Marina South now very empty..

Happen to drove by Marina South few days back & saw that the whole place is so empty, like a deserted town. The BBQ, the arcades, the bowling alleys, the SPAs & the KTV are all gone! Was wondering where did the Hot Hot Curry Stall moved to?

As of January 2008, all operations at Marina South (other than those at Marina South Pier) have closed down as part of the Government's plans to redevelop the area.

Land at Marina Centre and Marina South was reclaimed from the sea to form a sheltered body of water that came to be known as Marina Bay. After allowing for the reclaimed land to settle, the area was developed to allow kite flying and the playing of soccer as an interim measure. Commercial districts were also constructed to allow outdoor dining, bowling alleys and gaming arcades. In its hey-day back in the early 1990s, teenagers flocked to the area as there used to be Singapore's only Cantonese discotheque – Canto, but it has since closed down due to dwindling business.
