The Development of Singapore Flyer

Due to financial problems, the project of Singapore Flyer was once suspended. And in 2005, thanks to the capital injection from two German banks, the project was resumed. On May 28th, 2013, it was announced that Singapore Flyer filed for bankruptcy administration, and the accounting firm Ferrier Hodgson was appointed to temporarily take over and manage the assets of the previously operated company. During this period, the Singapore Flyer will be open as usual to receive tourists. And till now, the Singapore Flyer is still open.
