Merlion |
|
The Merlion stands at 37 metres tall. The Merlion statue
recalls the story of the legendary Sang Nila Utama, who saw a lion in
Singapore (originally known as Temasek) while hunting. The 37 metre (12
storey) high statue can be entered through the ground floor, and one can
take the lift up to 12th floor to view the city state. Opened in 1996, it is
the tallest Merlion in Singapore. |

|
The Merlion was first designed as an emblem for the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board (STPB) in 1964 – the lion head with a fish body resting on a crest of waves quickly became Singapore’s icon to the rest of the world. These five Merlions in Singapore are the only ones recognised by the STPB.
