Hi everyone,
Mostly we'll focus on background legends regarding the origin of Singapore.
This link gives a few versions of the above-mentioned legends; the one on the Mer-lion is of particular interest to our research. This is the story as advertised by a Singapore travel agency website.
(Here's another series of legends. Number 9 is a largely summarised Mer-lion tale.)
I found a VERY basic summary and analysis, yet Mr. Sir has the most comprehensive online analysis I've seen by far.
