He initially designed the Merlion because he wanted Singapore to have something that symbolises it. The Merlion is a fictional creature that has a lion head and a fish body. The Lion head is supposed to signify the event of Sang Nila Utama finding Singapore and founding it into a ancient city. In search for a new city for his civilization, he landed on Singapore and the first creature he saw was a lion. However, Sang Nila Utama's civilization fell and Singapore was left inhabitened.
