An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

This chump is trying to impose his views on other Singaporeans. Just because he think is "unhealthy" does not mean that others share his views.

I bet he is one of those who KPKB about Government interfering too much about personal freedom, but in this instance, he " hope the relevant authorities will step in to stop such unhealthy promotions in the future."




Stop such unhealthy promotions

ON THURSDAY, at about 1am, I passed by three McDonald's outlets jammed with vehicles and customers on my way home.

Police personnel were seen helping to control traffic.

All this for the fast-food chain's sale of the limited edition "Singing Bone" Hello Kitty stuffed toy ("Hello Kitty mania: Cat fights and long queues"; yesterday).

I hope the relevant authorities will step in to stop such unhealthy promotions in the future.

Roads leading to the McDonald's outlets were jammed, causing inconvenience to other road users.

People are forgoing their sleep to queue for the toy; surely an unproductive use of their time for something unnecessary.

It is a waste of resources for the police to be activated for crowd control for such a promotion.

Moreover, at $4.60 a piece, the toys do not come cheap, not to mention the meal set it must be purchased with.

McDonald's is profiting, but at the expense of others with the problems it created.
