Out of all things, why would Singapore icon - Merlion, be struck by lightning? Furthermore, the Merlion is not very tall as compared to other buildings around it..
"Merlion statue at Singapore River struck by lightning; suffers slight damage"
SINGAPORE: In a rare incident, Singapore's longstanding icon, the original Merlion statue at the mouth of the Singapore River has been struck by lightning.
One witness told MediaCorp Radio's 938LIVE that orange sparks flew when lightning struck between 4 and 5pm at Merlion Park. - Channel News Asia, 28 Feb 2009.
Perhaps a sign of "bad" omen for Singapore? You know, the investment loss that GIC made.. the escape of a terrorist (still no news leh?)... yada yada...
