How many Lego bricks does it take to create a 1m-long model of an SBS Transit double-decker bus?

About 5,000, say the model-makers of Legoland Malaysia.

But that's just a fraction of the total number of Lego bricks there will be in the Legoland theme park in Johor, which is set to open in the third quarter of this year.

The New Paper was invited for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Lego model-making in action.
