It is never about profit... it is about ticking boxes on their ESG list.

Honestly, our gov didnt really think this through properly. The fact that only two non-open refund modes are allowed says a lot already.

Just another con job under the grease movement.
Same for the plastic bag.
And who is giving the assist ?

[buttbERry]

if people nv claim is people lose money

 

[tauntme]

all the small retailers and parallel importers really jiak sai

Anyway NEA should be ones collecting the deposits and non-refunded monies instead, then disbursing operational money to BCRS Ltd. Why they outsource this to others???

 

[CantStopWhining]

Wait what? So it's not led by the govt and it doesn't include parallel importers?

So basically parallel importers got owned badly by the local producers?

 

[Heriophant]

This scheme has enhanced our livelihoods.

what a joke this entire scheme is

 

[Mclairs83]

by doing so.

donki, value shop, tian ma and scarlett.. all can prepare to close down liao.

It's like safety mark claim to make your appliance safer. It's actually a control for the bigger players to have an advantage.

Small companies can't import easily anymore or have higher barrier/cost.

Meaning less competition and prices are less decided by buyers.

The increase won't be just 10c on the bottles, this is just a start. Go snapshot the prices you bought in the past and compare it later.

 

[Can Or Not]

Very troublesome I feel….
