We know today that Singapore was never home to lions, but
the Malayan tiger. Still, the (kitschy, if we may) Merlion – with its lion’s
head and body of a fish – remains one of the country’s icons. You’ll find five
official Merlion statues ’round Singapore – two of which are located at the
Merlion Park in One Fullerton. Psst: There’s plenty to see and do in the Marina
Bay area besides Merlion-spotting. More curious about Singapore’s tiger lore?
In 1902, the last tiger in Singapore was shot while cowering under a table in
Raffles Hotel’s Bar & Billiard Room.
