This comes after ‘Trifecta Fest’, an event scheduled to take place at Singapore Expo from 12 to 14 July, was cancelled.
Speaking to Berita Harian, the 36-year-old said he felt delighted when he saw migrant workers appreciating his small “gift”.
“Instead of throwing them away, it is better for me to distribute them. I was also really touched that these workers wholeheartedly accepted them. Some bought the rub or sambal, and drinks. They even ate in front of me while saying thank you, although I only gave them empty buns,” said Iqbal.
“For me, this reduces waste and I consider this a form of charity,” he added.
In a TikTok video, Iqbal was seen distributing burger buns to the migrant workers in Jurong.
According to Berita Harian, Iqbal spent about S$12,000 on the Expo event. These included expenses for cooking ingredients, rent, wages, and transportation.
He added that the ‘Trifecta Fest’ was supposed to be the first trade fair he participated in. The 36-year-old also shared plans to hold a TikTok livestream to market his ‘Berserak Burger’ business.
“I had even prepared about 160kg of beef and 50 kilograms of chicken to prepare the ‘Berserak Burger’, but was forced to find a place to freeze the meat,” he said.
Iqbal had sought help from a friend to salvage the ingredients. However, as the burger buns could not be kept for long, he decided to distribute them to the migrant workers.
The ‘Trifecta Fest’, due to happen at Singapore Expo from 12 to 14 July, was cancelled at the 11th hour due to licensing and financing issues.
Enigma Collective — the organisers — are reportedly in discussion with Singapore Expo to return the advanced payment to the affected business owners.
They hope to resolve the issue by early September.
