Like our roads. Dig and patch and dig and patch again.

The title is so misleading. 

Please indicate that it is the Merlion of Sentosa,  and NOT the Guardian of our island located at the Merlion park. 

The Merlion at the Merlion park,  is the mascot of Singapore,  and our Guardian from evil attacks from the sea.  It will never be demolish. Please go read up on how much was taken into the relocation in 2002, and how respectful our senior leaders are towards the Merlion. 

The one at sentosa?  That was always a tourists attraction,  and nothing wrong to demolish a tourists attraction to make way for better attractions. 

It really gave me a shock had I not read the whole thing. Totally misleading and unacceptable. 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA!  this cracked me up so badly. Pray tell.. from which official narrative did you read about this? Maybe it can launch air strikes or generate seismic waves too?

It was rumor that 宏船法师 advised the late LKY to build such a statue, and placed it facing Indonesia. 

Politically he need a valid reason to do it, and TDB was given the task. 

Guardian of the Island or just  marketing gimmick to bluff children and tourists, it is up to what anyone choose to believe. Not my job to convince. 

I choose to believe in Feng shui. 

 

Off topic but similar rumors of Bukit brown cemetery being left untouched till after 2011 when he stepped down

Wasting resources and adding carbon footprint add to GDP... And it's not sustainable for sure. On the other hand, KTV and massages also adds to GDP without depleting resources not add significant carbon footprint. 

So those who want to save both the earth and the econmy, you know what to do!
