On 8 Feburary 2008, Ah Meng passed away in the Singapore zoo, nearing the age of 48. Recovered by a veterinian in 1971, she had been the mascot for the Singapore Zoo. A huge memorial was held for her on 10 Feburary 2008 at the zoo. A statue of her will also be built.
Say what you will about this, but I am respectful of Ah Meng. It's like losing a legend or an icon of Singapore. Bye Ah Meng, you will be missed.
