For the whole of December 2020, Marina Bay's skyline will be illuminated by a light formation from 8pm - 10:30pm every night.

"Shine a Light" is part of the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2021 and presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
The display comprises a circular formation of 60 light beams, representing the notches of a clock face.
If you want to read deeper into it, here's a short description that will require some suspension of cynicism:
"The collective projection of light rays into the sky — designed to symbolise unity, positivity and resilience — signifies a guiding beacon that underpins Singaporeans’ spirit in navigating through the pandemic and determination to emerge stronger in the new year as a nation."
Every 15 minutes for the duration of the nightly display, a three-minute light animation will play.
The show is similarly choreographed to "symbolise hopes and aspirations for a new beginning."

Members of the public should adhere to safe management measures and consider returning at a later time if the area is crowded, the URA added.
