When does school start and finish in Singapore today?
There's no authority to stipulate this. Schools have the autonomy to vary the hours.
Unfortunately, it looks like the autonomy is not being used wisely for students' well-being. I am not saying school hours in Singapore are too long, since most of schools, primary as well as secondary, run 7 hours or less a day, but many of schools start their morning class at 7:30AM.

Singapore's national animal is lion. It was so because the first person (Sang Nila Utama) who found Singapore saw a lion before any other animals (including humans).
The Merlion, Crimson Sunbird and Peacock bass are the national animals of Singapore.
What is the meaning of the merlion in Singapore?
Don't know why they put the tail but the lion because when they first discovered Singapore, they saw a lion.
^The person who put that answer up there, is stupid, please get the facts right before putting the answer?
The real answer is.
The Merlion has a lion head and a fish body resting on a crest of waves. 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. In the 11th century A.D, Prince Sang Nila Utama of the Sri Vijaya Empire rediscovered the island. When the Prince first 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" which 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.
