SINGAPORE, Jan 19 — More than 58,000 visitors took in the sights and sounds at the Singapore Motorshow 2016, which was held at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre from January 14 to 17, surpassing last year’s attendance figure of 52,000 visitors.

This year’s show was expanded to two levels and saw more than 20 local car launches, as well as stunt driver Russ Swift’s slick display of precision driving and appearances by Mediacorp artistes such as Tim Oh, Jean Danker, Lim Pei Fen and Thomas Ong.

“From the always-packed Russ Swift stunt performances to the live radio shows, contests and lucky draws, we are very pleased to see families enjoying the many experiences on offer at the Motorshow. We will certainly look to build on this year’s momentum for the next edition in 2017.”

Added Jessie Sng, head of Men, Women, Parents Customer Group of Mediacorp: “Mediacorp is proud to be the partner of the Singapore Motorshow for the second year in a row. The event’s continued success is a testament of our joint commitment to delivering a strong product that audiences want.” — TODAY
