In the badge above, is Singa the Lion : ) He is Singapore's mascot for courtesy, introduced in the late 1970s/early1980s ^_^ Dash still remembers how to sing the first two lines of the Courtesy song and that part of the tune that was taught to students in the 80s: "Courtesy is for free, courtesy is you and me, ..."
On hindsight now, isn't it strange that we sing of courtesy being free? Wld have thought the strategy is to focus on how courtesy makes life good for all. Hmmm.
Dash swears that Singa has lost some weight since, or at least Dash distinctly remembered Singa being a lot more huggable. Strange. Another difference: Singa has recently started wearing pants. The first original rendition in the 1980s had him in a red tee (on which is scribed a smiley face). In the past few years, he has been wearing pants/bermudas/shorts. : )
