    THE Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has taken over the management of the Chinatown Heritage Centre from its current operator, a consortium among local companies Singapore River Cruise, Journeys and Splash Entertainment.

    STB said on Monday that both parties "mutually agreed" to end the group's contract to operate and manage the museum, which has been impacted by Covid-19 and prolonged restrictions on international travel.

    Also, the museum, which has been closed since September last year for renovation and enhancement works, will stay closed until further notice instead of reopening this month.
