Singa ~~~~

Singa, the courtesy lion was adopted in 1982 as part of the National Courtesy Campaign. At his prime, he can be seen in practically everywhere, from TV to bus-stops to shopping centers to markets. Singa has disappeared since the 21st century. Along went Singapore's courtesy as well.

"Ugly Lion", says one
"Fat Lion", says another
