Wax museum

9 extraordinary Singaporeans who should feature in Madame Tussauds Singapore.

So the world-renowned Madame Tussauds will be opening on sunny Sentosa in the second half of next year.

And lo and behold, Singapore will be the seventh (Gasp! Seventh in class! Seventh!) Asian city – after Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Wuhan, Shanghai and Beijing (slated to open early next year) – to house the wax museum.

I always thought that Singapore is the obvious choice; we are the air-conditioned nation, which means the wax figures won’t melt despite the sweltering heat.

Or maybe we are just too mainstream.

So while Merlin Entertainments (owner of Madame Tussauds) mull over who are the obvious famous people who have “had a hand in shaping Singapore” and with Mr Lee Kuan Yew already a shoo-in, here are 9 other extraordinary Singaporeans who should be immortalised in the wax museum.

Okay, I’m not sure whether he’s Singaporean since he’s always covered up from head to toe but he’s the author of The True Singapore Ghost Stories, one of the best-selling series in Singapore and that means the (nether) world to many 80s babies. Raising hell and scaring young and impressionable teenagers witless since 1989 – not bad.
