SINGAPORE’S iconic Merlion statue may come to Shanghai to charm visitors for the Shanghai 2010 World Expo, a senior official of the country’s tourism authority told local Shanghai media today.The Merlion is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. It was the logo of the Singapore Tourism Board from 1964 to 1997 and later became one of the most popular tourists’ spots in the country. More than one million tourists go to see the statue every year.
It has just been repaired after lightning damaged its head on February 28.
“I think it is a quite good idea and I hope the plan will come true,” said Poon. He added that the board will discuss this with the Singapore government before making a decision.
Wah lau I can’t believe this. can we bring something/one else? Phua Chu Kang maybe? Or pork floss bun (actually it’s already there)
