SINGAPORE: More Singapore icons, landmarks and commercial buildings will be taking part in Earth Hour.

At 8.30pm on March 28, the Merlion, Singapore Flyer, Fullerton Hotel and the Esplanade will stand in darkness for one hour in support of the fight against climate change.

Shopping malls like Raffles City, Plaza Singapura, Bugis Junction and Junction 8 have also committed to switching off their facade lights during Earth Hour.

Office buildings like Capital Tower, One George Street and Robinson Point, as well as some service apartments will also support the green cause.

In Singapore, organisers have a target of one million participants.

So far, only about 2,000 people and 350 companies have registered on the website to do their part for the environment.

But organisers believe there will be thousands out there taking part in Earth Hour in their own way and tracking numbers can only be done after the event is over. - CNA/vm
