Where is the planetarium in Singapore? I am talking about public planetarium, not home/school planetarium or software.
Is it true that Planetarium Negara in KL, Malaysia, is the nearest planetarium from Singapore?

Planetarium
It seems that the "omni-planetarium" (or omni-theatre?) is only used for IMAX Movies showing dinosaurs, grand canyon, wild ocean, etc...

Btw, from its website, the planetarium at Al-Khawarizmi Astronomy Complex is only using a digital projector. Personally, I prefer specially designed projector for the starfield, such as Carl Zeiss Jena projector.
I want to see a compiled data of planetariums (at least in South East Asia) with the dome size, type of projector, etc. I still can't find such data from the internet. In fact, the planetarium at Al-Khawarizmi Astronomy Complex is not yet in wikipedia.

Just found out about this place on Singapore Biennale's website:

Immediately adjacent to Marina Bay Residences, the Central Promontory will be a signature waterfront development home to many public attractions, including a museum, art gallery, science centre, planetarium and aquarium.
