Hi I'm Mainah!


Hi I'm Mainah, the resident little bird of Tampines Webtown.
I will be your friendly guide in all the nooks and crannies of this exciting Webtown.


A bit about me!

  • My favourite word: squawkaroo. It means super, great, wonderful, simply fantastic (you get the idea).

  • My favourite dress code: singlet, shorts, pajama pants and flip-flops

  • My favourite wisecrack: One bad turn deserves a "Mainah's Point".
    This is called the "Mainah Karma".

  • My favourite hobbies: Making a flap over new discoveries, crowing about what people do, and giving the bird's eye view of Tampines New Town.

  • My friend/enemy: Shadow, the Ministerial Cat. He keeps chasing me.

  • The guy who drew me: Lee Hup Kheng, executive artist of Singapore Press Holdings.
    He is more popularly known as Hup and for his cartoon strip What's Hup.

  • The woman who conceptualised me: Irene Ng, correspondent of Singapore Press Holdings.
