IF everyone really boycott, will the prices decrease?

[bombshell]

You have to boycott even stepping into the malls and kopitiams.
Landlords are the ones causing price increase, you boycott all the stallholders no use one.

 

[blackie83]

Impossible in sinkie land either they increase price or they close down ba

I am saying everyone doing something at the same time. How govt put all of us in jail?

杀一儆百

No one reaches the same conclusion at the same time. We are not a hive intelligence. They will build a tree diagram and pull out the roots. Disrupting the NS system can probably be considered treason since it affects national security a great deal.

 

[Rathcycle]

in short yes, but it's impossible for everyone to boycott because mybfd.

I'm imagining these will happen

The businesses will slowly give up on the groups you mentioned.

The business will then shift their targeted customers to people who can afford.

Slowly business will realise these group will never go back to them again.

Business will be used to that kind of prices to run their operation.

The prices will become a norm.

Then such business upgrade themselves to become a high end consumption instead of economy consumption.

Wonder if such a thing will happen

Depends on how deep their pockets are and if there are new players entering with a cheaper price.

If I want to eat curry puffs, i don't need to buy from OCK. I can get from the malay or indian food stalls where some are still selling at 50 cents each.

Even like nuggets or even curry puffs, can buy from supermarkets and ownself fry at home.

There are still options available

I know in reality wont happen cos SG got many rich elites, FTs and tourists.

But I am just imagining a scenario if everyone really stop patronizing a certain foodcourt or curry puff (for example), say their business drop by 90% in 1 day.... after a week or two will they revise their prices downwards?

I would think yes. But must be united lah.
If got people “aiya nvm lah mybfd” then hard.

 

[Not.banned.yet]

I boycott stop eating Ock for at least 5 years. The only change is up up up.

theres always an optimum price. And knowing Singapore, if Singaporeans don’t want or don’t do, we will find other demand sources elsewhere *clear throat*
