Don't be too surprised when you see Mickey Mouse holding some ketupat or satay sticks because... he's taking on a different look for his 90th birthday!

To celebrate the birthday of the iconic mouse we grew up watching AND our nation's birthday, the Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) has launched the first ever Mickey Go Local campaign in Singapore.

Besides the month-long public exhibition, there will also be lots of exciting activities specially set-up, aligning with Raffles City's 'Arts in the City' programme.

Our Ah Ge 阿哥 Li Nanxing spent three weeks painting his Mickey Mouse figurine! #dedication

In case you couldn't tell, his Mickey Mouse is holding a satay stick, dressed in batik and wearing ketupat shoes! Truly Singapore. Well done, Ah Ge!

Felicia Chin's version is not our favourite though.... But it does contain quite a number of Singapore elements in it! Her Mickey is repping our famous old-school Dragon playground. Interesting.

Here's a few others done up by people from all walks of life. #SupportLocal
