SINGAPORE - Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) CEO Isabella Loh has apologised to Singapore Polytechnic students for canning a popular Halloween event they spent seven months organising.
In a Facebook post, Ms Loh also said she had not intended to link the comments of President Tony Tan to WRS' decision to cancel Halloween Horrors, an annual event held at the Night Safari. "I know that the decision to cancel Halloween Horrors was sudden, and I am very sorry for all the upset it has caused," she wrote.
"In particular, I would like to reiterate my apology to the Singapore Polytechnic students. I have spoken with their Principal and I plan to meet them personally to discuss this matter early next week.
"I would also like to clarify that I did not intend to link President Tan's comment from our Mid Autumn Festival "Moon Night" celebrations (last Sunday) to the decision to close Halloween Horrors, which was made in consultation and agreed by the management of Wildlife Reserves Singapore. The Board was informed."
Earlier this week, in announcing the cancellation of the event, Ms Loh had said she agreed with comments made by Mr Tan that, "going forward, WRS parks should have more family-bonding and wholesome activities".
