As Singapore prepares to mark its 58th birthday, a special local resident is gearing up for a “two-rrific” celebration of his own. Le Le, the first Giant Panda cub born in the country, is set to turn two on 14 August, signifying an important step towards independence. To commemorate this milestone, Mandai Wildlife Group and bossini proudly unveil an exclusive apparel collection inspired by the beloved black and white resident of River Wonders.
Since his humble beginnings as a 200-gram hairless and vulnerable infant, Le Le has transformed into a robust juvenile panda weighing over 60kg. His playful antics and spirited personality have endeared him to both local and global audiences through social media.
