SINGAPORE - The Sir Stamford Raffles statue at the Raffles landing site along the Singapore River will undergo regular cleaning from April 10 to 11.

The statue will be hoarded up while these works are carried out, and it will not be available for photo-taking, the Singapore Tourism Board said in a statement on Thursday (April 6).

"We seek the public's understanding as the works and barricades may cause some inconvenience during this period," the board added.
