Global Superstar Ram Charan Unveils World’s First Wax Figure At Madame Tussauds Singapore – Joined By His Beloved Dog Rhyme


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 May 2025 – Madame Tussauds Singapore, operated by Merlin Entertainments, proudly unveils the world’s first wax figure of Indian cinema megastar Ram Charan, immortalised in a first-ever dual celebrity and pet figures —alongside his beloved pet Rhyme.

The multi-talented actor came face-to-face with his figure for the first time at Madame Tussauds London, joined by his family and his father, legendary actor Mr. Chiranjeevi. The figure will then make its way to its permanent home at Madame Tussauds Singapore from 20th May 2025 onwards.

Ram Charan shared, “When I saw the figure for the first time, I was absolutely stunned. The likeness is unbelievable—from the expression to the stance to the exact detail of Rhyme by my side. It’s like looking in a mirror, and I’m so thrilled that fans around the world will get to experience me up close.”

The creation of Ram Charan’s wax figure was a feat of precision and artistry, with many months went into bringing both Ram Charan and Rhyme to life with astonishing detail. Every feature—from the subtle tilt of his head to the lifelike posture of Rhyme—was crafted with care to reflect the actor’s unique personality and calm confidence.

Jim Kempton, Principal Sculptor at Merlin Magic Making, commented, “What made this project so special was the chance to capture not just a global film icon, but the deep connection he shares with his dog, Rhyme. We worked closely with Ram to ensure every detail—from his posture and smile to Rhyme’s alert gaze—was perfect. This figure is a celebration of both his star power and his warmth as a person.”

Ram Charan is styled in a custom black velvet bandhgala, which he wore at the 2023 Oscars. The outfit is a blend of Indian tradition with red-carpet elegance, featuring a high collar, subtle gold detailing, and a tailored fit. It marked the Oscar win for “Naatu Naatu” from RRR, a landmark achievement for Ram Charan, the first-ever win for an Indian song in that category. This brought global attention to Telugu cinema, and solidified his status as an international star thanks to his powerful performance in the film.

Andre Timmins, Co-Founder of IIFA, commented, “For over 25 years, IIFA and Madame Tussauds have shared a proud partnership built on celebrating Indian cinema’s biggest icons and its extraordinary cultural journey across the world. This unveiling of Ram Charan’s figure, a global superstar whose roots in South Indian cinema have redefined international perceptions is a milestone moment that reflects the growing influence of regional cinema alongside Bollywood on the global stage. As we continue to amplify Indian film through IIFA and IIFA Utsavam, it is heartening to see the world embrace our stars, stories, and artistry. Together with Madame Tussauds, we remain committed to showcasing the diversity, depth, and dynamism of Indian cinema to audiences everywhere.”

Public Transport Commuters can use American Express Contactless Cards for Transit Payment from 15 May 2025


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 May 2025 – From 15 May 2025, commuters will be able to use their American Express[1] cards to make contactless payments for public transport fares. This will provide greater convenience and choice for public transport commuters.

Public Transport Commuters can use American Express Contactless Cards for Transit Payment from 15 May 2025

Mr Marlin Brown, American Express Country Manager for Singapore said: “We are proud to partner with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to bring more contactless payment options to Singapore commuters as this form of payment becomes increasingly popular. For our local and overseas Card Members, including those of our third party partners, this brings greater convenience as they can now tap, pay and ride across the ever-expanding bus and train network in Singapore. It is important for us to provide our Card Members a seamless payment experience wherever they live, work and play and enabling them to use their cards on public transportation worldwide is essential.”

Commuters can also add the cards to their mobile wallets and need not pre-register their cards for public transport rides. This will eliminate the need to carry a separate travel card or top up stored value travel cards before the journey.

Commuters who use American Express cards are charged the same fares as those who use stored value travel cards (i.e. EZ-Link and NETS FlashPay cards), with no additional fees involved. Charges for public transport rides are reflected in the commuter’s credit, charge, debit or prepaid card bills, similar to retail transactions. Commuters with a SimplyGo app account can also view their travel expenses and history on the SimplyGo mobile app, along with an option to receive push notifications for fares incurred after each trip. Commuters who carry more than one contactless bank card or travel card are reminded to take out the card they wish to use before tapping at the fare reader, and to use the same card to tap in and out, to avoid charges to multiple cards.


[1] Eligible American Express cards include those issued by American Express and its third-party partners worldwide.

Goods Prices Stay High in Laos Despite Slight Dip in Inflation to 11.1% in April

Laos’ inflation rate edged down slightly to 11.1 percent in April, a modest decline from 11.2 percent in March and 12.7 percent in February, according to data from the Lao Statistics Bureau.

While this marks a slight improvement, the cost of living remains significantly elevated compared to a year ago.

The Consumer Price Index, which tracks changes in prices for everyday items like food, clothing, and medicine, also increased, from 243.3 in March to 247.1 in April. This reflects a Month-on-Month inflation rate of 1.6 percent, indicating a notable rise in prices over just one month.

This monthly increase has placed additional pressure on household budgets, particularly for essential items. Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices climbed by 2.3 percent, while healthcare and medical supplies rose by 1.6 percent.

The Lao Statistics Bureau attributed the uptick in prices to heightened consumer demand during the Lao New Year festival, when increased purchasing activity typically drives prices upward.

Additionally, a rise in fuel prices at the beginning of April further contributed to the overall increase in living costs.
