SINGAPORE (ANN): One of Sentosa's most iconic structures will be making way for a themed thoroughfare that will link its north and south shores. This is part of long-term plans to reshape the resort island and the adjacent Pulau Brani into a premier leisure and tourism destination.

Work to demolish the towering 37m Merlion statue, which sits at the heart of Sentosa, will begin by year-end, when construction on the S$90mil (RM273.4mil) Sentosa Sensoryscape project will commence.
