新雅 Singa Courtesy Lion

Remember Singa? Our Courtesy Lion since 1982!

I love the look of this friendly Lion and could draw this mascot of the Singapore Courtesy Campaign with my eyes closed. Having been taught to in my young schooling days.

Each time while drawing, in my little mind, i've always wondered why he is not wearing a Shorts :))

This year, we see him in 3D and clothed in Shorts & T-Shirt of various designs.

There are 6 of the brothers at the bus-stop of Fort Canning Hill, reminding commuters of Courtesy Act whilst traveling on public transport.

Our fast paced society for intense pursuit of economic advancement had us behaving dehumanising sometimes. Smiley Singa served as a cheery reminder to us then, and i hope he is here to stay.

Believe it or not, I also missed Singa so google searched for his pictures and stumbled upon your blog. Nice to know someone here remembers him!
