They are disarmingly cute, charismatic, and have been winning fans with their charming winsome appeal. SingPost presents five of Singapore’s endearing mascots in this series of commemorative stamps. Meet Merli, a heart-warming and whimsical character created by Singapore Tourism Board, who leads you to discover the best and most interesting parts of Singapore; Smiley, the savvy POSB squirrel who has taught generations of children to save up, not squander; and Teamy the Bee from the National Productivity Board (they are both retired) — he didn’t have a stinger but sometimes carried a light bulb! There is also Water Sally, the well-travelled water sustainability advocate; and the empathetic Blood Buddy, who encourages blood donors along their blood donation journey. Instantly recognisable, they are among our favourite local icons.
