Many years ago, the British government here enacted the Rent Control Act to prevent rents from escalating. Our present government can enact a similar Act to prevent current rents from escalating. However, this would make them unpopular with the capitalists.
To be exact, it is called the "Control of Rent Act". It was enacted in 1953. I am aware as my family rented a coffee shop then and the Landlord were for this legislation not able to raise rent. Check before saying anything.you must be new in Singapore
We never set any price ceiling for anything. Its a free market here in Singapore.
Don't make us to be like Malaysia
15% profit limits the amount of greed/profiteering that companies / company owners can aim for. It does not affect supply and demand.Lol... Even commies dun dare to meddle with the market and is still now being forced to open up to the world.
U wanna revolutionize our free market into commie style?
all biz limit profit to 15%. no help any biz.Next will be biz begging for wage subsidies. Why should the public fund private biz, when huat higher profit they got share?
Gov shouldn't put up such law to help this kind of biz.
Depends, whether they are part of hotels serving to hotel tourists/conventions OR foodcourts /coffeshops serving officeworkers/ heartlanders / elderly retirees - Own self judge your market then open/close shopsI got no sympathy for the FNB . Period .

Please read my post carefully. I was using it as a reference to propose that legislation can be made along that line. There is no need to be rude when your ignorance is uncovered.are we still under British rule now?
You might well say the benefits are better under Japanese rule
people talk about modern PAP times, you talk until British rule.
might as well say last time Jurassic time no rental cost. Life is good compared to now

You mean for old or special need ppl ah? Imo still ok lah cuz alternative to that will be gov need to give them money so splitting with biz is a good solution.Actually, there are wage subsidies for certain groups of employees liao....
This is a free forum. Members are free to post their views and suggestion. I referred to the Control of Rent Act and you replied that there is no such thing. This is evidence of your ignorance. Now you babble about modern time and pre-historic time to hide your patent ignorance. You should go back to primary school to be a student. Certainly not fit to be a teacher.like i said, PAP is all about free trade.
And like i said, we are talking here about modern Singapore and you bring up an example of British ruling to show we did it before.
your ignorance is the bigger one here.
your idea is stupid. End up we become like Malaysia. Just because you can, dont mean you should.
But it deters normal businesses if put a cap on profits15% profit limits the amount of greed/profiteering that companies / company owners can aim for. It does not affect supply and demand.
No solution. Just laugh at the 65% if u know any hits with their karma to be happier in this s***** situation.What’s the solution?
Ya, you mean progressive wage increments for low wagers?Actually, there are wage subsidies for certain groups of employees liao....
