Meet Singapore’s new mascot for the Asian Youth Games!

The inspiration for Mr. Lye's genius, "Frasia"

The results for the “Name the Asian Youth Games (AYG) Mascot” competition are out: Mr. Lye and his wife have come up with Frasier Frasia, a short form of the words “Friends of Asia”. Here’s the winning address: “Frasia embodies the values and spirit of the Asian Youth Games. We aim to gather youths from around Asia in a celebration of youth, sports and learning, from where they will engage in friendly competition. Frasia exemplifies a spirited representation of young hearts and minds in pursuit of sporting excellence. (Source: CNA)”

Sounds promising, no? Now, behold — FRASIAAAA

I mean, this is one of the biggest regional events Singapore is hosting this year, and this is the best they could do?

From the picture, its really hard to tell if Frasia or Mr. Teo Ser Luck is the mascot here.

Sorry to be negative, but “Frasia” really looks like a mash-up between our Courtesy Lion and Kelsey Grammer. Well, at least this reflects a well-known reality in Singapore: when it comes to efficiency and planning, we’re top drawer, but when it comes to aesthetics and creativity, we’re still… Frasia.
