Rents are sky-high round here, doesn’t the government have any sort of body to stop landlords from taking the mick with these ridiculous prices?

govt = biggest landlords
see how much rent they happily collect from the clinic in a HDB town

 

[fortunehunter]

If I not wrong.
If the pub or bistro can hit certain XXX of beer sold, they able to get some rebate back from the supplier. I heard can get up to 5 digit lo

but nothing beats the one at Mhd Sultan road last time. hehe

Depends on where the people go to. Some people go Dempsey road

Now all go to live house owned by Chinese operators. But to be fair their production quality is good and they cater to a different music genre

 

[sinkiedk]

Aiyoh … are Shirlyn and the band still performing there? I met Brandon through a common friend who’d since passed … very nice guy.

Can learn how to play drums from him?

 

[tauntme]

Good luck to sg smes.. if the Chinese take over more and more, they have their own contacts and supply chain.. sinkie companies don't even think of having a slice of the pie

 

[endo5x5]

Went there semi regularly more than 15 yrs ago, got artistes like Jack and Rai doing regular shows there back then...

That’s called communism. Want ISD to invite you to lim kopi before you learn your lesson? Free market economics is da best!!

She went from SYT to …. never mind.

And that alcohol license and entertainment license… really not worth doing business in SG anymore.

Even now if I want to go chiong I also go MY chiong liao, imagine drinking in a Muslim country still cheaper than drinking in SG. For the money I spend here I can enjoy myself there + can booked a hotel after my party then next day morning Jiak breakfast.
