This famous Singaporean icon was once kept as a pet
Ah Meng (circa 18 June 1960 – 8 February 2008) (Chinese: 阿明) was a
female Sumatran orangutan and a tourism icon of Singapore. She was smuggled from Indonesia and kept illegally as a domestic pet before being recovered by a veterinarian in 1971. She was then eleven years old and was given a home at the Singapore Zoo. Ah Meng. (2006, June 19). Retrieved from
