SINGAPORE, Jan 9 — Fast-food giant McDonald’s has stirred up a controversy in Singapore by omitting pig characters from its latest toy promotions.
The pig soft toy was expected to have been part of a 12-character Doraemon set depicting the animals of the Chinese zodiac calendar. Customers wanting the toy would have to pay US$2 (RM4.8) on top of making a food purchase.
But McDonald’s decided not to include the pig toy to avoid offending Muslim customers, and had a Doraemon Cupid toy in its place instead.

I wrote to Maccas via the feedback option on their website. this was their reply - see the part where they state that “the Doraemon Lucky Charms promotion was never intended as a zodiac collection”….

Dear Kenneth,
Thank you for your interest in McDonald’s Doraemon Lucky Charms collection.
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide customers with exclusive collectibles only available at McDonald’s, we brought in a Doraemon collection that consists of 12 designs. With Valentine’s Day coinciding with the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, we decided to include a Cupid Doraemon in the series. We seek your understanding that the Doraemon Lucky Charms promotion was never intended as a zodiac collection.
We thank you for your feedback and wish you a prosperous new year.
Yours sincerely,
Veronica Tan
