Their bonus lor. Bad practice.

1) Bonus is factored in AWS or monthly salary or monthly wage.

2) Now sg has so much foreign labor that don't celebrate the local festivals, why must pay them extra to work on such days that does not impact them? At most leave in lieu can already.

Supply vs demand. Same as grab car pricing model. You can choose not to patronize

those stalls open during CNY charge 50cents or 1 dollars more, dont make any sense
makes sense if they are using foreign labour loh, must incentivise their manpower to stay on during the festive season loh ... or u skip them ... your money, your choice to patronise or skip their services

Thought it's demand and supply ? Seller also bear risk to bring in more than usual to meet demand. Some places like Chinatown, it rain, no business.

Not only ordinary goods, went to the wet market with Mom and I saw the prices tagged on the snappers and groupers! Holy moly...S$49/kg and 55/kg.

Is can boycott one... no need to every year start thread...
That's what I do.
Moreover, reunion dinner usually will have leftovers, just make warm and eat.

I have been boycotting all those who raise prices, starting with bak kwa. I make my own.
