Netizens joke that dinosaurs will become extinct again

Many netizens were infuriated by the girl’s actions of climbing onto the exhibit and shaking it.

Some quipped that such behaviour will cause the dinosaurs to become ‘extinct’ all over again.

There was a common consensus that such behaviour is irresponsible and unacceptable as it may damage the dinosaur displays.

Exhibits should be treated with care

Speaking to MS News, a Changi Airport Group (CAG) spokesperson revealed that one of the exhibits has already sustained damage and will be temporarily removed for repair.

Following this incident, the organisation will be adding cautionary signs along Changi Jurassic Mile, reminding visitors that no climbing is allowed.

Surveillance cameras are also in place to monitor visitors’ behaviours.

CAG reminds the public that the exhibits are for everyone’s enjoyment. For that reason, they should be treated with care.
