MERLION legend

"MERLION name was picked for a reason. It was inspired by the Asia-Pacific region - the origin of products which were a starting point in the company's distribution business. The idea was to link the new name and ancient chronicles of inhabitants of the Indian Ocean's islands. These chronicles mention a mythical character "half-fish, half-lion", or Merlion - the guardian angel of Singapore.

One of the legends tells that ages ago a giant beast lived in the area, with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. The beast was guarding the ancient Singapore. When Merlion saw an enemy, its eyes would lit up with red fire and burn the foe to ashes. Never ever has Merlion missed the danger. And one day, when the country was menaced by a terrible storm, the majestic creature came out of the sea and saved humans from inevitable peril, and the country - from inevitable destruction. People of Singapore still worship Merlion. To commemorate their savior, they have built the 37 meters high stone sculpture of the lion-fish.

All legends chant Merlion as a brave and reliable defender of the country and its people. We chose the name of Singapore's legendary guardian MERLION as the symbol of power, reliability and unfailing duty."
