Does anyone foresee a cartel or cartel like retailing of grocery and sundry goods in SIN? Is retailing of groceries and sundries similar to petrol, utilities, transportation, healthcares and other essential goods and services?

The neighbourhood coffee shops and many food courts are now run by a few large operators, the only complaint i have with them is the factory-like preparations and tastes of the foods in them, but otherwise, i am fine with them.

There are quite a few big supermarts in SIN now and i see more competitions in them as each of them tries to outdo the others in this TINY market and personally do not foresee cartel in this sector.

[[Agreed!
In parliament, MPs have immunity from being sue. People must understand why PAP went all out to destroy and prevent Francis Seow and Teng Liang Hong from winning in past elections. Once elected as MP, PAP can’t stop and can’t sue them in court from what they are going to say in parliament. The only thing that PAP can do is to challenge them to repeat what they said outside parliament.

I wonder what both of them would have revealed in parliament if and only if another 2 thousands voters in ChengSan GRC and Eunos GRC had voted for them instead of PAP. ]]

Francis Seow and THL are the BEST we had and looked what happened to them, no thanks to the idiots at Cheng San and Eunos who voted for PAP. And look what happen to their constituency? They got broken up in subsequent GEs. This shows how PAP is “grateful” to you for voting for them.

People have been clamouring for “credible” opposition but when the real stuff came, not enough supported them, thus causing them to be “fixed” by the government.

This caused the rest of us who supported opposition to continue suffer the mismanagement by PAP.

It’s time voters wake up now and vote for opposition in the coming GE.

For one the AXS machines .

1. last time, any local atm card can be used to pay and pay bills.
2. now time, for certain AXS machines, only these cards can be used .
I wonder is it a phased-in approach that eventually only these cards can be used for all AXS? i hope not.

3. while there is the SAM machine, i wonder who owns it?
Will it also follow suit?

4. It seems to me that AXS is the most common in town and next is SAM. There is another one but that is very rare in town. no, should be very very x 10 rare.

Why like this AXS?

citibank shares good good or not nowdays huh?

i remember the govmin bot and sold alot of their shares wore.
anyway its not my money right?

MBT with his MILLIION dollars paid salary should have the foresight to see that privatisation of these heartland necessities will only lead to higher prices from need to max out profits. Just look at what happened to the privatisation of the utilities with the ever price hikes.

During the last GE, the SDP was the only opposition party that raised the NKF issue, and look at what they got from the PAP and the voters in return?

Don’t you agree that other opposition parties are smarter in keeping quiet?

I found the question very absurb and trying to mislead public into thinking that the wet markets in question are owned by HDB or Govt.

In the first place, aren’t the current wet markets at Choa Chu Kang Street 62, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1, Serangoon Avenue 3, Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 and Fajar Road owned by a private boutique property developer Heeton.

Around s’pore, it is not difficult to notice there are so many CITIBANKS in the neighbour areas compare to HSBC, Maybank, Standard.
It operates just like any other POSB with ATMs.
Do you think govt will allow CITIBANKS to operate in the neighbour areas if govt do not have a share in it?

It same applies to Sheng Shiong (Talk C***K Sing Song).
Govt will not be silly to allow Sheng Shiong to complete with NTUC unless the govt has some benefits especially famiLEE.

What happen to CITIBANK will Again happen to Sheng Shiong.

An international student (without any children and elderly parents to shoulder) needs about $750-$2000 a month to sustain a living in Singapore. That is probably the income range of the low income Singaporeans (with responsibilities). In fact I can even deduce that about 3/4 of Singaporean workers salary fall into this income range. So it is safe to conclude that a large segment of the population are living in poverty (equity rich buy cash poor).

This calls for a study on this group of Singaporeans to get a better gauge of their financial situation. The most accurate way to see whether they are really living in poverty is for them to reveal their savings. It won’t reflect well on the government if this study is really conducted.
