They are all in Chinese Gardens now ....

thank you sir! luckily never crash those statues and use it for reclamation at pulau semakau. those statues are all the cardinal figures for true blue Chinese traditional culture.

the Eight Chinese Legendary Heroes statues were relocated to the Chinese Garden from Marina City Park's Sculpture Garden since January 2007.

What worries me is that people will start burning joss sticks for such idols.

typical intolerant nazis who think muttering gibberish as 'tongue-speaking' is superior to joss stick lighting .... expending lots of energy in silly worries & persecution of 'idol-worshippers' ....

See statues cannot appreciate art, reflex action is to associate with 'idol worshipping' .... jesus christ !

Lol, your brain just made a left turn and heading for dingdongville. What's wrong with paying our respect to heroes and people with high morals? Don't think you'll see it that way. What a superficial prick.

I was about to ask this myself .... i think new generation dunno yr references.
The merdeka bridge is behind golden mile the stretch of nicholl highway spanning kallang river to reach the old PA side (old airport) right ?

Seems those 2 lions got many replicas oredy, i once saw them in the People Assoc Kallang grounds .... but the authethic ones & its actual location now .... I also dunno.

Postnew, chor kang horboh ? u think award-winning so easy izzit ? joking lah !

 

[mercbenz]

At SAFTI now.

I wonder which direction they're facing.

Singapore heritage board got no respect for SG's historical items, see, people DO remember them! That's the precursor to our current Merlion, how can they just chuck it in an army camp?

 

[elephanto]
