MEET Frasia. The symbol of the upcoming Asian Youth Games (AYG) has been named.

After a competition jointly held by The Straits Times and AYG organising committee last month to find a name for the mascot, its official name and the winner of the competition was officially revealed on Tuesday.

Contest winner Michael Lye, 55, an in-flight supervisor and his wife Georgia, 50, wanted a name that captures the spirit of the June 29 to July7 Games, one that embodies values like community and sportsmanship.

And so they came up with Frasia, or Friends of Asia, to represent the essence of the inaugural event, which will see the Republic host some 1,100 athletes aged between 14 and 17.

A total of 1,470 entries were submitted during the week-long contest.

It does look half man half animal. Quite disguisting looking actually.

It resembles a old tanned obese hippy with tinted blond hair and beard.

I could have sworn it looked like someone who takes his morning excercise in the East Coast Park and report to work at 1100 at the palace.

it looks lame with a capital L. the tourists flock here for the merlion, so y cant they just do a spin off using the merlion as mascot? then no need to waste public funds for the stupid YOG
