VMY2007... Last-minute touches

It's a fast-track record.

Yesterday, The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) approved the safety standards of the 30-metre high ferries wheel, dubbed Eye on Malaysia, after undertaking a three-day intensive inspection, a Tourism Ministry official said.

By 6.30pm when I re-visited the place, workers were seen frantically and literally putting the finishing touches 24 hours before launch.

Join me in this pictorial tribute to the unsung heroes who will put up a great show for Malaysia, tonight. For a moment, I will forget about the VIPs.

After the hard work, the collective outcome is visually awesome.

Is this done by the same people who did the London Eye?
