if the team is who what they presented themselves and their project is licensed by the Singapore Tourism Board, i don't think this won't get funded anytime soon. projects of today actually somehow not asking too much for the funds, 2,475,000 USD is nothing compare to what previous projects 2017 got.
Don't expect too much big funds for this year to be collected because many investors are not careless about participating in a project. but we should look forward to whether this project is able to reach their picture.
I hope your words are true that seeing this project will be honest and people will start to be interested and investors will come to develop this project. Time to wait for a miracle.
