OrchardRdChristmas
12 DECEMBER 2018 - SINGAPORE: Christmas decorations in front of the ION Orchard, a high end mall on Orchard Road. Orchard Road is the main shopping district of Singapore and for years hosts a large light display around Christmas. The main sponsor of this year's display is the Disney Company and the displays are decorated with characters from the Disney entertainment universe. This has upset some religious leaders in Singapore and the National Council of Churches of Singapore (NCCS) sent a letter to the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) expressing its concern about the “increasing secularisation and commercialization of Christmas” in Singapore. The STB reached out to the NCCS, but the Orchard Road lights will remain on through the holidays. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
