Attended the opening ceremony of the FCT with Boss. It was somewhat a chi-chi affair. First there was a performance by a jazz quartet, followed by a long speech from the Minister of Transport. Together with key LTA figures, he then went on to officiate the opening of the 350 metre-long tunnel. I could not believe that there were even fireworks.
All of us then entered the tunnel for a walk, which I guess is like, once in a lifetime. Starting from 6am the next day, the tunnel will be opened to traffic and no pedestrians will be allowed to walk through it.

Today marked the opening of the tunnel after three years of construction
The minister looking at the exhibits
Point Two of the second exhibit is so cheeky: 'The fattest boulder was discovered by the skinniest engineer'. The exhibits talked about how the new drilling method adopted by LTA during the construction managed to preserve many long-lived trees in the area, which I think is really commendable.
You still have to pay to enter Orchard
Finger food and cocktail jellies served
If you think the metallic 'Fort Canning Tunnel' blocks (a la Hollywood) are ugly, you are not alone.
