Couple sneak into Marina Bay Sands' SkyPark

A Caucasian man and an Asian woman, managed to enter the restricted Marina Bay Sands construction site, climbing a combination of stairs and ladders, then traversing several makeshift structures to reach the structure's summit - the SkyPark.

What lengths would you go to for a spot in the latest season of the Amazing Race Asia? For a couple who recorded their journey to the top of the yet-to-be-opened Marina Bay Sands (MBS) integrated resort, its more than 57 storeys and 200m above ground literally.

The footage of their mini-adventure - which was filmed for the audition of the Amazing Race Asia, the Asian edition of the popular reality television series - was posted last week on Stomp.

Other than donning a white helmet and fluorescent vest each, the pair did not appear to have been using any safety equipment. They embrace and share a kiss, with the man even carrying the woman while standing mere steps away from the waist-high scaffold at the SkyPark platform’s edge.

MBS said that the couple had not sought official permission from the management before their stunt & a contractor brought the couple on site without authorisation. The contractor has since been removed from the project & terminated their services.
