Walking on Water at Bras Basah MRT station

The Bras Basah MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) station in Singapore has a shallow reflection pool which has a glass bottom which acts a skylight for the underground station, bringing in natural light into what would have been otherwise another artificially lit underground station. Given the tropical climate, green algae would probably form on the glass bottom of the pool without maintenance. So, these guys are here cleaning the pool at least once a week. Here is an image of one of the maintenance crew sweeping away the water. The uniform dots you see are part of the design on the glass.
