This photograph made available by The Straits Times newspaper shows people waiting in a queue to purchase a Hello Kitty toy in a skeleton outfit at a Mcdonalds restaurant in Singapore.

TEMPERS have flared and police had to be called in as anxious Singaporeans rushed to McDonald's outlets to buy Hello Kitty plush toys being sold by the fastfood chain as a promotion.

Hundreds had begun queuing from Wednesday night to get their hands on a kitten in a skeleton outfit, depicting a character from the German fairy tale The Singing Bone.

It was the last of a series of six limited-edition Hello Kitty characters dressed in different outfits from popular fairy tales which were being sold by McDonald's this month.

In some outlets, chaos broke out amid rampant queue jumping as supplies of the toys ran out soon after the stores opened for business on Thursday.

One video uploaded on YouTube showed police officers mediating between two customers in front of a McDonald's counter.

Another showed an irate man asking an agitated crowd "Is he Singaporean? Is he educated?", apparently in reference to someone who had gotten a queue ticket ahead of others.

Some customers took to Facebook to register their anger after they went home empty-handed, while others immediately put the toys - sold for $Sg4.60 ($3.92) with set meals - up for sale online at far higher prices.

Some Singaporeans are obsessed with completing the entire collection.

"This is absolutely ruining the Singapore reputation. Poor management and irresponsible," wrote Catherine Ong on McDonald's Singapore's Facebook page.

Others voiced their annoyance at compatriots who had let their Hello Kitty mania run out of control.

Singapore last went into a Hello Kitty frenzy in 2000, when McDonald's sold a series of the toys in wedding outfits to usher in the new millennium.

what's inside the Kidzania:

KidZania Kuala Lumpur, children perform different jobs and professions pertaining to adult life. The visit is an educational and entertaining experience due to the many activities designed to support the comprehensive development of children.

	Learn While You Play From keeping calm when flying through turbulent weather, visiting the bank to withdraw their salary or even the act of sanitizing their hands before preparing snacks, kids walk away from each job with knowledge that can be used in their lives. Real-world experiences provide each job with a sense of accomplishment that is invaluable.
	Live Your Ambition With over 60 establishments and more than 90 activities available, children will be spoilt for choice when it comes to pursuing their dream career. In fact, for those who are not in a hurry, why not try them all and see where it leads. Each job allows the child to experience the challenges faced and gauge their own level of interest.
	Meet New Friends Here, your child will meet, play and interact with many other children from all around the world. You can look forward to kids forming lifelong bonds of friendship that will encourage them to express themselves more actively with their new companions. Who knows, they may even pick up a language or two.
