We Are On Our Way

By Thaddeus Chew, Extraordinary People Limited

Long considered the unofficial mascot of Singapore, the otter captures the nation's spirit: resilient, playful, and deeply connected to the community. In the march of the Otters, these charismatic creatures move in harmony, each with its own expression and energy, yet united in purpose. As they stride forward to a shared rhythm, they symbolise togetherness, progress, and the joyful momentum of a nation celebrating SG60. With every step, the otters remind us that even in our differences, we move forward stronger together.
