Following the groundbreaking announcement, experts predict that the tourism industry will foresee a staggering drop in its marketing and advertising sector, with fears that the industry's revenue will drop to a staggering 50% all-time low in Singapore's history.
"Its nothing that we've ever expected before," said the professor when approached by the Durian after surprising him in his car after the conference. "All prior widely-accepted beliefs dictated that Singapore would be circular in shape, with soil content similar to that of the clay of Bukit Merah." "Instead we have discovered through the novelty of Google Maps that Singapore is in fact more of a diamond shaped landmass with notably more concrete than soil in its topography, a remarkable discovery."
Reports from internal sources suggest that the tourism board is currently scrambling to re-brand itself following yesterday's announcement, with some suggesting labels such as "Diamond of Asia" and "It Costs As Much As It Looks". to be used to replace the aged and seriously overused "Little Red Dot" branding that Singapore has had for its entire existence.
In a government press conference held this morning, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has also revealed that all land reclamation efforts have been currently put on hold following the announcement yesterday. Citing "currently uncertain national boundaries", the government will cease all land reclamation activities until cartographers are able to verify how much more land Singapore can reclaim based on yesterday's update on Singapore's geography.
