Do you know what is a Merlion and its origin?
For a really long time, I used to think that Merlion is the combined form of Mermaid and lion. It does make sense though, right?
So the Merlion is the official mascot of Singapore, depicted as a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.
It has been said that the Merlion reflects the legend of Sang Nila Utama, a Malay prince, who discovered a fishing island called Temasek (which mean “fish town” in Javanese). It was there that he met with a majestic creature, a lion, which purported him to name the island Singapura which translated to “Lion City” in Sanskrit. So the Merlion reflects the lion that the prince discovered.
With Sang Nila’s tale as a basis, the Merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner as an emblem for the Singapore Tourism Board, adding a fish tail to the statue to signify Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village.
This sculpture is located in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking the Marina Bay. The night view of this place is simply spectacular!
You will also find a Merlion cub in this park. Other than these two Merlion, there are 5 more Merlion including the one in Sentosa.
Quick Quiz: Is it a male Merlion or female, eh? 🤣

When you are trying to get a nice scenery shot of Marina Bay Sands and a fresh tuna appeared. This is called 'Tunafoto'. What is 'Tunafoto'? It has nothing to do with fish. A new Malay word from Malaysia. 😅
