A duck race? ...in Singapore?
That's right! The Singapore River turns yellow once a year as thousands of rubber ducks race to win prizes and raise money for charity. The race was first introduced in 1998, the first rubber duck race in Asia.
The Great Singapore Duck Race starts with the 'Adopt-a-Duck' season where 100,000 rubber ducks will be put up for adoption to raise a target sum of S$ 1 million for several beneficiary charities. Each adoption costs S$10 and offers participants the opportunity to do their part for charity as well as take part in the duck race and stand to win attractive prizes.
