There's a new Labubu plushie keychain in town, and it's dressed in white.

Seniors at Compassvale Crescent were greeted by the PAP-themed doll during a Sep. 22 grocery distribution drive by the People's Action Party (PAP) Sengkang team.

In a Facebook post uploaded the same day, Sengkang West branch chairman Lam Pin Min shared photos of him posing with the doll.

The pair wore matching white shirts bearing the red-and-blue PAP logo on the chest.

• Labubu, a furry plushie with an unsettling grin and serrated teeth, is all the rage in Asia.
• Sold by Chinese toymaker Pop Mart, the toys fly off the shelves.
• The toy's popularity comes from celebrity endorsements and providing adults with emotional comfort.

Grace Lee remembers the first time she saw a Labubu. It had rabbit-like ears and spikey teeth — and her immediate thought was that it was ugly.

But one day, the switch flipped, Lee, 36, said. After a colleague gifted her one in July, she started to look at it differently. "I don't know why, but I started collecting them," said the Singaporean, who works in operations.
