Chan Chun Sing poses with Merlion statue in Australia, among the few Merlion statues outside of Singapore

During his official visit to Australia, Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing stopped by a Merlion statue at Rockhampton Airport.

The statue, which stood just outside the airport, symbolises the close ties between the two cities and serves as a familiar sight for arriving Singaporeans.

In a Facebook post on Saturday (4 Oct), Mr Chan shared a selfie with the Merlion station with the hashtag “#GuessWhere”.
