Dear Pauline,
You like many of your fellow Chinese are outraged over the missing pig even though i find it amusing that you need to iterate having Muslim friends and how you go out of your way not to offend their sensibilities when dining. I am very sure "your Muslim friends" are touched or is it really subtle racism you are displaying through your indignation over the lack of the stuff toy pig?
Where you and many others have overlooked is that the Muslims/Malays have had nothing to do with this. It was purely a commercial decision undertaken by the McDonald's local management. The decision makers would have most likely been Chinese.. even though the ones flipping burgers are the minority races.
McDonald's much have weighed the decision over the stuffed toy pig versus a potential boycott by the Malay/Muslim population and decided to ditch the pig instead.
Unlike the Chinese, the Malays have conviction and unity. A united Malay boycott against McD would hurt the latter's bottom line. That is why despite making up 15% of the population, minority races are prevented by the HDB ethnic quota from congregating and becoming a political movement to reckon with. The PAP has no such concerns with the Chinese 75% majority as they are easily manipulated, petty and greedy as the McD incident clearly shows.
The local Chinese management at McD decided to castrate themselves to save a few dollars. This is what this fiasco is all about.

Easy. Just boycott mac'd. They pulled the pig as they feared a backlash from the Malays and reasonably so. Do you see the 75% Chinese in Singapore coming together to boycott? I just don't see this happening.
The PAP has been in power for over half a century because of the Chinese.
Quality not quantity. What is the point of having 75% worthless and balless stock? The Malays did not demand the pig be pulled.. the local Chinese management at McD did that all by themselves. Why?
So who are the extremists that coerced McD to drop the pig? It looks like McD did so all by itself.
I remember that. Punching, shoving and thrown through windows. The stoopid Singapore Ah Bengs. They used to queue up overnight for the hello kitty toy only to throw the burgers away the next morning when they were served at the counter. The stupidity and pettiness of the local Chink population knows no bounds.
Hi keling shit brother, you are very talkative today.
which are the ones who are easily manipulated?
isn't it the malays??the whole fools of them can just get forced convert from hindus/buddhists and become followers of terrors.
it's time we free this bunch of lost sheeps.
hey u filthy shit skin what makes you think it was a chinese that decided to do it?
Do u know the higher management of MCD? Most likely you pulled it from your azz u stinking shit skin.
As for the 15% unity etc that's for malays u skin. Last i checked you aren't a malay and a shit skin and shit skins aren't united. You don't even refer to yourselves as indians. Only outsiders call you shit skins indians since they don't know what type of shit skin you animals are.
When it comes to bashing chinese yeah you skins will twist and turn and say you are malays too, a very common example would be that singapore belongs to the malays and not chinese forgetting that you shit skins are also not malays and thus it does not belong to you but of course you convienently forget it. You think we don't know you scold and make fun of malays amongst yourselves which is what kelings are very good at. Backstabbing others.
what makes you think that? Again using that orifcie on your face below your beak nose to fart again.
You do have a point.
In our multi-racial society, we need to make some degree of compromises.
However these compromises are a one-way street - in favour of the Muslims.
A requirement of obtaining a halal certificate is that no toys of pigs can be displayed.
That is the issue, is it not?
This borders on the ridiculous. Will a toy pig make the food unhalal?
It does not consider the rights of the non-Muslims: to affirm our own non-Muslim cultural identity.
We are also proud of our non-Muslim cultural identity.
Compromises in a multi-racial society must not be a one-way street.
For this case, McDonald is not to be blame as it is merely following the demands of the halal certification.
The issuer of the halal certificate is the one who must be multi-racially conscious.

This is the problem. To cater to all races, must be halal certified. Halal certified means halal meats and no pork. No pork is catering all races? Indians don't seem to have problem eating in restaurants serving beef. They simply order something else and allow others to eat beef.
Indians might be more tolerant than Muslims then.
I can understand that they are concerned that the utensils might have touched pork and thus be a source of contamination for the Muslims.
But how can a toy contaminate them?
Cu-pig
Very sharp observation bro !
The truth is there is a typo in the name of the replacement :
NOT Cupid but " CUTE-PIG ", pardon singrish pronounciation !
