Heng Kim Song

Heng Kim Song (; born 1963) is a Singaporean editorial cartoonist.

Career Heng was born in 1963. He studied business at Ngee Ann Polytechnic (graduating in 1983 ) and then became an editorial cartoonist. He won first place in Singapore's National Drawing Competition.

Singapore's major national media outlets are deferential to the national government, and "as a result, national newspapers do not carry political cartoons that caricature the country's politicians." Heng's work focuses on international, rather than domestic, politics. Heng received both support and criticism of the cartoon. Heng stated that the work was not intended to be racist, as critics charged, saying: "I was trying to say that India has come a long way from its humble beginnings. It used to rely on cows for transport but is now part of an elite club because it made it to Mars."

According to the Straits Times, Heng's cartoons, executed in black-and-white, have a distinctive "droll" and "light-hearted" style. In addition to his editorial cartooning work, Heng is also an illustrator and greeting card designer.

Personal life Heng is married and has three sons.
