SINGAPORE - The Singapore flag was beamed on to the Matterhorn on Friday , the latest in a series of nightly light shows at the Swiss peak that project hope and solidarity during the coronavirus crisis.
The Matterhorn towers over the mountain village of Zermatt and is one of the highest summits in the Alps at 4,478m. Different national flags and other symbols have been projected on its facade since March 24. "The village shows solidarity with all the people who are currently suffering and is grateful to all those who are helping to overcome the crisis," it states.
"It's quite a sight for the Singapore flag to light up the majestic Matterhorn. We have no mountains or snow on our sunny island but we are both small nations depending on our people and wits for a living," he wrote on his Facebook page.
