Fish out! Underwater World Singapore to shutter doors on June 26

There will be special rates until it ceases operations.

This is not a fish story. Underwater World Singapore (UWS) revealed on Monday that it will end its operations on June 26, after over 25 years of operations.

UWS is a subsidiary of Mainboard-listed Haw Par Corporations. UWS said that it will have to vacate its Sentosa facility and cease operations with the expiry of its lease in less than two years.

UWS said that it will relocate its animals to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom (COK) in Zhuhai, China.

“Although UWS’ lease is not ending yet, ensuring that our animals have a good home to relocate to is our responsibility and we decided to facilitate their transfer to COK and to cease operations earlier. The transfer of the UWS animals to COK was approved by the authorities in Singapore and China and the animals were relocated last week,” UWS said in a statement.

From June 7 until June 26, guests can visit the park at its 1991 opening ticket price of $9 per adult and $5 per child.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
