Bring back Halloween Horrors: Not fair to cancel it when many fans have bought tix

You call this fun?

STOMPer Isaac is calling for the reinstatement of the Halloween Horrors event which has suddenly been cancelled after being held in the Night Safari for the last five years.

Said the STOMPer:

"Going by recent reports in the media, the new CEO of WRS is not a very popular person right now.

"She suddenly cancelled an event that had ran for the last five years at the Night Safari, upsetting many people in the process, particularly people who has purchased tickets for the event and people linked with the event in one form and another, some going back months.

"The apparent reason given by her was: 'The Halloween Horrors event is cancelled because of the negative feedback received from corporations, the public and the media about the event, especially over it relevance in relation to conservation.'

"If this is the case, what has the WRS board been doing for the past five years apparently endorsing this event under the previous CEO?

"Ms Loh was reported to have also to link President Tony Tan's comment made at the Singapore Zoo's Mid Autumn Festival 'Moon Night' celebrations to the decision to close Halloween Horrors but had to back down with an apology.

"In my view, Ms Loh has the right to change the direction of a corporation that is not moving in the 'right' direction but to do it a manner has caused some much consternation certainly leaves a bad taste in most people mouths.

"I would think the right thing to do under the present circumstances is for WRS to reverse the decision and re-instate the event and make an apology for Ms Loh 'mistake'.

"WRS could make a graceful exit by not holding the event next year without the negative publicity!"
