The Singapore Flyer - a giant observation wheel, is set to be Asia’s most visible Iconic Visitor Attraction. When completed in March 2008, The Singapore Flyer will provide breathtaking panoramic views of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
It will be one of the world’s largest man-made moving land objects at a height of 169 metres – equivalent to a 42-story building. It will comprise a giant observation wheel 150-metres in diameter sitting astride a 20-metre high, three storey terminal building.

Very similar construction with another similar giant observation wheel in London, called London Eye

Umm, The constructions aren’t really all that similar. They are both unfinished large ferris wheels near major cities, that’s about the extent of the similarity.
Or did I miss something?

FYI: London Eye is operational for quite some times. So is not unfinished.
So, what Singapore is going to build is the idea and concept copy of London Eye.
