LEGEND OF THE MERLION

Ancient Sigapore was once known as Temasek or Sea Town. Legend has it that a long time ago, Temasek was once wrecked by savage storms. As the villagers of Temasek huddled fearfully together praying for a miracle to save them, a wondrous sight unfolded along the southern shores. A huge sea beast, half-fish, half-lion, came out of the ocean on an iridescent path of colourful sea creatures. With a great roar, it battled the forces of nature, then... slowly the wind lost its ferocity and the storm died down. With a flick of its tail, the Merlion returned to the sea. Even today, you can still see the mystical Merlion, perched on its proud vantage point at Sentosa island, looking benevolently over Singapore.
