Recently Mac launched their Zodiac collectibles but decided to leave out the Pig and replaced it with a Cupid. They singled out that they must be sensitive to the Muslim.... To me it is a joke cos this is not the first time that they launch something with a pig. I still remember they launch kitty series zodiac for 1 of the chinese new year. If they want to be sensitive to all religions, dun you think they should ban beef too... Hindu dun take beef... I had already boycott Mac... I am asking people around me to ban them too...

nay, I won't boycott Mac... but Zodiac collection w/o a pig is a joke, maybe juz boycott the Zodiac collection lor

First Mac say that they wanna to be sensitive, then they say that the series is not the Zodiac... Unless they be sensitive to the Hindus by not selling beef... Can you imangine shops selling Winnie the Pooh series not having piglet.... I remember Mac also have this series with Piglet.... Maybe their CEO is a muslim now

Mac Pork ... in Thailand... They should have Mac Donald with pork and for their halal one should rename to Mac Halal cos they wanna act sensitive... As for now... Singapore Mac is out for me....So far I boycott komalas villa for 5 year liao... Let us start this boycott and then let their CEO read this website to know our fustration.

i think Hong Kong Mac has the pig one and very nice.

they should also take out the dog as its disrespect to the muslim too. take out cow to the buddhism.

woahahaha... might as well they dont launch this series at all... so many animals need to ban...

lol... then Ang mo zodiac better hor... oni got crab, lion, virgin, twins....etc.. lol

Very enlightening you all!
Since it is for Chinese NY, McD should put up the full set, and I am sure the other races would not mind.
Goes the same for another race's festival and related toys.
Sure McD wanted to be considerate, but by doing this, aren't they ignoring/distorting the Chinese culture? Tak bagus.

Panda: then you go suggest to macdonald lor.... kekeke..

Think again, is just part of publicity ... and McD had done it again.... the topic is being brought to the table and every corner is talking abt it.. even my mum who dont eat McD oso noe abt this issue... which means... McD had done well in their advertising.

cjy666, I agree with you. Can share what your mum thinks, since she is an elder.

lol.. her 1st impression is "huh??? no pig zodiac ah... then ah yuan's zodiac dun have lor"

*ah yuan is my son's nick name and he's born in the year of pig... lol

Then McD should give meal vouchers to all Chinese born in the year of pig to generate even more publicity!

tat's a good idea... to compensate to those born in that year... ^^

hahaha.. same same... i actually wana the pig doraemon for my son... then realise they don have replace with a cupid doraemon..

Please follow me and boycott Mac.... cheers. Not onli they need to take away the dog and ox.. they should not sell beef too.

Perhaps the relevant authorities should order MacDonalds to shut down its operatios in Singapore as the food it sells (beef) is disrespectful to Buddhists.
