It is not up to them to bother or not be bothered. There will be inspections and spot checks from NEA agents checking on the retailers including the value shops.

If NEA is strict on banning parallel imported drinks that do not have the BCRS label then there will be very little incentive left for value shop to parallel import the drinks liao.

Wah early morning saw one FW feeding a BCRS machine with one trash bag full of beer cans. Huat ah!
So as we might realise. The bcrs is not really targetted at small time individuals like you and me. Whom many would have done recycling to some extent.

we are like the collateral damage, so bobian

Parallel import is cheaper mah. The whole point of doing business is to earn profits to pay the staff or to lose money.

More machines, more electrical, support, admin and misc services.

There are a handful who are so darn happy at the expenses of the whole singapore including foreign visitors and tourists.

I bet there will be millions of dollars to account for bottles never returned. Do we consider this excess a success or a failure?
