Did anyone address the elephant in the room so far? What will happen to local retail with RTS?

[starry_starry_night]

So far anyone talk about this?

All the talk and hype over RTS so positive, like last time china one belt one road say until as though it is the best deal in entire history of humanity.

But what will happen to local retailers with RTS? Will jhk travel to singapore to spend here when they can spend cheaper back in jiuhu?

Nothing la. Sg products are higher quality so those seeking quality will still buy from sg

Those that will go are alrdy going now. Those who cant be bothered to go wont go even with rts.

I would like it tho if restaurants and cafes in SG become less crowded. Dun like to queue.
