Yes. And my cat sprouts wings every night at 11:26 p.m. and flies around the room three times and then asks me for tea.

A mermaid and a lion; or lion and body of a fish; or sea lion protesting ad verbatim drudged from the very swamps – almighty Merlion, is an amalgamation of any of the above combinations.
Most locals agree, after being brutally but always regrettably, emotionally blackmailed on pain of having mind numbing movies censored further, that as original as one could get at bargain basement prices from the local wet market, it is to be that of a lion's head and a fish body resting on a crest.
Seriously, “measuring eight metres high and weighing seventy tones, the Merlion of cement fondue (1) was built by late Singapore craftsman, Lim Nang Seng. In addition to the parent, an off spring stands two metres high and weighs three tonnes.” (2)
The lion head symbolises the legend of the rediscovery of Singapura, as recorded in the "Malay Annals":
In ancient times, Singapore was known as Temasek, a Javanese word for sea. Eleventh century A.D, Prince Sang Nila Utama of the Sri Vijaya Empire rediscovered the island.
When the Prince landed on Singapore's shores, he sighted a mystical beast which he later learnt was a lion. The Prince then decided to name the island "Singapura", or in Sanskrit means Lion (Singa) City (Pura).
The fish tail of the Merlion symbolises the ancient city of Temasek and represents Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village.
Now, that we know in return of promises of bounty from this city state where its wife or life partner has hidden all this while..would you care to sign on the dotted line ?
