Yes,perfectly annoying.Yesterday night was one of those RARE nights with good transparent sky and there is those annoying HORIZONTAL lights from the south;so I thought they will switch them off after midnight.I delay my obs till after 00:30 hrs just to learn that its still on after that.I did shot after that but ALL quite a WHITE WASH.Will post photo later.Wonder if those lights will be visible even in JB,since its horizontally aimed.They talk about carbon tax and enery saving--its should apply to those who pollute the night sky with such light--not to us.Simply wasting energy.

they are not only wasting energy but water too. apparently they used water to create a mist to project the videos.
Didn't the government advise us to save water? So does it means that as long someone is paying the bills they can waste them?
I hate the lights too.

Hi,All
Here are the photos:

2)The beautiful Pincushion cluster with severe light pollution.

Hi superiorstream, if you can see the lights, are you by any chance staying near Sands?

Hi,Shirox
No,I stay at Macpherson--at almost centre of Singapore--but the HORIZONTAL beam is so powerful that its capable of lighting up the dust particles here;and that why I wonder if it will affect Punggai in JB if its aimed in that direction.Luckily the beam is just ordinary light,if its a laser beam aimed at the direction of Punggai,I am sure those clear sky there will be gone too.

I think they have two or three nightly performances including those at 9.30pm and 11pm. The laser and water show by some unknown aussie company is incredibly tacky... YUCKS!
