Former transport minister S Iswaran is facing a legal storm with 27 charges looming over him. As the court proceedings unfold, the possibility of months or even years behind bars hangs in the balance.
In an unexpected turn, Takagi Ramen extends a unique thank-you gesture to Iswaran for his years of service. The offer? Unlimited ramen for six months at their Dhoby Ghaut outlet.
Takagi Ramen announced the offer to Iswaran via a Facebook post where they exclaimed their sadness at his high profile court case.
Citing the items that he allegedly received, Takagi Ramen said that they can’t offer private jets of VIP racing tickets but they can offer him 6 months of unlimited ramen, urging him to drop by their Dhoby Gaut outlet when he catches a train to the court nearby.
They said that they want to thank him for serving West Coast residents for the last 20 years.
