Netizen urges Singaporeans to ‘do more’ to support local businesses as more restaurants shut down and payment woes hit food suppliers

[vbhelper]

we should do less instead
let business fold, then landlord will have no choice but to lower the rental

 

[bobo07]

Ironically those hawkers who don't anyhow raise prices are doing ok.

No need to simi urge.

My side hawker centre will be closed for reno for 3 months and many of them are going holidays.

They always have my support.

Chiu realize those cmi high price opportunist huans are often seen blowing their own trumpet on social media ….. especially those “food influencers” keep advertised for them

Real genuine hawker huans no need advertised patrons auto suppork them

 

[archie7]

we have to let free market do its work
if pple cannot afford or dun wish to patronise
then let the businesses fail
which will affect the upstream wholesellers and commercial property owners
who will then re-evaluate their pricing and strategy
have to send a signal to them

 

[fandango]

I will only support cai png store.

Most people already ate out, never cook at home, and more than half the population are foreigners, what more can they ask from locals. Think the foreigners got more spending power.

In before gian peng gian sai EDMW BBFA say "so when f&b owners earn money, do they share their profits with us as consumers?"

Ish not moi dun suppork, but moi not enough money Bro shikoo!!!

If moi win $2.5 million Toto next Monday, moi will suppork local biz more!!!

Should have done more by voting so that u see the change u want.

Too bad it is what it is. Don't ask people to support this and that.

Siao. How to help or enforce?

I won't support those local shops with chop carrot price.

Market correction. Those that have unsustainable biz models all will GG.
Days of cheap hawker food is over, better get used to it or start to learn how to cook for yourself.

Why must get Singaporeans to do more? Why not the f&b owners seek help from their landlords instead?

Orbigoot to the max!! Kym?

 

[kodomo80]

[crazythen]

the next round of dominos start liao... after f&b get hit... next is their suppliers... dunno until which round then will reach landlords......... by then is anarchy on the streets liao......

Anarchy on the streets…sorry I laughed …

Lower the price, and we'll do more.

It's simple math.

Drop the price, increase qty sold. Lower margin per unit but u make it up with more units sold (hopefully).

U keep prices up, then prepare to wind down lor.

Let's be real - how exactly are u expecting us to help? With our wallets right? And when it's expensive our wallet hurts right? U get the conundrum here?

 

[askxyz]

should urge landlords to do more to support local biz by reducing rental

 

[Visor9999]

Sinkies are doing more to support fnb in Jb these days

 

[trax06]

Rather support home based business.

 

[Travis_Touchdown]

huatz can stinkies do?? instead should urge those landlords to cut their rents rahz...

 

[CCCustom]

The image used for the article is an old school NEA hawker centre yes? I’ll support those … none of that social enterprise crap.

这一切都是谁照成的。。。

Shd be 造成。

 

[Full_Cream_Milk]

That time covid also cry and call singaporeans to support.

After covid the hawkers same old attitude come back.

Used and thrown away like tissue paper

 

[tessss]

right, so singaporeans should support local business charging exorbitant prices so that it's owners and landlord can buy new car every year

Only solution is jlb pap mp salary , bonus n allowances etc are paid by cdc vouchers not cash. Set min deno as $200.
Only support their own constituency.

CDC is a vicious cycle n causes higher inflation n COL

CDC merchants will quickly scan all their own vouchers into their own pockets too n jlb pap laughing all the way.

CDC dont even bother to cater smaller deno or exact amt for all walks of life.

Most of the merchants also dont allow change
