At the entrance of The Cathay shopping mall sits an eye-catching dog sculpture, but not everyone is pleased with how it has been decorated for Halloween.

Known as POPek, the striking red sculpture is part of the Singapore Cathay Center Balloon Dogs art exhibition.

The iconic pooping balloon dog was designed by London-based artist Sebastian Burdon, who goes by the online moniker whatshisname.

Stomp contributor Gina, however, is incensed at how the sculpture has been decorated for Halloween.

She contributed a photo that shows POPek being dressed up in a wig and costume.

She told Stomp: “This is a tasteless, disastrous and less than half-hearted attempt at a Halloween dress-up in public.

“I can’t believe this is something that the mall management approved and think is of quality to be exhibited in public.

“Above all, it is an insult to the original POPek sculpture and I feel extremely bad for the original artist that his beautiful work has been subjected to such a senseless violation.”

Gina also provided feedback about the sculpture to The Cathay and shared a screenshot of the response that she received.
