 2012 which will be held from May 12 to Aug. 12.
The Singapore Pavilion aims to convey how Singapore balances growth and development with environmental sustainability particularly in waste management, nature conservation, urban planning and water management.
Preparation commissioner Eng Tiang Sing said, “We are thrilled to participate in Expo 2012 and is robustly preparing for the opening on May 12. Not only are we committed to deliver a good exhibition in Korea and share our development story with the visitors, we also wish to learn the best environmental practices of other countries.”
Visitors will be captivated through a coordinated display of audio visuals, interactive exhibits, daily live performances and hands-on activities.
At the end of the journey, visitors can enjoy authentic Singapore food and learn about the unique dining culture of Singapore hawkers in our Food and Beverages kiosk or pick up a souvenir at the Merchandise kiosk.
The Singapore Pavilion will also commemorate its participation in Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea as well as the launch of its official Website, Twitter and Facebook page with an online sweepstake contest on their Facebook page entitled “Your Impression of Singapore.”
