Singapore 2010 YOG Mascots

This MyStamp sheetlet was released to mark the introduction of the mascots for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (SYOG) - Lyo & Merly, on 21st November 2009. The sheet contains the original 4 stamps issued on 14 August 2009 to mark the 1-year countdown to the opening of the games, and labels with the SYOG logo, and the mascots. The orange creature is Lyo, a young lion, and the blue one is called Merly, supposed to be a youth version of the Merlion .... hmm ... looks that the juvenile Merlion has legs! The remaining question now is whether merlions lay eggs or have life birth ...
