Happy 50th Birthday Singapore! You have came a long way since 9th August 1965. Can’t wait to see what another 50 years will bring to you.
I like the above image, despite it being obviously photoshopped. It is done by Sheng Long Lua (@lualongahlong).
Accompanying the #LEGORebuildSG campaign is the launch of 4 LEGO SG50 Limited Edition Singapore Icons Mini Builds. The 4 Mini Builds include quintessential Singaporean icons of the past such as The Cable Car, Ice Cream Bike, HDB Flats and the Dragon Playground. The Mini Builds are redeemable at selected stores with a minimum purchase of S$50 of LEGO products in a single receipt. Note that the Mini Builds have already been fully redeemed.
The easiest Mini Build to build is the Cable Car which only has 1 page of instructions, requiring 56 pieces of LEGO bricks to build. Next is the Ice Cream Bike with 2 pages of instructions, requiring 35 pieces of LEGO bricks to build.
As part of the #LEGORebuildSG campaign is the Rebuild Your Memories Competition.
The competition which ended on 26th June 2015 allow fans to construct their fondest memories of Singapore with LEGO.
Few months back, in April 2015, Tiger Beer released the Tiger Beer Limited Edition 1965 Vintage Can & Bottle as part of SG50 (Singapore 50th Birthday) celebration.
Again, as part of SG50 celebration, Tiger Beer will once again shed its iconic blue-and-silver look, in favour of Singapore’s national colors (red and white) on the livery of all cans, pints and bottles, in a limited edition release to commemorate this jubilee.
*UPDATE 30th July 2015* Check out the actual pictures of the LEGO SG50 Singapore Icons Mini Builds!
Singapore is turning 50 this year and hence you will see a lot of businesses supporting the tagline SG50, including one of my favourite company, LEGO.
