To see beautiful sights such as the Northern Lights, we often have to travel to faraway places. But once in a while, Mother Nature surprises us with rare wonders right here in Singapore.
On Tuesday (24 May) evening, residents were treated to a stunning sight as they looked above them. Instead of clear blue skies, Singaporeans were greeted with iridescent clouds that looked like a local version of the Northern Lights.
