Mr Ong also declared that the official opening event will happen at 8am next Sunday (15 Oct).
His post suggested that he too would be present, as he wrote “See you there soon”, though this is unconfirmed.
Although the complex has yet to officially open, swim schools and instructors have already started promoting their lessons shortly after Mr Ong’s Facebook post went ‘live’.
