Dulwich College Singapore gets called out by Makansutra founder KF Seetoh for ‘brand theft’.
KF Seetoh — local food icon and very good friend of Anthony Bourdain — has politely issued a warning to an international school in Singapore for using a trademarked name that he came up with for his own company.
Dulwich College is a British educational institution founded in 1619 and opened a Singaporean campus in Bukit Batok back in 2014. The international school is pretty massive, and according to its website, has three libraries, three theatres, three swimming pools, a sports field, and multiple roof-top gardens, gyms, dining rooms and coffee shops.
“Gosh, hope all is fine and I know you teach your students imitation is the best form of flattery. But… passing-off and brand theft is an offense la,” he wrote on Facebook in his typically sardonic manner.
