The Singaporean label "McDonald Kids" was coined by Edmund Wee, a former The Straits Times journalist, to refer to the social phenomenon of students who loitered around the Liat Towers McDonald's restaurant in their loud disco clothes in the early 1980s. Wee's article about them sparked off lively debates in the media and even in Parliament. Other similar moral panics that have appeared in the Singapore media includes the "Centrepoint Kids" (mid 1980s), the "Marina Square Kids" (early 1990s) and the "Far East Plaza Kids" (mid 1990s).
