Merlion Caged

Singapore's well known Merlion had been struck by lightning! Last Saturday, it was cloudy and thunder was commonly heard around The Merlion. Suddenly, a lightning struck the head of The Merlion. This cause the water that sprout out from the Merlion's mouth to malfunction. a tourist said that he was disappointed because he cannot get a perfect picture of Merlion sprouting water. When the Singapore Tourist Board heard the news, they immediately send a team of workers to check the damage on Merlion's head. The Singapore Tourism Board also said that this is not the first time that Merlion is being struck by lightning.

I think that this is an event story because it is about an event about Merlion's head being struck by the lightning and malfunction it's water sprouting system.

I think that this should not happened because the authorities should install lighting rods around Merlion to prevent it from being struck by the lightning. this would save a lot of cost from repairing it. The Merlion is build at an semi-open area so it is quite easy to get srike by lightning.
