NSmen queue up for 1,000 free Whopper burgers

Fast food joint Burger King gave away 1,000 “Whopper” burgers to NSmen on Friday afternoon because the company wanted to show their “appreciation” and give the uniformed men an opportunity to “satiate their appetite”, said general manager Wong Shyang Jiuu. The first 1,000 soldiers queuing outside its outlet at White Sands Shopping Center in Pasir Ris got a free burger each. They also got to complete the meal with a drink and a pack of fries at discounted prices. The rest of the men waiting in line got to buy the iconic burger at half the price (usual price $5.95) -- only for the day.
