SG is dying. Lot of business folding up.

Cost increasing.... What is gov doing?
probably they also at lost what to do. When they removed the rental control act many years ago. Now no way back. Not when others spent 40 million on a kopitiam.

Who in the world still buys Baleno.

I remembered 1 year my kid needed national day tshirt. Went Baleno thought cheap but it was $39.90 or something stupid for just a red Tshirt with some national day prints.

Are they crazy?

Good riddance.

These are probably large scale garment manufacturers who does for others and just put a logo for own brand and sell

They long lose out to the fast fashion like Zara and Mango etc who churn out new designs every 4 hours at cheap prices

Even the non fast fashion brands like the CK will also come out with new designs and ideas

These people largely don't

Can't compete on price, style and offerings from Uniqlo. Bossini and Giordano will follow closely...

The killer is when all the REITS control the shopping space and REITed everyone
Even the smaller players also follow suit to Jack up rent
Anyway heard its very very bad

If PAP is any good , can always set up a few malls , actual malls and not HDB malls & rent reasonable rates
And see how they manage it

The fast fashion folks basically killed these people off
They grew so big, even these people can't compete & basically die a slow death

In the beginning it will be the youngsters who buy
Eventually their dads and grandads will buy
