This are the picture showing or Singapore mascot MERLION.
The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a LION and the body of a FISH, used as a mascot of SINGAPORE. Its name combines "mer" meaning the SEA and "LION". The fish body represents Singapore's origin as a fishing village when it was called TEMASEK, which means "sea town" in JAVANESE. The lion head represents Singapore's original name — SINGAPURA — meaning "lion city".
Merlions statue can be found in Sentosa - Imbiah lookout! And it can also be found in the Merlion park. There's a 'Baby' merlion located there too.
Feedback from tourists 'It's very interesting to see a Merlion spitting out water!! The Merlion did really reflect on the history of singapore. It pretty educating to the younger generations'
