  1. SINGAPORE – All Singaporean households will each receive $500 in CDC vouchers from May 13 to help them with their daily expenses. Half – or $250 – of the vouchers can be used at supermarkets, with the other half at participating hawker stalls and heartland merchants, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and the community development councils (CDCs) said in a joint statement on April 15. They will be valid till Dec 31, 2025. The seventh and latest tranche of vouchers was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Budget 2025 in February. Another $300 in CDC vouchers will be issued in January 2026. They were introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic to show appreciation to Singaporeans for their solidarity during that period, and to support businesses. The payout was continued after the pandemic to help Singaporeans cushion the impact of rising prices. The sixth tranche of $300 in vouchers was issued in January 2025. These vouchers are also valid till Dec 31, 2025. In a Facebook post on April 15, Mayor of South West District Low Yen Ling said over 1.28 million households – or about 97 per cent of the 1.33 million Singaporean households – have claimed the vouchers issued in January. Close to $300 million has been spent so far – more than $142 million with participating hawkers and merchants, and more than $157 million at supermarkets, she added. MOF and the CDCs advise the public to be careful when claiming the payout. “Please note that you will never receive a request to disclose your bank log-in details, be asked to transfer money or install mobile applications from unofficial app stores to claim the CDC vouchers,” the joint statement said. The police said in January that they received reports from people who got messages with a fake RedeemSG website link, following the disbursement of the CDC vouchers then. If in doubt, call the ScamShield Helpline on 1799.

  3. SINGAPORE: Business at Northshore Plaza in Punggol town has been hit hard by rent hikes and competition from a newly opened mall nearby, according to tenants and residents. This has led to the closure of several retail units at the shopping centre, located in Singapore's northeast and comprising two sections - Northshore Plaza 1 and 2 - connected by a bridge across Northshore Drive. When CNA visited the mall on Monday (Apr 14), there were at least 10 retail spaces - out of about 50 in total - that were either vacant or in the process of being replaced by a new tenant. A staff member at a dental clinic, who declined to be named, said that since she began working there from August 2024, she has seen at least six shops close down - including a Chinese herbal store, a pizzeria, a Japanese restaurant and hotpot chain Haidilao. “There are fewer options for lunch now, and it’s very boring,” she said. A lot at Northshore Plaza in the midst of being replaced by a new tenant. (Photo: CNA/Justin Ong) A worker at food stall Super Wok - who also declined to be named - said business has dropped by about 30 per cent since the opening of Punggol Coast Mall last month, after Punggol Coast MRT station opened in December. “A lot of residents prefer to go to Punggol Coast Mall, and residents won’t walk past Northshore Plaza on the way to Punggol Coast MRT station,” he said in Mandarin. He added that the newer, air-conditioned mall was a bigger draw than Northshore Plaza, which has an open-air concept. An employee at ice cream chain Creamier said the drop in business was up to 15 per cent, with the opening of Punggol Coast Mall. CNA observered that footfall at Northshore Plaza during lunch hour was sparse, and most food and beverage establishments had several vacant tables. Most retail shops such as Decathlon and Nippon Home also appeared close to empty, with only a couple of customers milling about. The food court at Northshore Plaza at 1pm. (Photo: CNA/Justin Ong) The rise in rentals is another point of contention for tenants. The Creamier staff member said that when Northshore Plaza first opened, early tenants were offered discounts on rentals, which gradually tapered off. The mall opened in two phases - Northshore Plaza 1 in 2021 and Northshore Plaza 2 in 2022. The exits of some tenants prompted Member of Parliament for Punggol Coast ward Janil Puthucheary to post a video on social media on Sunday, acknowledging that rents have gone up by 10 per cent for most shops. But he also said that almost all the tenants at the plaza have renewed their leases, and expressed confidence in new shops moving in. “Only a few of the lots are vacant, and HDB (Housing Development Board) has received bids for new tenants to move in, and they will,” he said. CNA has contacted HDB, which owns the mall, for comment. CUSTOMERS WEIGH IN Residents told CNA that while it was disappointing to see businesses closing down and their shopping options dwindling, they were satisfied as long as essentials like the supermarket, food court and sports store remained open. Engineer Joseph Ng, 31, said Northshore Plaza was not going to attract visitors from afar due to its location. “They need to cater for the residents, that’s why maybe shops like Haidilao were not doing so well, and had to close down.” Agreeing, a 34-year-old resident, who only wanted to be known as Ms Ang, pointed to shops that had closed down such as seafood restaurant Dancing Crab. “We wouldn’t be eating Dancing Crab on a daily basis, it’s more of a weekend treat,” said the resident of five years. “They should have places open here with more affordable prices.” Tenants and residents say that footfall at Northshore Plaza had decreased with the opening of the nearby Punggol Coast Mall. (Photo: CNA/Justin Ong) Resident Axel Teo said it was a vicious cycle of shops closing and footfall dropping for other stores nearby. And those CNA spoke to could see why more people were stopping by Punggol Coast Mall more often compared with Northshore Plaza. “It would be more attractive," said Mr Ng. "It’s right at the MRT station, and so it’s more accessible for residents." Source: CNA/jx(jo)
  4. Former eFishery CEO Gibran Huzaifah has said that Dilhan Pillay, chief executive of Singapore’s Temasek, contacted him personally on WhatsApp to get an allocation on a US$90 million funding round in 2021, according to a Bloomberg News report. Since Pillay has a reputation for rarely contacting founders for pitches, his outreach was a “a big deal,” the ex-eFishery boss said. Temasek declined to comment on Huzaifah’s remarks. According to the interview, Huzaifah also secured an audience with SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son during the pandemic in 2021. Son, who was at his residence in Tokyo, stopped the former CEO’s presentation within 15 minutes of the 60-minute allocated session. Son’s team then sent Huzaifah a term sheet valuing eFishery at about US$200 million. SoftBank also refused to comment, although a source confirmed that figure. FTI Consulting, which had taken over the startup’s management since the fallout, is still conducting an internal audit that began earlier this year. Huzaifah could also face legal action from eFishery investors.

  7. SINGAPORE: President Tharman Shanmugaratnam dissolved parliament on Tuesday (Apr 15), paving the way for Singapore's 14th General Election. Nomination Day will be on Apr 23, the Prime Minister's Office announced. A Writ of Election is expected to be issued shortly, specifying the date of Polling Day. It will also contain information for MP hopefuls, such as the election deposit and documents required. The upcoming contest will be the first under Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, who was sworn in last May, and Singapore's fourth-generation or 4G leadership team. Mr Wong was named secretary-general of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) in December 2024, succeeding Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the helm of the party. At stake in this General Election are 97 seats across 33 constituencies, comprising 18 Group Representation Constituencies (GRC) and 15 Single Member Constituencies (SMC). In the 2020 General Election, which was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) clinched 61.24 per cent of the votes, winning 83 seats out of an available 93. But a swing to the opposition saw the Workers’ Party (WP) make inroads into parliament by claiming its second GRC. WP chief Pritam Singh was also formally designated Leader of the Opposition. The upcoming election could feature candidates from 11 parties, including two opposition alliances. The opposition camp has contested all seats since the 2015 polls. SECOND LONGEST PARLIAMENT The 14th Parliament, which began on Aug 24, 2020, was the second longest in Singapore's history, sitting for about four years and eight months. It also concluded its term with the highest number of vacant seats since independence, following the departure of six MPs for various reasons. Under the Singapore system, Cabinet ministers do not vacate their roles after parliament is dissolved, and continue with their responsibilities until the first sitting of the next parliament. Signs of an imminent General Election have been building over the past few months, particularly after the formation of a committee that reviews electoral boundaries. The Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) was formed on Jan 22. Almost seven weeks later, it released its report laying out major changes to Singapore’s electoral map, with five Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) and four single-seat wards remaining unchanged from the last election. The various political parties have also been unveiling prospective candidates and stepping up their presence on the ground in recent weeks. Voter concerns heading into this election include the cost of living, as well as jobs and unemployment, a survey in January found. A return to full campaigning, including physical election rallies that were last held a decade ago, is expected in what will be Singapore’s first General Election since the COVID-19 pandemic.
  8. Yesss. You’re bringing it full circle—with Washington’s solemn oath and Trump’s twisted slogan echoing into the future. Let’s close this out like a cinematic final act: tragic, powerful, maybe even a spark of hope smoldering under the ashes. Here it is— 🇺🇸 The Eagle and the Bear – Part 5: The Last Republic “The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.” – George Washington “MEGA.” – Donald J. Trump (Make Empire Great Again) Winter 2025 [Scene: Washington D.C. – The Cradle of Ruin] Smoke curled above the Capitol. Statues lay toppled, flags burned, monuments defaced and remade. A new banner flew now: A stylized golden eagle, crowned and facing East. Trump stood at the shattered podium of the Lincoln Memorial. The crowd below was silent—military, loyalists, state media. Behind him, a new motto: “MEGA – Make Empire Great Again.” He raised a hand in mock salute. “The Constitution was a beautiful document… for a dying world. But this isn’t 1776 anymore. This is the Empire of the Future. And I am its rightful architect.” [Scene: Mount Vernon – Ghost of a Founder] Across the river, in the frost of the Virginia hills, a small resistance cell gathered at the grave of George Washington. Among them: Elena Cross, bloodied but alive, her fire unextinguished. She knelt at the tombstone, eyes closed, whispering softly: “The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.” Behind her, the remnants of Phoenix Protocol—soldiers, thinkers, rebels—vowed their oath. Not to a man. Not to a party. But to the idea. [Scene: Final Broadcast – The Last Message] An old radio transmission flickered across dead frequencies. It was grainy, but unmistakably Trump's voice: “History will remember this day. The day the Republic surrendered... and the Empire was born.” But just before the feed cut off, a second voice broke through. It was Elena. “No empire lasts forever.” “No tyrant escapes the truth.” “And no fire dies if it burns for freedom.” [Final Scene: The Ashes of Two Beasts] In a scorched world where the Eagle betrayed its people, and the Bear fed on its lies, a third symbol rose—not of nation, but of purpose. 🔥 The Phoenix. Across the continents, rebellion sparked. Small. Furious. Free. They had no armies. No state. No throne. Just a guide... and a promise. “We are the last republic. And we do. Not. Abandon. The Constitution.” 🕊️ END The Eagle and the Bear is complete. But the fire? It’s still burning.
  9. Let’s dive into Part 4—the twist where America reveals it may have always played both sides. The ultimate betrayal, or the most ruthless strategy ever? Let’s go 🔥🇺🇸🦅 🦅 The Eagle and the Bear – Part 4: Interests Eternal “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” – Lord Palmerston Fall 2025 [Scene: Hidden Vault Beneath the Library of Congress] The room smelled like old paper and iron. Major Elena Cross, ragged and still bleeding from her escape across the Polish border, stood face-to-face with an old man—former Secretary of State Leon Mercer. Long retired, but still holding keys to America's deepest archives. He opened a steel drawer and handed her a sealed document. It was signed in 1983, updated in 2001, and reactivated in January 2025. “PROJECT: PERPETUAL INTERESTS” Inside: the proof. The United States had never been fully aligned with any nation—not the Allies, not NATO, not Ukraine, not even its own people. The Republic’s true doctrine had always been balance through chaos. Elena’s hands trembled. “You knew. You all knew what Trump and Putin were planning.” Mercer lit a cigarette. “Knew it? Hell. We designed it. You think America’s been at war for 225 years by accident?” [Scene: U.S. Strategic Command – Raven Protocol Activation] Deep within NORAD, a dormant A.I. system stirred to life. It wasn’t Russian. It wasn’t Chinese. It was American. Code-named RAVEN, it was built to do one thing: Reset global order in America’s favor once every 50 years—through engineered war, economic collapse, or regime shift. This time, it had chosen Ukraine. And the Trump–Putin alliance? A smoke screen. The real goal: create a fractured world where only one power could rebuild. [Scene: Elena Cross Broadcast – The Flame Goes Global] But Elena wasn’t done. Using hijacked satellites and Raven’s own backdoor, she broadcast the truth to every screen on Earth—from Paris cafés to Russian schools to Wall Street trading floors. “You were never free. You were never allies. You were assets. Controlled. Moved. Spent.” Behind her, the Phoenix burned bright on-screen. “But now the curtain’s fallen. And we decide what comes next.” The world erupted. [Scene: Trump Tower – Emergency War Council] Trump watched the chaos unfold from the top floor of his private bunker. “She lit the whole thing on fire,” he whispered. Putin appeared on a secure line. “You betrayed me, Donald.” Trump smiled bitterly. “No, Vlad. I betrayed everyone. That was always the job.” Then the line went dead. [Final Scene: Global Chaos or Rebirth?] In the aftermath: NATO realigns, but now without the U.S. China invades Siberia. Phoenix Protocol is no longer underground—it’s everywhere. America fractures, its citizens torn between loyalty, rebellion, and survival. But one phrase echoed through history’s final hour, written across every wall and whispered in every revolution: “Interests are eternal.” 🔥 End of Part 4 Want a Part 5 where the Phoenix leads a coalition of rebel states? Or do we go full dystopia—America as a shattered empire, with different factions claiming to be the "true" USA? You call it, commander. You’re writing history now.
  10. the origin of betrayal, how the Trump–Putin pact was forged, and how it nearly destroyed The Phoenix Protocol before it even rose. Alright. Here’s Part 3. Shadowy. Strategic. Sinister. 🕳️ The Eagle and the Bear – Part 3: The Pact in the Desert Flashback: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – February 2025 [Scene: The Royal Palace – Midnight Summit] The room was silent, thick with incense and oil-slick power. No cameras. No transcripts. Just three men: Donald J. Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—the architect of the “peace talks.” But there was no peace. Putin leaned back, sipping black tea, his face unreadable. Trump, wearing his signature red tie, smirked as he unrolled a map of Europe. “This isn't about Ukraine anymore. It’s about legacy. Mine. Yours. We carve up the world now—or we get left behind.” Putin responded in Russian. MBS translated: “And the Phoenix?” Trump chuckled. “The Phoenix Protocol is a myth. CIA fairy tale. I already have people in place to gut it before it spreads.” Putin’s smile was razor-thin. “You better be sure.” Trump nodded. “By the time the world realizes what we’ve done… it’ll be too late.” [Scene: Langley, Virginia – The Betrayal Begins] Back in the States, Trump’s new Director of National Intelligence—Julian Vance, a loyalist and conspiracy peddler—initiated Operation Glass Curtain: the internal purge of dissenters. Over 300 career intelligence officers were quietly “reassigned.” Phoenix Protocol’s original architect, Major Elena Cross, was labeled a traitor and placed on a kill list. She barely escaped with a laptop and a single name: “Ash.” [Scene: Moscow – The Data Exchange] Putin delivered his part of the deal: satellite intel, compromised NATO files, and blackmail dossiers on U.S. generals and European leaders. In return, Trump promised strategic withdrawal from Europe and coordinated action in Ukraine. And one more thing: “You get Eastern Europe,” Trump said. “But Taiwan stays off limits. We don’t want China getting too cocky.” Putin raised an eyebrow. “So we agree. The world is ours—split between Bear and Eagle.” “No,” Trump corrected. “We make it one creature. A new order. Our order.” They toasted. [Scene: Ukraine – Shadow Ops] Before the Phoenix could rise, its core networks were targeted: Safehouses in Lviv: burned. Funding sources: frozen under “anti-terrorism” laws. Elena Cross: ambushed on the Slovak border. But they failed to kill her. She sent one last encrypted message before going dark: “The Eagle betrayed the flame. But the ashes still burn.” [Scene: Undisclosed Russian Facility – The Real Plan] Putin stood before a steel door. Inside, something even Trump didn’t know. Project Medvedev—Russia’s AI-driven military command system, now fused with stolen Pentagon tech. Capable of global drone coordination, cyberwarfare, and nuclear launch overrides. Putin whispered to the scientist: “Let him believe he’s in charge. But when the time comes... the Bear devours the Eagle.”
  11. Let’s goooo 😤🔥 Here’s Part 2 of The Eagle and the Bear — the world is falling apart, but the embers of rebellion are burning bright. Hope you’re ready for some underground resistance, betrayals, and a spark of rebellion that might just light the whole world on fire. ⚔️ The Eagle and the Bear – Part 2: The Phoenix Protocol Summer 2025 “They thought they killed the Republic. But we were just sleeping.” [Scene: Somewhere beneath the Appalachian Mountains] The room was dim—lit by red tactical LEDs and the dull hum of old Cold War servers. Maps of Europe covered the walls, filled with pins and scrawled coordinates. A coffee-stained flag hung above the main table—not the Stars and Stripes, but a burning phoenix wrapped around the Constitution. A former CIA analyst, a retired 4-star general, two hackers from D.C., and an ex-Navy SEAL sat in silence. Then the general spoke: “We strike in 60 hours. Operation Liberty Ember begins at 0400. If we fail, there’s no America left to save.” [Scene: Kyiv – Russian-U.S. Occupation Zone] Nadia, a Ukrainian medic-turned-fighter, moved silently through the ruins of Podil district. Drones buzzed overhead, scanning for resistance. Her heart pounded—not from fear, but fury. Earlier that day, she received a scrambled radio message in broken Ukrainian: “Help... coming. Look... for the flame.” She didn’t know what it meant. Until she saw it—spray-painted on a crumbling church wall: 🔥 PHOENIX RISES 🔥 She touched it with her fingers and whispered, “Slava Ukraini. Let’s bring the fire.” [Scene: Berlin – European Resistance HQ] European leaders gathered in secret. MI6, the French DGSE, Poland’s GROM commandos—they were tired of waiting. With the U.S. turned, they knew war had changed forever. A German intelligence officer slammed a folder on the table. “We have contact with Phoenix Protocol. They're planning to liberate a U.S. military base in Poland. If they succeed, we arm them.” Silence. Then the French minister nodded. “It’s time we stop surviving... and start fighting back.” [Scene: Texas – Former U.S. Base, Now Russian Command Post] Russian soldiers laughed over vodka and cards in the command tent, unaware that the Phoenix had already infiltrated their comms. The ex-Navy SEAL—callsign "Ash"—whispered into his mic: “Payload's in place. We’re about to light the bonfire.” The explosion shattered the night sky. One of Russia’s key strongholds in North America, gone in seconds. The rebellion had officially gone loud. [Final Scene: White House – Underground Bunker] Trump sat in silence, watching the flames on a massive screen. A general rushed in, pale as a ghost. “Sir... We have a full-scale mutiny. Army divisions are flipping. Half of Langley is missing. There’s an attack planned on Fort Liberty. And sir—people are chanting in the streets again.” Outside, in dozens of cities across America, people marched. Quietly at first, then louder: “We. Are. Phoenix.” “We. Are. Phoenix.” “We. Are. Phoenix.” 🔥 TO BE CONTINUED... Want a Part 3? Maybe: POV chapter from Nadia in Ukraine leading a rebellion? Inside the White House as it begins to fall apart? Flashback to how Trump & Putin made their deal? Pick your flavor. Let’s build the world 😎📖
  12. Alright! Here’s a short alternate-history story imagining a world where the USA joins Russia to invade Ukraine — packed with political drama, betrayal, and the collapse of global order. Let me know if you want it longer or expanded into chapters 👇 🌍 The Eagle and the Bear An Alternate History Short Story Year: 2025 Washington D.C. — January 2025 It started with a whisper. A secret summit held behind closed doors in Riyadh. Cameras weren't allowed. No aides. Just President Donald J. Trump—newly re-elected under a campaign of “Peace Through Power”—and Vladimir Putin, colder and more confident than ever. Their handshake sent tremors through the intelligence community. But no one believed what would come next. By March, the U.S. Congress was sidelined. News anchors looked shell-shocked as Trump announced a "new global security alignment" to defeat “globalist warmongers” and "end the conflict in Ukraine once and for all." When the U.S. Marines landed in Crimea alongside Russian troops, the world gasped. Kyiv — April 2025 President Zelensky sat in the war bunker beneath Bankova Street, fists clenched. “They said they stood with us. They said they were allies.” His generals nodded grimly. The betrayal cut deeper than any missile. Across the skies of Ukraine, U.S.-made drones now flew for Russia. American bombers, repainted in a strange hybrid insignia—half eagle, half bear—struck Kharkiv. Washington called it “precision liberation.” Ukrainians called it hell. London, Berlin, Paris — May 2025 Europe was frozen. The EU convened an emergency summit, but without U.S. support, NATO unraveled. France and Germany prepared their own defense coalitions. Britain rearmed, fearing a wider invasion. Protests erupted across Western capitals: “U.S. OUT OF UKRAINE!” “TRAITORS TO DEMOCRACY!” Inside the White House, press access was revoked. Journalists vanished. State media broadcast patriotic songs, and Russian flags flew next to American ones at military bases overseas. Beijing — June 2025 President Xi watched from a distance. Calm. Calculating. With the West in chaos, China moved into Taiwan unopposed. The U.S. remained silent. For the first time in decades, America was no longer the moral compass of the world. Moscow — July 2025 Putin smiled as the flags were raised: one Russian, one American, and one new symbol—two animals merged. The Eagle and the Bear. The banner of a new world order. But beneath the pomp, unease festered. Even among American generals, loyalty wavered. Deep within the Pentagon, a resistance brewed—a shadow network of military leaders, ex-intelligence officers, and rogue diplomats. They called themselves: “The Phoenix Protocol.” And they had one mission: to bring the republic back. Would you like a Part 2 where the resistance fights back? Or maybe a POV story from someone inside occupied Ukraine? Let’s build it out how you like
  13. If the USA joined Russia in invading Ukraine, it would represent a massive global realignment and trigger a series of dramatic and dangerous consequences. Here's a breakdown of how that could play out, both realistically and hypothetically: 🌍 Geopolitical Shockwaves NATO Collapses or Fractures The US is the backbone of NATO. If it sided with Russia, most NATO alliances would be thrown into chaos. European nations (UK, France, Germany, etc.) would likely continue to support Ukraine but without US leadership, they'd struggle to unify militarily. Global Condemnation of the US Countries worldwide (especially in Europe, Asia, and Latin America) would denounce the move. The US could face massive sanctions, economic isolation, and potential expulsion from alliances like the UN Security Council or G7. Rise of a New Global Bloc A Russia–USA alliance would likely be joined by states like Iran, North Korea, and possibly some others sympathetic to anti-Western movements. Meanwhile, China might seize the opportunity to assert itself as the new global peace broker or stay neutral to benefit from the fallout. 🔥 Military & Strategic Implications Ukraine's Fall Becomes Likely With US-Russia combined forces, Ukraine’s defense becomes extremely difficult unless Europe and other allies ramp up aid dramatically. Guerilla warfare and long-term insurgency would follow any occupation, just like in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nuclear Escalation Becomes a Real Threat The line between conventional and nuclear warfare could blur if Russia and the US faced off against major nuclear-armed European powers. France and the UK might consider nuclear deterrence or even first-use doctrines if threatened. 💵 Economic Collapse Global Markets Crash The US dollar would likely plummet. Oil, gas, and food prices would skyrocket. Trade between countries could collapse or reroute based on new ideological alliances. Domestic Chaos in the US Widespread protests, internal resistance, and possibly even civil conflict. Congress and military leadership might defy such a move unless it happened under extreme authoritarian conditions. 🤯 Is This Even Possible? Realistically? Extremely unlikely. Such a move would go against every strategic, ideological, and historical position the US has held since WWII. It would require a radical political shift—like a totalitarian regime rising in the US or a complete breakdown of democratic institutions. Would you like me to write a short alternate-history scenario or story based on this? It could be cool to imagine how the world would look in the aftermath.
  14. All for a toy. A man allegedly refused to queue and stole a Burger King plush toy at a Suntec City event on April 12 morning. That is according to Stomper JY, who witnessed the incident. Held on April 11 and 12 from 11am to 8pm, the pop-up event was where you could redeem the plushie – an anthropomorphic Whopper with cheese – with a minimum spend of $20, including a Whopper, in a single receipt from any Burger King outlet. The Stomper was there on the second day, "I was queuing from 10am and by around 10.50pm, there was a very, very long queue already," recounted the Stomper. "The man came to the front of the queue and demanded to speak with the staff. He claimed that he came the previous day and they promised to reserve a plush for him." The man had told the staff he would come the next day at 9am, but because his daughters woke up late, he had only just arrived. "The promotion terms specified that you have to show your receipt as proof of purchase, but he did not bring his physical receipt," said the Stomper. "However, the staff confirmed that he did indeed come the day before and made a concession, asking him to join the back of the queue. "He was not happy with this and decided to barge in the booth and move the barricades. The manager and another staff member tried to stop him but were unsuccessful and he ran away with one plush toy and his two daughters." The Stomper was appalled by the man's behaviour. "I think he was horrible and a terrible example to his kids. This was plain daylight robbery," said the Stomper, who shared a video of the incident. "The video shows him fighting the staff and taking the plush toy." The Stomper added: "When I talked to staff later, they mentioned that there was sufficient stock if he would just join the back of the queue." In response to a Stomp query, a Burger King spokesperson said: "We’re aware of the situation and are currently reviewing it internally with our team. "While we won’t be commenting on specific individuals, we’d like to share that our on-ground staff did their best to handle the matter calmly and professionally – and we’re proud of how they responded. "We care deeply about our customers and the communities we’re part of, and just as importantly, we make it a priority to support and protect our crew on the ground. Our team works hard to create positive, memorable experiences at every touchpoint – and that includes managing unexpected situations with patience and care. "The Whopper Made Clean pop-up was designed to bring a little joy and excitement to our fans – and we’re heartened by the strong turnout and enthusiasm over the past few days, especially around our exclusive merchandise and activations. "We know how much our customers look forward to these experiences, and we’re grateful for the support and energy from the community."
