Changed the text[edit]

Changed the text as Singapore has no crest and thus the usage of crest makes no sense.Knorrepoes 08:30, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While technically incorrect in heraldic parlance, as you say, in this case the vernacular use of “crest” to mean an achievement of arms has official sanction, and apparently a long history.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 06:54, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pizzle on Coat of Arms[edit]

The image shown for the coat of arms includes penises for the lion and tiger, which isn't uncommon in heraldry. However, I have yet to see a version that includes them in real life (passports, gazettes, etc.) This leads me to believe the version displayed in this page is inaccurate.
